Imagine all those natural gas power plants operating at 95% energy efficiency. Now imagine all those natural gas power plants, including their construction putting into the atmosphere less emissions than what it takes to construct a solar or wind farm of the same capacity.
What if the ROI on the natural gas power plant over its life was a fraction of that of either of the “renewable” power plants.
Solar or wind power can only produce electrical power when the conditions are right. power only.
A natural gas power plant can besides producing electricity, provide hundreds of new full time jobs associated with the power plant, in the same county. America needs food. That same association without emissions will produce tons of food daily.
Let’s get smart at how we produce our electricity.
The biden- harris administration hurts business and commerce, their only experience is influence peddling and screwing taxpayers, or in one case the boss.
Wind and solar are pipe dreams, gobbling up unbelievable land area and destroying marine life, killing thousands of magnificent raptors all over the world, migratory birds and bats in at least the hundreds of thousands and insect populations in the millions. Disposal of both wind and solar farms will create enormous, almost insurmountable problems for farmers, town, city, county, state and federal authorities well after the current "green" hysteria has faded.
Gas power, while plentiful, is subject to pipeline approval (not approved in many instances, starting with the keystone XL) and to natural disasters and sabotage. Clean coal (yes there are clean coal generation plants out there...) are the ultimate security blanket, with months of supply on hand and, despite low conversion efficiency (far better than renewables) provide 24/7/365 electric power for 20+ years.
Nuclear is nigh impossible without throwing out many restrictive regulations imposed by anti nuclear NGO's and Nuclear Government Regulators. China and India are building Nuclear Reactors in 1/3 the time we do, IF we get approval!
Brownouts and blackouts are inevitable. Even Texas almost destroyed their economy through greed. The millions and billions in Renewable subsidies where too much for Abbot and the Texas Congress to ignore. Just one example of States, Utilities, Countries and the UN rolling in billionaires graft.
I remember when the Marcellus and Utica Shales were the hot topic of the early 2010s. There was said to be enough natural gas to power the country for the next few hundred years or more; WV, my home, is rich in it. I’d be willing to bet we have far more natural gas and energy resources than we are said to have, just like there is more coal in this area than the grifters and far-left want people to believe.
Plus, while natural gas is not only plentiful, it will take far less time to build and commission a natural gas electric generating plant than it would a nuclear plant; the amount of regulations for nuclear energy is beyond absurd in my opinion.

You nailed it, sir. TMI should have never been closed, just like the new Vogtle generation plant shouldn’t have cost the billions that it did to build and commission.
