Desire for McRib turns to ingestion, ingestion leads to indigestion, indigestion leads to irritable bowels, irritable bowels leads to the sh*ts, the sh*ts leads to Depends.

They did the math:


"This is just to replace coal and natural gas for electricity, now calculate how much MORE this country needs to replace oil for transportation and natural gas for heating." - a Redditor

And that is just generation. Not storage. Not transportation. Not maintenance.

Anyone buying this is getting sold a bridge.

Now imagine how much more massive the need is in the US.

Utilities here, although regulated, are allowed to include surcharges to cover the costs of the new infrastructure. So you pay for the construction costs up front. Then they sell you the power the plant you had to pay for generates at a markup profit.

It's like Walmart charging you to build their store, then make you pay retail rates for the goods inside. No other industry I know of gets away with that crap.
