There ' s not a lot of reason to be out there unless you work there or you ' re going to the Intrepid <| sep |>. That ' s ticky tacky <| sep |> 2 weeks in a row Vikings getting bailed out . Horrible call <| sep |> Is this Eurovision ? <| sep |> This is the smart way , because the cost gap between fossils and green is dropping rapidly . In many ways , renewable energy is cheaper to get going because the infrastructure is rather simple to build up . You don ' t have to build this massive structure that has to contain mini explosions , and then have the infrastructure rally around this one central point . You can start of very basically with some solar panels and wind turbines in towns and villages , and they can remain selfsufficient . And of course , big coal and oil stifle renewables in the US , so now China is going to be the one who makes all the money selling new energy tech . Fantastic . Much easier to maintain these decentralized power systems too . Where I live in Connecticut , our power comes from points in Waterford or Rhode Island , which are 30 miles away . The power lines are so shitty that a fly farts , and we lose power , and takes forever to reconnect . Very unstable when inclement weather actually gets serious and the whole state has to be repaired . Now , Norwich has its own power system , so they either never lose power , or they ' re back online in a short amount of time . I don ' t know if the rest of the world has as much suburban sprawl as the US , but having local power systems would be a big help , even if they only exist as a redundant system in case an emergency happens .
