I feel like evil is giving more credit than this admin is due. Insatiably greedy that is Incidentally evil is more like it. Plain old evil sounds grander and implies more effort than these dipshits can invest.

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.

There are dipshits but the larger strategy towards fascism is complex and well thought out. I am convinced that there are some very smart people in the background. Stephen miller cones to mind.

There are BESS sites near almost all wind and solar. They are batteries that store energy for later. Not even a difficult concept to grasp, yet here we are.

Shit, this concept is in factorio… You have solar panels and batteries… I get that it’s expensive at first but come on, it just makes sense. I think wind, solar and hydro are our future… Trump’s chronies just can’t make money off it so they make it illegal.

It’s extremely difficult to grasp if you’re a complete moron and there’s money being dangled in front of your face.

The US has enough energy storage to use just renewables for all demands? Nice! I am from Germany and we are far from it.
