He’s thrilled, huh? You know what’s going to thrill me? When he shits his pants when he hits the end of his rope.
Absolutely disgusting. I don’t even live in America and yet I feel so furious at this. The nation which is supposed to be leading the world instead seems all too intent on dragging it and everyone with it back to the stone age.
How are the american people not rioting in the streets?
All america has IS LAND, there is plenty for solar, etc.
But we gotta use the money for tax cuts so the rich (including the new king) can continue to control the world!!!
One neat thing about solar and wind energy, that might have national security implications in light of recent events, is that it’s really hard to blockade.
Then they’ll tell you the data centers are crucial for the us lol
clean coal 😵💫
California was 67% powered by alternative sources in 2024:
22.8% Solar
13.8% Wind
12.5% Hydroelectric
11.1% Nuclear
5.0% Geothermal
1.9% Biomass
Source: California Department of Energy
We have also been adding an enormous amount of battery storage to the grid. Cheap (but large and heavy) sodium batteries don’t work well for cars but they’re great for stacking up next to solar farms.
Meanwhile Republicants whine about how it can’t be done. Fucking losers. The sad fact is that the US is diverse and a place like California is essentially a modern country but we also have petrostates like Alaska and Louisiana that fall apart without oil.
Even the Saudis know oil isn’t forever and are trying to diversify their economy. But the hellhole that is Louisiana is so corrupt it’s worse than a kingdom.
…texas is trailing at 41% low-carbon but wind and solar are gangbuster growth industries here…
22% wind
12% solar
7% nuclear
48% natural gas
11% coal…i work in the sustainability industry and the dogmatic backlash i’ve seen against electrification is absurd…
Who needs green energy when we have a green reflecting pool?
What dumb fucks they all are.
Backwards af
This is happening as the nation is in a massive heatwave that’s about to cause unbelievable electric bills to a large chunk of the country since we already barely produce enough energy as it is… Idiocracy grows by the day
We are happy to announce, that we managed to fucked your future for our profit. Thank you.
This guy does not have the American interest in mind and heart.
I did an experiment with this - knowing nothing about this guy, I was like “I bet he either worked or currently still works for the oil industry.” Then went to Wikipedia and the second sentence of his article is:
Before leading the U.S. Department of Energy, Wright served as the CEO of Liberty Energy, North America’s second largest hydraulic fracturing company
Nailed it lol
Good news! (For him) Under the current lack of rules he probably didn’t have to give up any of the stock in Liberty Energy! Hope that works out for him (not really) when we start living under the rule of law again.
