  1. Yeah. In a perfect world. This will be a great idea. In reality. Trusting your energy needs to others is foolhardy. We learned this with Russia. Just because it is renewable doesn't mean it is any safer. The entire point of renewables for me is energy security, and decentralization. Getting the shackles off of the middle east. So we finally get rid of the islam fundlementist. Just to put our power security into the ocean where any nefarious actor could cut? Naah. I like energy security.

  2. Didn't people learn trusting your energy security on others is just dumb? Thought Europe specifically learned this lesson. Now we want to cross countries, and put our energy security into the sea. Where bad actors can destroy it? No thanks. Batteries and renewables all day long. I mean I can't wait to leave the Arab countries in the dust. Yet we would be losing one shackle just to create others needlessly.
