I've reached the conclusion that the Biden Administration is simply energy illiterate. The crusade towards a "fossil fuel-free America" driven by climate change alarmists on the left w/ belief & 'blind faith' is divorced from the real world. This chart👇

2/will change at a very slow pace. The real questions is at what rate will the green renewable energy sector👇increase per year under the Green New Deal, and projected in 10 years from now? Since Biden wants to see the petroleum, natural gas & coal sectors vanish (just a mere 80%

3/of the pie chart) what will fill the void? That's like taking a pizza cut into 5 slices and removing 4 leaving 1. 1 slice (20% of grid energy) just isn't enough to go around. Green energy won't exponentially increase overnight, it'll take a decades. WH & Psaki don't get this.

4/They're in La La Land chasing a fantasy that has crippled the engine of the US economy and weakened the US's position in the world.

6/“In a recent Pew Research Center survey, 7% of U.S. adults said they currently have an electric or hybrid vehicle.”
So 7% of 289.5 million cars in the US in 2021 is 20.3 million electric or hybrid cars in the US. That percentage will slowly crawl

7/higher but the real disconnect in the Biden Admin is not understanding the connection b/t the EV charging station and the power plant or energy source that delivers the station elec. About 75% of grid energy is generated by fossil fuels. It's the height

8/of ignorance to boast that you drive an EV and your miles have no carbon footprint, when 75% of the elec your EV got charged w/ was produced by fossil fuel power plants. Steam can power a turbine connected to a generator to produce elec. You can boil water by splitting the

9/atom or burning coal and voila, elec is generated. The real challenge is to slowly transform the US grid by linking more renewable energy generation stations to an integrated fossil fuel baseline grid. A "fossil fuel-free American" won't happen until at least the 22nd century.
