> Barely went to Biden in 2020, yes, but Gov and Legislature are GOP dominated, and have been for some time.
But this is only because of Trump's lies and Fox news collusion with Trump. If they gave Biden and honest wrap and told their viewers how historic a Biden presidency would be and how Biden would fight like hell to bring the prices of kitchen table issues down then he would have won Arizona in a landslide.
Poe's Law can make it hard to tell, but to me it looks like someone satirizing the extremes of anti-capitalist ideology. Surely there is someone somewhere who agrees that some LGTBTQI+ issue constitutes a real argument against grid-scale energy storage, but if they were the person who is commenting here, probably they would have tried to explain what the relationship is instead of just appending keyword salad.
Well this is not true because Biden has already started transitioning the US off fossil fuels without any long-duration energy storage and he is doing it in a historically inclusive manner[1].
We will need it later, you can't go 100% 0 carbon without it. Just running peaker generators, figuring out how to heat/cool houses, charge EVs when there is surplus, ... are all cheaper alternatives to storage, but won't cover everything
> We will need it later, you can't go 100% 0 carbon without it.
I think this is just what capitalist is trying to make people believe, the economy will adapt and jobs are already booming as the unemployment in US is at a historic low which shows just how historically strong the economy is [1].
You are insufferably dense. This has nothing to do with economy, inclusivity or any other BS from the POTUS website. Energy production has to be ramped up and down to match utilization in order to keep the grid stable. That is much more difficult to do with renewables. You can't just turn up the wind speed to make turbines spin faster. I know this may be surprising, but when the grid voltage drops too much and fries everybody's electronics, people tend to get very pissed (in a very universally inclusive manner).
They're not arguing it's an economic harm to decarbonize, they're pointing out that it cannot physically be done, at all, without some way of storing energy.
This is needed because otherwise you'd only get energy when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. This is especially true if you do not classify nuclear energy as green energy, but even with nuclear providing baseload generation you would want energy storage to truly take advantage of the energy that renewable sources can provide.
> They're not arguing it's an economic harm to decarbonize, they're pointing out that it cannot physically be done, at all, without some way of storing energy.
If this was true why is the US economy doing so well in the transition off carbon based fuels while being the most inclusive in history[1]?
> This is especially true if you do not classify nuclear energy as green energy
But nuclear is not green [2], and labelling it as such is just green washing.
> If this was true why is the US economy doing so well in the transition off carbon based fuels while being the most inclusive in history[1]?
Because we have not gotten to the point where storage, and particularly long term storage, would make sense to build. I mean, why synthesize a chemical fuel when we're still burning so much natural fuel?
I honestly do not understand this push to have 'inclusive energy policy'. WTF. The point is a net carbon reduction. If poor people need dirty energy while rich people subsidize the technology development WHO CARES.
Maybe you linked to the wrong article, that article mentions "Duque’s spraying campaign" - fairly sure that Duque is not US.
Also Biden is the most progressive president in history, and I think with Colombia's track record when it comes to black and trans bodies you should maybe look in the mirror before pointing fingers.
The instantaneous exchange rate between two currencies does not give any information about the strength or weakness of the economies that operate on those currencies.
Yes I agree, Biden is also very tough on corruption[1], historically so in fact.
