3. and they want to reprioritize the reasons for growth. For example, GDP is one measurement we use to determine whether a country is growing and the economy is good, but this often misses how regular people view the state of the economy.

2. either you accept abundance and improve the quality of life or embrace degrowth and starve the world. But from my limited understanding of the degrowth movement, I do not think it is a fair framing of their position. From what I understand, they are against growth for growth's sake,

6. So why would you include this information without contextualizing it? You can't simultaneously present yourself as well-versed in the subject and continue to tout disinformation about the industry.

5. but when it comes time to actually build and use the land, a turbine will only take up a couple acres at most. So you will have a project lease possibly thousands of acres, but only actually use a tiny fraction of the actual land.

4. In other words, though wind and solar (and especially wind) need a lot of land to start with, the ultimate footprint is far smaller. For example, when developing a wind project, the developer will initially lease an entire parcel or series of parcels,

3. Not cited in "Abundance" is the very next sentence in the Princeton Report which reads: "Lands directly impacted by wind and solar farms (e.g. with roads, turbine pads, solar arrays, inverters, and substations) are only a fraction of the total site area: about 40,000 km2..."

2. Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Tennessee." This is a common false accusation by opponents of wind and solar; i.e. wind and solar are impractical because they take up too much land! Look at all of those states!

2. b. it strawmans the degrowth movement; c. it fails to adequately address any of the bottlenecks in the energy development process; and d. it prioritizes things like AI much more than things that democrats should be touting (i.e. reliability and affordability).

Absolutely, I think if the Dems had shown any evidence that they will respond in a way that meets the moment recently, there would be less gnashing of teeth.

One of the more indelible memories for me from Game 7 of that series is Lue bawling into a towel after they won. Guy gave it his all.
