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?
It's also not a partisan issue. It was RED Texas that chose to forgo fossil fuels in favor of green energy just like BLUE California has chosen the same. Both have resulted in deaths.
Not politicians' deaths. Not legislators or Governors. Regular people without a voice.
We were told we had to close coal plants because people were dying. Who? Can you find me one person who died from a coal plant?
I can show you 11 who died from the cold today. But not one greenie will cry a drop for them. Necessary casualties in the war against something.
The same people who told us to wear/not wear a mask or two or three, who kept your kids out of school while suicides doubled, who closed your business, they know all about the electric grid and have your best interest at heart.
Trust them. They "believe in science".

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.
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.
.@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?
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.
