Oh no!
The birds are rejoicing.
Balsa wood is needed for windmills. The Chinese harvest it by the thousands of acres in the rain forest. So there’s that. The propellers never decompose and they’re an eye sore around the country. And there’s that. Environmentalists are destroying the lungs of earth to save the environment.
Awesome!
Gee, Wally, if wind and solar are so great, why are electricity prices soaring?
“This is how you kill an industry,”
And who’s raking in bazillions from this industry?? Right- the Chicoms...
Wind farming is complete nonsense... A tax grabbing money scheme dreamt up by shysters and carnival barkers. As for solar panels... Building a new house? They make sense... Adding them to an existing facility and you’ll lose your shirt. Solar farms??? Same deal as wind farms... They’re a boondoggle.
Those of us who have a real education (as opposed to journalism and other simpleton degrees) see no problem with that.
Funny that the Democrats have been trying for years to kill off the coal oil and gas industries.
Are you saying that balsa doesn’t decompose?
You are entirely correct sir.
But Dems love taxes!!!
Win/Win
Great!
All forms of generation are subsidized- shift the money over to small distributed nuclear and thorium.
YOU LIE!!
“This is how you kill an industry,” said Bob Keefe, executive director of E2, a nonpartisan group of business leaders and investors.”
Good to get confirmation that the policy will have the desired outcome.
I agree 100%! The grid should be based on stable sources.
As for solar panels... Building a new house? They make sense... Adding them to an existing facility and you’ll lose your shirt.
It requires a ton of homework and not from people with a vested interest in selling to you. I added solar to my existing home 4 years ago, then added onto it a year later. To date it's saved my cash flow a total of $6,400, while paying down the loan I took out to buy the products and hire an installer. As well as other energy improvements to the home, as well as replacing my wife's gas crossover with an EV crossover (her car needed replacing anyway).
But you must do your own homework to make sure your climate and your power consumption habits are good for solar.
If you need a goobermint subsidy to function, then your business model was fatally flawed from the start.
If you need secret Chinese communications chips in your power system, then your electrical system was fatally flawed from the start.
