Prove it then without putting the liberal spin on it! You can't and you know it! Trump even said he wants to increase our legal immigration numbers of which I disagree with him on.

Solar and wind power... So how do you power and heat NYC and Chicago in the winter?

Can't do it.

Obviously you cannot rely solely on solar and wind. You also have hydro, nuclear, bio fuels, etc and natural gas will have to be around for at least a transition period as well.

You carefully didn't respond to her post, instead going off on a tangent about a different issue re immigration.

Repeating what she said: Democrats are not for open borders. She's right about that.

Most Democrats are not for free healthcare for non-citizens. She's right about that.

Education...not sure. But the country currently provides education for children regardless of citizenship. I don't know who started that. Maybe it was always that way. But I do know that the Republicans have never changed that, despite have total control of Congress more often than the Democrats. So you need to ask your Republican politicians about that. I've always thought that's odd, but like most things, there's probably more to it than appears on the surface. The country tends to do things that are good policy for the country in the long run.

Trump is NOT pro immigration. He is pro-work Visas...because his companies need that. He doesn't want ANY immigrants from south of the border (he has identified them as bad people, gangsters, murderers, and rapists, who have infested the country). As he said, he wants immigrants from Norway and places like that...places where the people would have little interest in leaving to come here...here, with no healthcare, longer working hours, a "you're on your own" mentality, less vacation and personal days off, a moron for a President.

I have voted Democratic my entire life, not Republican. We cannot afford to support illegals and their kids with our schools, our infrastructure, our health care. We don't give them welfare--we don't even give welfare to LEGAL immigrants unless something bad happens to them after they have been here for FIVE years with a perfect record. YOU may be a moderate DEMOCRAT!

Well, that's not the attitude of a can-do person.

Obviously, it would have to be a combination of a number of renewable energy, plus other things.
