I installed my own import brand dual minisplit vacuum pump and all. Sounds like you just got a terrible HVAC co the first go round.

My point is the Texas energy market is a centralized Texas Legislature governed market. AKA not government-less.

Ironically in 2020.

"On June 1, Austin Energy issued a notice of suspension and its receipt has been acknowledged, according to the utility’s COO, Charles Dickerson. The energy generation facility will be retired Oct. 31"

Texas energy is traded through ERCOT, an energy market "...governed by a board of directors and subject to oversight by the Public Utility Commission of Texas and the Texas Legislature."

Interesting. Can you please provide a source? I've never heard as such, but would be glad to find otherwise.

Solar & wind != nuclear.

Solar and wind are not on demand and require storage that's not currently practical.

And definitely energy intensive to recycle.

Sounds like a government problem, not a nuclear problem.

Solar requires energy storage. It is not on demand. Wind and solar must be backed by an on demand source as we don't have sufficiently cost effective storage methods.

Options are then basically hydroelectric, natural gas, petroleum, coal, or nuclear. Nuclear is the cleanest if you can't put a dam somewhere.
