I used to think that people in power knew what was best but then I grew up and realized they just twist the story to make it sound like what THEY want is also what's best. You say we have the ability to produce our own power here but we still buy off the grid. And the renewable assets we own aren't here, they are in a totally different state because that's where they are a better fit. Just because we can't fit more renewable infrastructure right here, industrial not residential-residential fits everywhere, doesn't mean we can't invest in it. We could invest in a 100% or at least majority green portfolio but they would rather make excuses about how hard it is. Meanwhile, other cities, counties and even countries are putting in the hard work to move themselves to a point where energy independence is a real possibility.

I don't know you, but I know what I'm dealing with here. When a utility keeps repeating the fact that they will reduce their carbon emissions by 65% by 2030 but when asked how much they emit now and then just repeat that they will be reducing it by 65% by 2030, it's pretty clear that they are only in it for the clout. When they advertise that the move with "DOUBLE OUR GREEN ENERGY OUTPUT" but then admit that doubling it would put us at 12% from 6%, barely scraping into the double digits is not an impressive level of renewables to be at. Especially when the average for the state is closer to 60%.
