Green energy is coming in a big way.
Really s0n?
Is that so?
Heres the thing........there is zero evidence of that. Solar powers just 1% of the country. Wind a smidge less than 4%. duh..........and by 2040, both solar and wind combined ( with hydro btw ) will still be at less than 10%.
Yep...........its coming in a BIG way!!
I have no idea why anyone would be opposed to clean, alternative forms of energy if it is economically viable. (Unless, of course, you work in the oil industry.) Energy is energy. That's why Texas has been leading the way in green energy. The Texas capitalists see what's coming.
Of course alternatives aren't going to replace the installed base any time soon. But the technology is improving, and it is becoming competitive without the subsidies.
"I have no idea why anyone would be opposed to clean, alternative forms of energy...."
Simple.
Not as simple as you are...but simple: as the OP proved, it doesn't work.
good for a modicum of backup?
