    I’m not sure you are aware of this, but State College PA, is in Pennsylvania. There is no possible scenario where windmills and sunshine could power our town on a cold windless February after an ice storm. AND if they are so cheap why are they so expensive? If, in fact renewables were economically viable the private sector, not the government, would be pouring money into them.

    No, I am into real estate now. My years of high risk, high reward are behind me now. I have a family to consider.

    Last year I predicted that Tesla would go bankrupt within five years. Looks like I may have been too generous.

    If ad hominem is the only card you have, I suppose you have to play it......sad, I expected more from you. Oh BTW, looks like the “collective” miscalculated the age of the universe by about a billion years.

    Bill, you seem to have two different positions that are at odds. Position #1 Renewables are ready to go! You provide several examples to support that notion and have even quarreled with me on this very thread when I suggested otherwise. Position #2 Renewables are NOT ready for prime time and we urgently need to develop them before the cheep oil runs out. To quote you; "Think about how much it will suck when we run out without alternatives ready to go." You mentioned cognitive dissonance, I can not think of a better example.

    Speaking of cognitive dissonance; the whole OMG running out of oil, destroying the planet, what about the cute fuzzy bears narrative is promulgated by your side. I’m just laughing at it. I don’t think AOC is a threat. I think she and her wacky ideas are an albatross that will be hung around the neck of every Democrat in the next election.

    Are you kidding me!?!? ONE turtle gets a plastic straw stuck in its nose and half of the country goes batshit crazy and starts banning plastic straws. It is politics and fear that drive the whole AGW debate. ”OMG! We are running out of oil while we are destroying the planet! We have to do something! Think about the cute fuzzy polar bears”

    According to AOC, any consideration of cost is stupid

    Yes I agree, we are now the largest oil and gas producer in the world. USA! USA! USA!

    Only in the West, globally coal is still king. Don’t get me wrong, I prefer NG to coal any day, but the developing world prefers coal

    Yep, I’m just waiting for Tesla’s sales to skyrocket once subsidies end next year. With regard to fossil fuel plants.....new ones are being built faster than older ones are being decommissioned. https://www.carbonbrief.org/mapped-worlds-coal-power-plants

    Why are you such a denier? https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2019/03/26/energy-consumption-increased-at-a-record-rate-in-2018 the reality is that we have never used more fossil fuel. Renewables are just not keeping pace with a growing global economy.

    Funny how that doesn’t translate into the real world, besides I will keep my $22 MWHR natural gas for the next hundred years

    Germany chose wind and solar France chose Nuclear who has the cheapest energy? France! Case closed
  19. brenthutch
    Not nearly as much as we need fossil fuels
  20. brenthutch
    Did you even watch the TED talk? Pay attention to the last two minutes. It is possible to believe in AGW and be against large scale wind and solar. Have you ever heard of nuclear power?

    Ted talk
  22. brenthutch
    Obviously you did not watch the video.
  23. brenthutch
    At no point does the speaker defend fossil fuels. It would appear that you are confused.
  24. brenthutch
    Watch the video before you opine. He addressed that very issue. My favorite quote, “cats don’t eat eagles, eagles eat cats.” I also liked “now that we know renewables cannot save the planet, will we continue to let them destroy it.” BTW it is NOT a denier video. At no time does he even question AGW. Please watch the entire video and try to refrain from name calling.

    Agreed https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/green-new-deal-divides-democrats-intent-on-addressing-climate-change/2018/12/27/c3b6a144-02d5-11e9-b5df-5d3874f1ac36_story.html
