You're right, there is no excuse for the Biden administration to continue their war on fossil fuels --- but they're going to do it anyway. And of course there was no excuse to begin the war on fossil fuels in the first place. And let's at least be honest enough to admit if they cared one whit for the well being of the people of this land, they wouldn't be using the Rahm Emanuel doctrine of not wasting a crisis, to force us under the green new deal.

The use of plentiful affordable fossil fuels has been the only reason we were able to make any strides towards the suggestion of a meaningful transition to renewable energy anyway. But laying that argument aside, renewable energy accounts for 20% of total US energy consumption these days they say. That ratio has not changed significantly since they began tracking renewable energy usage because of all the renewable energy consumed, all but 3% of the reported 20% usage is hydro-electrical power;  which dates back to 1882.

For practical purposes renewable energy forms simply do not exist. Wind turbines make of the vast majority of the remaining 3%. It takes 60 years to break even on the cost of a wind turbine. The biggest problem with that is a turbine only lasts 20 years. For practical purposes renewable energy forms simply do not exist, end of story.

Except for the fact that the US has already reached the tipping point of being able to feed her people (owing to farming shortfalls), the only things they're going to accomplish in all of this is to destroy our once vaunted medical community and send our society back to the early days of the industrial revolution.
