Will the GOP ever realise the future of energy belongs to renewables

Or ar they so deep in the fossilfuel industrys pockets that they will never do it even when renewable energy manufacturing of equipment greatly benefit their districts and states as it is doing now thanks to Biden.

Why do you think this have you looked at solar?
1 how long do solar panels last? 20-30 years with proper maintenance.
2 how much does it cost to recycle a solar panel? costs anywhere from $20 to $30 to recycle a single solar panel, and the recovered materials are worth just $2 to $4. Meanwhile, sending a solar panel to a landfill only costs a dollar or two.
3 wind power how long do wind mills last. 20-40 years only produce based on amount of wind. Typically the better choice.
4 the one no one is talking about Nuclear energy Is by far the cheapest and most reliable.
5 hydro electric These are extremely expensive to create but typical lifespan is 50 to a 100 years. Very few are currently being built and many are being taken off line and the dam removed.

@dale74 Technology and storage is improving very fast in the renewable energy industry

@Spotpot it is not there and the waste and cost from some does not promote the recycling

Support China, go solar

@Virgo79 Manufacuter solar power in the USA rather than China and compete with China for the future of energy.

@Spotpot sounds good but joe will never buck china.

For now, what the gOP thinks about it is irrelevant, they are responding to the big money thrown at them by old stuffy energy companies.
Maybe, but why pretend that we'll have a future with capitalism using us this way? The Dems are no better on that issue.

Dems/libs are against nuclear. Grow up

How's your solyndra stock doing?
They are quick to point out the flaws in renewable energy sources, and claim that for that reason, we should just give up and continue to use our limited resources until they run out. They don't want to change. They are dinosaurs.
