Conserve Entergy so the rest of us can use it

You still on the eggnog, baw?

Luckily I'll die in the water wars so i won't have to save for retirement

Pio have they shut down the coal fired plant around Batesville yet? Lineman friend of mine says that’s the plan and when it happened Arkansas is screwed

---

It's still supplying Megawatts to the grid, thankfully. In between the Entergy coal plant in Newark and their White Bluff coal plant, approximately 3.4 Gigawatts was being supplied to the grid during this recent cold snap.

Don't worry though, solar and windmills will save us all once they are forced to shutter.

The fact they haven’t spent the money in research in small nuclear plants, means they aren’t serious and never will be.

Hell that one kid built a small nuclear facility that could power 10k homes inside his garage.

Just make it to where they have to have updated standards and safety every 5-10 years…

Long distance, electric vehicles won’t ever be the solution. No one wants to have a 1 hour or more lay over ever 200-300 miles.

Toyota is back to upping their hybrid and hydrogen powered research, and that’s the best bet. Hydrogen powered combines with oxygen to make electricity to power cars like the shuttle with pure water exhaust.

Less people die from global warming than global cooling… so no.

Can’t wait to back into a light pole and die in a fiery Hindenburg explosion

---

Well that’s not how that works, so it won’t happen. Hindenburgs hydrogen instantly burned out and didn’t cause an explosion, the burning part was they covered the balloon material in the same thing covering the top of matches.

Also you should be more worried about any type of puncture to the lithium ion battery cells that cause failure. Because those things can burn for weeks up to months and one even kept randomly catching on fire up to a year later. While also being harvested by slave labor in the Congo and having no plan to dispose of them so they end up going into land fills causing heavy metal poisoning of waterways.

If we switch to wind/solar power, you should be worried about the wars starting for the minerals to make those. As they are all in south America and Africa in mines controlled by China. Also with wind power, if you believe the solar caps are melting, that will lead to a global stilling and there will be less wind to push the turbines.

All the energy we could ever need hits the earth every day. Time will tell if we ever find an efficient way to harvest and store it.

No way to store it, so it doesn’t matter. Germany produces like 150% of the energy they need by renewables during the summer during the day, but can’t keep the electricity rolling at night or winter.
