Germany already tried this and they had to go back to natural gas give me a break. Shutting down Coal plants without a viable solution will simply cause rolling blackouts across the entire grid people are not stupid. I have solar panels they’re 15 years old and they’re not putting out max efficiency and factor at 50% and wind up in a landfill another couple years leaking toxic chemicals into the ground so don’t give me this nonsense about switching over to green energy when it doesn’t exist yet put it in place first and then switch over don’t choke off of energy supplies. we are sitting on massive stores of natural gas it’s far cleaner than oil. There’s no reason to choke off our own energy production and buy it from foreign countries. People across the country are struggling to put food on the table and you guys thing here in Rhode Island it’s no different where are you going to put all the solar panels in Power Rhode Island in the middle of a blizzard. Think people be logical not emotion. There is no system in place you can’t just shut off 28% of energy in this country without a replacement

It appears that have a fundamental misunderstanding of both green energy and the English language.

Injured and typing with one hand give me a break. I see you’re from Rhode Island and are taking guitar lessons I’m in the band contraband duo I play lead acoustic guitar and sing played all over Rhode Island for the last 20 years. Private lessons might be a better way to go. I teach because it’s important to know what guitar player strengths are and weaknesses are to improve them. There are plenty of great guitar players who are teaching and in Rhode Island I would look at that. We can agree to disagree on energy. Biden is squashing energy production here in the United States. And that increases inflation and harms people in fixed-income.

Not really, the energy industry is not investing capital because they got burned pre Covid going into Covid. Remember how we were out pumping everyone? The Saudis weren’t backing down either. Huge world oil glut then shutdowns happened. They took a short term beating. In this past year they have been making record profits. Do you think there is any incentive for them to pump more? Drill more? Produce more? Basically put out more money which drives the price down. Everyone paints the red vs blue picture, but it’s rich vs poor, power vs powerless. You’ve watched too much right wing tv and viewed too many memes and are now one of the brainwashed. Read some oil industry bulletin boards, or some business related articles on oil industry to gain an actual real understanding.
