Much like the climate change alarmist predictions of disasters are always in the future, the green wall alarmists have the same predicament. Grid failures never occur. It would be better to stress how the green agenda is undermining our standard of living.
Big Oil should file a suit forcing the state to meet every single one of its legislated goals. Don’t let the greentards off the hook.

Those pesky laws of physics!
It seems to be true what you said about the laws of physics & thermodynamics being overridden by grandstanding morons, but stop & think about the types who seemingly are running the country right now.
Even the Left are coming around to nuclear power. The huge power requirements for AI data centers have pushed guys like Bill Gates to champion nuclear power.
Problem: The environmental and construction regulations governing the building of nuclear plants are so oppressive that it will take decades to build them.
Or Obama….
That’s where we’re headed unless we stop the quickly.
Stop them
Stopping it quickly is becoming more difficult with each graduation class, each one putting out molded climatons.
“The laws of Physics/Thermodynamic trump the laws passed by grandstanding morons every time.”
I took Thermo in college from a genuine card-carrying NASA scientist. He hated the idiot free energy nuts, what today we call The Greens. He had us work through every possible Green Scheme from electric cars to free air-conditioning from ground water. He had us make the most generous assumptions and then figure out the physics and the economics. Nothing, and I mean, nothing was more efficient and cleaner than the standard oil, coal and gas we were already using.
Right now, most of the Western world is facing a demographic suicide where fewer children are born. I think that directly relates to the cost of trying to do something that isn’t possible. People won’t have children if they can’t afford them.
Around here they are powered by 95% coal and oil...

Stupid is as stupid does.
The Net Zero move takes the population to zero, too.
The northeastern states were expecting to rely on Quebec hydropower, but there is not enough of it and people and groups will oppose the building of new dams.
“offshore wind off the coast of Long Island”
A check of the National Weather Service site will show that the offshore wind is too fickle in terms of volume and location.
It is the thought that matters.
Chinese EVs are cheap and available, but “100%” Joe recently placed massive tariffs on them to secure the UAW vote.
What about vehicle safety regulations? They could be waived by changing the law.
“Even the Left are coming around to nuclear power. The huge power requirements for AI data centers have pushed guys like Bill Gates to champion nuclear power.”
Some on the left came around long ago. Most leftists won’t budge.
