This is actually good news. For a small commission, Hunter Biden can probably get us a nice discount.

Bidet can boycott China after they invade Taiwan, then order everyone to have electric vehicles, and voila, America becomes a third world country!

DUH! The EPA has closed our industries down. They are long gone. I don’t even think you can mine Lead ore in America anymore.

So as Kerry says, those pipeline workers can get a job in China.

Why are we hearing about this now.
We should have already been warned about this sooner.
Oh wait, we were.
That was why the Trump Administration put America and American Companies First.
Another thing,
Why aren’t the environmentalists complaining since both solar and wind turbines are not biodegradable....
Hmm 🤔

The USA spent decades balancing its trade in oil / energy with the help of oil-industry innovation and fracking

Now we are proposing to go back to the situation of the 1970s - by switching to inefficient “renewables” energy - the source of which we do not control

But as a country, we are in a MUCH worse position to handle such a situation. Our national debt is through the roof, and current account deficit and trade deficits are blowing out also. The dollar, while still the most widely held reserve currency, is engendering a lot more international opposition than it did 45 years ago. Energy has been under-invested recently, and a dominant left will force production cuts.

Biden and the Left is enforcing trends that will lead to a massive inflation and energy crisis in the not-to-distant future.

They bury the wind turbine blades in special landfills. No recycling what so ever.

I can’t say about the solar panels if they attempt to melt them to recapture the silver. The might be able to crush them very finely and leach the silver out with cyanide.

Well if they can’t make solar panels, then let them learn to code.

They can then move to India and get a contract jobs as an H1B worker where they will be first in lime before American workers.

This is long known fact, just hushed up by media.
Practically all the “green” energy sources are made in China. Not because of the cheaper workforce, but mainly because the huge amount of energy needed and the pollution created by making them.
Thanks to the green energy policies in Europe and in USA, the energy is just too expensive. China bankrupted all European green energy producers and most of the US.
Remember - Solar cells and windmills do not really give out too much net energy. They about break even on the energy budget over the lifetime. Often they do not even break even! They are more like batteries that power sources over lifetime.
So somebody somewhere has to burn fossil fuel to make them! China is the only place one can make them cheaply.
We cannot burn coal, but we can export it to China. They can burn it there and make the solar cells we proudly install and feel good about ourselves. Of course the CO2 will get here from China anyway.

This is a simple question

Name the only thing on planet earth ; that will make electricity ; with no moving parts. No moving parts allowed
