    To be clear, EVs aren't economical yet when all subsidy and (fossil fuel) tax effects are removed. But imo it's gotten close enough by now.

    It's more than a hype. Electric vehicles - particularly hybrid electrics, imo - are here to stay. Only way is up, and that's a great thing.

    OPEC is hopping aboard the electric-car hype train — revising upward its projections in a big way:

    This is "quite odd" only for the mass of people who have inadvertently bought into decades of relentless radiation scaremongering.

    1. Apologies for carrying on, but important. The 'many technologies' notion was promoted by my Academy early in the C abatement discussion.

    Mike twists the knife. insistence that it's antinuclear campaign doesn't endanger climate policy goals is hollow and pathetic.

    Let me be clear: *every* time you guys force closure of a nuclear plant, fossil energy generation increases and emissions rise.

    True. Ah wait, you CAN actually beat nuclear: by spending $700 million a year promoting scary lies about it.

    Indeed. At least not until they actually do what their promoters say they will: put fossil- and nuclear fueled power plants out of business.

    It has already chilled in four of the five largest solar grids. Blaming utilities for this obviously makes no sense.

    Yep. But if one doesn't like the real reasons solar power has been failing to live up to one's expectations, what else can one do?

    Replying to @leahstokes @JesseJenkins
    "Fair" is also in the eye of the beholder. This concept that solar interests are good, utilities are bad, is a naive, simplistic, narrative.

    1. has ~$300M per year to spend attacking nuclear. NRDC/EDF/Sierra have ~$400M per year to attack nuclear.

    Replying to @ShellenbergerMD
    Yes environmental organizations have more money than the nuclear industry. This checks out.
