Renewable energy is actually reducing energy costs. Trump's budget cutting that's slashing the development of renewable energy favor of the more expensive and poisonous fossil fuels is what's causing energy costs to go up. California's focus on renewable sources of energy has grown it's economy from being the world's 9th largest economy to now being the world's 4th largest economy. You also need to know that renewable sources of energy are putting coal companies out of business on a regular basis now because renewable sources of energy are now cheaper than coal and they don't poison the planet the way coal does. In May 2026, renewable energy generated more electricity that coal and it's continuing to grow, It's important to remember that too much electricity is still being generated by burning the planet killing fossil fuels. FYI, my engineer father always taught me that nuclear power is not green because no one has figured out what to do with the toxic nuclear waste .In addition, he also taught me that nuclear power is much too expensive. Nuclear power is way more expensive than renewable sources of energy. I want the people of Africa to have the best of everything. Nuclear power is not the solution.
