Hm.
Oh wait - they did. And their ideas were dismissed.
And here we are, deja vu all over again.

American citizens above the Mason Dixon line are very grateful for heating oil and natural gas to fuel their furnaces. Solar is not sufficient for heat when it’s below zero and there is not enough sunlight in the long winter. I think people will be amazed how expensive and inefficient electricity is when EVERYTHING is run by electricity. Fossil fuels will always be important to the population but some use may be reduced. Florida may easily run off solar and wind energy if they aren’t concerned about the weather taking down their grid.
