Burning question: Renewables cannot satisfy energy needs in near future

In this mention

U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander argues that renewable energy cannot meet near-term electricity demands and advocates for continued coal use with carbon capture, nuclear expansion, and electric vehicle adoption. The op-ed addresses the TVA's Kingston coal ash spill and proposes a comprehensive energy agenda including conservation, pollution controls, and federal R&D investment rather than reliance on wind and solar power.
