Pressure from the tree huggers to lower carbon output that results from "traditional" power generation, and yet nobody wants to reduce their own demand for power.

I'm all for renewables, but at micro scale.

Renewables at grid scale, without a corresponding shift in demand habits, is a little naive, I think.

It's nice to say that power companies must go all renewables, when, as a consumer, you want to keep flipping switches like you did in the coal days. I just don't see it as a reality, when it comes down to it.
