No it means conserving and using alternatives. Oil is a finite resource. So it makes a lot of sense to start shifting away from it. Something we started to do 40 years because politicians wanted to kick the can do the road.
First they don't do R&D and they don't do maintenance. Since the early '90s electrical utilities have not be required to spend money on maintenance. The electrical grid requires upgrading but not one company is doing that.
They can sell the power that goes back into the grid and the rate can be higher than what they paid the consumer who provided it. Please stop spreading FUD.
Where I live there is a monopoly. Most cities only have one company that provides electricity. FYI the electric can sell the power that goes back into the grid. They are not losing any money.
For example, the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) -- the state's public utilities authority -- voted to charge $0.70 per kilowatt (KW) to rooftop solar owners to help offset utility revenue losses.
It's about loss revenue for the utilities. It has nothing to do about the little guy.
You do realize these kids were tested first to see if they had a peanut allergy.
FTA: "All had been given skin-prick tests to make sure they were not already allergic to peanuts. "
So they took precautions to make sure they kids weren't already allergic, something a parent isn't going to know. If you kids are allergic to eggs or had eczema, they might be at risk to having an allergy to peanuts. So the first thing you don't do is shove peanuts down their throats! You'd better have your child tested first. IF, they don't have an allergy, THEN you can give them peanuts, which should help prevent them from developing one.
FTFA:
A big warning, though: The babies in the study were checked to make sure they didn't already have a peanut allergy before they were fed foods that included peanuts, so parents of babies thought to be at risk for an allergy should not try this on their own.
"Before you even start any kind of introduction these children need to be skin-tested" to prevent life-threatening reactions, said Dr. Rebecca Gruchalla, an allergy specialist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas.
So if you have an allergy, eating peanuts won't fix your allergy. If you don't have an allergy, but are likely to, eating peanuts can help prevent you developing an allergy.
Or your could read the actual quote before you get your panties in a bunch:
"Well, this is the world’s most technically advanced society, and we have people denying climate change. These guys are still in deep denial, and future generations, what few of them will be alive, are just going to go, “What were you freaking people doing? What was wrong with you?” So, in a sense, an F. But if it makes you feel any better, you can say a B-minus. We have this top tier [of scientists] in the U.S., the people who graduated from Stanford, from Berkeley, from MIT, Cornell. Those people are still exceptional and really good. But we have this enormous gap between that and just regular software writers
and farmers and people that need to be scientifically literate."
Actually they are doing them a favor. If you don't do anything now, we may be force to doing this later. So yeah it's helpful to understand some of the stupid things you'll need to do if you don't take sensible action now.

So you like taking it up the ass from Comcast....good for you....
It's the tin foil hat brigade...
Somebody is dick riding Verizon....
Actually it's not because we have an electrical grid which can transport energy around the country. You might want to do some research before posting.

You really like dick riding on the utilities.

Fine they can pay me for the privilege of running lines through my land.
Yo moron, look at your electric bill, it includes a deliver charge.
Right Potsy. Ignore what's actually happening today. The rest of your comment is a joke.
LMOL yeah these piddly subsidies as opposed the mega subsidy Exxon Mobile gets. Moron.
Right keep believing that.

So you're going to impeach the CEO of Comcast? Good luck with that...
Somebody works for Comcast....
As opposed to what we have now? Seriously, pull the other one.
Exactly. It ain't over yet. The devil is in the details and these court battles are going to decide the details.
After they had been tested to make sure they were not already allergic to peanuts, you fucking moron.

Except it doesn't. Try reading medical research sometime. Repeated exposure to an allergen can cause allergies.
No they are not asserting that dumb-ass.

Yeah because those guys who wrote FORTAN code didn't know what they were doing *eye roll* and you're missing the point :
