Janet Yellen: U.S. Must Look to ‘Wind, Sun’ for Energy, Not Oil and Gas
Breitbart ^ | 09/09/2022 | Jordan Dixon-Hamilton

Posted on 09/10/2022 8:31:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday the United States must look to “the wind, sun, and other clean sources of energy” instead of relying on oil and gas.

Yellen’s remarks came during a trip to Detroit, Michigan, where she boasted about the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

Oil and gas got their energy from the sun, directly and indirectly.

Then she took another toke and said all cargo ships must be replaced by paddle boats.

When did she become an expert on energy policy?

(When was she ever an expert on financial policy, having made all the mistakes she made?)

“...the United States must look to “the wind, sun, and other clean sources of energy” instead of relying on oil and gas. ..”

That is the story-line all administration employees must chant or get fired.

Wind and sun power aren’t exactly panning out. Of course, under current government practices, the answer will be to propagandize their virtues and censor criticism. That’s how the government creates success!

Also, she believes in unicorns and spirits living in trees. Well, maybe not unicorns, but I'll wager she believes in spirits living in trees, fields, rocks, etc.

I.e. she has no business in any position of authority. Maybe as a short order cook. Or waitress. Hotel maintenance, maybe? Housekeeping?

She needs to live in Michigan and try to depend on the sun. We CANNOT depend on the sun here. Witch.

I thought she was a finance person, what is she doing blabbering about “energy?”

There is no possibility that sun and wind can supply enough energy for the needs of a once-vibrant industrialized civilization. Not in the near future. Maybe never.

Yeah?

riddle me this then, uhmmmm numbers lady:

Sunlight & wind are too energy-dilute. Solar/wind projects need ~300x more land, 300% more copper, and 700% more rare earths than fossil fuels, making them prohibitively expensive.

How is that going to work?

Or

Wind/solar/batteries require: 1,000% more steel, concrete and glass; 300% more copper; and 4,200%, 2,500%, 1,900%, and 700% more lithium, graphite, nickel, and rare earths, respectively, than fossil fuels, to produce the same amount of energy, according to IEA and others.

Are you mathing?

China’s market share of renewables/EV minerals is 2x OPEC’s share of oil. The U.S. is dependent on imports for 100% of 17 renewables/EV-critical minerals; for 28 others, imports account for >50% of domestic demand.

Is there National Security Issue on this?

China’s market share of renewables/EV minerals is 2x OPEC’s share of oil. The U.S. is dependent on imports for 100% of 17 renewables/EV-critical minerals; for 28 others, imports account for >50% of domestic demand.

So who is going to eventually be screwed as China currently dominates our domestic energy policy?

Idiot.

China is the new OPEC

Another FAIL by our Republican Senators. A wolf in sheeps clothing.

“Yellen Breezes Through Confirmation Hearing, Largely Unchallenged by Republicans”……

https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/01/19/yellen-confirmation-hearing/

When do we wake up? Anything and everything senile Joe instates, mandates or supports is designed to destroy America, from Biden’s Covid vax hoax to Biden’s Ukie War. I saw it coming easily. Corrupted to the rotten core.

Study energy markets for a week. You’ll quickly understand the massive scale of energy production. Take out coal and natural gas you are left with only nuclear. And you can no longer make chemical feedstock for plastics, pharmaceuticals, etc.

Yellen is not stupid. She is intentionally destroying the economy.
