Pay more today and save money later.

Solar panels are a single cost for long term savings, oil is an ongoing cost and not reusable.

Solar + battery is already the cheapest way to make reliable energy today. Even without climate issues it's the obvious way forward.

Isn't this common knowledge?

We have one whole political party that has been all-in on "drill baby drill" for decades now, they don't let any obvious facts and reality stand in their way.

The video does address that question.
I highly recommend watching the whole video, even the rant after the fake ending.

It's common for folks paying attention. For the folks too busy to research beyond mainstream "news" a.k.a. billionaire propoganda, no.

Liars are the main speakers on that platform and they repeatedly say that the surging power costs are because of renewables. It's not true, but the truth doesn't pay their salary
