Actually, the Left wants all energy converted from solar, wind and hydroelectric. They want to eliminate fossil fuels altogether. That’s what the whole climate change hooey is all about - getting the world weaned off of oil and gas. Oddly, they demonize nuclear power which is both “clean” and renewable.
The Left supports Iran getting nuclear power.
Stalinists lie. Always
The issue is never the issue
Climate change is about seizing the means of production from industry through agriculture.
The Left's use of climate change is, and always has been, about the change of economic systems from capitalism, which is fueled by fossil fuels, to socialism (and eventually communism), which is controlled by big government. That is why they want to get rid of fossil fuels. It would destroy the capitalist, free-enterprise system.
The issue has never been about saving the planet or environmentalism or the levels of CO2 or temperature of the earth or any of the other myriad of arguments about the climate. The climate is just a convenient vehicle or ruse they use to argue the subject to convince the public of the need for change.
Actually, the Left could care less about the climate. They only care about the power and big government control that socialism and communism will bring them.
It's easier to convince the public we need changes to protect the climate and the earth than it is to convince them of discarding capitalism in favor of socialism.
This is why I learned early on to never get into the long weeds when arguing climate change with liberals. Gore's platitudes and "The Inconvenient Truth" were really the convenient lies of liberals trying to convince the public without ever having to argue the benefits of socialism.
