        Oh, but woe is us, what will happen to the renewables when there’s like a slight breeze or the sun goes down for 5 minutes? Mass power outages all around the world! It will be a DISASTER!!!

        Surely the only form of reliable energy we have are fossil fuels. Burn that coal and pump that oil baby!

        I grew up in DFW and moved away in 2004. It was fine before then, but they let it go to hell by not keeping up with maintenance and repairs. So now it’s a shitty grid. :| Thanks, Republicans.

    Yeah, this appears to be entirely a product of the masaive spending on pro-fossil fuel propaganda seeping through Republican media channels.

    The fossil fuel industry is one of the big sources of financial and propaganda support for global fascism. The more we implement renewables, the more we strangle the fasc.

    I’ve noticed in Australia that when we have a conservative climate denying government people’s opinions shift in that direction. When we have a more balanced government the opinion shifts to being active on climate issues. Media has a lot to do with it however, leadership seems to be a big factor. It’s obvious that the government’s messaging is important. Trump’s relentless banging on about climate hoax etc will sway people who are not well grounded in the issues.

    No, everyone says big oil can go fuck itself and they’re all investing in renewables (apart from the complete idiots, of course)
