Mrs rktman visited Armenia shortly after the USSR fell apart and has many tales of lack of power during her stay. Yeah, bring on the solar and wind turbines.

Not invite, require. Once again the punditry are far to nice in their analysis of the fully intended results.

[Rurudyne]

I think that’s the intention. Watermelon Reds are about tearing down society for their fetid Revolution just like all other Marxist.

Socialist and third world countries are the worst examples of environmental messes.

The best thing for the environment are strong, capitalist-fueled economies where these things can be handled correctly.

Otherwise, you just get 55 gallon drums full of toxins dumped into random lakes or rivers in the middle of the night.

The problem will be more than just third-world type blackouts. We will lose what little industry we have left. After all, you can’t run a steel mill on solar panels.

We lose. China wins. Again.

The under 40 crowd is thoroughly indoctrinated on this point. They are convinced that human caused climate change is an existential threat and will accept nearly anything in the name of fighting climate change.

Expect things to get much, much worse in America.

Amazing how well the MSM has used “Lies By Omission” to hide the latest, in depth study, which has shown corn based Ethanol in our fuel, actually increases CO2 emissions by 25-35% when the entire production cycle from planting, harvesting, processing, burning Ethanol are included.

At total blackout of this information as it is one of the very few studies not done by the Corn Industry.

I hear every criticism against the communist leaders in the west pretending to be socialist and control us through their "green" energy policies and I agree with you wholeheartedly.

IMHO, the best remedy is to take matters into your own hands. I have a fairly large solar array on my roof precisely because the Dims in our country are jacking up energy costs and, IMHO, using that as part of how they control us. If you own your house and are in good conditions for solar (i.e. live in the south), then get a large solar system like I did. Mine will pay for itself in about 10-11 years, and that assumes only a reasonable 3% inflation rate on electricity costs (obviously it has gone up a lot more lately, with the Dims promising even more pain).

Or keep complaining and saying "somebody outta do something" about the Dims' energy policies.

This goes to The Left's penchant for redefining long-accepted scientific terms in their effort to twist their meaning to their purposes. Take, for instance, "organic" food production.

All food is organic (as defined by Jöns Jacob Berzelius in 1806), else there could be no nourishment derived from it.

Likewise, all energy is renewable because (in accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics in a Closed Reacting System) energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only caused to change forms.

The Watermelon's/Socialist's general ignorance always gives them away. And their wackadoodle concept of what makes for "renewable" energy is guaranteed to force us to revert to a 19th-Century lifestyle.
