In spite of Trump's efforts, 92% of new generation in the US last year was solar.

And who could forget Obama's pet Solar company Solyndra that scammed the taxpayers out of a half a billion dollars. I wonder how much of a kickback BHO pocketed?

Renewable energy cant meet future demand and will wreck the economy. Fossil fuels and nuclear are the future and thats where the effort is going. Manufacturing will leave Europe and come here and thats already happening. Three Mile Island is restarting in one year

China currently produces 31% of its electricity from renewable sources including wind, solar, hydroelectricity, and geothermal. While the country is still heavily reliant on coal, estimates predict that by 2026 solar will overtake the fossil fuel as China’s leading energy source. ​
​
The country is also expanding its reach and helping boost green energy adoption in other countries... “China wants to supply green energy goods for the world,” says Samantha Gross, director of the energy security and climate initiative at the Brookings Institution. “The push from the Chinese government to subsidize and really nurture its green energy industries wasn't just to serve the domestic market, it's to serve the global market.” ​

World's Biggest Polluter, China, Is Ramping Up Renewables

China, both a leader in renewable energy and the world’s biggest carbon emitter, is ramping up its green energy.

​

The irrefutable reality is that China is dominating the growing global market for clean energy technologies thanks to science deniers in the U.S.

However, 2024 has brought immense challenges, with higher interest rates, tighter financing, and adverse policy shifts in key states contributing to over 100 solar bankruptcies based on our industry data, a number unseen before in our almost 20 years in the solar sector.

California was particularly hard hit due to new net metering rules under NEM 3.0 that radically reduced system economics.

These adverse state policy impacts exacerbated financing shifts, triggering plummeting demand and an 80% decrease in rooftop solar installation volume. The California Solar & Storage Association reports that the fallout includes thousands of stalled projects, over 17,000 industry layoffs, and a wave of high-profile bankruptcies.

While stronger players demonstrate some resilience, impacted homeowners and solar employees face prolonged uncertainty. The outright collapse of many once fast-growing solar firms provides a sobering case study on the potential unintended consequences of incentive transitions.

Silly ass, ever hear of a Whippet? Or dozens of other early attempts to build autos? A new product always attracts many attempts to seize the opportunity to manufacture it. And most will fail. But the survivors will supply us with that product. And with 92% of new generation being solar last year, I think there will be plenty of survivors. But keep up your silly flapyap and be remembered as an ignorant Luddite.

Dumb ***** like you prosecuted Galileo. We have plenty of sources of rare earths right here in this nation. We just need to work on less expensive ways of recovering them.

Yes, we already established that when government fails to support technological progress, others will exploit that failure.

That is the fundamental problem with the Left. They just can't wrap their heads around the fact that "MAGAs" (an annoying term to say the least) are not a monolithic group think collective. That is clearly false but they reject all proof of that because it ruins the simplicity of painting all 'MAGAs' with one broad brush.

You mean the CA HS rail thats never been built and no one wants. HS rail will never happen in America because of the way we distribute our population. Its illegal for a train to go faster than 60MPH through a populated area. We have cites suburbs and rural areas. It takes just as long to drive from Wash DC to Boston as it does to drive. Its easier to fly

They might even have the courage to answer basic climate questions, which you can't do... without admitting CO2 is not the cause of Earth climate change...


EMH

Thread 'Any honest media person with the courage to actually ask climate questions?'

Apparently not.

Not on Faux

Not on RAV or OANN


What questions will the media never ask?


1. Why does one Earth polar circle have 9+ times the ice of the other?
2. Why is there ice age glacier south of Arctic Circle on Greenland but no such ice age glacier north of Arctic Circle on Alaska?
3. If the oceans are "warming" why is the record decade for canes still the 1940s?
4. If the oceans are "rising" why can't we see one single photo of land sinking?
5. How did Co2 thaw North America and freeze Greenland at the same time?



The Co2 Fraud is bilking America out of $200 billion per...
