  1. 15:15 - “next time a natural gas power plant is proposed, we should… factor the cost of the natural gas power plant and the carbon capture system to offset that credit and the energy needed to power it… against something like solar, wind, or nuclear…” Problem is solar, wind, and nuclear all need natural gas peaker plants to be viable since no one wants dams to store massive potential energy, they have been deconstructing dams for decades because of environmental reasons, and people die when they can’t get energy to keep them from freezing to death or dehydrating from excessive heat. Look at the greater Texas power outage that lasted many days in the winter… that polar vortex required so much energy that even peaker plants could not keep up! The solar, wind, and nuclear could not hold candle to what the peaker plants were required to produce… and could not produce. (All the charges Batteries in the world could not have helped, by the way.) Ricky - you have no idea how big of a problem that energy is. You have a small clue, but you really don’t understand how big the problem is.

  2. 16:05 - “move to newer technologies that are cleaner” Each of these newer technologies you mentioned require an immense amount of energy to mine, manufacturer, and recycle. The move must be to easily recycled energy. Carbon can be captured for recycling into fuel. Hydrogen can be recycled into water vapor. These types of things can be recycled by living things. Other types of energy that are not readily recycled include: nuclear waste that must be entombed for millions of years, or wind farm blades which litter massive windmill bone yards, or the toxic waste that can not be recycled from the remnants of solar panels, lithium batteries are nowhere near the recycling capabilities of lead acid (and lithium leached into water supplies are linked to autism.) Newer is not better. Recycled is better. Sustainability trumps novelty. We need sustainability.
