Thank you. I'm afraid the US has been on track to repeat the mistakes of Australia. We have been moving too quickly and blindly towards renewables at the expense of reliability. Under Obama's aggressive plan to "bankrupt the coal industry," coal plants have been shuttered at a staggering rate (see below). An exceptionally cold winter, hot summer, or even a disruption in the natural gas supply that we are so dependent on now could lead to a major energy crisis with rolling blackouts, usage restrictions, and eye popping electric bills. At least the President Trump has brought back some sanity with his "all of the above" energy policy, or insanity depending on your POV.
