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?

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

It is going to work out very nicely for the politicians that have such investments.
