In recent years, as an add on to their successful, and frankly deadly, attack on nuclear energy, advocates for the now multitrillion dollar failled experiment on solar and wind have been selling the scheme by muttering insipidly that so called "renewable energy" is an alternative to coal.

The reality is belied by the fact that the Germans didn't shut their coal plants. On the contrary, they embraced them. They shut their nuclear plants, killing not just people, but all living things affected by extreme global heating.

Solar and wind are not alternatives to any form of reliable energy, dirty forms like coal, gas, and petroleum, nor clean forms like nuclear energy.

The piper is here to be paid.
