Electricity prices are up. The administration is cancelling solar and wind projects because of ideology.

Electricity prices are up everywhere. We're still way lower than many many places. There's many parts of the US (take a wild guess where all the data centers are going...) where electric rates are <$.10/kwh.

Now compare that to...

Yes, solar and wind projects are being canceled, and yes, there may be an element of ideology involved, but the reality also is that the math aint working.

If the math worked, Europe's energy prices wouldn't be where they are now, given the commitment they've made to renewables. I'd much rather see a national focus on nuclear, which is as clean as any other form of energy, and to a degree that is happening now.

Lies and more lies. You've fallen for them too.

The math is clear - solar + batteries is the cheapest source of electricity. China isn't generating 80% of all new electricity with solar because they want to be green above all else.

> Europe's energy prices wouldn't be where they are now, given the commitment they've made to renewables

Again a tired old lie. Europe is a big place, just like the US. Some countries have high prices and some countries don't.

Be better informed. Stop lying.
