The main reason we are not heading headlong into that project, getting it done right away, is because of the fossil fuel industry combined with a deep seated self-hate on the part of Republicans, who would &#8230; <a href="https://gregladen.com/blog/2018/06/29/decarbonizing-the-not-so-low-hanging-fruit/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Decarbonizing the not so low hanging fruit</span> <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The big complaint people have about renewable energy, or at least, the big complaint that has some merit, is that renewables, such as wind and solar, are intermittent and to varying degrees, unpredictably intermittent. This makes it hard to match demand for electricity to supply. Some aspects of this argument are overstated.
