...if one likes living in the dark because during an extreme heat wave because reliable power plants can't cover their O&M experiences because of clowns involved in selective attention, this is fine, I guess.

I'm not a fan of selective attention however. I tracked cost of energy when the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining.

Some people experienced energy poverty because power couldn't be obtained at any price.

Because the fans of this crap don't give a rat's ass about climate change, extreme heat will be killing people in vast numbers when the wind isn't blowing.

We're over 424 ppm of the dangerous fossil fuel waste and we still have these clown shows.

It's disgusting.
