The green energy crowd has promised a utopia fueled by wind and solar, but in reality, the only thing they've been able to deliver is problems. Those problems have come largely from spending too much on technology that doesn't work.

Brent Bennett with the Texas Public Policy Foundation told KTRH, "What's happening with our policy is, it's essentially the government trying to predict the future. They're trying to say, 'These technologies are gonna be IT, and this is what we need, so we're gonna pour a bunch of money into them."

According to Bennett, however, these investments just wind up hurting our power grid. He says those green investments are "crowding out" good investments in grid resiliency and improving and growing our fleet of dispatchable power plants.

Bennett says there will likely come a time when nuclear becomes the primary source of power, but fossil fuels will always have their place, meaning a full-blown "Energy Transition" is probably never really going to happen.
