>> Of course I can............windmills and solar panels mean cleaner air. Why would any sane person not want cleaner air?

Cleaner air is great; but I don't want it at the expense of some people not being able to pay their electricity bills. Why would any sane person want poor people to be without electricity?

These so-called "renewables" cannot be relied upon to produce electricity on a consistent basis which means you still have to have other facilities. They are far too expensive (some of us remember Obama promising skyrocketing utility bills).

These so-called renewables come with environmental problems of their own. And most importantly, there is no evidence to suggest they have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with your weather.

So, you may think it is cool to rely on windmills and solar panels but you're cutting off access to electricity to people who need it and creating more environmental problems you don't know anything about and creating inherent weak links in the process. All for nothing other than being the cool people on the block.

We call that stupid.
