It's near common knowledge that the rats favorite energy,wind and solar, can't even shore up 20% of our energy needs and that's over the next 10 years from all the stuff that I have read over the past month.

Even the head of Cal-ISO (the California energy regulatory agency) has said that wind power is unreliable and is generated when it is needed the least (at night). We need gas turbine power plants here to back up the wind power turbines. How worthless is that?
