Let's assume that Trump/Vance/GOP think climate change is a hoax. The current admin has boasted repeatedly that the US is producing more oil/gas than ever. So if they think it's real, yet they're still doing what they're doing... that might even be worse.

Do you have any idea how much solar and renewable generation has been installed in the last few years, driven by the IRA?

Which means they're not importing it, as they were.

🙁🙁 Not contradicting you at all, the situation itself is just really discouraging.

It would be nice, at this juncture, to thank all the people who have taken time from their day to correct you, with helpful links, and to say you were wrong.

They passed the largest climate funding bill in history, twice. It is creating a US based clean technology industry that will be effectively lobbying on its own against the fossils. So I am saying you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Also, I am one of those clean energy people.
