Scary that these incompetent kind of people can make it into congress.
This is what happens when urban welfare recipients are allowed to vote.

How can we ever have "unlimited clean energy" when the earth and sun are both finite resources? Nothing in our solar system is unlimited.

There is no such thing as "clean energy" whether it's Concrete used in dams, or Plastics, metals, and Composites used on wind turbines. The materials are all mined from mother earth requiring equipment, almost all using Petroleum based fuels, to extract from the ground, or move around the globe.

For some reason Democrats think there's a source of energy somewhere that doesn't require energy to retrieve and process. For whatever reason Democrat politicians don't consult us Engineers before running off with their hair brained energy schemes

The lefties had a crush on her though when she said "impeach the M F er" when Trump was president. I think they even put that line on a t-shirt with her face on it. I can't imagine who would want to buy such a t-shirt, but I also can't imagine who would want to be represented by this women. And they also have "Fettermania" t-shirts out now. What a crazy country we have become that people would want to dress this way...

I love this analysis of it. If you dont watch the whole thing, at least watch Tyrus's part at around the 4 minute mark, but the whole 8 minutes is pretty funny, and spot on.

That's really being disingenuous. You know damn well (pun intended!) that a dam providing hydroelectric power creates far less pollution over its lifetime than a coal burning power plant.
