    The US is a net gas exporter so those plants are working just fine.

        Fuck no. The US sucks ass. I’m just pointing out a fact: The reason the US has so many gas plants is a strategic and business decision. We’ll likely pay higher prices for electricity but we’re not going to run out of gas for them.

          Fair enough. The shithole I’m located in relies on coal for the most part, because why wouldn’t it. There is quite a bit of renewable energy that was setup before the current administration chopped the incentives, though.

            Our problems are the same but inflected differently.

      China exports billions more of green tech than USA exports fossil fuels.

        Yes but it’s not like they’re going to run out of gas. That’s why they built so many of them.

          People aren’t worried about running out of gas. They are worried about running out of money.

              And some people aren’t worried about either. They just got bombed to death.

              If there is no money to buy something then it doesn’t matter if it’s available or not.

        It’s been a net exporter for a decade due to all the fracking. Though they import like 10% of what’s used from Canada, they export double that as LNG.
