We will be burning NatGas for 50 years. Baseload, backup and industrial demand it. I love renewables but it’s not a panacea

No one thinks it’s a panacea but talking points like the one you just repeated are a justification for never even trying. We can SIGNIFICANTLY reduce base load and SIGNIFICANTLY reduce peak loads with renewables but we are in a 50 year struggle with big capital who can’t make as much money off of decentralized and green alternatives.
