Energy Secretary Chris Wright appeared on Fox Business Tuesday, where he and host Maria Bartiromo defended the Trump administrations assault on clean energy.
Recently, the administration announced it would cancel federal funding for ongoing windmill projects and infrastructure.
No one would build energy projects like these without massive government subsidies, government mandates, government-expedited permitting that allows you to go over everyone's objections, Wright replied, ignoring the irony of his own boss doing just that to prop up the dying coal industry.
I don't understand why the Democrats push this so aggressively. I mean, was this just an ideology that they wanted to push the climate change agenda, Bartiromo responded. The wind has to be blowing, the sun has to be shining, otherwise you're not getting anything.

(36,530 posts)I oppose wind and solar on the grounds that they have nothing to do with addressing the collapse of the planetary atmosphere.
In fact, as the use of wind and solar depends upon, and thus entrenches the use of dangerous fossil fuels. That the administration of the orange pervert doesn't understand as much is unremarkable.
The purpose of the wind and solar scam was never about replacing fossil fuels, and if it were so, it has clearly failed miserably.
It has met its goal which was to attack nuclear energy, the only technology that had a shot at preventing the dominance and use of fossil fuels, and to prevent that technology from doing what it might have done to have sustained the world.
