There’s nothing left or right wing about preferring certain types of technologies.

Yes there is though. I am right wing. I prefer the cheapest simplest energy source as it lifts more people from

Poverty. Left wingers are ideologically wanting something that does not exist. They think by demanding it it can happen. Legislate it and it will happen. Nope, that isn’t the way technology advances.

I don’t feel you understand the technologies here. Solar and wind are cheap and getting cheaper. Even Texas is getting in on that game.

I build things. I have to stay practical. There is no way to do what they want to do. perhaps with nuclear backup. But why have wind and solar at all if you go nuclear.

And you aren’t keeping up. Wind and solar cannot account for cloudy windless days without an immediate backup. Add AI, add net zero? Practically, without massive amounts of additional electric power this is all a dream. On a cloudy windless day you can build a gajillion potential megawatts of solar and wind power and you still have none. Ramping up won’t help.

AI alone demolishes the grid.
