"attacking solar and wind because “their batteries break down and become hazardous waste”"

My solar array has no batteries, it powers the house during the day and generates 2x to 3x the power which is fed back to the grid which gives me credits that pays for the energy we use after the sun goes down

My "electric bill" went from over $100 a month to $13, which is really just the associated taxes and fees.

I guess nobody explained that setup to him.

They (Mr. Oil, Mr. Coil and Mrs. Nuke) explained to him that they are loosing $87 from your electric bill what will effect their profits and donations to him.
