Also, the conversion of our economy to solar and wind power is happening incredibly faster than any government projections ever predicted. Current projections would require a MASSIVE divestment away from these technologies to occur. Coal is absolutely dead. We probably will be 80% reliant on solar and wind power within 20 years. Last year, the market share for renewable energy grew 3%. I don’t mean that renewable energy grew by 3%, which would mean that at the current rate of growth, renewable energy could barely keep up with increased demand, if at all. Rather, I mean that its market share grew so fast that within 33 years, even at a linear growth rate, it would reach 100%.

The use of coal is growing rapidly in countries that are not suicidal. Electric vehicles are much heavier and thus require more power than an ICE vehicle. Oil and coal extraction are less energy intensive and cleaner than lithium. CO2 is not a pollutant. Electricity is far more expensive than oil and gas. A warming climate may be a good thing for humanity and rising CO2 levels are greening the Planet. Government intervention in energy policy will cause much more suffering than the imagined problem being pushed by the Global Communist movement.
