Wishful thinking from a fool.
Wishful thinking.
“Just like those manufacturing jobs that were never coming back.”
Oh yeah—forgot about that—you are so right.
“Clean energy?” Oh I’m sorry, did someone invent an engine that runs on cold fusion?
And the way they are doing it, there is also no way back. Wind and solar sources, in and of themselves, are just too expensive and unreliable to carry even a small part of the demand. Or, are we expected to CURB our demands to get into line with the sputtering and ultimately uneconomic very bad experiment.
Fifteen years from now, those huge fields of solar collectors and windmill towers will be as obsolete as landline telephones. But they shall leave vast mounds of essentially unrecyclable waste in their wake, to somehow be dealt with by future generations. Eventually the need for both abundant and relatively inexpensive electrical power will reassert itself, and the more nearly correct solutions may finally be applied. Somebody, somewhere, will finally recognize that carbon-based fuels do NOT produce anything like "global warming", that there are ways to utilize coal as a clean-burning fuel (since it shall have been determined that carbon dioxide is not, and never was, a "pollutant"), and nuclear power will be accepted, because evolving technology no longer requires a large land base or extraordinary techniques to protect against massive escapes of radiation through accidents or acts of sabotage. Thus, the power generation facilities may be located in close proximity to the point of the power consumption. Every little town, and even major cities, no longer would need to have power lines extending for miles to serve power up through what may be a very vulnerable grid, but to be localized and quickly recovered in the event of unanticipated outages.

Do your own research.
I have and this is the best solution.
When he dies.
He's putting it off as long as possible because the prospect of shoveling coal in Hell does not appeal to him in the slightest on so many levels!
The problem is that, when we get a 10-20 year period with very unreliable, high priced power, we will be very vulnerable to our enemies. There won’t be reliable, plentiful power to run industry or defense. When the whole mania finally collapses, we will have to rebuild what we destroyed. That’ll take another 10 to 20 years. I predict 20 to 40 years in the energy wilderness with misery everywhere and ascendant enemies.
I rather concur with that idea. Those who are against our present forms of energy from the ground can surely easily live without them, can’t they?
“Those who are against our present forms of energy from the ground can surely easily live without them, can’t they?”
They need to live a pure Carbon Free Life. As an example....
[Cut them off from any food containing Carbon, too]
WHEN is this horse’s azz going to give it up??>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
He has all that Heinz 57 money behind him.
He flies a lot, and does not wear a parachute or have one in his plane.
Maybe he will give a huge Klaus Schwab New World Order speech near the Donbas.
