Will the Left Kill America's Energy Dominance?

If the "liberal" green movement had the political power during earlier periods of our nation's history that it has now, we would not have built the railroads. Also, there would be no interstate highway system, and the electric grid system that powers our country would be disconnected and shattered.

What else can one conclude when a significant and vital energy pipeline, the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline from West Virginia into the southern states, has been canceled because of environmental activist opposition? Another pipeline, the Dakota Access Pipeline, has been suspended by a federal judge's order in recent days. Even the urgently needed Keystone XL Pipeline, which will transport natural gas and oil from energy-rich areas in Canada and the Dakotas down to Houston for export and delivery across the country, faces a court-ordered injunction. These actions are all said to be in the name of wetlands preservation, Endangered Species Act issues and other environmental protections.

It isn't safeguarding the safety of our nation. It is sabotaging it.

Are you foreseeing a breakthrough on Mr. Fusion or zero point energy?

Yep, that is no joke. F the damn media in this country for covering this up, people have no idea the kind of danger they are facing. I tell people who live in the suburbs, if Biden wins, get ready to move to the ghetto because that’s where they are going. And why do they think the Marxists are so eager to defund if not outright ban the police? Because the police take an oath to support the constitution, that doesn’t fit in with the commie police state. Expect the military to be changed as well.

Why not? They seem to want to kill or ruin everything else.

Only if they had some way to regain power. Oil, coal, and all the rest will have little to no value as fuel in the near future. Ask General Kwast about our need for a Space Force.

Houses will be able to store a months worth of electricity in their garage, collected locally, affordably.

I would love to hear what you know of this cheap power generation and storage method.

On September 22, Tesla will announce new battery technology which will initially be for autos, but will eventually apply to homes and be so cheap that you can bank electricity for an entire season. Solar collectors or off peak grid will charge them up, or charge them from your electric car.

But a month’s worth of power? 2,000-4,000 KwHrs?

Solar collectors are still expensive and inefficient.
