I thought with the explosion of electric power and windmills and the electric vehicle boom, fossil fuels would not be required…
Yet, a lot of countries still generate coal and other fossil fuels, is it because there is still filthy amounts of profit there to be made? Maybe they are just so used to it they don’t wanna swap to another resource?
I thought with Solar panels being massively produced, it would sell like hot cakes and you’re literally having the power of the sun in your hand.
Cheapest to collect and use there and then? Sure, out of all new power generation.
But when it comes to using the power when it’s needed most, solar is very expensive because….well it produces nothing when the sun goes down and people need power. It then relies on storage, which is expensive.
