Considering that this is new capacity, not total capacity, it's a fucking absurd outrage that it's anything less than 100.0%.

Every percentage point less than that represents us continuing to make the problem even worse even though we goddamn well know better!

What a fucking moron a politician has to be to allow addition of new fossil fueled energy sources, along with everyone who is supposed to supervise that process.

It’s just another sign of the sheer insanity this world is infected with.

I don't care what the excuses are; they aren't valid.

That's what nuclear is for.

Not always cheap or even feasible. Renewable generation has gotten quite cheap but storage will take a bit to catch on.
