    “Drill baby drill” is the stupidest strategy EVER. Peak coal is in the rearview mirror. Getting small. Peak oil AND peak gas projected during this very term! Hahahaha! “If we drill more, well make money, exporting!” [sic] What a fool!
    Obviously it’ll be more like: “Stranded assets baby! Stranded assets as far as the eye can see.”

    Got my panels for 2.5 years now, produced 12.6GW so far. Enough for my consumption. I can even fully charge my EV 50x a year just from what the panels produce. Every house should have solar panels
