How would you go about fixing it? The planet is going to keep doing what it's doing.

Time to invest in solar or some gens

Or a hamster wheel. You can get some exercise in while you watch TV!

Sucks if you take a break though.

The house I bought came with solar panels. You know how much electricity I get when the power goes out? FUCKING ZERO. Why? Because the power company decided it would be unfair competition if I was allowed to have a battery. I'm not joking.

GBA SP has a battery lifetime of about 10 hours so you should get 2 evenings out of one charge.

We could create more nuclear plants but neither party seems too interested. I remember Obama used executive powers to keep a plant that had been storing up recycled uranium for 20 years from being put into use. I know people on the right like to talk it, but I have yet hear about them actually doing anything with it.

We wouldn't really notice any difference in climate from it anyways.

Depending on the power company, some of them have alternative single fixed rates that they are loathe to admit existing. If you're the 9-5 type those rates are probably better for you, despite whatever honeyed words the company might whisper about flex rates.

They can't do this while simultaneously making it illegal and "abuse" to make your kids run on hamster wheels 6 hours a day. Bullshit

How the fuck is it even their business what you do or don't use on your own property (provided it doesn't interfere with the grid)?
