Fundamental: Solar/wind, the politically favored alternative, has intractable problems with cost (unreliability requires costly infrastructure duplication), versatility (only electricity) and scalability (depends on "reliables" and diluteness causes unprecedented material needs). — PolitiTweet.org

Fossil fuels are uniquely cost-effective due to: 1: Physical attributes: natural storage, concentration, and abundance—a combo currently shared only by nuclear 2: Generations of innovation + work by industry—which nuclear hasn’t had, mostly because of its near-criminalization — PolitiTweet.org

Recent price spikes in fossil fuels do not reflect some new lack of cost-effectiveness on the part of FFs, but rather the devastating effects of "green energy" efforts to artificially restrict the supply of FFs on the false promise that unreliable solar/wind can replace them. — PolitiTweet.org
