Comment on Why the world doesn't have a backup plan for the oil crisis?

Renewable energy sources are purposefully unsubsidized to keep the world dependent on coal, oil, and fossil gas (they market it as natural gas) If they allowed for alternative energies, they’d lose footing as part of the interconnected system of ruling families known as the oligarchy. No progress will be made in the current system. Even climate change won’t be reversible until we’ve been heat-blasted for decades. It’s shameful and infuriating.

In the Netherlands people who use solar have to PAY to feed power to the network. It’s bat shit crazy.

Pay to share? The excess energy? Why punish those people? Ridiculous.

It's kind of stupid, on the one hand they'll pay you for the energy, on the other hand you have to pay for the grid load. Depending on your supplier and contract you could get a net price of 1 cent per kWh or more.

The government gets backhanders from the fossil fuel industry

The crazy thing is, the government doesn't outlaw this.
