    I’m GLAD he’s Cutting Solar! Being able to FREELY PRODUCE ENERGY IN YOUR BACKYARD is Socialism! TRUE Freedom is having a Billionaire TELL YOU how much you Need to Pay for Energy!

      That’s right! Stop those sunshine-stealing solar panels! Nobody can tan any longer if the solar panels take away all the sunlight!

      The fossil fuels industry billion-dollar bribe was far more important.

      The majority of R voters are trained from a young age to be told what to do by their preferred bullies (while pretending it’s their own idea), which is why they do so many irrational, self-contradictory things. It’s a shame the anti-bullying campaigns of decades past were so half-assed, or we might have been in a very different place right now.
