3. Your hatred for renewable energy shows

The worldwide shutdown/slowdown of economic activity this year didn't stop the increase in CO2 at Mauna Loa. Doesn't that tell you something?

Renewables are about 15% of US electrical production. Where would we be without that 15%?

All that money already spent has gotten wind and solar down significantly in price, where they are cheaper than fossil fuels - especially coal. Every hour that a utility uses electricity from wind and solar drives up the price of coal and nat gas which leads to further investment in wind and solar.

Things are going to change drastically with a Biden admin.
