    Preachin' to the choir, @EBEBRATT-Ed! There's plenty of arguments (and I mean that in the true meaning of the word, not just fighting about it) both for and against electrification that can be made; but without firm, dispatchable, generation behind it, like that thermal plant your brother worked at, it simply can't happen.

    Renewables are great, but they're expansive to build, expensive to rebuild, expensive to connect, and very unreliable. They're simply not suitable for base load.

    EDIT: I was going to fix the "expansive" typo above, but I realized that it still fits!

    Renewable are impoetant resource but need spinning mass generators to keep the grid stable. Otherwise you risk collapse like we saw in Spain.
