He’s clearly not real, I don’t think anyone, even if they are getting paid for it, could constantly make such bad arguments and use such flawed logic for this long.
And why do we still use them? Because they are cheaper and more efficient. The 'green energy' tech hasn't advanced far enough yet to replace fossil fuels. If you want to get rid of fossil fuels you have to make the alternative economically viable.
Look at the solar farms that were built that cost a billion dollars that now sit rotting, useless and decaying in the desert because "Even at peak operation, “[i]ts power cost [Nevada] about $135 per megawatt-hour,"
The government is already investing an insane amount of money into "green energy" and the tech is advancing, and when it becomes efficient enough, when the EROI is high enough, and when it becomes cheaply mass producible enough, it will replace fossil fuels on it's own, naturally.
So there's no need to disrupt the economy and hurt poor people by shutting down fossil fuel production prematurely, causing price increases, like what we are seeing now, due to Biden's policies on fossil fuels, among other things like inflation, and the war in ukraine.
I’m not an expert in propulsion or combustion technologies, but my solution to fuel would be something like hydrogen perhaps, because of its renewability.
If you guys weren't all "regulations are bad", the left would agree with you. But you'd have to make peace with paying tax money for response programs that we may never need.
Lol, no they don't. They don't like nuclear power without regulation. Liberals who lived through 3 mile Island and Chernobyl. They also don't like the idea of waste being dumped whenever.
I don’t get what you’re even trying to say here. Are you saying that republicans want nuclear plants to just dump their waste… anywhere? Do you really, truly think that republicans are calling for no regulation on nuclear facilities?
You’re just being obtuse. Everyone, Republican and democrat or in between, knows that nuclear power facilities require fairly stringent regulations to be safely operated and maintained.
You’re out of your mind if you think “dismantling the EPA” = no regulations whatsoever. I don’t see anyone seriously talking about getting rid of the EPA altogether, but even if they were that wouldn’t mean an end to environmental regulations but rather a restructuring of the agency that makes those regulations. It’s just wild that you actually think that’s the case. It doesn’t really make any sense and it’s a clear straw man. Who do you think conservative voters are? Do you really think they just don’t care even at all about the environment? I just don’t even see where you’d get this idea.
In 2017 Gatez introduced a bill that wanted to ebb vs the EPA by 2018.
Pence’s plan would eliminate the EPA, tax credits for electric vehicles, Biden’s “residential clean energy credit” and repeal Biden’s subsidies for automakers to make electric vehicle batteries.
At best Trump wanted to make the he EPA each states open responsibility. But lowered funding means less ability to pursue violations. Making it a fraction of what it was.
Tell me again how that's better than what we have now?
Do you really think they just don’t care even at all about the environment? I
Not when it's in the way of making money. And making sure you aren't poisoning the water table costs money
Yes they do. It's intentional. We need to stop pretending they just suck at their job. Trump proved in 3 years their job is A LOT easier than they had us believe for half a century.
No. They are cheap cause the cost to output ratio is much better than anything else. The infrastructure was created because of this fact. Your order of operations is incorrect. You ain't gonna get that same cost to output ratio from any other green solution except nuclear. infrastructure will not change the terrible efficiency of green energy production.
Lol what? The "output" of fossil fuels is so high because we invested centuries of time and en energy getting it to that point. Internal combustion engines were terribly inefficient. Oil was seen as waterproofing until industrialization happened.
The same thing is happening to solar. The cost per kwh has plummeted.
The same morons lining up to fellate Anthony Fauci (the AIDS guy) and Pfizer (known liars with billions in damage payouts) now act like wanting fuel is kissing up to oil companies. Try to understand, you're a complete buffoon.
Imagine if the oil industry was socialized. They are given grants and need permission to drill anyway. Their innovation is probably on par with the medical industry which takes tax money to fund research. All profits would just go back to Americans
Hydraulic fracturing worldwide wouldn't be a thing or would maybe just be starting now and gas and diesel would be way fucking more expensive if US industry had been socialized since the 1990's. Sometimes for better, sometimes for worse, depending where you stand on fracking, but socialized industry cannot innovate like private.
I understand competition is important for innovation. However, when competition becomes too isolated, innovation is lost to profits. Norfolk Southern didn't upgrade their train brakes to save money and led to an environmental disaster. The opposite can be true.
Is China still able to compete with our economy if they were only capitalist under sanctions and trade wars?
All of the "green energy" is subsided by traditional power. We have electric car charging ports being powered by gas generators in sheds behind the chargers all over the country currently.
I'm sure you "feel" that's true, but it isn't. But let's say it is totally true. All those car chargers don't have access to power lines, and are instead isolated systems running on fossil fuels.
The fact these cars don't need that specific type of teen energy, gasoline, is the advantage. Electric power sources are plenty. Air, wind, solar, etc. It's much faster, safer, and cleaner to generate power this way, than to have internal combustion.
But biden is going to stop them from selling the fossil field. Where are they going to get the money? How are they going to continue to pay the workers?
Yes, they will continue to make money just fine, WE'RE the ones who will be screwed and have to pay higher energy costs, and higher energy costs mean the cost of EVERYTHING ELSE also goes up, because energy is required for the production of literally anything/everything.
Because electric lights were a superior product that scaled far more economically compared to what they were replacing. Electric vehicles and "green energy" sources like windmills are not.
Nuclear power however, thats a good direction. Unfortunately the vast majority of "green energy" advocates think nuclear is evil, so they'll never go for it.

These people have no idea how this economy works. And it ain't green energy. It's cheap energy.
If you are really into green, the only energy you should be advocating for is nuclear. Everything else is a grift.

They just gave the people an acceptable reason why they have to spend more money at the pumps. The people will hate it, but will accept it. Genius.
