The “problem” is that wind, solar, and batteries for overnight storage can now outcompete fossil fuel generation on price, which means that the patrons who back the Republican party stand to lose a lot of money.

    I derive endless comedy from democratic states wanting to change but being unable to because of environmental regulations and Republican states not wanting to change but being unable to because of free market capitalism.

    When Republicans say, “don’t threaten me with a good time,” they aren’t just joking.

    It’s so dumb, too. It saves money, but the party of fiscal responsibility doesn’t want that. It is the open market self-regulating, but the party of open market and limited regulations wants to regulate it out of business.
