“”” think of our power needs like a cake. All wind and solar can ever hope to be is the frosting.”””
Without subsidies wind and solar would not even be the frosting.
With oil prices at $40 per barrel and natural gas at $3 mmcf, wind and solar cannot compete.
We all need to remember that it was Trump who removed the regulatory hurdles and lawsuits imposed by Obama and Biden that caused the United States to become TOTALLY self sufficient energy country. And because of Trump the USA is no longer held hostage by the Middle East and Russia when it comes to energy supplies. There is a reason gasoline is $2.00 per gallon today and that is Trump.
There really has been no reason for Russia. dependent on petroleum exports to sustain their economy would ever support Trump for President. All the oil exports have spent money to support our politicians who are opposed to our energy self sufficiency.
