@professionalbigot69 @Shadowman311 @SrbijaStronk @matty We're still a major natural gas producer so electricity will be fine.

@NotImportant
it's just shifting fossil-based energy production elsewhere
while using more environmentally/economically unsustainable materials
just grifting in the name of fatter wallets

@professionalbigot69 @NotImportant @Shadowman311 @SrbijaStronk @matty EVERY METHOD OF ENERGY PRODUCTION THAT ISNT NUCLEAR OR CONVENTIONAL OIL IS DONE AT A NET ENERGY LOSS WITHIN OUR PRESENT GRID FRAMEWORK
WINDMILLS AND WATERWHEELS AND PARABOLIC MIRROR BOILERS C O U L D PROVIDE NET ENERGY OUTPUT, BUT NOT IN THE CURRENT WAY OF DOING THINGS
WE'VE USED THE BOUNTY OF EXTREMELY CHEAP AND PORTABLE ENERGY COMING UP OUT OF THE GROUND FOR FREE -- TO PUT OUR POPULATIONS INTO MASSIVE SUPERPRISONS AND TO WATCH AND CONTROL THEM.
ANY READJUSTMENT WILL REQUIRE LOOSENING THE GRIP, MAKING THINGS MORE LABOR-EXPENSIVE AND LESS ENERGY-EXPENSIVE
AT WHICH POINT THE LOCAL WARLORD CAN STOP PAYING TAXES, AND ITS CHEAPER FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BRIBE THE NEIGHBORING WARLORD TO GO ENFORCE ITS WILL
NOBODY IN POWER NOW WANTS THIS SITUATION

@professionalbigot69 @NotImportant @Shadowman311 @SrbijaStronk @matty TO EXPAND A BIT ON THE FIRST POINT, AS YOU SCALE POWER PRODUCTION DOWN THE PROXIMITY OF THE POWER SOURCE TO THE USE CASE BECOMES MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT
OIL GAS AND COAL ARE HIGHLY PORTABLE, NUCLEAR ENERGY IS SO CONCENTRATED THAT CONVERTING IT INTO SYNTHETIC OIL MAKES ECONOMIC SENSE JUST TO HELP WITH DISTRIBUTION
A WINDMILL IS NOT SO ENERGY DENSE, BUT IT CAN CERTAINLY PUMP WATER FROM A WELL OR GRIND GRAIN OR HEAT WATER BY SLOSHING A GIANT PADDLE AROUND
IT CAN PROVIDE VERY GOOD NET ENERGY GAIN -- FOR ONE FARM, ON THE TERRITORY OF WHICH IT IS BUILT
AND SINCE ITS SO CLOSE, THE PROBLEMS OF INTERMITTENT WIND POWER BECOME MANAGEABLE
YOU JUST DO THINGS WHEN ITS WINDY AND DONT DO THINGS WHEN ITS NOT
YOU DONT NEED THE EXPLODING BATTERIES MADE IN CHINA OUT OF AFRICAN ROCKS, AND THEREFORE ITS NO BIGGIE IF THE TRADE NETWORK TAKES A SHIT
