[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5644306, member: 24302"] You need to investigate a bit further. Germany invested heavily in wind and solar but when their natural gas got cut off from Russia at the start of the Ukrainian war they had to scramble to reopen coal mines because their wind and solar was woefully insufficient. Why? They aren't a sunny country and they don't get much wind. Absolutely solar in especially the U.S. Southwest is a good idea. There's a reason that windmill farms have been put up in the Midwest down to Texas. But in no way is our current wind and solar capacity sufficient to meet the needs of the entire country and that's without even discussing EV needs. You need to stop listening to the extreme fanatics who tell you it's no big deal, throw up a few more windmills and solar panels. The U.S. Northeast is the most crowded area of the country and they do not get sufficient sun and wind. Not even close. And yes I lived in Connecticut for a year. [/QUOTE]
