People are sheep when it comes to this “green” energy push. It’s not about the environment at all. It’s about another transfer of wealth. The cost to the consumer vs the net benefit to the planet is folly. Also another thing that is poorly communicated, actually covered up, is the increased cost - either in increased utility bills, increased taxes, or both. The sad thing is that one of two things will happen:

  1. this will be rolled out so slow, that we’ll get the frog in the boiling water scenario where people won’t make a stink about increased cost, but suddenly we’ll turn around and energy prices will have doubled or more in 5 years, or
  2. we will go down this path to the point that there is just no going back, no matter the backlash. We’ll have thrown away a perfectly viable system to be forced onto a more expensive, less reliable, and (on the whole planet level) even less environmentally friendly one than we have now
