Biden thinks he’s a king

@Lila15 killing energy jobs hurts our economy and who makes 80% of the solar cells ? China
Who will drill more oil and take over our energy exports ? China

@Lila15 plus getting us into that Paris agreement hurts our economy while China gets a free pass to keep polluting

@Driver2 All of this is speculation. American firms will make solar cells if there is a demand for them.

@Lila15 if they made as many of solar panels and built more windmills , all together they can power California. What does the other 49 states do for power?
Electric cars , when you charge them up where dies the power originate from ? Power plants that run on mostly fossil fuels , there is no electricity fairy 🧚‍♂️

@Driver2 This is the US profile of where electricity comes from.

Natural gas - 38%
Coal - 23%
Nuclear - 20%
Petroleum - 1%
Renewables - 17% (wind, hydro, solar, biomass, and geothermal)

We shouldn't be getting all of our energy from any one source. There's plenty of room to expand renewables. We're a long way from power by 100% renewable energy. We don't have an infinite supply of fossil fuels. Between the midpoint to the end of this century, we will have fusion power which is totally green and completely renewable - basically unlimited.

Anyway, elections have consequences. If you don't like what Biden is doing, vote for someone else in 2024 instead of complaining about hypothetical disasters that haven't happened yet.

@Lila15 don’t buy those numbers
If we do get fusion it would be great

@Lila15 62% of total energy is from fossil fuels
Solar and wind won’t cut it

@Driver2 Currently. We need to move in the direction of more renewables even if they can’t supply all of our energy needs. Clinging to fossil fuels because you think coal is more “American” is ridiculous.

@Lila15 shutting down our energy industry is not transitioning
Plus would you rather frack and drill here or in countries that don’t care if they pollute?
As long as we need fossil fuels it makes more sense to do it I. This country. We can keep the controls and the jobs here .

Speaking if fossils look at the president and the congressional leadership.

@Driver2 Stop overdramatizing. No one is shutting down our fossil fuel industry. The energy sector is just expanding into other areas. I don’t know why you would oppose that.

I supported Mayor Pete, so you don’t have to tell me about old politicians.

@Lila15 Biden just stopped the pipeline and is going to stop fracking and drilling on public lands . They are also going to shut down coal. Wind and solar will fold without government subsidies.
Remember the 500 billion Obama gave Solyndra ? They took the 500 billion and filed for bankruptcy.
Solar and wind cannot produce energy efficiently and all the child like liberal lies cannot change that.
And mayor pete knows nothing about the transportation industry.
Just because he met his boyfriend in an airport .
He wants a mileage tax. So now we will pay more for gas and pay more for driving per mile.

@Driver2 Why don't you list all of the solar projects under Obama that were successful? I guess if Sean Hannity didn't mention them, they didn't happen. 94% of the companies under that program didn't go bankrupt.

Buttigieg promoted a public transportation program in South Bend when he was mayor, that revitalized the city. He knows a lot more about transportation than Elaine Chao, who Trump picked only because she's married to Mitch McConnell. Chao was Labor secretary under George W. Bush, so I guess according to you, she's multi-talented. She's definitely good at steering taxpayer funds to her family.

Solar and wind power are appropriate in certain areas even if they can't meet all of our energy needs. Are you saying we shouldn't have them at all and should only rely on fossil fuels? You don't seem to be able to comprehend that I'm advocating for a balanced energy sector that produces power from a variety of sources.

@Lila15 name a successful Obama solar project that makes money on its own

What experience does he have in transportation?

@Driver2 Agua Caliente in Yuma County AZ at 300 MW is the largest solar facility in the world. Funded in 2014 under Obama’s DOE Loan Programs Office. The LPE has made over one billion in profit for the government as of 2015. So I’d say Obama was successful in this area.

I already said that Buttigieg improved public transportation in South Bend as mayor. What experience did Elaine Chao have?

Regardless, Pete is smart and capable of handling it. I would have preferred him for Secretary of State but there was no way they were going to give him that.

What qualified Mike Pompeo for SoS other than being a Trump fan?

@Lila15 than he did get one right . Too bad he had to give his donors 500 billion tax dollars that they lost at Solyndra .
Mayor Pete has no knowledge of transportation or how an economy works . Pompeo did a good job.
In any event there is no reason to kill all those good jobs to please the leftist elite.

I never trusted Chao her sister is too connected to China.

@Driver2 That’s just one example. As I said, 94% of them were successful.

Pompeo may be the worst SoS in US history.

At least we agree on Chao. So you admit that Trump made a mistake in picking her?
