Hearing reports the great state of Texas is struggling with the electric grid and has asked residents to turn down their heat.

This is America’s future. The money behind “green energy” doesn’t care if it works. They are looking for ROI.

Your life is not their concern.
.@GovAbbott has a moral responsibility to ensure these wind and solar political stunts don’t risk people’s lives.

And they are political stunts. That’s why politicians push them and not free markets and free people.

Democrats never forced you to buy an iPhone. Why?
I’d welcome an honest conversation about renewables. What they cost. Where they are made. How much land they require. How many fossil fuels they need. What they do to utility prices.

But that conversation will never happen because you need adults- not politicians- at the table.
Instead my DM’s are full of “the future is renewable” notes. Which is the political equivalent of “abortion is healthcare” and “diversity is our strength” and “no one is illegal”.

Vapid regurgitation.

Tag lines do not policy make.

Loving all the DMs telling me renewables are NOT to blame for #TexasBlackout.

Green energy is NOT perfect. That's a non-controversial statement. If you don't accept it, we're done talking.

I don't waste time on intellectual children.
Fossil Fuels are not perfect either. That's not the issue.

The question is: given the cost, the lifestyle we demand as Americans, geopolitics, geology, physics, math, land use, etc what is the best mix of energy?
Politicians know this. That's why they talk about dietary regulation. Veganism. Banning the combustion engine. Heck, Bill Gates was just on 60 minutes talking about the sacrifice we must make. They know something has to give and they chose quality of life.

Did you chose that?

2020: when strip clubs were deemed essential but churches were ordered to close. And the media said nothing.

2020: when Marxist organizations parading as racial justice movements burnt down Main Street. And the media said nothing.
2020: When the son of the Democrat nominee was proven to be compromised by china and on the payroll of Ukraine. And the media said nothing.

2020: when hundreds of thousands of ballots appeared within a 3 hour window 100% for the dem candidate. And the media said nothing.
2020: When Andrew Cuomo was revered as a saint and sold a book on leadership while sending 6000 elderly to die. And the media said nothing.

2020: When Pelosi, Newsom, Lightfoot, Brown and dozens of elected dems violated their own lockdown orders. And the media said nothing.

She spelled “yes” wrong. Si... Sí... it’s only a big difference if she really were Spanish...

And quite frankly, a real Spanish person would end that sentence with “no” or “verdad”.

“Yes” is more an English construct.

Just a big phony.
I wrote a piece in @HumanEvents about the phony globalist green movement and mentioned a 2019 awards ceremony hosted by Alec Baldwin.

Hillary is as phony as her husband’s causes. It’s all a big rouse to travel and condemn others to misery.

Americans don’t have the luxury of #climatechange activism. We’re too busy living.

It’s a globalist rich and misanthropic cause. All the solutions require government growth and the prevention of economic opportunity. It condemns the poor and gathers the rich in fancy resorts.

The green movement will tell you wind/solar means we can stop using fossil fuels. But is electricity generation the main use of fossil fuels?

So why the push to use government to force the purchase of green products (70% of which are made in China)?
Well... who sits on the board of these companies? Who owns stock? How much did these companies give in campaign contributions?
They need land (millions of acres) for wind and solar farms. Who owns the land? Who gets tax credits? Who gets leasing rights?

.@BretBaier just did a segment on increasing tension with Tehran. I’m sure Joe Biden would tell you he knows what to do. But think about it:
When Iran revolution happened Joe Biden was already in his second term in the Senate. His whole DC career he’s talked about #MiddleEast peace. And what has he accomplished?
In 1 term @realDonaldTrump secured peace agreements between #israelbahrain and #israeluae with more to come. He’s secured #EnergyDominance so Iran’s oil leverage is minimized.

The Crow Tribe is protecting their people who work in coal. It powers our nation.

All across America green activists and their billionaire donors are putting native tribes into poverty by banning the coal from their land.

In any other time it would be the height of racism.
But #TDS is real.

And today in America a white billionaire named Tom Steyer can run for President with a fortune made off the backs of 9-year old chinese girls working in coal mines while stopping Native American from working in coal here and yammering about #ClimateChange
Today in America Michael Bloomberg worth $60billion can have 14 homes and private jets & helicopters... but he’ll he damned if a 4th generation Navajo in Farmington, NM works in a coal mine on his ancestral land.
