You mean it’s foolish to pin all our energy production on factors we can’t control, like whether the sun shines or the wind blows?

Do you have the audacity to say it’s smart to have dependable sources?

You will be excommunicated from The Church of Gaia and Central Authority.

Just so I’m clear, you are saying that oil(the price of which is determined by Saudi, Russia, Iran, and the rest of OPEC+) is reliable.

You think the big fusion reactor in the sky or the winds and tides are unreliable?

Such a silly statement. Why would we pay higher prices for fossil fuels when renewables are so much cheaper? Of course we won’t.

The summer grievance reruns have begun on Fox. Enjoy all the hits from the 1990s like "Renewable Energy Pollutes More Than Oil", and "Chicken is Making Our Children Gay".

But wait, there's MORE!

If you act now they'll throw in a bic lighter raising "Tax Cuts for the RIch Will Stimulate the Economy" and everyone's favorite "Real Men Love Jesus and Buy Multiple ARs"!

To be a conservative is an exercise in beta behavior and a proud and loyal demonstration of one's flaming ignorance in deference to authority.

Fake news. Solar doesn't need fully dedicated space, it repurposes rooftops, parking spaces, etc. Second, only a tiny fraction of the earth would need to be dedicated to solar in order to meet our global energy needs. Elemental power can exist in the footprint vacated by non-viable coal power plants. Appreciate the concern, but Elon has this all sorted out already.

I’m betting on the giant fusion source in the sky. Like Annie says, the sun will come out tomorrow. I agree that solar will need some supplementation with batteries, elemental, and other sources.

Not really. oPEC+ and Russia have used supply constraints as a weapon for decades. I’m betting on the reliability of the sun more so than Putin, the jerks in Iran, or the prince of KSA.

This entire premise is dead wrong. The sun is FAR more reliable than Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iran,etc. the US production has a marginal impact on global oil prices. OPEC has had the US economy by the balls by 50 years. Meanwhile the sun shines basically every day.

Solar prices drop every year, by a lot. Oil prices increase over time. Solar’s share grows every year. Coal’s viability drops every year. It is a supplement fuel, at best, as renewables share of energy production grows every year.
