Right on lashing -- they throw out this term "clean energy" as all encompassing whether it is a practical mode of energy or not. As was stated on TV earlier the move to such things as solar and windmills was started in the 1990's probably as a response to Al Gore's first "ten year forecast" for the world to self destruct due to "global
warming". A federal process was put in place to heavily subsidize the construction of facilities such as windmills and solar fields. This was to be a short term subsidy until the "clean industry" could establish itself. Now some 30 years later the Federal Government is still paying out millions, if not billions, in these subsidies -- which never gets publically discussed.
It did not take the environmentalists long to realize the "warming" story was not going to hold water so they quickly changed it to "climate change" and found that that term could be all-encompassing. Any extreme weather patterns (which we have experienced for hundreds of years by the way) can now be lumped into the category. You will notice Beto O'Rourke, the Spanish Irishman from Texas has already been on the news today spouting that theory. It is the green house gases causing climate change that has caused this dramatic cold snap in the nation. Not that it hasn't happened before -- before there was even measureable green house gases. Before the term was even part of our vocabulary.
But they will keep wasting money building all this so called "clean" infrastructure without recognizing how big a blight it is on the environment but living their "dream".
There can be and will be much better forms of clean energy developed over the years if it is approached in a sane common sense logical manner and not through poorly planned fear mongering.
Texas has built about 20% of their grid in this so called clean energy concept (heavily subsidized) and apparently very little thought into how well it would function in times of extreme weather -- and now they are getting their eyes opened. Surprise - it can get cold!
It's called 'live and learn' and apparently a lot more people have to go through that.
