What’s the cost/kwh? Solar in Maine is about 13 cents, which is about twice the national average, but still pretty darn good. I have a 5kw roof and rarely get an electric bill.

I’m not opposed to tidal at all, btw. I support a diverse energy portfolio, but the economics have to make sense or it’ll never get off the ground.

Decentralized energy production is the future, I think. Well, I hope it is anyway.

  1. That’s not how logic works.

  2. Did you just learn about this problem in school today, and now you think you understand it? It’s a very old, very complex issue. Remind me, since you’re so proud of your opinions, how well Obama’s Conflict Mineral laws worked out for locals in the DRC? Well-intentioned? Yes. Disastrous for local “exploited” labor? Also yes.
