To: Tell It Right

If solar power is so great I wonder why the utilities don’t use it. Instead they use gas or coal. I guess they don’t know much about generating electricity economically.

You and I think a lot alike. Fossil fuels are vastly superior to solar. The problem is that both state and federal regulations limit use of fossil fuels, including for power utilities. Obama shut down a lot of coal powered plants. California told their power utilities no new plants using fossil fuels, even with the increase in population and power demand. Brandon makes natural gas hard to come by. If it wasn’t for those kind of government restrictions, fossil fuels would be way better.

The only thing solar brings to the table is the government has yet to figure out how to get between the sun and the solar panels on my roof.
