    It’s soo sad seeing that there was zero hesitation when this guy spoke. Like no twitching of remorse to understand that what they are saying is obscenely ignorant and dismissive. But on the flip side great actor maybe??

    “I am pleased to announce the GOP fully endorses the planet Earth going up in flames & the inhabitants succumbing to extreme heat & choking on wildfire smoke & vehicular emissions, so as to benefit our patriotic allies in the fossil fuel industry in Jesus’ name, amen. “

      What’s truly amazing is that they do this sort of thing ONLY because other people want to protect the Earth. This is done specifically to spite others’ feelings.

    “I’m thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will take the future of our grandchildren out into the backyard and shoot it into the head until it dies on the altar of fossil fuel profits.”

      Oh, no, they wouldn’t do that. That’s murder! No, no, they shoot the grandkids in the legs and arms, then complain they’re lazy and entitled and say nothing was done to them. Bring your popcorn, and if you’re feeling generous, you can smother it in crude and offer it to the grandkids.

    These losers can’t read the room. Energy prices have skyrocketed, and we’re all stuck holding the bag again, just like we always do. Also, since this is blatant propaganda, why would anyone use wind or solar if it didn’t work? Simple question. God what a clown show.

    Look at his dead eyes. There is no life or soul in his eyes at all. He’s a psychopath. It’s so creepy and disturbing that we allow psychopathic monsters to rule us.

    “enormous amount of materials, energy intensive materials” - still less than an infinite amount of petroleum.

    “Low value energy” because “the sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow.”

    Oil, on the other hand, famously requires no effort whatsoever to locate, extract and refine before use. The wells are just spewing out oil constantly, for free, for eternity. We never have to transport it. Oil just spawns nearby population hubs as Allah yahweh JESUS wills it. There’s no way a hostile country could close a relatively small waterway and make that a lot less convenient. And no, oil will not run out eventually. It’s eternal. Omg what a cuck who cares about climate change? CO2 is just plant food. Did you fail high school science?

    Thank you. I’m thrilled to be destroying the climate (and getting rich) on this blessed day of independence

      Really stupid fascists. I suspect that even the Nazis would appreciate free electricity from the sun.

    It’s free energy that just needs captured. That’s what they hate, because fossil fuels are so tied into the economy and government.
