John Hinderaker has a post about the futility of a green energy economy in, appropriately, his Powerline blog ... see: Batteries: a Forlorn Hope ... be sure to watch the video. If the greenies reject out of hand nuclear power generation, their dream of a fossil-fuel-free economy will never come about. Hear that Angela? She must be as detached from reality as Joe ... and Elon ... although I think Elon knows he is ... he is just playing the greenies for suckers.

Coal. That’s our future. Trump made a point of it, Mitch McConnell greases legislation for it, our EPA cabinet has coal people guiding it, and our utterly unqualified UN rep is married to coal money.
And Democrat candidate, Tom Steyer, made his billions from coal mines ... how ironic!
I also have to add ... you conveniently use the issue of coal to ignore the message of this blog ... that we will never replace hydrocarbons (or nuclear) with wind and solar. Or is this to uncomfortable?
Not uncomfortable at all. Yet building renewable sources for part of demand is prudent. Some countries are already substantially free from hydrocarbons and nuclear with hydroelectric covering the down time of the others. I would certainly prefer to invest what our military spends/wastes into our domestic infrastructure of power supplies and transportation instead.
Prudent but expensive. And try building one more hydro-electric dam in the US. The snail darter must be saved ... even if it costs hundreds of billion dollars. AOC studied economics at BU ... but apparently never learned anything about cost-benefit trade-offs.
Ah yes. Like cost-benefit trade-offs of devouring several trillion dollars of blood and treasure in the Middle East over 18 years with no real accomplishments in the politics or infrastructure there.
Are we including BO’s “surge” in Afghanistan? If so, I will agree.
Only if you can further trash Obama, eh? That was Bush/Cheney’s war. And Trump said he would definitely extract US troops immediately. America has achieved perpetual war...
There is a difference ... Bush/Chaney did what they did, however misguided, because of patriotism. Obama re-fought the “good war” in Afghanistan (very badly) for cynical political gain ... of which he got some ... but his country paid the price ... and we are still paying it.
You certainly consume a lot of that GOP Kool-Ade
We’re you asleep when Obama put over 100,000 US troops into Afghanistan as an attempted repeat of Bush 43 ‘s surge ... and then had them sit on their hands for 2 years? They were a huge waste of money and blood ... all for Obama’s political posturing. Disgusting!
