An all-renewable power grid is not going to happen, not until we build a lot of (hopefully advanced, safe) nuclear power plants, because wind and sun are intermittent. Those advanced nuclear plants are probably 20 years away and we will be in big trouble before then. And renewable energy is not what we’ve been led to believe; read “Bright Green Lies” for a harrowing look at the real story.

Thank you for book recommendation. (Watched Planet of the Humans. That dashed my earlier hopes for getting out of this mess.) This summer in NY has been like TC describes in LA - brown grass and thirsty animaux. The sound of rain is like a miracle when it happens.
