Have to wonder how this will effect the EV aficionados

If the article is correct, the way to make wind and solar cost effective has been decided,,,,, raise the cost of coal and natural gas tenfold.
energy article.


Plugging in will cost more and the govt will still try to force you to use more.
And since all goods and services rely on transportation to move their supplies to your demand, we get the added joy of a nice inflation bounce to cover the added cost to everything else.

    Those that want the GND should have already unplugged from any and all sources of energy that have any environmental impact. Hint..... there are none, but unplug anyway.
  • Should I find a sarcasm font for the seditious part?
    The point of the OP was to promote a falsehood.
    There by stirring dissention
    thereby spreading misinformation
    thereby developing a cult
    resulting in January 6th!

    Yep, the problem with science is that one can cherry pick the data needed to support their view.
    At my age I have seen the all the great new Eco friendly ways to create electricity.

    Hydro was the big idea in the 30's to 50's, clean and reliable, created lakes for recreation, BUT without fish ladders killed off fish.

    50's to 70's it was Nukes, Clean and safe, then came Three Mile Island, and the issue of storage of the spent fuel.

    70's to 2000's cleaner fossil fuels, more efficient ways of burning coal, oil and natural gas.

    2000's to present, wind and solar, we are faced with ugly fields of solar arrays and wind generation farms. Wind is have unexpected issues with the blades breaking down faster then expected, solar has the issue of disposing of old panels.

    You petroleum fetishists need not worry. There will be use for your poison in one form or another for centuries to come.
    I understand some one having questions about energy sources going forward, but there is NO reason for me to even attempt to understand why anyone would try to not only resist but to actively discourage development and actually put down another energy source. Seems absolutely short sighted and idiotic to me!
    Maybe even seditious!
