moment of every waking or sleeping hour. <span style=\"color: #003300;\">The United States has built a vast infrastructure for generating, transmitting, and consuming it\u2014all almost entirely based on planet-destroying fossil fuels and nuclear power.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><strong>Those fuels hold and store energy. <span style=\"color: #003300;\">If you accumulate enough of them, you can generate electricity abundantly and reliably.<\/span> The result is that the average American household uses electric resources far beyond its needs while losing power for\u00a0fewer than six hours\u00a0per year. <span style=\"color: #003300;\">Renewables can provide that plenitude\u2014and already do through wind and solar farms in Texas and California\u2014but not necessarily all the time.<\/span> The sun shines at us constantly, with more energy that we can possibly use at any moment, but the Earth\u2019s rotation puts us in shadow at nightfall. <span style=\"color: #003300;\">And wind, of course, can simply stop.<\/span> As a result, the leading fossil- and nuclear-free sources of energy bounce from feast to famine, raising the possibility of more frequent and longer power cuts. <span style=\"color: #003300;\">Critics\u2014often supporters of natural gas\u2014say wind and solar power are \u201cnot

borrowed the officer\u2019s phone <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">to call his brother<\/span><\/em>, police said. <span style=\"color: #008080;\">After \u201cseveral\u201d minutes, the officers broke the window and pulled out the unconscious girl, <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">who died at the scene<\/span><\/em>, police said.<\/span> It wasn\u2019t clear how many minutes elapsed before Deal gave consent for his window to be broken.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong><span style=\"color:

to Deal\u2019s home and immediately wrapped his shirt around his hand and offered to punch out the window. <span style=\"color: #008080;\">But Deal, who\u2019d said the air conditioner was on, <em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">told him not to<\/span><\/em> and to instead called their mother to have her insurance company send a locksmith, according to the arrest report.

<em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">continued to argue with the woman for 15 minutes<\/span><\/em>, trying to persuade her to hand him his phone.<\/span> After she complied, the girlfriend said he returned to ask if she could call his insurance company because he&#8217;d locked his keys inside the car.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color:

said.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Deal said the girl, who wasn\u2019t fastened, was walking around the seats and eventually lay
