Liberals will never drop unrealistic expectations of renewables.
Basically.
When liberals and progressives gain power.
You will freeze hungry in the dark.
Unless part of the anointed 1% overlords
Liberals will never understand reality. When they do, they cease being liberals.
Actually 17% is a lot more than I would have guessed. I suspect that “other renewables” includes hydro. Wind and solar are probably about 1% together.
Why do the liberals oppose nuclear? Nuclear does not produce any of the dreaded green house gases.
Ping.
I live in Georgetown, TX. Full renewables. And now fully screwed:
Georgetown officials will try to renegotiate the city’s renewable energy contracts and find other cost cuts after a late-summer drop in energy market prices lost the city’s utility $6.84 million.
What ever happened to the Thorium reactor enthusiasm?
I seriously doubt that it's that high.
This is why they don’t teach math in school anymore - to keep the commie’s useful idiots useful.
I’ve told many a dummy that green bs can only meet 10-20% of the demand. Blank stares of mathematical incomprehension.
But see what happens when a power outage extends beyond 24 hours.
Imagine only having power 3-6 days a month.
Sensible people would take a look at how that worked out for Spain when they tried going 100% green. Then again, no one has ever accused the libtards of being sensible.
Our electric company keeps promising to use nothing but wind energy in the near future, and that it will be cheaper. Yeah, right.

“Liberals will never drop unrealistic expectations of renewables.”
There is a simple, safe, and cost-effective solution. Nuclear power.
Coal power is undesirable. Coal has a huge impact on the environment, and on people’s health. “Clean coal” is an oxymoron, and is likely unachievable without excessive cost.
All coal generation should be replaced with nuclear, and then nuclear should be built out as the sole means of increasing baseline grid capacity.
Next-gen nuclear from ThorCon and other innovators addresses all the shortcomings of Gen IV designs, including removing the necessity for water cooling - while providing electricity for less than ten cents per KWH.
Nuclear power is the win/win/win that could take one contentious issue, climate change, off the table. In fact, lowering CO2 emissions worldwide can’t happen without a massive nuclear power buildout. The climate alarmists aren’t serious unless they admit this obvious fact - and so far that isn’t happening.
