Every ridiculous subsidized dollar that is going into wind and solar should be going to build nuclear and natural gas generated plants.

Solar and wind are UNRELIABLE, and INCAPABLE OF MEETING the energy demands of our economy.


You realize all 6 of the plants that went offline were natural gas plants? But tell me more about renewables.

Wind actually overproduced from COP today and solar was right on the money. But that’s not going to stop a bunch of people who have no clue what they’re talking about from saying stupid shite they see on Facebook or just expressing uneducated opinions.

Are you saying that wind and solar are inherently more capable, in all varying conditions, of powering the grid at a more reliable rate?

Here’s the “more” that I’ll say about “renewables”. Notice that I advocated for investment in nuclear and natural gas.

If more focus (and money) was on natural gas and not on wind and solar, perhaps those plants could be better maintained.

None of your snark changes the FACT that wind and solar remain unreliable, inconsistent, too expensive, and a DRAIN on energy production resources.

ETA: AND don’t forget the FACT that wind and solar are worse for the environment than natural gas.
