3. Dems need to make the point

I think we need to be arguing that there is a place for solar and wind along side oil and gas to power the country. Trump seems to be painting it as it’s all or nothing, 1 or the other, and I can’t figure out why no one is saying there’s room for both. I have found if you paint it that way most cons don’t have a good argument, they’re just programmed to argue against the perceived position that Dems want to get rid of the oil industry in favor of only clean energy. At this time I think we could win people over by saying clean energy could bring down the cost if we weren’t so reliant on oil for everything
