“And renewables are not at all cheaper — they are horrendously subsidized.”
Would you happen to know to what extent nuclear power has been subsidized?
LOL. Just about the only thing that isn’t subsidized are people actually working for a living.
The point isn’t whether something is subsidized to get it going, but whether it requires continuing support to even be viable. Hydrocarbons and nukes could be done without subsidy (Whether they ever will be is a separate issue).
“Renewables” are only as renewable as the tax money flowing in.
