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.
Won't somebody rid me of this meddlesome Energy Secretary...
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.
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!
A stupid person flailing around with their decisions will end up making a number of good decisions by sheer statistical probability.
America hasn't made one good decision, not even by accident. So the only conclusion I can draw is America is incredibly malicious and has become hostile to all things good.
Because there's big money in doing the worst possible decision and the American voters are more or less fine with money in politics.
They do very occasionally blunder into something that has merits. Like, they rescheduled marijuana, and they're fast-tracking research on therapeutic psilocybin and MDMA. Those are positive things, broadly speaking. Removing the tax on tipped workers was also helpful for some working-class people.
I can't think of anything else off the top of my head, but part of that is probably availability bias: the vaguely positive stuff that they do is a lot less emotionally charged, and therefore less memorable, than the wildly awful stuff they also constantly do.
Removing the tax on tipped workers was also helpful for some working-class people.
I’m much more cynical about this. Tipping has always been the most acceptable kind of tax fraud, that we all willingly participate in. I’m sure it’s changing as credit cards dominate, but tips paid in cash leave no record trail, no evidence that they ever existed. Why would wait staff be diligent about reporting it? At the same time, it’s small potatoes to the IRS, hardly worth trying to enforce. Why even bother?
they rescheduled marijuana
Half-assed it. How do you schedule the drug differently when it’s “medical” vs recreational? I don’t partake so it doesn’t affect me either way, but a lot of people like it for anxiety and to help calm the mind to sleep.
How is it that a person in Massachusetts trying to calm their anxiety is using “drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.”, but a person in Florida using it exactly the same is using “ as drugs with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence.”?
Short term profits (bribes)
worst possible decision stated in the worst possible trump cock sucking way possible
This is going to be part of their messaging for why energy prices are going up--NOT Surveillance Centers--but, renewable energies... fuck these people forever.
Takes up more land??!! Those hydrocarbons took several millions of years. We get power today with wind and solar.
America is the dumbest fucking country.
"Bleed-Up Economics*"
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.
Wind and solar take a lot of land, 100 times more land for a similiar amount of energy...
Compared to..?
If you replaced all the corn that’s being grown for bio-fuels with photovoltaics you could meet the energy needs of the US, technology connections has a great video
Wow, the billionaires seem completely convinced that U.S. citizens will go along with anything... well, hmmm... who's going to argue with them... it's true, after all, that they do...
What a cunty cunt.
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.
What stupid fucking country lmao
Meanwhile in China
I'm glad I didn't invest in US renewables except for one. I know that so long as MAGA is in charge of the United States, they want to see the world burn.
I am at the point where I'm all for the US managed decline at the hands of these padophiles and idiots. They deserve it.
Adding this to my list of reasons why I hate this fucking holiday.
Not surprised. Just tired.
If you want them, you'll have to get them from China like everyone else.
Last week the French had to turn off many of their nuclear power stations because they couldn't cool them down. The Germans sent them electricity. Generated by renewables.
That said, the German government wants to get rid of renewables too.

Because they're maniacs feasting on and being pulled out of Mango Mussolinis Arsehole.
With our demographics though it's the government that was to be expected and - if there's no miracle waiting around the corner - might be the best government for many years to come. I'm so sick of this shit.
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.
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.
They’re trying to crash the country they don’t care how so the billionaires can carve it up into city states. This isn’t a secret plan, Peter Thiel and his ilk have been pretty open about this plan.
Yep. States like Oklahoma are already petty fiefdoms ran by whatever christofascist can yell the loudest. We have zero government transparency or accountability because the federal government refuses to enforce the law.
It's basically a hostile merger. They cut their teeth in unregulated markets and then noticed the government over there just getting tax money for nothing.
That dude is not blinking, Im not say its def Ai, but I wouldny be surprised if theyre using AI to release status updates like this.
We also cant give land for renewables, but data centers itsa aokayyy
okay
Except he does blink? Like many many times?
Fucking ghoul
"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."
