The Crescent Dunes solar power plant wasted $727 million. Under Sanders, multiply that by 1,000 or 10,000.

How much of that money got kicked back the Democrat coffers and offshore accounts?

There isn’t enough land in the US to accommodate the forests of windmills and acres of solar panels needed to supply even half of our electric needs and without some type of backup like gas turbines or nuclear plants that can quickly come online to meet demand when the wind doesn’t blow or the sun doesn’t shine blackout will be common.

Yeah, that’s what we need: Advice on energy production from a child (yes, child) who’s never had a real job and could not even pass a “Science for Poets) course in a community college.

Typical socialists - dumber than a rock with an even more stony personality.

Northeastern and California liberals want to fill flyover America with endless seas of wind turbines to spare the Blue Archipelago from having to generate its own electricity, which liberals think is the only acceptable power source to use but which is too dirty to make.

I would prefer to insist that each state by required to be self sufficient in electricity. If New York, Massachusetts and California want to cover themselves with wind turbines, so be it. If they don't want to clear cut their forests to make way for wind farms, they can choose between coal fired plants, natural gas fired plants, nuclear plants, or unicorn farts. If they choose the latter, let them freeze in the dark.

This is incredibly dangerous. It would take the economy and living standards back decades. The Germans are trying it, and energy poverty is a thing.

If you believe in global warming, the wide spread conversion to current generation of solar cells is an existential threat to humanity

Those organizations currently provide power from hydroelectric dams to 33 states, and would be able to sell the increased green energy to local utilities nationwide

***************

They won’t be selling much energy because the demand for it will plummet due to Bernie’s destructive economic policies.

Is anyone keeping track of how much all his schemes will cost the American taxpayer?

More hydropower seems nifty to someone who don’t mind displacing millions of people from their homes, disrupting ecosystems, annihilating numerous species, creating massive humidity zones that change regional weather, disrupting transport routes, etc. But communists don’t care about things like that.

While I personally am sympathetic to solar especially and some wind power, as backups to our more reliable traditional sources, we have to recognize just how corrupt and wasteful - As well as often just plain incompetent -, government often is. The more these things can be done in the “free market” the better, imho .
