We do not need a new technology. Coal is wonderful and we have a thousand years of it. It works at night, in still, in calm, in clouds, and there is a 2 or 3 month supply of it at the plant.
Time to drop the green technology pipe dream and embrace reality. The global warming hoax is destructive. No subsidies for solar, wind, or organic lesbian hamsters spinning generator wheels.
The subsidies are difficult for legitimate operators to compete against.
On one hand cold gets unreasonable restrictions that raise their operating prices. And the green industry gets in with subsidies. When the Texas Energy System was run by capitalism the lights always stayed on.
Embrace the magic rocks of unlimited power.
I will agree that we should get rid of any and all green subsidies. The market should be able to compete effectively.
I will, however, disagree with your statement that the market was once run by capitalism, and the lights stayed on. Prior to market open in 2002, we had a rate regulated public utility system. This is not capitalism. It is, quite literally, fascism ... that is, government-controlled capitalism that mandates how capital is allocated and how capital investment is recovered.
Yup. I grew up in Nebraska and we had a coal furnace. Never had pipes break and all the kids knew how to stoke the furnace and carry out ashes. I don’t want to go back to that but it sounded good when we were freezing here in TX.
Agree 100%.
