    Fossil or renewable. What is the future?

    Back a bit we thought 19 cents was more like it. 74 was when the Japanese capitalized by bringing in cars that got 42mpg.

    Hard to tell 9 inches from the photo. Global mean sea level has risen about 8–9 inches (21–24 centimeters) since 1880. The rising water level is mostly due to a combination of melt water from glaciers and ice sheets and thermal expansion of seawater as it warms. https://www.climate.gov ›...

    You are correct, it will happen for convenience and monetary reasons. Beta, 8 track, laserdisc, blackberry, Kodak...etc, my favorite Aids diet pills. Talk about bad luck.

    That doesn't seem true by the evidence. Fossil fuel will be priced out by 2035. That is not my opinion. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidrvetter/2021/04/26/how-renewables-could-kill-off-fossil-fuel-electricity-by-2035-new-report/?sh=76c88fb865ed

    I only have so much time to devote to the FUDsters. Not to mention Mr.Ed is hard on me. So I have to be polite.

    Fossil or renewable. What is the future?

    FUD. That said, my EV on coal is cleaner than your vehicle on gas or diesel. I run mine on solar. Hard to beat that.

    Abundant and dirty, no thanks. If you can get a sunburn in winter there is solar in winter. Solar panels work best in cold, bright sunlight. I suggest the diy Solar forum. Those guys have some good ideas. Not scareddie cat theories. I intend to explore when I have time.

    Obscene solar cost? DIY

    All the companies installing solar for 10's of thousands of dollars are following Tesla's strategy of harvesting the big spenders. Yes you get all the permits and warranties, at retail. None questions the validity of solar, it's doing it so it works for your situation and at a reasonable cost...

    In California HOAs were forced by law to allow charging of electric vehicles. At the homeowners cost. The good news is that your HOA can't legally stop solar panel installation on your home in California. Thanks to laws like the Solar Rights Act and California Solar Mandate, residents shouldn't...

    Who needs gas generators? That's like taking a horse along to tow your vehicle if you run out of gas. Nobody likes running generators. Many new diesel motorhomes only have solar and can boondock for months with no trouble. Maybe you'd have trouble in Mordor but most parts of the USA there is...
