“We’re building a clean energy future,” says President Joe Biden.
Who is “we”?
Well, you pay for it. He and his “green” cronies do most of the building.
Lately, they’re pouring more of your money into “renewable energy.” They promise to give us “carbon-free power” from the sun and wind.
My new video illustrates some problems with that, using scenes from a new documentary series called “Juice: Power, Politics, and the Grid.”
Political scientist Roger Pielke Jr. notes, “It’s quite intuitive for people to understand that there’s a lot of power in solar energy. We feel the wind. The idea that you can get something for nothing, people find enormously appealing.”
Especially in California, where politicians now require all new homes to have solar panels, all new cars sold in 2035 to be zero-emission, and all the state’s electricity to come from carbon-free resources by 2045.
They’re getting results, but not good ones: California’s cost of electricity increased three times faster than in the rest of America.
People in Washington state pay about 11 cents per kilowatt-hour. In Oregon, 13 cents. In California, now almost 30 cents.
Do they at least get reliable energy for that? No.
