So, you’re a shill for the Chinese Communist Party.

Are you suggesting we’re destined to be dependent on China for our green energy needs forever? That’s rather defeatist of you.

If China is a current leader in green tech, then we have to rebuild our industrial base here at home, clearly

No. I am suggesting that you are a shill for the ChiComs. Which you just verified.

Advocating American Energy independence now equals ChiCom shilling — didn’t know that, thanks for explaining

Sure, as long as there's a steady supply of oil to make the blades. . .

Oil is a necessary component of industrial processes, no one is proposing we stop drilling oil entirely. Where there are substitutes, however, oil should be replaced, if for no other reason than its supply on earth is finite (even if you believe 0% of climate science).

No, but I do know how big a failure a Solar Plant in the US can be. Google Solyndra. Barry gave Biden billions to make that happen, and his crime family had that bankrupt in a heart beat.

Coal is uneconomic and continues to become more so every year. First off, coal plants are never constructed without significant tax breaks and subsidies (all of which comes out of the pockets of the average taxpayer).

Then, any money a coal plant makes over the course of its life goes straight into the pockets of execs and shareholders. And any time the plant loses money, they make it up by increasing rates on consumers and asking politicians for bailouts.

It’s heads I win, tails you lose. The coal industry is Solyndra times 1000.
