These leftists want control of energy use because that gives them control of the means of production, the goal of communists since day one (or year zero).
“The Great Iggy” does know how to count and he responds:
This may or may not be a useful, profitable technology but "eye catching" is not the term for a pointless hyperbolic statement like the above. That's like the claims for how much energy the sun deposits on earth's surface each day.
We cannot tap .1% of the earth's heat content or even a meaningful fraction of .1% of it any more than we can or should want to coat the surface of the earth with solar panels.
If we had any damned brains or weren't under the spell of prog imbeciles we would build whatever is the cheapest energy source and enjoy the benefits of it, including a greening, wetter planet if one of the cheap source's side effects was increased CO2.
Yes they want control of energy BUT, more important they want control of OUR LIVES!!
Don’t let them.
Get rid of democrats!!
