re: Biden wants to end use of fossil fuels but leads in Texas by 5 in the polls

The electric generating industry is one of, if not the most, regulated industries in the country, the government has been making it almost impossible to generate electricity for years now. Coal and natural gas are 2 of America’s most abundant natural resources and for years they were the only resources we had that could compete with Arab oil.
Foreign countries that are not allies of the US have recognized that and have funded much of the opposition that has been targeted toward the US power companies. When all the coal burners are gone, which will be soon, they’ll start closing all the older gas burners amd when they’re all closed, they’ll start targeting the newer, clean burning gas fired combined cycle plants until every supply of electrify that uses America’s most abundant fuel sources are gone.
When the happens, the wind and solar which depends on wind to blow and the sun to shine, will be the largest suppliers but have proven for years that they must have backup supply from power plants to take up the load when the wind isn’t blowing and sun isn’t shining. Those backup plants will at that time be closed. How many of us like it when it’s 98 outside and the A/C goes off due to a power outage? We need to learn to like it because that is where we are headed without sustainable constant electric supply.
