We never kill fossil fuels unless we do.  I assume the electrical grid is capable of taking up the slack.

[Warren Dew]

As usual, your assumptions are mistaken.

Even if the grid could take up the slack, the additional electric generation required would just result in building of more fossil fuel plants, some using much more environmentally unfriendly fuels such as oil and coal - not to mention that electric heat is much less efficient than fossil fuel heat.

Wow.

If you are a criminal for buying a gun, getting a haircut, starting a business, refusing to buy insurance, refusing to wear a mask, and going to church, why obey any laws at all?

No utility is building coal-fired plants, and most are avoiding gas.  Nuclear should be an option, but it's been demagogued into oblivion.  So that leaves the intermittent sources: wind and solar.  For that to be adequate, the grid needs a major upgrade.  It needs one anyway, so two birds, one stone.

When it arrives, fusion will solve the entire problem (assuming it isn't astronomically expensive, of course).  ITER is still advancing on schedule, so there's hope.

You really need to adjust your meds, or lay off the street shit.

Americans are so fearful, brainwashed, dependent, or ignorant that they think like children and justify every law and overlook every abuse carried out by the government. They believe government workers are kind gods who can do no wrong. Americans would rather blame the victim of government abuse than the government. Americans feel that the government can run their lives better they can and that safety is more important than freedom. Americans think hating tyranny means that you are a traitor. Americans think the only possible way to solve any problem is force.

Americans are so fat, degraded, and drugged up that they eagerly allow themselves to be molested to ride a bus, offer their fingerprints to get a driver license, and open their bags to be searched so they can ride a subway.

If Americans are asked about the US debt, they respond that it doesn't matter because it is not real money and doesn't need to be paid back. Americans say tax breaks are theft. Americans believe roads would turn to dirt and people would be forced to ride horses if there was a smaller government. Americans think people should be arrested for withdrawing money from their own bank accounts because they might do drugs. Americans say beer taxes should be raised to stop people from drinking.Americans think people should be arrested for feeding the homeless. Americans say the police should be allowed to shoot unarmed people in the back.

Americans think the government should force car companies to install airbags that deploy airbags with knives inside to kill drivers so that they will drive carefully. Americans believe people should be jailed for filming public buildings. Americans think endless wars are fine because US bombs are just gathering dust. Americans support government secrecy because the USA has enemies. Americans think taxes create more jobs than the free market can. Americans think the desires of neighbors are more important than the rights of property owners. Americans believe the government owns everything because the government is the people.

When asked about gun control, Americans say it's needed for safety. If asked about free speech, Americans respond that no one should be offended. Americans think Muslims don't have religious rights because Islam is not a religion. Americans say asset forfeiture is fine because the police have been doing it for years. Americans defend NSA wiretapping because it's just metadata. Americans believe TSA groping is good since they have nothing to hide. Americans say torture is okay because other countries do it. Americans even say the Bill of Rights should be abolished because George Washington owned slaves!

The US is so degraded now that any Americans who oppose wars, debt, and tyranny will be called traitors, nutjobs, racists, Communists, or Fascists.

The collapse of the USA is disgusting and shameful.

Those who still support the government are just tools for the elites.

The US deserves everything coming to it.

Irrelevant, by 2030 nobody will be living in Seattle anyway. The city council is on a crusade to become the next Detroit.

The elites want to make everything illegal so they can fill their private prisons and kill off the 99%, but life would be much better if everything was legal and people could travel, make money, go to church, go to school, and start businesses.
