Anyone at Solar Austin have any suggestions for us? Thanks. We are seeking ways to include renewable energy suppliers with our carbon-based suppliers.

The fact that it is useless is precisely why it is promoted by the faction that wants to destroy civilization, since civilization cannot exist without increasingly powerful energy sources. Texas must embrace nuclear power, just to maintain existing living standards, much less grow economically and become more prosperous. Geothermal is a red herring which cannot exist without government subsidies. Technological improvements will make no difference because the energy simply is not there. If CleanTX and Venti Energy are serious about clean energy, then they will focus on nuclear energy henceforth. As he is no doubt a rational man, I am sure that Richard Amato understands this.

Texas must embrace nuclear power, just so that Texas may maintain its existing living standards, much less grow economically and become more prosperous. Solar, wind and other so-called renewable energy sources cannot exist without government subsidies and in purely physical terms they require more energy than they produce. Technological improvements in these forms of energy will make no difference because the energy simply is not there. The sun only throws 30 kW per square meter on the earth, at noon in summer on a cloudless day. Wind energy is entirely unreliable. If Austin Energy is serious about energy, then it will focus on nuclear energy henceforth. Otherwise, it is plainly not serious and not even rational.
