> I get extremely irritated when folks fail to understand that demand is for energy, our energy distribution is interconnected via a grid, and those points make energy a fungible commodity. And I get irritated when people don't understand basic economic concepts like supply and demand. Texas is overwhelmingly building renewables to meet demand. The more demand there is for energy the more renewables get built, further driving down costs. It's a virtuous cycle. > Better than powering recycling plants, though, is to stop producing and consuming single-use plastics. A great way to do this is to stop subsidizing recycling programs and bake the energy cost into the product that must eventually be recycled.

In fact it does the opposite because it makes people feel helpless, which only benefits incumbents.
