American Energy Independence VS The Biden Plan

Pizza

Joe Biden is The Big Guy
It's not something they hide.


In January 2008 when he was running for President, then-Senator Obama, said, “[E]lectricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…. [W]hatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money onto consumers.”

What good is any fake energy treaty if China gets a free pass?
Punishment for us, meanwhile China is free to build coal plants.

Will Cash for Clunkers be coming back ?
I could use a nice electric work truck that can handle launching boats into salt water and carrying lobster crates dripping with salt water coming out of its bed.

Don't forget India. Between China and India they are putting up more coal fired power plants than ANY conservation effort by the USA could even dream of overcoming. California wild fires are more harmful to the atmosphere than all the coal power plants in the USA combined .

Yeah, that's right, we are evil white imperialists, the playing field must be leveled.
I believe that is a big part of this

American sucks and must be taught a lesson. If we let China dominate, America will cease to be the world's lone superpower.

Good luck building a nuke plant. Wind and solar are ok, but they cannot meet our requirements.
During a really bad cold freeze all the wind turbines in the UK froze.
Leaving the country with less energy available just when it was needed the most.

And how come nobody wants to talk about what happens to the wind turbine blades when they expire ?
There is no recycling program established for them , so they get buried into the ground.
Where's the "savings" from all this.

How much energy do they net? Can't be that great if without substantial government help, no one is building these. Same with solar.

How come all the wind turbine ( made in India ) are so large ?
Could a bank of smaller turbines be easier to maintain and provide as much power.

My state has literally thousands of wind turbines and have never heard of them freezing up in the Winter. Never heard of them causing cancers either.

Our wind turbines are made in state and provide hundreds of jobs. Also hundreds of construction jobs installing them. Then their is the rent the farmers collect for being on their land. Win Win Win.

Nuclear energy is the future. It's coming. Don't tell the hippies or the dead dinosaur industry.

I tend to agree, but it'll take political will and a massive propaganda campaign to get people comfortable with the idea. Good thing the establishment has been getting lots of practice.
