Mildly Infuriating

Holy third World country Batman! This administration is fucking insane.

"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

Well USA, you have signed your demise against China.

"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."

Fuck those stupid fucking motherfuckers. Fuck, I hate what these ignorant fuckwits have done to my country. I hope they all get cancer and die soon.

US Energy Secretary: “I'm thrilled to report that tomorrow morning, on July 4th, we will end subsidies for wind and solar projects”

Celebrating America's independence from rational thought, America's independence from cheap energy sources, and America's independence from looking after our children and grandchildren.

Why does everything that comes from this administration have to be the worst possible decision for any given situation? They're so dumb, you'd think they'd stumble into a good thing every once in a while.

Fuck these malicious assholes!

...but not for fossil fuels

we need a c/wildlyinfuriating

Not surprised. Just tired.

America is the dumbest fucking country.

What stupid fucking country lmao

I did an experiment with this - knowing nothing about this guy, I was like "I bet he either worked or currently still works for the oil industry." Then went to Wikipedia and the second sentence of his article is:

Before leading the U.S. Department of Energy, Wright served as the CEO of Liberty Energy, North America's second largest hydraulic fracturing company

Nailed it lol

That is an amazing little speech. I think except for the first sentence and the "Thank you" at the end every sentence contained misinformation on renewables. I wonder how long it took them to come up with this density of lies.

Unfortunately, the sun and wind have no money to "donate" to our political parties, and the oil companies have many billions of dollars, so sun and wind is out on its ass.

Good. All this is going to do is show that renewables are cheaper even without subsidies. Then maybe people will finally start questioning all the fossil fuel subsidies.

He is right in saying that wind an solar are not constant and we need additional transmission capacity to transfer the power to where it is needed vs made. But their solution to these problems are bullshit.

Build out transmission networks and get energy storage capacity quickly. don't cater to big oil and coal and nuclear.

They are not stupid, they are evil.

This is happening as the nation is in a massive heatwave that's about to cause unbelievable electric bills to a large chunk of the country since we already barely produce enough energy as it is..... Idiocracy grows by the day

It's.... Just like looking at a car crash in slow motion.

Like renewables just keep on giving and provide so much energy security. I honestly can't see why any country, even with the vast reserves of fossil fuel that the US has, willingly ignores the future. Wild.

Edit: yer man is so uncomfortable saying this and it's not discomfort with public speaking. This is money hungry fuck territory.

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.

Gov: explodes oil prices

Also gov:

Wrong community. Nothing mild about that.

This is GREAT news because we've done EVERYTHING in our Power to bring Fossil Fuel costs DOWN and LOCAL which means CHEAPER energy then the FREE Sun and Wind we get everyday at my Apartment!

"We stole all the money to bomb children."

America and Americans fucking suck dude. What a bunch of shitty dumbarses.

Fucking ghoul

Wind and solar are free, hence why they're being axed by this miserable fucks. Oil and gas can be sold and their lobbyists pay shitheads like this clown big bucks.

We got other countries with surplus because they went solar and wind-- literally giving back to the community because of excess-- but since the Pedo Party can't make a buck off it, we suffer for it

What a cunty cunt.

“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. “

Meanwhile in China

Isn’t this a crime against humanity? Future generations will hopefully judge you for what you are.

What a piece of shit.

Well, I guess Americans are going to have expensive energy bills next. After groceries and heath care. Next thing is a sports drink company going to buy the rights to water? So Brawndo will replace tapwater. Because it's what plants crave, it has electrolytes.

"Ha ha fuck you all, hope you die. God bless America yadda yadda"

What about the oil subsidies? We are ending those too right?
