Look, I am all for renewable, ‘clean’ energy and I think that the future is going to be built using this form of energy … HOWEVER, we will never get to the future if we force people to transition to more expensive, sh***ier forms of energy.
We need to wait until the technology is there before we just decide arbitrarily that we are going to start using power sources that are not proven. This month these radical leftist/globalist policies cost American lives.
The Gateway Pundit reports:
‘A historic winter storm and cold blast caused chaos in Texas last week.
Power outages were initiated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas early on Monday morning and lasted for days. This meant hundreds of thousands of Texans are without electricity for short periods of time. Temperatures fell into the teens near Dallas and 20s around Houston.
According to reports nearly half of the wind energy is down in West Texas after the turbines froze.
A week later data now shows that frozen and inoperable wind turbines were in large part the cause of the lost of power. ‘

With the worst of the Texas power crisis now behind us, the blame and fingerpointing begins, and while the jury is still out whose actions (or lack thereof) may have led to the deadly and widespread blackouts that shocked Texas this week, Cascend Strategy writes that “in case there was any doubt why the Texas grid collapsed, the data is clear”
-Wind failed as “Ice storms knocked out nearly half the wind-power generating capacity of Texas on Sunday as a massive deep freeze across the state locked up wind turbine generators, creating an electricity generation crisis.”
-Natural gas made up the difference for a while
-But then everything else followed down
Remember when Obama promised to bankrupt anyone who tried to create a coal power plant in order to keep power cheap in America? Cheap power is the foundation for any economy.
Did you catch that, Obama took credit for creating fracking .. LMAO that guy was one hell of an actor, I’ll tell ya … anyway, back to it.
I used to watch those gold mining shows and the main thing that I took away from them was that, despite my preconception that Gold was the most basic form of money, I realized that I was wrong. Every gold miner has one concern … fuel costs, thus fuel is the backbone of the economy and without cheap fuel the entire economy collapses.
After people lost their lives from the colossal failure that 100% could have been avoided, Obama … err, I mean Biden’s Green Czar Gina McCarthy insisted that the solution is … more green energy.

The deadly winter storm that caused widespread power outages in Texas and other states is a “wake-up call” for the United States to build energy systems and other infrastructure that are more reliable and resilient in the face of extreme-weather events linked to climate change, President Joe Biden’s national climate adviser says.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Gina McCarthy said Friday that the storm that devastated Texas and other states “is not going to be as unusual as people had hoped. It is going to happen, and we need to be as resilient and working together as much as possible. We need systems of energy that are reliable and resilient as well.”
McCarthy said the scientific evidence is clear that more frequent and more dangerous storms are likely, “and if we really care about keeping our people working and keeping our kids healthy and giving them a future we’re proud of, then we’re not going to ignore these wake-up calls. We’re going to take action.”
McCarthy’s comments came as Biden and his wife Jill were in Texas to survey damage caused by the storm, which caused millions of homes and business to lose heat and running water. At least 40 people in the state died.
“We need to envision a future and an optimistic way of giving people hope again — that we are building back better,” she said, using Biden’s slogan for a plan costing at least $2 trillion to rebuild the nation’s infrastructure and create clean-energy jobs.
“It is a catchy phrase, but it also is a kind of optimistic rallying cry and I think we ought to heed it,″ McCarthy said.’
Look, there are only two rationals here. First, they could just be ignorant to reality. The second is worse, much worse … they want us to get used to not having power as they move to deindustrialize America while shipping our wealth to their friends in the CCP.
If you think of a third option, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Shut down the Keystone Pipeline, slash US energy production and tons of high paying jobs, then tax our money and send it to China for more crappy wind turbines. I refuse to believe anyone could be this ignorant … that leaves only one explanation.
