The same thing happened in 2016. They tried to roll back every green initiative, but no matter what they try, green just makes more sense. Not only green and long term, but financially too. You have a one time setup with solar and wind and then very little maintenance - or you have constant mining operations, transport, and burning of heavy, dusty, gross coal. It’s the same here, whether they like it or not - it literally makes more sense.

It makes more sense and more cents!
