But it does not emit methane, which the mining of oil and gas does. Methane becomes formaldehyde, the provable cause of extinctions, and the flooding rains destroying so much. And we will not have to eat synthetic manmade food. All in favor, raise your hand.

You’ve only got one fossil fuel subsidy in here for context. What’s the total annual fossil fuel US subsidies? Look fishy to leave that out TBH…

I doubt that the cost would be that low- if we don’t come to our senses the cost will be in the Trillions

Thanks Robert, for the illuminating perspective of just how broken the political system is.

I'm working on it! A wind turbine power system that doesn't run on subsidies, that is. Seraph Power LLC intends to bring its patent-pending wind turbine to production in a battery and fuel-powered hybrid system that powers a household 24/7/365 at costs competitive with on-grid attachments. If it can't pay for itself, if it can't compete, it should go the way of the sail-powered automobile.

Meanwhile, we could replace every coal-burning plant in USA with Combined Cycle Gas Turbines for about one-third the price, keep electricity prices low, the economy humming, and lower carbon emissions even more.

Interesting - I see you used the photo of the Fighting Jays Solar facility destroyed by hail recently - checking on their corporate status with the Texas State Comptroller office their right to do business has been forfeited.

The cannot do business in Texas!

So what does this do for anyone dealing with them in Texas, who wants or needs payment?

Or their insurance status... lots of questions and only missing filings and reports or payments with the comptroller.

These LLC's are such a problem - bet they have collected their IRA ITC, I am sure, and probably their PTC's until the hail halted that!

Half a billion on unreliable energy that only produces a few hours per day.

Think how many closed-loop geothermal plants could have been built for that, providing heat and electricity 24x7 for 50+ years?
