Bentway, we have enough wind and solar available to power the entire country. No we don't. That study you provided claims that we can develop 34 GW of solar, wind, and geothermal power generation on western public lands over the next 20 years. But that's roughly half to 2/3 of California's current generation capacity, which in turn doesn't even satisfy California's demand for electricity, much less that of the entire western U.S. (CA roughly imports about 20% of its electricity.) And that's just counting electricity. When you add the energy that we burn from fossil fuels for transportation, heating, etc., the demand for energy far exceeds what can be met with just solar, wind, and geothermal. Come on Chris, start doing the math and stop acting like a fscking partisan moron. Tenchusatsu
