      Personally I think we should redirect to individual energy.

      I’m all for nuclear power and do believe more plants would obviously be better than continuing to use FF.

      But I also don’t see why we don’t just use solar panels/turbines etc. On every home. They sustain my home just fine, just some solar panels and a few batteries. Expensive initial investment but people are paying out the ass for electric in my area anyway.

      Knowing that if the power grid fails I’ve nothing to worry about feels great.

      I just can’t see why our governments don’t band together and mass produce solar panels. Yes, it’s going to be expensive but the way we’ve been obtaining power has been much more costly. The second the tech for solar panels became available the gov should’ve began attempting to mass produce and distribute them. Why they haven’t? My guess is that it’s because big corporations require more power than average people. Also, power itself is a big corporation. None of our power companies wanted to go out of business, they wanted to leech our $ instead even though it was a detriment to our future.
