I know it's not what you want to hear, by it's that wind and solar don't make economic sense. Conservatives don't have an idealogical stake in energy so tend to look at it practically.
- panarky 6y ago"Economic sense" for who exactly? Wind costs 5 cents plus zero pollution per KWh. Coal costs 3 cents plus 2 kg of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and a shitload of particulate pollution per KWh. "Economic sense" for the owner of the coal power plant is one answer. "Economic sense" for whoever is paying medical bills and dying early is a different answer.
