Thiessen: Just so people understand wind and solar only work when there is wind and sun. We don't have technology to store the energy from wind and solar…

🇺🇸 ENERGY SEC. WRIGHT: WIND AND SOLAR CAN’T REPLACE RELIABLE ENERGY "The problem with wind is that the wind doesn't always blow. If the wind is blowing, you can say it's powered by wind power, then the wind stops or the wind gets weaker. Something has to fill that gap in always be there. So when you add wind and solar onto a grid, you don't remove the need for coal plants, for nuclear plants, for natural gas plants, that work all the time. So to maintain two grids instead of one grid is always more expensive." Source: Fox News

Schatz: We don’t even have to talk about climate action. We can just say wind is cheap, solar is cheap. They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors and have people come to him for indulgences from the king.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright: "With wind and solar, you don't know when they're gonna be there and when they're gonna go away. That's just not productive for the electricity grid. They end up just making the reliable stuff have to turn down when the wind is blowing, turn back up again when the wind dies."

Britain is an island. We have access to lots of wind and waves. It’s common sense to use wind - together with solar power (and waves if we can develop the technology) - in a push for energy independence.

Elon Musk: Here's what we need to have a fully sustainable energy economy. “There are three elements to a sustainable energy future. One is sustainable energy generation, which is primarily wind and solar. There's also hydro, geothermal. I'm actually pro-nuclear. I think nuclear is fine. But it's going to be primarily solar and wind as the primary generators of energy. The second part is you need batteries to store the solar and wind energy, because the sun doesn't shine all the time, the wind doesn't blow all the time. So it's a lot of stationary battery packs. And then you need electric transport. So electric cars, electric planes, boats. And ultimately we can have a fully sustainable energy economy. And it's those three things: solar/wind, stationary battery pack, electric vehicles. So then what are the limiting factors on progress? The limiting factor really will be battery cell production. So that's going to really be the fundamental rate driver.” Source: TED, April 14, 2022.

The best energy policy is always energy freedom, which means: * Sell American energy abroad — *and* cut tariffs * End wind/solar subsidies and mandates — *and* allow wind and solar to compete on a real market

Did you know Australia ranks 12th in the world for the amount of power we make from solar & wind? We’ve built a 42% renewable grid, where 36% of our electricity is powered just by the sun & wind! 📊This graph compares energy use from solar, wind & other renewables.

Sen. King: I don't understand why you continually say wind and solar aren't reliable when your own state is the sixth highest wind source state in the nation and it's saving you from the currently exorbitant cost of fossil fuels.

Rep. Magaziner plays video of Doug Burgum boasting about wind energy production in North Dakota while he was governor. Magaziner: Were you wrong as governor to expand wind energy? Why don’t other states around the country deserve the same? We do. We deserve access to these wind and solar projects that you are blocking.

Reporter: Does the president support this new measure in the big beautiful bill that would impose steep new taxes on new wind and solar projects? Leavitt: I believe you are referring to the credits for wind and solar projects, and -- Reporter: No, there is a new tax that would add 10-20% of the cost of any new wind and solar projects. The national building trades union is saying it is the equivalent of terminating more than 1,000 keystone pipeline projects.

Nuclear generates up to 1,000x more power per square meter than wind/solar. That's why wind and solar need 10–25x more materials for the same energy output. Which energy source is actually "green?" Full video:

HE’S LYING Notwithstanding solar and wind are not "clean energy", it’s an outright lie to claim there is a "global shift to clean energy". The data is clear - there is no "global shift" Globally the world is using more coal, more gas, more oil and more nuclear. It’s also using more solar and more wind and more of everything else - but globally solar and wind are not REPLACING fossil fuels - they are merely ADDITIONAL. Further, Australia is the only nation in world attempting to replace its fossil fuels with prominently intermittent weather dependent sources of energy - solar and wind. No other nation is doing it, because it’s uneconomic and will only impoverish a nation if foolishly attempted. Blackout Bowen’s lies must be called out, because they are going to destroy Australia.

DAVE WALSH: There are about 6 million people in Spain, Portugal, and France without power because they’ve embraced solar and wind electricity generation. It doesn’t work at night, or when it’s cloudy, or when there’s no wind. Also, all the solar panels and batteries are coming from China, and here in the US, taxpayers are subsidizing that!
