>> “That electricity has got to come from somewhere. It’s not going to come from solar farms and wind turbines,” he said. >Maybe not today. But in time, I see no reason why most of it can't come from renewable sources. If only a certain state near Kansas, say a "Cowboy" state, hadn't worked so hard to deny tax breaks to renewables that they readily gave to coal and gas. If only that policy hadn't so completely changed the economics of planned wind projects that the companies planning them hadn't canceled them, taking thousands of jobs away during the midst of a national recession and mini-bust. Then they could be selling wind energy to an EV factory in Kansas. Instead, it delayed the industry by a decade or more, and now easy customers like this have to push for coal production. More "we'll burn our grandchildren for warmth if it costs less right now" bullshit from Wyoming's landed wealthy. I love that place, but man, the people in it are a major reason I don't live there anymore.
