Yeah?

riddle me this then, uhmmmm numbers lady:
Sunlight & wind are too energy-dilute. Solar/wind projects need ~300x more land, 300% more copper, and 700% more rare earths than fossil fuels, making them prohibitively expensive.

How is that going to work?

Or

Wind/solar/batteries require: 1,000% more steel, concrete and glass; 300% more copper; and 4,200%, 2,500%, 1,900%, and 700% more lithium, graphite, nickel, and rare earths, respectively, than fossil fuels, to produce the same amount of energy, according to IEA and others.

Are you mathing?

China’s market share of renewables/EV minerals is 2x OPEC’s share of oil. The U.S. is dependent on imports for 100% of 17 renewables/EV-critical minerals; for 28 others, imports account for >50% of domestic demand.

Is there National Security Issue on this?

So who is going to eventually be screwed as China currently dominates our domestic energy policy?

Idiot.

You really don’t take all their smoke and mirrors seriously, do you? It all to appease the greenies and their and the bulk of the population that feels empathy for all their supporting causes. In the real world the the golbalist elites will cut you power, water, food and fuel off in a New York Minute if they, their fortunes or assets were threatened. The only way back is a worldwide rebellion against accrual of massive wealth. This should never have been permitted to happen. To do so guarantees the corruption of states, governments and politicians. There is a reckoning to be had and it needs to be brutal. Anything less will just see the perpetuation of the existing oligarchy. The deep state is world wide.
