“ while their replacement with “renewables” like wind and solar lags”

What is meant by “lags”?

As far as I know, no one has ever said or believes that “renewables” can replace conventional power generation.

“Lags” implies that eventually what is impossible will become possible, right? Who except excited grade school teachers believes that?

The best numbers I’ve seen was W&S is about 10%.
Which I don’t believe even other people’s $$$ being pumped into it.
Before massive government interfere wind and solar was 2 or 3%.

Elon Musk has in the last few days become the gas station for all electric cars. All EV makers that matter have converted to the TESLA stasndard

He will come up with the small nuclear generator plants and sell power to the grid and tap into it all over the country.

Tesla will or is, becoming a vertically integrated electric company

If you ask one of their drones they say the grid is fine and will expand as needed.

Yup. They are that stupid.

The average Greenie Beanie wants things to work by magic. Their thinking goes no deeper then this “ Put a electrical socket in a wall and out comes electrical power!”.

And when we run out of money we can print more. I read that the USA went over 1 trillion in credit card debt....

My grandparents knew that shooting craps does not provide a reliable income.

These geniuses have no clue about actions and consequences.

How do they even make it through the day?

They are planning on putting charging units under all roads.

So EVs would be charged while driving.

Should take about 15 years and cost about $12.5 Trillion.

Plus it takes massive fossil fuels to MAKE the EVs AND the batteries.

AND to make windmills.

Cannot be made w/o FF!

Prolly solar panels too.

where they’re often produced by child or slave labor.

Democrats: "Not that there is anything wrong with that. We loved having slaves. And look forward to having them again."
