Shunning indefinitely renewable energy that literally gets dumped from the sky in favor of shit that we need to dig out from underground results in higher costs? Who would have thought?

    You can't educate an idiot. Which is why Trump is popular with half of the dropout, GED stupid fucks in this country.

    Hey, I dropped out in 10th grade, got a GED 2 weeks later, started college at Case Western Reserve University because I whizzed their exams and scored in the top. Dropped out after a semester and immediately started working in Tech, and went on to make more than most people will ever see in their life. Also have several patents that have withstood challenges, etc….

    We don’t all drop out because we’re stupid, but sometimes the education system doesn’t do well, especially with ADHD /Autism, that’s me.

    our entire money system is built around mineral rights. the coal and oil companies deployed fascism so we have to focus all our energy to not dying today so they can kill us tomorrow. now they're artificially blocking efforts to ensure this planet can be survivable. they'd trash the entire planet to be a little richer than they are now

    There's massive problems with harming adoption of renewables, and increase in energy prices is not one of them

    Unless the public is going to do anything about it, the prices will continue to go up. Boiling frog conundrum.

    In addition to refusing all permits, a very large wind farm close to completion was suspended of coast of RI. It is a massive starvation of US energy while it is a supposed national security top priority to develop US controlled Skynet.

    China installed more solar in the first half of 2025, as entire US capacity.

    Well, you have to remember that they're Fascists, and Fascists aren't known for forward planning or thinking. They're known for being stupid reactionaries who lash out at anything they don't like and burn down whatever they can. This is, unfortunately, par for the course, REGARDLESS of what they say their goals actually are.

    stupid

    intentionally protecting and expanding oil gas and coal profits can serve to keep the flow of bribes, and be smart that way. Bankrupting everyone who ever tried to develop clean energy is a purposeful plan consistent with bribery flow from climate terrorism.

    “REGARDLESS of what they say their goals actually are”

    Chump may have had a brain Drump years ago, but the cabal that put him there do indeed have goals. Things (economy, immigration, health) have to get much worse before Chump can say “This is SO bad I have to break laws and break heads to fix it.” Putting the squeeze on energy is just one thing.

    The important thing to remember is that while it is true this will screw the average person over yet again, this will also make line go up and rich person richer. So it is worth it in the end, if you think about it.
