0:27 — "Electricity can't be created, stored, and used at a later time. The instant it's produced, it's used, no matter how far away the producer is from the user." .... while he's technically correct, this is incredibly misleading. Coal and Natural Gas CAN be stored in reserves and burned as required for the grid. That's why wind and solar are completely infeasible vanity projects that only exist due to HUGE tax incentives, it's not because they're practical.

Dave, are you paid by some coal/gas power company to be an influencer? Don’t get your point always stating that anything else than coal/gas/nuclear is bad. Tax money is also used for coal/gas/nuclear btw.

  Ha, no, I'm a web designer. I'm just not a fan of things that don't make sense generally speaking. And there's simply no comparing the subsidies wind and primarily solar get compared to the others: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesconca/2017/05/30/why-do-federal-subsidies-make-renewable-energy-so-costly/#7029b874128c

  I just submitted this vid to the site, but I doubt it will make it through by the site overlords. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xe3BWPsBTU

Well, one multi billionaire against another multi billionaire (Bill Gates vs. Elon Musk). I just don’t get how it came to that simple guys like us favorise on something that was the irrelevant before. Yes, green energy isn’t as green as it pretends. But is that the reason to go on as usual and just accept another possible deep water horizon? Either way, you are just picking sides for the Oil or the electricity billionaire.
