Any that’s what is being said - look up the word “TRANSITION “

What dwindling energy supply? This is 2020 and the U.S. is awash in energy production. You are basing your comments on the same bogus doom and gloom B.S. from the 1970s. Wake up. We are awash in energy production.

CA. Does not have enough electricity available even with fuel driven generators. How can we increase the load on the grid without fuel, our current wind and solar fields are plenty, thousands of homes have solar, but they are not efficient enough to meet the demand.

This is all about the danger of Carbon based fuels and their influence on climate change, we could go total green energy tomorrow but we would have to build a dome across the entire country to benefit because the other 96% of the worlds population will still be pumping Carbon into the atmosphere. China, India, and the rest of The Far East stand no chance of meeting the Paris Accord Agreement, we cannot isolate ourselves from the harm they will be causing.

The future !!

And it’s not that climate I am thinking of. It is the lost opportunity of America to be a world leader in technology and the resulting jobs. Just because people - like ostriches - have their head stuck in the ground Instead of looking in the future fir opportunity,

That WON'T do poop up here in Oregon...(cloudy 270 days a year)

I will do that tomorrow, Tried to fix it myself. Can't. And I am too cheap to spend $700 or a new laptop, Would rather have new glass

What are you going to charge those electric cars with, solar, LOL? Even clean-burning natural gas requires extraction methods that the democratic base is against. When the power companies use their smart meters to turn off power for rolling black-outs, they should just turn of the liberal, energy hating democrats. I think you'd get on board after a few of those.

Your statements are flawed. Research what they do with the solar and wind items after they are used. They bury them. The huge blades of the fan are fiberglass composite and will never be recycled. Have you seen the battery makings? Huge holes in the ground while mining the materials to make the batteries which are also not recycled. It all sounds great until you see that end of it. The solar panels are also buried and cannot be recycled.

Just get a USB keyboard. Or maybe Bluetooth.

You live in the wrong part of Oregon. We have 300 plus days of sunshine a year.

I've repeatedly hear that "We need to listen to the Scientist..!" I suspect that most of those here have heard that time and time again also.

So...let's take a moment and listen to the Scientist regarding two of the 'Laws of Physics'. Not just good ideas, these are LAWS. Here's two of my favorite.

The Law of Conservation of Energy is a physical law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed but may be changed from one form to another.

The Law of Conservation of Mass states that mass in an isolated system is neither created nor destroyed by chemical reactions or physical transformations. According to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of the products in a chemical reaction must equal the mass of the reactants.

Hence, there is no 'free lunch' anymore than there is 'free energy'. Even the 'greenest energy equipment' takes energy and mass to create them. The cost of the infrastructure to produce and to sustain electric cars in and of itself is massive. Nuclear energy, which is quite common in other nations and geothermal are about as close as current technology can get us to the generation of electricity on a reliable and substantial amount.

Again, even with something that may appear to be close to free energy, like solar takes other energy sources to get them from the drawing board to the rooftop including the need to make the tires for the trucks that transport them.

I'm not discouraging the march toward energy reduction or advancements in energy production in any way. I am stating that one should not be influenced by the propaganda that a New Green Deal will turn the nation, let alone the world, around in any measurable way for the scales will always remain balanced for there is nothing new created in the entire universe....it is only changed. All the mass and energy already exist.

And yet you want Biden, who is bought and paid for by America’s biggest threat, which is China. If Biden gets in, China will have unfettered access to our military secrets and everything else, and you’re too ignorant in your hatred for Trump to even see that. Get your head out.
