@@AmonAnon-vw3hr That's literally a tactic used by the Soviets. Engineers were nonpolitical and just wanted to keep the utilities running, but the socialists in govt claimed that spending money, importing parts, shutting down for repairs, etc., was a deliberate act of wrecking the system as an attack on the regime. They then accused, arrested, prosecuted, and convicted those engineers for doing their job helping the people. Bureaucrats are weak and fearful. And like a dull blade is more dangerous because it is erratic and difficult to use, they are dangerous because they make bad and unpredictable decisions motivated by wanting to hurt people that frighten them.

Anyone who tries to quote the price of solar or wind is lying. Do not trust them. Solar panels & hardware may have a fixed cost to purchase. There may even be a fixed cost to install & maintain them. But the amount they produce, and thus the $/kWh cost of the electricity they produce, depends on where & how they are installed. If you install them in western NY, they will produce half the power as in southern CA, which means the electricity they produce is twice as expensive. Add to that the problems of what to do if there's overproduction, such as paying for battery backup, selling to the grid, etc., which increases the cost further. I live in a location that's pretty good for solar--not the best, but good. Solar would cost me ~$0.16/kWh over the life of the system before accounting for storage, etc. Installing a large system with backup in a location with improper seasonal or just bad solar potential can easily see real costs twice that. Can you afford spending over $0.30/kWh? Most people can't. And that's not a bug. It's a feature. This admin and other so-called 'environmentalists' want to make energy so expensive that you can't use it. And if you can't use it, then you can't emit. They claim it's to save the planet, but it's really just about keeping you down. A poor and starving population can't challenge who is in power.
