“Putting the theory of customers willing to pay more in order to save the planet to the test”
The theory has been tested long ago and it systematically fails.
BTW, paying more has never “saved the planet” or the environment or the climate or whatsoever, it’s a big lie, it just make us poorer.
Almost as if a changing climate is the normal climate on a planet dominated by water. Funny that.
Driving through piles of snow with eco-conscious Prius or Tesla must be a joy ride for the gangGreen.
Imagine them strandled in the dark and cold and rescued by a yuuge fossil-fuel devouring, CO2 spewing, polar bear killing, climate wrecking 4WD, the irony.
We have a bunch of farm fields taken over by solar panels around here. They are all covered by over a foot of snow and have been for weeks. That’s ok as there are very few productive solar days in January in Vermont. We need to stop subsidizing this idiocy.
I’ve said before, here; that natural gas electric generation has its own risks.
Supply disruption.
With other thermal forms of generation there is ample on site fuel storage that buffer events like polar air masses.
Thank God Trump shut this lunacy down before it froze the entire country. Here in Kentucky it’s -2 and there’s plenty of reasonably price electricity to keep me warm (there 8 coal fired plants within 50 miles of me). Why doesn’t New England just put more gas pipelines in? Their rat legislatures should just mandate solar only heating in Massachusetts and New York.
It’s getting extreme what, exactly?
This storm is not unprecedented.
I was speaking satirically. “Extreme weather” seems to be the touchstone of “climate change” these days.
I guess I am ...

The sarcasm tag “/s” would have prevented confusion re: your comments. I was hoping you were being sarcastic. Apparently it was even more unclear to others. Never underestimate the ability of a post to be misunderstood, as nothing is every completely obvious to everyone. I have learned this through many years of lurking and watching.
Everything is “extreme” to the liberals to the point where it’s lost its meaning.
