of those going to fossil fuels by the end of
this decade. David Holt, with a Consumer Energy Alliance, says
this will have real world impacts.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Natural gas no longer becomes market competitive with wind and
solar because of the imbalance in subsidies, and if the

that aren't sunny. Are the wind not blowing?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
