Perhaps they should wait until next Spring to see how this all works out in Europe, and especially in Germany, over the Winter of 2022/23. That will give them a better idea of what happens you are totally dependent on “renewable sources”.
Scott, there will always be something on the horizon that argues for a delay in taking action. But, as they old saying goes, “need is the mother of invention.” I have little doubt that Germany will invent a solution to meet their need for energy, hopefully one that produces less carbon emissions and particulate matter typically resulting from fossil fuels.
In the U.S., not only is wind and solar increasingly claiming a larger share of the electricity-producing market, but hydrogen fuel generation is the next big bet as a green power source.
In short, if coal and gas were clean energy sources, none of the above new technologies would exist. But because they are, the race to refine and invent new technologies will meet our needs sooner than you think.
Amen to Brent’s comment. The US and Indiana cannot wait for “someone else” to try alternative energy sources. Take action or get left behind (increased pollution and decrease of prospering jobs).
For a state that is courting businesses to move to Indiana, Representative Soliday is not very inviting. Almost sounds like he wants to send them next door to Illinois. With Indiana’s poor air quality, they may
not want to move here with lack of state support for renewable energy, clean air and clean streams.
I can’t tell you how shockingly misinformed the comments section is on renewables. The only safe and viable alternative energy source is nuclear. Hydrogen is joke, EV material sourcing (mining cobalt) is more polluting than coal by 5 fold, solar is not even close to being appropriate for base load electricity power generation. Indiana will be left holding the bag on these sham investments
