Yes, it exasperates the problem but that’s my point, it isn’t the problem. Trump is literally investing in coal plants. Expecting our energy consumption to stay flat forever is not a solution.
You see the same argument spring up with evs. Evs aren’t the ones burning coal even if that’s what the oil companies were pushing a year ago.
We need a strong grid built on renewables and it should have been started a long time ago.
