On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher argued that when people try to get off fossil fuels before there is a replacement ready, “they wind up going back to even worse fossil fuels.” And that this has happened in the United States and President Joe Biden going to Saudi Arabia “hat in hand, begging them for oil” after vowing to reduce oil drilling is an example of that.
After citing Biden’s pledge to end drilling on federal lands, Maher stated, “Let’s just talk about why these things really happen, it’s because people think that they can — look, I wish we were all off fossil fuels forever. But the truth is that when people get off fossil fuels before they have a replacement, they wind up going back to even worse fossil fuels. Germany said, we don’t want nuclear power anymore, which is the cleanest, and what did they have to go back to? Coal. And basically, the same thing happened here. We said, Saudi Arabia, go f*ck yourself, you killed a journalist and now, Biden is going over there, hat in hand, begging them for oil. Because people want their gas.”

Stopped clock, etc.
Don’t try to sound reasonable now Maher. You wished the economy would tank even though millions of people would get hurt so your team could win. Well you got what you wanted.
I guess its easy to wish for something like that when you’ve got 10s of millions of dollars from a career in entertainment so it won’t affect you and you’re too selfish to care about anybody else.
” get off fossil fuels before there is a replacement ready”.
Insanity or senility???
“You voted for it bill”
Regardless, he’s pinpointed Biden’s mistake, and the mistake of a lot of others.
I don’t know if he has been red-pilled or just identified and is trying to exploit a market-segment. But he is necessarily using logic, not emotion, and if it has the same outcome as the Limbaugh Effect, I am all for it.
Without fossil fuels, the nation will stop. Wind power cannot produce plastic and what among our products does not contain plastic?
I lived with my folks on the lake when the gas rationing was going on. We quickly discovered that the gas depot at the marina had no lines, no “even day - odd day” requirements and plenty of gas.
We would collect up a half dozen outboard motor tanks and fill them up. Later we would transfer the gas to our vehicles.
Those were the days...
Democrats have never planned ahead for anything, and they’ve done it deliberately.
They create a crisis each, and every time, with assistance of their evil minions, in order to be able to take away more of our rights.
not just biden

the next elected democrat will do the same

tyranny
Tried to Get off Fossil Fuels without a Replacement,
= = =
What would that replacement be?
Martian Fuel?
From the Martians that used to inhabit the Earth?
???
With the exception of nuclear power for electricity, there is NO replacement.
Well, he is one of Maher’s people.
Yeah, all stupid. Like throwing away the oars with no other means to move the boat.
