    What? No, that makes no sense.

    Why would renewables be that expensive?

    The electricity grid should absolutely be replaced ASAP. Old homes with ancient gas, coal, and oil heating will also need more modern alternatives like geothermal, heat pumps, or even direct electric heating.

    Not literally every single thing needs to be replaced today.

    It will take time but we should ramp it way up.

      You’re ignoring my statement when you say “not everything needs to change today”.

      When subsidizing switches from oil to renewables (this is what stop oil wants) there is no gradual transition because oil will be too expensive. If that happens I can’t afford heating or transportation unless I replace those with electric, which I can’t afford either.
