Look, I agree we should be funding renewable energy projects not only to create and maintain jobs, but to also harness otherwise wasted energy. But, solar and wind have nothing on the immediate benefits of oil. Our society is simply not tuned for lower energy-dense methods of moving shit around – yet anyways

Green energy isn’t just good for the environment. It’s also good for preventing oligarchs from controlling us. Problem is we keep voting for Republicans that think they could be oligarchs if they fuck the rest of us over enough.

Those who control the energy will continue to wage wars against each other to keep or take control.
Meanwhile the center of our solar system literally is showering us with life nourishing energy naturally for free.

Renewables are excellent for strategic independence. Nobody can embargo the sun, for now at least, and if they want to embargo your production units, they need to wait like thirty years before your lights go out. They’re also more resilient to bombing, because most options are a lot of little units that will more-or-less work independently if some are blown up. I believe Ukraine is developing a bit of an appreciation for a personal solar array despite being a natural gas hub because the Russians have to bomb your house specifically to turn off your lights.

I’d rather see all the oil in the world burn in service of straight, masculine, alpha energy than get a single joule of cuckavolts from wind or solar.

The oil barrons and bankers dont want green energy so the wars will keep being about oil

I’ll die if a protracted war in Iran makes conservatives suddenly embrace green energy. I can’t even.

There was a WSJ article this week about this
This is another news that need to take note
