>>12279864>Is there any reason to keep using coal in the current year?Because it's cheap
>Renewable energy is cheaper and creates more jobs.It requires more jobs and is way more expensive. WAY MORE EXPENSIVE. Just because news media funded by someone with investments in green energy says the moon is made of cheese or that renewable energy is cheap doesn't make it true.
>If you need a backup you could use hydroelectric, nuclear or natural gas.You need a backup. Not IF, you absolutely need a backup. And the backups are not even factored into the expenses, even thought they should be. The question then is why not run the stable and reliable backups 24/7 and skip the renewable energy completely. And well, yes, that's a good question, and the answer to that is that yes, there's no reason to add renewables to a stable powersource when you need to have it there anyway.
It's a scam for the gullible like you.
