Why do activists and policymakers have to *mandate* all-electric? Because consumers won't choose it on their own. Electric heat pump sales are decreasing because natural gas is cheaper than electricity. energyathaas.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/why…

Wasting $156 million is not environmentally friendly (even if it is good politics). The National Renewable Energy Lab notes that W. WA is the worst place for solar in the U.S. @EIAgov says rooftop solar is the least efficient source of energy. This is just waste. #waleg

Success has many fathers but failure is an orphan

@allengraetz @TheFrackingGuy They also claim that these new busses will be charged en-route meaning they will have to install very expensive equipment. This is not a 240V L2 charger.

@ltvebber Under a repressive tolerance framework it’s not only ideologically consistent to behave this way, it’s mandated. This un-Democratic hypocrisy is a governing doctrine of the Wisconsin left and most of them don’t even know it.
2 lawmakers resigned in Dec, 2017. Gov Walker did not call a special election. 59 days later, democrats sued and got a writ of mandamus requiring Gov. Walker to call the elections. 94 days ago, Sen. Taylor resigned. Gov. Evers has not called a special election.
And then there were four. Let’s celebrate. prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
Why do activists and policymakers have to *mandate* all-electric? Because consumers won't choose it on their own. Electric heat pump sales are decreasing because natural gas is cheaper than electricity. energyathaas.wordpress.com/2024/04/29/why…
Years of delays and cost overruns: definitely bad ~4.6 GW of 24/7 clean power for decades to come: objectively good. The real question: Does the Vogtle experience permanently scare the U.S. away from new AP1000s or similar GW-scale reactors?
