lol, there definitely is a pattern. The ankle thing is spot on. Also reminds me of a frustrated babysitter that the kids won’t listen to or take serious.
We land at night!

Those hippies over at Forbes are reporting that we have reached or are near reaching the crossover point where wind and solar are less expensive than coal.
So… does it make economic sense to generate power at a higher cost and higher pollution just because of politics?
Hey, this is a conversation about whether or not the propellers on a wind turbine specifically hold power in themselves. Stop moving the goal posts.
What about the point posts? Do they move as well

Not in any way. Not surprised you passed on answering (although we both know what your answer is 
)
You have absolutely no interest beyond bashing Trump and those who would dare support him.
Not true, we have been discussing renewable power generation, storage, and all sorts of neat things.
Maybe attempt more than stating everyone is “frothing” in threads, and you may have actual discussions?

Yeah, right. 
It does when the firm power from those coal plants is needed to back up the highly variable input from wind and solar.
Natural gas plants are cheaper and cleaner
New technologies are getting plenty of subsidies. What is still true, however, is that renewables are nowhere NEAR potent enough to replace fossile fuels and even if they were they are STILL unreliable.
You have to be able to rely on a constant minimal level of power in order to keep the nation at a certain level of comfort and production. There is just no way to make wind and solar reliable because we cannot control the weather and the Sun. Some days you get peek power for a good part of the day. Some days you are nowhere near it anytime of the day.
If you want to get rid of the reliable fossile fuels go nuclear, which is equally reliable.
Supplement your needs with any and every alternative you can afford to play with, (and they are not cheap - let’s be clear), but keep the reliables online at all times.
You will absolutely need them. It’s just a matter of how much you need them on any given day.

I’ll just leave this in here for everyone to enjoy.

So its not possible to put solar cells in orbit?
Yes, but it costs a lot of money to decommission and demolate old coal plants and it takes years and lots of money to build new natural gas plants and build the transportation pipelines to fuel them. You cannot just snap your fingers and make it happen overnight.
Sure. Then what?
Either beam the power down or charge battery’s.
Go for it. 
That good old anti-science.
What science?
Not much on economics ether.
