“it just means the taxpayer is paying for it”

Not with a TWO TRILLION DOLLAR deficit in 2023 and TRILLION DOLLAR deficits as far as the eye can see.

Those massive deficits cause inflation, so I guess could argue we DO pay for it through the extra $11,000 all of us are paying for the necessities of life in 2023...and every year thereafter.

“International Energy Agency (IEA)”.... awfully deceptive name for an unofficial unrepresentative organization that really isn’t an “agency.”

"That does it for me, ALL Public Buildings shall use 100% renewable energy and shall be free of fossil fuels."

Great plan but it needs an addition: Must start with the White house and congress buildings. .

2015 is also when the Turkish economist Fatih Birol took the helm of that organization.

Yes agree, renewables are nirvana, cheaper,safer for the environment ….. no need for tax breaks and credits
Carry on ,
(In best Colombo voice) just one more question is that why several of the wind projects of the eastern coast were cancelled?

All Federal Buildings in DC should run on renewable energy, especially in summer.

“Renewables are reaching the point where they are outcompeting fossil fuels on price “

Absolute Steaming Lie! Nothing but pure BS!

Monday and Tuesday there were 6 planes spraying 24/7 here in West Texas. The sky went from totally clear to completely covered in gray slush. Believe it, they are insane, otherwise how are you going to get rid of 7 and on half billion useless eaters to make way for the 500 million remaining elites.

ROTFLMAO! Firstly a tax break is not a subsidy. Secondly, I have to wonder what you’re smoking if you think oil and gas get anywhere near the massive subsidies doled out to so-called “renewables”.

Our forests will all be stripped naked if they ban coal, oil and natural gas. There’ll be big money in fast-growing firewood tree plantations.

“...at which point the West will start to build coal plants again.”

And ALL of the plants will be imported from India and China along with the Indian and Chinese engineers to build and run them because we will have lost all our technical capability for 50 years. We’ll have solar and wind engineers out the wazoo, but nobody will want them. Then some future president can tell them all to “Learn to code.”
