Exactly. And it almost universally gets called when they’ve run out of anything meaningful to add to the conversation because they’ve never even begun to look into the topic.

Affordable, Reliable, Clean Scorecard: Natural Gas Is Tops, Wind And Solar Are The Worst Affordable, Reliable, Clean Scorecard: Natural Gas Is Tops, Wind And Solar Are The Worst https://realclearwire.com/articles/2025/04/22/affordable_reliable_clean_scorecard_natural_gas_is_tops_wind_and_solar_are_the_worst_1105680.html , Policymakers on both sides of the political aisle increasingly advocate for affordable, reliable, and clean energy. This is for good reason – modern society requires energy that is affordable and available on demand. Environmental concerns are also very important. Together, affordability, reliability, and cleanliness form the three pillars of ideal energy policy. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/ChatGPT%20Image%20Apr%2023%2C%202025%2C%2003_47_21%20PMa.jpg?itok=Ya_fAJyG Two new analyses evaluate competing electrical power sources and produce an affordable, reliable, and clean scorecard. The two analyses – one published by https://www.mackinac.org/s2024-09 – independently reach near-identical findings. Both analyses find natural gas is the most affordable, reliable, and clean electrical power source. Not far behind natural gas are nuclear, hydro, and coal. Lagging at the bottom of the affordability scorecard are wind and solar power. Natural gas is easily the lowest-cost electrical power source, with coal the second-most affordable. Natural gas also scores very high for reliable high-volume power production, as do nuclear and coal. Despite some claims that wind and solar are less expensive than conventional power, the opposite is true. Wind and solar benefit from far more subsidies than other power sources, which merely shift their high costs to taxpayers rather than directly to customers’ electricity bills. Also, the intermittent and often unpredictable nature of wind and solar power impose substantial costs on the grid, requiring other power sources to frequently ramp up and down – quite inefficiently – to cover for the variability of wind and solar. Finally, wind turbines and solar panels must often be built far from population centers, requiring extensive and expensive networks of transmission wires to deliver power to customers. Taking all the above factors into account, a peer-reviewed analysis of full-system levelized costs of competing power sources shows wind power is seven times more expensive than natural gas power and solar power is 10 times more expensive. That explains why most of the world – and nearly all the developing world – is building natural gas, coal, and nuclear power plants rather than wind and solar power facilities. Perhaps the most noteworthy findings of the two independent analyses are the poor environmental performance of wind and solar power. Wind and solar, like hydro and nuclear, are emissions-free. However, wind and solar score quite poorly regarding many other important environmental factors. Wind and solar require disrupting and developing far more land and ecosystems than other power sources. Wind and solar generation directly kill far more animals than other power sources, including many protected and endangered species. The mining of toxic and rare earth minerals for wind turbines and solar panels is enormously and uniquely harmful to water and soil health. Earlier this month, President Trump signed an executive order noting the affordability and abundance of coal and removing obstacles to coal production and utilization. The two new analyses support the Trump administration’s energy policies, which emphasizes increased domestic production of oil, natural gas, and coal. At the same time, the two analyses support similar action to remove obstacles to nuclear power, hydro power, and – especially – natural gas. Don’t expect the big utilities to necessarily support natural gas and other affordable, reliable, and clean power sources. Utilities typically operate under a government-protected monopoly such that they don’t need to produce affordable power to gain an edge over competitors. Also, governments typically guarantee utilities approximately 10% profit on so-called green power projects and expenditures. As a result, utilities typically lobby for the most expensive power sources to boost their total profit. For consumers and grid integrity, however, natural gas is the gold standard for affordable, reliable, and clean electricity generation. Nuclear, hydro, and coal are not too far behind.

That’s good to hear. We have been worried about you j.

With a cat? 😬

You love to see it.

Good morning #Nostr Rise and shine—today’s a fresh new start full of potential. Let’s make it a great one! #siamstr #music #zap #bitcoin #grownostr

I think so.

their response rubs me the wrong way. if they dont KYC, i would have expected a simple “we dont KYC”. not this little bitch boy response. now im motivated to find out and drag their little bitch asses if they are lying. 🤥

You should consider using Amber to keep your key safe.

Don’t forget John hurt. He is excellent in it. When he says broheim it makes me laugh. 😂

people who use the word misinformation unironically are retarded.

thanks for all the kind advice guys. turning a page on this finally. for others in a similar boat now or in the future, things that have helped me process betrayal/anger: 1) the serenity prayer, observed twice daily 2) cold showers 3) 5km runs listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd - Street Survivors 4) DMT 5) friends who can keep a secret and don’t give a fuck about the law nostr:nevent1qqstj8uavzsrcfwz3dwy96qupt5e7p3xkmnmydxj6c8jp6guxq6788cppemhxue69uh5qmn0wvhxcmmvem9q0m

It’s under $CEP right now until the deal is done

i can look at my timeline and tell which notes were written on a phone or a laptop. the phone notes have retarded autocorrect word substitutions, and the laptop notes have more misspelled words 😛

discerning where you in on a timeline is critical for knowing what the truth is. there are times when an establishment will be more trustworthy than the people. there are times when the establishment has become completely corrupted and cant be trusted. understanding where you are on that cycling timeline determines your ability to read your surroundings and understanding what is happening. trust an establishment or trusting anti-establishment will lead you astray if your timing is wrong.
