This isn’t really news to those of us that have some common sense and at least a basic understanding of math. I like the idea of hydrogen though, but we’re not ready for that yet. Wind is just not reliable and very expensive, and solar requires mining which is not the best for our environment and both wind power mechanisms and solar panel production are mostly provided by the not so friendly country of China. We have years and years of gas, oil and coal that can be burned cleanly and efficiently. Yeas coal can be burned much cleaner than years ago, and gas is very clean. As far as creating jobs, well, they really mean a transfer of jobs thinking a miner can automatically become a solar panel worker. Eliminate one job for another using robots probably.
I disagree. The left knew they were putting free Americans into a bind. Their cult followers are the only ones who couldn’t connect the dots.
It wasn’t overlooked. They want us in cities on public transportation.
One more thing if I may. Not very well published is that each wind turbine takes on average about 800 gallons of oil to lubricate all of the moving parts. This has to be changed every so often. Plans to build hundreds of these bird killing machines off shore and on land are in the works. Can anyone guarantee no leaks? And where is all of that oil coming from?
Stupid people with plans have consequences. Climate cultist will destroy the earth trying to save it. Solar farms are an ecological disaster along with lithium and other precious metals mines for batteries and wind farms all of which kill numerous animals as well.
There’s a small lunatic fringe that seems to running everything.
But but but, there are winmills and solar panuls.
Our government basically operates at this level.
Ha Ha!
We took a vacation with another couple several years ago.
It was an off grid cabin up Slumgullion Pass near Lake City, CO.
The cabin had propane lights and frig.
My wife and her friend usually split the hair dryer, curling iron, and other item women bring with them on trips.
Wife’s friend says she will bring hair dryer. My wife tells her the place is off grid.
Wife’s friend says she is aware of that, but surely they have a few plugins.
We’ve known this since the beginning. The other eye opener is that electricity is dependent on fossil fuels for production.
Nuclear Power is the Most Reliable Energy Source and It's Not Even Closehttps://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/nuclear-power-most-reliable-energy-source-and-its-not-even-close

There have been two major reactor accidents in the history of civil nuclear power – Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi. Chernobyl involved an intense fire without provision for containment, and Fukushima Daiichi severely tested the containment, allowing some release of radioactivity.These are the only major accidents to have occurred in over 18,500 cumulative reactor-years of commercial nuclear power operation in 36 countries.
The evidence over six decades shows that nuclear power is a safe means of generating electricity. The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low and declining. The consequences of an accident or terrorist attack are minimal compared with other commonly accepted risks. Radiological effects on people of any radioactive releases can be avoided. - https://www.world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/safety-of-nuclear-power-reactors.aspx

“as no one considered how much electricity would be needed”
Not true, but everyone who warned was completely ignored.
They chose to not know that or they simply ignored what they did know and deliberately did this, knowing the consequences.
I still remember 50 years ago when “they” ONLY wanted to ban Nuclear Power.
I still remember magazine adds, 55 years ago by the power companies trying to convince the public that “scrubbers” on coal plants was a joke.
One back to earth magazine suggested coal be replaced by wood. Then they figured it would take “ONLY” 25 square miles of forest to keep one in operation, considering the new help to cut and move the logs.
Lots of schemes and dreams by the hare brained hippie movement were tried and failed back then.
Whenever the government is involved, there is lack of planning and common sense and a sense of reality. Oh, and it’s always a waste of money.
There never has been ANY real “plan” from the Biden administation, on it’s “green” initiatives to anything else - Afghanistan, Ukraine, Israel includde. They have acted on everything as if they can just make dictates and mandates and things will. on their own, fall into place.
MATH IS HARD
ACTUALLY THINKING AHEAD IS MUCH HARDER, APPARENTLY
And we can just give free extension cords to the less fortunate.
Well, we pointed that out here, but obviously the experts in government are much smarter.
