--- Quote from: patton360 on January 17, 2017, 04:26:40 PM ---i am from a part of texas where the energy business is one of the biggest employers as well as a republican, and frankly, if you're a power company, why would you not invest in renewable energy? it's cheaper and infinite. you have less dependency on opec and no needed exploration costs. --- End quote --- Renewable energy is only so cheap because of massive government subsidies. That, and in terms of efficiency, there's absolutely no way you're competing with natural gas and oil. Believe me, I'm conservative too and I'd like to see a switch to renewable energy as well. First, though, there needs to be enough R&D in that field to develop renewable sources that surpass oil and natural gas in both cost and output. |
