Abandoning fossil fuels weakens America and strengthens Russia & China. We need fossil fuels, renewables, and nuclear for national security & a cleaner environment. Get 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘋𝘦𝘢𝘭 for a 5-step plan.

@renewables wind farms just don’t make any sense. They provide insufficient energy, are intermittent, take up too much land, cannot be disposed of properly and are just plain ugly #renewables#wind#energy#nuclear#oil&gas https://t.co/J0hKy1oOHe
The world will have to deal with 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades by Net Zero in 2050.
To put that in perspective, it’s the equivalent weight of 215,000 locomotives. These blades are made of high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather, and they are notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but they weren't built to disappear.
Every turbine standing today will likely be decommissioned and replaced at least once before 2050. Without a cost-effective way to recycle fibre-reinforced polymers, the majority of these massive blades are destined for eternity - buried forever in turbine graveyards.
China, Europe, and the US will account for the vast majority of this waste, creating a mountainous industrial heartache that many Net Zero models simply haven't priced in.
But 43 million tons of purely composite blade waste every 20 years is a colossal physical reality.
@JasonWright1912 @warsurv Europe shut down its energy, handed Putin leverage, and acts surprised when he turns it off. I go into this in chapter 5 in my book, The Green Real Deal.
@TheInsiderPaper Europe shut down its energy, handed Putin leverage, and acts surprised when he turns it off. Energy policy built on politics = higher prices, weaker security, no control. Maybe “energy independence” isn’t a crazy idea after all. Read chapter 5 in The Green Real Deal for more.

An obscure author wrote in a 2014 book:
"The now thoroughly discredited Stern Review published by the UK government in 2006 claimed that climate change represented the "greatest and widest-ranging market failure ever seen" in human history.
But the inconvenient truth is exactly the opposite. The incontestable fact, as shown above and in a thousand other examples, is that climate change remediation has become the single greatest and wide-ranging regulatory failure in human history as governments adopt climate change abatement solutions that bear a present value cost to taxpayers one to three orders of magnitude greater than the putative costs that climate change itself could ever hope to impose."
People are beginning to notice.

There is a dramatic divergence in European and United States energy policy.
Europe made a political choice to make energy expensive.
We hope those decisions are reversed.
@TheDemocrats there is a 0.0% chance of achieving “net zero” by 2050. Think of all the wealth that has been destroyed by these climate change lunatics @ClimateReality @greenenergy_uk @algore https://t.co/aAxTtrs9Jf
@TheDemocrats foul mouthed Carville really makes folks want to vote Democrat. 👎 What a disgrace. But have a happy Mardi Gras Carville!@HouseGOP https://t.co/gtLKX440mt
Of the 75 nuclear reactors under construction worldwide, according to the World Nuclear Association, 38 are in China.
Why not in the US?
Because of pseudoscientific regulations that have shut down our would-be nuclear renaissance for over 50 years.
Unleash nuclear energy!
@jackprandelli Pipelines are proven to be the best overall method. The underwater transportation of oil helped win WWII, like the Texas-based Big Inch pipeline. Today, oil remains critical for national defense and democracy. I delve into this topic in my book, The Green Real Deal.
@bbgoriginals This is why pipelines are proven to be the safest method. The underwater transportation of oil helped win WWII, like the Texas-based Big Inch pipeline. Today, oil remains critical for national defense and democracy. I delve into this topic in my book, The Green Real Deal.
@PopMech Yes! The Underwater Transportation of Oil helped win WWII, like the Texas-based Big Inch pipeline. Today, oil remains critical for national defense and democracy. I delve into this topic in my book, The Green Real Deal. https://t.co/NffpeDGz2W
@US_OGA PLUTO (Pipeline Underwater Transportation of Oil) helped win WWII, like the Texas-based Big Inch pipeline. Today, oil remains critical for national defense and democracy. Read more in my book, The Green Real Deal. https://t.co/NffpeDGz2W
