Biden to rescind the Keystone XL pipeline extension permit on Day 1 of his presidency

Wind and solar supply about 4% of the total energy used
in the U.S. Something would be very wrong if the
renewable energy industry provides more
paychecks than the non-renewable energy
sector. If clean energy includes nuclear which is not renewable
it still accounts for no more than 20% of the nation's total energy
supply. There is not a chance the renewable energy
industry employs more than a significant fraction
of the worforce in the energy industry.

Hardly wishful thinking. And the numbers are growing' year by year.

The recently published Department of Energy 2017 U.S. Energy and Employment Report shows that clean electricity jobs are no doubt the engine that drives America’s electric energy economy, outstripping the number of paychecks provided by the fossil fuel industry by at least five to one. While that doesn’t mean fossil fuel generation is gone, it certainly means that if you are a politician looking for ways to grow jobs for the long term in your community, clean energy is the path to take.

When I was living in Quebec, they used James Bay to generate electricity (hydro power). The problem with electricity is you can't really store it like oil.

A major problem with the Quebec grid is that the equipment was purchased from France where they don't experience minus 40F weather. Does anyone remember the famous ice storm?

"Arctic oil reserves
The assessment showed that the Arctic might contain 90 billion barrels of undiscovered oil, 1,669 trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and 44 billion barrels of undiscovered natural gas liquids."

Future of the Arctic Oil Reserves

Question: Will the lefties allow us to explore, extract and bring that oil to market?

This was dealing with one segment only.

If the segment is electric power generation renewable
including hydro still represent less than 20% of the energy
mix.

What part of unsustainable green energy government subsidies do you not understand ?
The path to take??
Do you honestly think governments can keep printing money to create unsustainable green employment?

You are in for a very rude shock down the road

You are in for a very rude shock down the road

$43 billion a year in oil subsidies.
$1.9 billion in extreme weather damages.

How sustainable is that?
