The utilities are able to provide that electricity to us only because of massive subsidies and tremendous damage to our environment. We pay a dime, but our grandchildren?
2) The cost of electricity is only going to increase. Fossil fuel sources are finite and are only going to become more scarce. Nuclear cleanup, storage of spent waste and “mothballing” of old plants is going to cost more than a Trillion dollars (that’s with a “t”, 1000 billion dollars, and a billion is 1000 million). 3) Solar and wind sources will not run out of fuel, do not pollute, do not put future generations at risk for our short-term pleasure. You are invulnerable to the rising costs of other electricity sources or even simple line failures.
