He doesn’t like coal. According to the pie chart, coal currently provides half of our current energy needs. By his anti-carbon logic, he shouldn’t like gas either. He just isn’t singling them out today.

He doesn’t mention investing in nuclear, even though we get a lot, and could get a lot more, energy from nuclear. He wants to invest huge government revenues into wind, solar and other renewables, 2.4% of the pie. Maybe we could double the amount of energy we receive from these sources.

If he has his way, we will have far less energy, and what we have will cost much more. Look forward to heating your home with firewood in winter, even if the great one makes doing so illegal. The cost of US manufacturing depends in part on the cost of energy. As energy costs go sky high, more US jobs will be lost.

He’s setting this country up for a Dr. Zhivago scenario.
