What about the oil subsidies? We are ending those too right?

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.
SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Now there’s an idea! We can finally stop giving them water, which is used in toilets.

End all subsidies for coal NOW.

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 3 months 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?!
davidagain@lemmy.world 3 months ago
No, no, it’s just false.

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.

“enormous amount of materials, energy intensive materials” - still less than an infinite amount of petroleum.
A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Yep. Wind and Solar will generate power for the next 30-50 years.
a lump of coal will generate power for…what? 15 seconds?
dan1101@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It’s free energy that just needs captured. That’s what they hate, because fossil fuels are so tied into the economy and government.

Really stupid fascists. I suspect that even the Nazis would appreciate free electricity from the sun.

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.
bilgamesch@feddit.org 3 months ago
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.

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.

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.

The really fun thing about solar is its just about cheap enough to build yourself.
7101334@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Doesn’t really help the huge swathes of the country who rent and aren’t allowed to modify their homes (if they even have roofs)

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

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).

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…

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.

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.

Wind and solar are free, hence why they’re being axed by this miserable fucks. Oil and gas can be sold and their lobbyists pay shitheads like this clown big bucks.
We got other countries with surplus because they went solar and wind-- literally giving back to the community because of excess-- but since the Pedo Party can’t make a buck off it, we suffer for it
vimdiesel@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Nothing is free, but they are a better alternative to fossil fuels, but don’t make such uneducated statements as “wind and solar are free”
