Shunning indefinitely renewable energy that literally gets dumped from the sky in favor of shit that we need to dig out from underground results in higher costs? Who would have thought?

You would expect more from a guy who’s uncle was an expert in doing the nuclear

Meh, to be fair his uncle had an education and wasn't a narcissistic sociopath.

You can't educate an idiot. Which is why Trump is popular with half of the dropout, GED stupid fucks in this country.

Hey, I dropped out in 10th grade, got a GED 2 weeks later, started college at Case Western Reserve University because I whizzed their exams and scored in the top. Dropped out after a semester and immediately started working in Tech, and went on to make more than most people will ever see in their life. Also have several patents that have withstood challenges, etc….
We don’t all drop out because we’re stupid, but sometimes the education system doesn’t do well, especially with ADHD /Autism, that’s me.

But we all don't vote for Trump either.

As planned so the parasites can profit. So disgusting

our entire money system is built around mineral rights. the coal and oil companies deployed fascism so we have to focus all our energy to not dying today so they can kill us tomorrow. now they're artificially blocking efforts to ensure this planet can be survivable. they'd trash the entire planet to be a little richer than they are now

If we can't take the money away from them then we need to take them away from the money. And no, I don't mean prison.

They all have assets that have to exist on Earth somewhere.

There's massive problems with harming adoption of renewables, and increase in energy prices is not one of them

Unless the public is going to do anything about it, the prices will continue to go up. Boiling frog conundrum.
