1 day agoYup. It’s shitty that Americans don’t get help and the government is actively making it worse. Unfortunately it’s the reality. So unless it hurts, people are not going to change or scream loud enough at their inbred redneck senator to change it.
Good to know all the sacrifices people have made to move away from this in day to day lives… only to find that literally 3 dozen companies are doing far more damage than we could ever make up for.
I get it about the energy, so renewable and nuclear should be used more and more and more.
My last comment here would be that we don’t have good energy storage for these off peak times, that we could use to keep the grid stable without having to resort always to burning fossil fuels to make up the slack. There’s a way to have our cake and eat it too, but we really need to make concerted efforts in energy storage. I feel like this has been neglected too much when we discuss renewables and future energy. Energy storage is paramount to this.
There are some great concepts and even new hot stuff, but, nothing widespread 🥲
