NextEra CEO says renewables needed as ‘bridge to expanding gas power’. It will take at least seven years to get new gas-fired plants online. “We need a bridge to get ourselves to 2032 when that gas shows up. If we take renewables off the table, we are going to have a real power shortage.”

    Jesus Christ.

    Remember 15-20 years ago when fracked natural gas was pitched as a bridge to full renewables?

    I really hate this timeline.

    I’m going to try to be generous, and assume he is knowingly saying this horseshit in order to keep his job as a CEO in Trump’s America.

    “I absolutely love gas Mister President, love it bigly; I swear I’m just putting in a few dozen gigawatts of solar here and there just to tide us over for a couple of years. Pinkie promise.”

    So until 2028 when we get to potentially stop pretending that renewables are a bad thing to concentrate on because 1 person doesn’t like them?
