Fake, but true.

Georgetown, Texas went all in on green, renewable energy. Then the bill came due. Now they're trying to sue their way out of a long-term contract.

The story began in 2012 when Mayor Dale Ross and city officials concocted a plan to start buying all of the city’s power only from renewable energy; they signed long-term contracts with wind and solar companies, committing to pay a fixed price for the next 25 years in return for a massive load of energy. They went all in on wind and solar, betting the move was going to be cheaper than the rest of the energy market.

...

But after the confetti fell and Ross left the shiny movie set, he arrived in Georgetown to a disastrous reality. He and city officials quickly realized they had overspent for far too much energy—they burned $26 million over budget in just the last three years, to be exact. They had to unload extra energy for a $7 million loss.

Even worse, the prices for other forms of energy (such as natural gas) became much cheaper than Ross’ green energy contract, but because the mayor locked citizens into a long-term fixed price, Georgetown residents were forced to pay more even though prices everywhere else had fallen.

Nice grouping, but let's work on whom to shoot.

Something I noticed about news articles extolling the virtues of renewables such as solar and/or wind power: They only happen in the Summer.

No one is praising these two in the middle of a bitter Winter season.

Don't play with screwdrivers, mkay?

The wind blows in the winter, but how well your windmills work is a function of temperature. I suspect their efficiency goes down with the temperature.

Solar insolation is a function of latitude, so the further poleward you are, the less solar energy you receive. And then when the sun is on the other side of the equator from you, that's even less.

We are big outdoor sports retailer. You are small. Our lawyers gonna take it all.

*Cue public outcry*

Sorry, so sorry, we meant to say that we are a part of a vibrant thriving community of like-minded people and in no way did our expensive frivolous lawsuits attempt to do exactly what our court documents said we were going to do which is to drive you little people out of business and trademark a word for our own use only, forever, in perpetuity throughout the universe.

So we're cool now and you can stop bothering to fight back, okay?

Any bets which Science web site will claim that she was trans?

My money is on Vox.
