Solar is great but the bottleneck is on battery capacity to carry those noon hours into evening for peak usage. Last I checked we had plenty of lithium and are mostly held back on refinement.
Yes! And more importantly solar/wind are such an eyesore, ruining America's landscape! Coal is big and beautiful. We must have Coal plants in every city and American coal jobs. Solar and Wind are unhealthy! Wonder why the administration didn't outright make it a federal crime to use solar panels. /s
No silly. They just canceled the PERMIT for the project. The developers are welcome to resubmit seven separate applications in the future which will all be processed at snail’s pace and the arbitrarily canceled again.
Why can't we just build reactors. Solar requires a ton of physical acreage (sorry, it's just true), plus all the battery storage and transmission and so on. Of course this requires some byzantine "environmental review" (ironic). I just want us to build reactors. We are going to look back on the 20th century anti-nuclear crusade with such disdain, it's really really sad.
