“Green energy” is “energy that earns the green”.

So what does renewable electricity have to do with cars?

Stupid. Except in big cities like New York or Boston you need a car. What they really hate:
1. the independence that a car gives
2. the fact that some have a better car than others. Everybody should drive the same car (except the ruling elite).

Well does that mean a comeback of the the horse and carriage? I know the buggy whip manufactures will be happy.

All of this sustainable energy will not work the way these idiots think and there is no way they can achieve a 75% goal.

Now of they embrace Thorium Power plants then they make a different and better progress.

No, they’d have to kill the horses and recycle them into food because they emit greenhouse gases.

since the states are making this goal “mandatory,” it is obvious that we can stop paying the Production Tax Credit.

"residents will have to ditch automobiles and embrace a whole new way of life"

Except for CEOs, politicians, and entertainers.

"There is no such thing as climate change free energy. Physics requires that all energy production affects climate change. There is no way around the physics. Solar panels cause less light reflection from the surface of the planet. Wind Turbines decrease the energy in the atmosphere. Nuclear power plants release massive amounts of water vapor."

Why is why they will decide - in fact, have already decided - that the human population must be reduced by 80-90%. They just haven't figured out a way to sell that to the public yet, or - more likely - to force it on the public without a mass revolt.

I am confused. The Act is about electricity generation. Why the emphasis on cars?

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

Liberals love imaginary hypotheticals. That is a lot of what they do. Behind virtually every Leftwing proposal is an imaginary hypothetical.

In the real world, their “solutions” fail, because they are based on false premises.

Red states need to mandate molten salt nuclear, Thorium, or fusion by the same time range. The whole population will live in red states, and blue states will be our parks.
