That’s now. It seems the plans are for this nation to eventually be totally powered by green energy.
Wind is less than a quarter of what they use in Texas. Folks in Austin are starting their 3rd day with no power and the temps were in the high 20's for about 18 hours...

In our lifetimes, fossil fuel vehicles will become extinct, and the smokestacks of electricity plants powered by coal or gas will cease to emit their filth.
However I feel there is hope that the push for solar and wind power will be replaced by Fusion power. Nuclear power without all the danger.
Nuclear fusion power plant plans underway in US after breakthrough
‘We are positioning ourselves to build the first-of-a-kind power plant,’ says vice president for research and partnerships at the University of Oklahoma

[1]Advocacy group Fusion Industry Association claimed that at least 15 private fusion companies have applied for the grants, with applications closing on Thursday.
Among the applicants is California-based Longview Fusion Energy Systems, which is working in collaboration with the University of Oklahoma in order to develop concepts to build and operate commercial power plants, according to a report in The Norman Transcript.
“At this point, we are positioning ourselves to build the first-of-a-kind power plant – there will be many in the future,” Tomás Díaz de la Rubia, vice president for Research and Partnerships at the University of Oklahoma, told the local paper.
“We’ll be the first one to develop and manufacture infrastructure that goes around the first-of-a-kind plant. It’s going to create thousands of jobs. It’s going to be a multibillion dollar project... I have no doubt, with our partners and others, to turn this scientific discovery into a successful fusion power plant that connects to the grid that generates power, it’s a game changer.”[/i]
