No, I was just wondering when you were going to come out with the boogiewoogie turbine 1.0 that will give all of us free energy.

I don't work in the energy sector but at this rate we won't get affordable clean energy in any of our lifetimes.

As long as people support the status quo things won't change even if it's in the best interest for the generations after us. Sadly there aren't enough forward thinking people in power right now. Let's keep burning that coal though. Maybe next we can move to piston driven steam powered engines.

Your complaining is highly effective. Start a petition at least or something.

You progs are good at petitions. Try organizing in the community.

So energy providers are making record profits because the government is making them use newer cleaner methods of energy production?

How do you explain the record profits? It would seem to me that the greed of the energy company doesn't want to pass on the benefit to the consumer.



What about non-profit electric cooperatives who serve some of the nation's poorest communities and are disproportionately reliant on coal, which is much cheaper than the next cheapest form of generation? Honestly, it's clear that your smug, know-it-all arse doesn't have the first clue about how your electricity is generated or how the prices are established.

Holy Bernie Sanders

Free energy for everyone
Free health care for everyone
Free college for everyone

Everyone has to eat to live so why not free food for everyone?

You little pimple heads have no idea how the world works.

read an interesting article about 10 years ago about the history of forests in the US. It said there are more trees in America today than there were prior to European settlement. We plant them.

Yeah. I remember the days they were bitching about everyone needing to conserve paper (grade schools, businesses, government sectors) because we were cutting down all the trees to make the paper.

I also remember when they were doing the same campaign of evil against the lumber industry.

But they finally had to quietly push that shite under the rug once it finally got out (despite the MSM, Hollywood, the left) that the entire paper/timber industry is self sufficient. In fact, they actually net an addition to the forest.

Reminds me of a an (in)famous bar owner in our small town...WWII Vet, hard core/cold blooded to the bone...but very considerate to friends and the kids who came in with Kin. Ate many oyster sandwiches on the house. Classic Redneck and avid hunter/notorious poacher. Friends cornered him in between making oyster sandwiches one night and asked him how he justified killing all the deer and leaving none for his Grandchildren to hunt? Took Vince about two seconds to say..."well, my Grandparents didn't leave me any buffalo...so I'm killing all the deer I can". The whole room erupted.

I have a good idea. This is why we need innovation.

Profit drives innovation and you don't change what is working until it isn't profitable any more.

Changing the electric grid of a nation isn't like going from flip phones to smart phones. I know you think it is that easy but it isn't.

Well successful companies usually innovate before then, because it's often too late to wait for something to longer become profitable. But I get your general point.

Yes, in baby steps to become more profitable as new technology is created. Not because radical regulations force a new business model.

This. And you don't end up fricking over the poor in the process.

"Trickle down" policy is the heart and soul of liberal ideology, you're just too brainwashed to see it.

Government hacks:
"Give us your money and good things will trickle down to you"

Liberal goobers:
"O.K. Makes sense to me"

Please explain to me how these polices are affecting the "poor". The last time I check energy companies were doing just fine.
