When people can’t heat their homes next winter, I’ll be sure to tell them how they’re saving the environment- while China keeps on polluting and increasing their economy and military. Short sightedness is something they don’t suffer from.
Since we live in Colorado and I have lots of experience living off the grid, solar always made more sense for me. Less maintenance than wind power right now, and solar here is more dependable than wind.
Battery tech is the key, and we have been seeing massive gains over the past twenty years. Hopefully we can store the solar power for the limited times the sun doesn't shine.
Of course, I also think currently natural gas is even a better power source and love that our utilities in Colorado have been switching from coal to that source lately.

Not for long. It will get very expensive now that fracking is being shut down. Solar is great in Colorado but would be moronic here. It probably rains half the days here at least. Wind would be even worse. Also, where will all the money come from for people to switch to whatever inferior power source becomes thrust on them by this illegitimate administration?
Usurper Biden’s press secretary mocked the Space Force yesterday. Good thing Biden is relying so heavily on the military to keep him in power, shutting down DC and not allowing any peasants to get close. The joke isn’t the Space Force, but rather, Jen Psaki. “I’ll circle back to you on that one...”
It is my belief that Innovation is a good thing...we can NOT continue on the same path of past energy.
WE HAVE ONE EARTH....your home is rapidly deteriorating into a ecological,catastrophic collapse.
WE have yet to discover NEW EARTH....and are heading towards the SIXTH extinction.

I know the official talking points for conservatives is to condemn the temporary fracking shutdown but it isn't as horrible as described. Right now the world is up to their eyeballs in oil and natural gas. Biden's ban is only on federal land, so fracking can continue on private land in Colorado. And while Colorado is mostly federal land, other states like Texas are predominately private property. Joe's EO is just a plum for his enviro allies. (Remember when Democrats were more concerned about good blue collar jobs for their voters?)

Usurper Biden’s whole reign so far has been a push to put Americans out of work. Between immigration, work visas, regulations and outright bans, he is even alienating unions. Did you catch the latest about vaccines? Illegal aliens get them before we do.

Unintended consequences? President Biden doesn't want to put Americans out of work. He doesn't want high unemployment numbers for his first 100 days. Unfortunately too many of the people who are the power behind the throne do seem to care more about getting their agenda passed and could care less about the results.
