One has to wonder why the USA seems determined to destroy its electric power Grids for ambiguous terms such as 'Green' and 'Clean', which cannot be translated into meaningful measurements of CO2 reduction in the electricity coming out of the Grid.
At the very least, we should establish goals that we can measure - such as CO2/kWh and $/(CO2/kWh) reduction, so we know how to spend money on what works best - without getting into arcane discussions that essentially debate whether 2+2=4 (i.e., debate issues that are determined by engineering principles, not who wins the debate). Just sayin'.

Thanks for the comment, Sean. I agree. Without goals and metrics, some policies are virtue signaling and potentially destructive. Ed.
American exceptionalism (aka suicide) at its finest.
Unfortunately true, Dutch. Thanks for the comment. Ed
