Democrats believe they can win back rural voters by ratcheting up their pre-election mission of moving the country from fossil fuels to green energy.

Green energy to bring in corn crops for green energy is like perpetual motion. Like Bush, liberals think that growing saw grass will make the US viable in self energy.

Apparently ethanol has worked well for farmers. A bit of a boondoggle (IMO).

And when we finally figure it that it is all a dud, it will be too late. Energy (heating our home, fuel for our cars, food,... EVERYTHING) will be unaffordable. We need cheap energy and right now green energy cant cut it... and it never will.

What TRUMP voter would listen to legislators who skip out on TRUMP’S inauguration? RURAL TRUMP VOTERS are PATRIOTIC!

Since it hasn’t resulted in appreciable jobs in 8 years, it won’t work now.

So, here’s the formula.

We know what’s best for you.
We want to you do what we want.
We will first take away your options.
Then we will force you to make purchases you don’t want.
It will cost more.
Shut up, we know what is best.
Do this. Or else.
Send us a thank you note to make us feel good.

Yeah. Like where they idle all the coal miners and then retrain them for solar panel installation jobs. Except those Green jobs pay a fraction of what they used to make and mostly don’t exist. Oops.

So, by raising the electric rates of rural people due to some pipe dream, they can win over rural voters?

You should find a wild patch of creasy greens and try those. It’s actually wild watercress. Grows all over the place in milder temperate climates, well into winter. First green of the spring, too. A little on the pungent side but if you can hang with mustard greens and poke wallet you can hang with creases.
