Adding this to my list of reasons why I hate this fucking holiday.
US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects”

How are the american people not rioting in the streets?

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.

Talk about getting on the wrong side of history. We’d still be bashing rocks together if idiots like this had their way everywhere. Luckily it’s only the US that wants to slide into obscurity.

Canada just made an announcement of a whole shitload of infrastructure cash going to windmills. While the only friends trump has are oil company buddies, whom he will protect for fun and profit, at the expense of the american people (yet again).

Based on the overall votes, disagree.

I saw that speach on Landman about the cost of building Solar/Wind.
You know what else takes a ton of concrete and metal and shit, and a need to deliver from the middle of nowhere?
Fucking Oil.

I hope all republican voters get the cancers their dear leader canceled research for. It’s still better than they deserve.

Americans are weird.
They love big fireballs, so you’d think that generating energy for free from an 865,000 mile diameter nuclear fireball would make Americans say “Fuck yeah! 'Murica!” instead of “Fuck no! That’s for hippies!”

Wind doesn’t always blow and sun doesn’t always shine, but oil lasts forever!!! We’ll literally never run out! Can’t fail.

SouthEndSunset@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 hours ago
You’re thinking of it in the wrong context. They only care about money.
NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 hours ago
It’s on purpose, they can’t control the world economy if we start using renewable energy. The dollar is literally pegged to oil. If that goes away, they won’t control the global economy anymore.

Hopefulluy, there will be no need for subsidies, it’s well and efficient enough to make the costs up within a few years despite the haterade drinkers in the shithouse.
AmyAye@nord.pub 18 hours ago
Especially since Oil gets just even larger subsidies.

It’s soo sad seeing that there was zero hesitation when this guy spoke. Like no twitching of remorse to understand that what they are saying is obscenely ignorant and dismissive. But on the flip side great actor maybe??

Money is a decent motivator, especially when you’re a sociopath that really doesn’t give a fuck about facts or logic. Member when the right wing imbiciles took over YouTube, the goal was to coopt reality, because they knew what they were doing, lining their pockets with both elite money, and idiot money - not bringing truth to power of the lieberal media.
