Reminder: It's not just snow and ice that render solar and wind power useless
02/19/2021

Solar and wind farms after Hurricanes Irma and María, 2017. I spent 10 + 40 days without power, and I was one of the first ones to get it back.

And even after almost a year without power for many, the enviros insist on blocking NATURAL gas power plants here.

I once had pie with four and twenty blackbirds baked in it.

Such a beautiful place. Why do they keep leaving if it’s so great there?

Even more fundamental is that the technology is no where’s near enough to meet demand and another symptom of that is that the cost exceeds that of fossil fuels, when you account for maintenance of the equipment, repairs, replacements, etc.,.

Not to mention the dreaded subsidies keeping green only minimally competitive. The negatives outweigh the positives by a ton. Difficult to follow logic that attempts to inject so called renewables into the equation of what for greens is a go to word, SUSTAINABLE energy produced by so called FOSSIL FUELS Hydro electric and Nuclear energy. Once again one has to follow the money. NEW money thrown into the renewable rat hole. Crazy people trying to run a country with less sense than got gave rats.

That we that is us better get real tired of this manure before we get sucked down the rat hole with the money.

It’s just revolving door migration. Because they can. I personally split time between Florida and Puerto Rico.

They want people without utilities. They are just all about lining their pockets and putting coal miners and natural gas workers, etc. out of work/out of business, etc.

They also want to make all people dependent on HARD TO GET AND MAINTAIN ETC./EXPENSIVE things for solar and wind creation/upkeep, etc. instead of EASIER TO GET/CHEAPER/MORE EFFECTIVE AND RELIABLE coal and natural gas, etc.

Do you have any pictures of a natural gas or coal power plant hit by 155mph winds?

I’m hearing from others who have visited PR that it’s a haven for rampant crime and corruption. I haven’t ever been there so can’t say, but will have to trust my fellow FReepers. The only places that are nice are the private beaches. So your beautiful photo must be from one of those.

I’ll take the white sand and turquoise water in the Florida Panhandle any day of the week. Wish I could be there right now. One day. One day.
