ElleBC CaptBarkley I see. So, would you rather coal, oil and nuclear power continue to be what feeds our power grid? Or do you have a better solution? Or is it your role to just whine? I’m certainly not one to be a corporatocracy lover, but I’d much rather see one fueled by innovation and clean energy than what it is now. And did you even read the article or are you just a headline troll? Where in shit’s name does it say that he’s in charge of who gets electricity and who doesn’t? C’mon. Get real instead of reactionary.
Donna McClure I think so. It’s the beginning of weening ourselves off oil and coal pellet and perhaps nuclear energy feeding our power grid in favor of increasingly proven clean, efficient, and sustainable energy sources like wind and solar. It’s a pretty symbolic move. We’ll see what happens, but for now, I’m on board.
Wasim Muklashy I support PUBLIC ownership and control of basic life needs such as water, electricity, sewer, and garbage systems. I’m not sure why you would extrapolate my resistance to private control to mean that I am content with the status quo of multiple fossil fuel industries having private control. There are, at minimum, at least 20 other countries who have better solutions for reducing fossil fuel dependence than simplistic reliance on “market forces” to “regulate themselves.”
Do I like Tesla’s green energy solutions? Yes. Do I want to replace the oligarchical power of fossil-fuel-warmonger-kingpins like the Koch Brothers and Halliburton with the oligarchical power clean-fuel-elitist-private owners? NO.
Well look at that ElleBC CaptBarkley, an actual thoughtful response with real information and support of an opinion rather than a simple self righteous hit and run.
Yes, there are several countries that have it right and we’ll get closer to that once we prove to the general public that renewable sustainable energy is efficient and realistic. If there’s one thing this country has serious mental issues with, it’s our resistance to change, no matter how destructive the status quo truly is, but fact of the matter is, until you can convince them they can make money from alternative forms of energy and it can help the economy, you’ll never get them.
That’s the reality.
And the job right now is to convince them of that by actually doing it, which is happening because of big thinkers and movers like Elon Musk, Peter Diamandis, etc. It’s like any huge corporation…it takes forever to get an idea all the way up the line. In smaller countries, it’s not as difficult, they’re much smaller and leaner, so they can move more efficiently.
But we’re learning.
And if I had to choose between Tesla ruling my world versus Koch and Halliburton, make no mistake, I have no problem handing over those reigns. It’s not just the energy paradigm that’s shifting, it’s the responsibility of corporate culture where there’s a paradigm shift happening as well. The quick rise and popularity of B-Corps is just one of many many signs. We just have to wait for a few dinosaurs to die off.
Yeah, we have some work to do, sure, but shitting on something without making moves to make it better does no good.
I hope that is a good thing Wasim Muklashy!!! Enjoy the weekend.
Great, now one man is in charge of who gets electricity and who doesn’t. That seems fair, safe, and very democratic. Very American.

At all.
Only making moves to make it better does.
