Surely even Trumpsters recognize that the days of dirty energy are numbered.
The least they could do is sincerely advocate for R&D on clean, renewable energy.
You'd think we could all agree on at least THAT.
But I don't think that's allowed in their world.
.
What good does "advocating" do when the MARKET isn't going to (and never should) listen to anything beyond price?
Private industry will handle the R&D, getting politics involved will just slow things down and cause a rush to feed at the Washington favoritism trough; when "clean, renewable" is price competitive with "dirty, nonrenewable" then consumers will choose it in significant amounts.
.. and as far as the "days of dirty energy are numbered" , how do you figure that? Developing countries are perfectly happy burning fossil fuels and will be for the foreseeable future so we'll have plenty of customers for our fossil fuels for many years to come, even if/when our domestic energy supply goes majority clean/renewable.
