Renewable Energy’s Unreliability Pushes U.S. Back to Coal
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, highlights a growing problem in renewable energy: solar and wind aren’t always reliable, leading some companies to buy insurance to cover downtime. While this protects businesses, it risks driving up electricity costs and increasing U.S. dependence on coal. McIntyre warns that rising demand from AI, crypto, and climate-driven air conditioning could make fossil fuels harder to phase out.
