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.
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”

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.

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

He also complained about steel and concrete being expensive factors in their production. Doesn’t every major construction project use a lot of steel and concrete? Including traditional power plants that run on fossil fuels?
CarrierLost@infosec.pub 7 hours ago
Wait, it takes steel and concrete to build coal power plants? I thought they just grew out of the ground. They’re called plants! What do you mean we have to build them?!

Romania is averaging 70% renewable production on sunny days
Solar is about 40%
People keep pointing to China, but there’s plenty European countries doing way better
marxismtomorrow@lemmy.today 9 hours ago
The reason people keep pointing to China is because China generates around half the electricity of the EU does, in just Solar.
They’re ‘behind,’ because unlike Europe they’re trying to lift around a billion people out of poverty and have already lifted 800 million out of poverty while making practically all solar panels that the entire world installs.

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!

What’s truly amazing is that they do this sort of thing ONLY because other people want to protect the Earth. This is done specifically to spite others’ feelings.

No, it’s not.
It’s done specifically for money. As you know, in USA corporations are people and money is free speech.

Balcony solar exists and backyard solar is also an option. Of course in the USA several states are blocking balcony solar

Absolutely disgusting. I don’t even live in America and yet I feel so furious at this. The nation which is supposed to be leading the world instead seems all too intent on dragging it and everyone with it back to the stone age.
prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 18 hours ago
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.
TubbyMarmot@lemmy.today 18 hours ago
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.
flynnguy@programming.dev 17 hours ago
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.

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.

Yep. Wind and Solar will generate power for the next 30-50 years.
a lump of coal will generate power for…what? 15 seconds?

A regular combustion car represents about 15 tons of mass when you account for all the fuel it will burn. Less than 5 for an EV (tire changes).

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.
