John Hinderaker:
One of President Trump’s best qualities is that he understands energy—in particular, the vital need for affordable, reliable energy. Trump understands, further, that “green” energy technologies, wind and solar, are not and cannot ever be either affordable or reliable. They are essentially a heist, an attempt to transfer trillions of dollars out of certain industries, and into others. Also, out of the United States and into China. If the Left can pull it off, it will be the biggest transfer of wealth in human history.
I hate it when Republican politicians subscribe to an “all of the above” approach to energy, which implies that wind and solar have a positive role to play. I think this is wrong: wind and solar are hopelessly expensive, inherently unreliable, serve mostly to disrupt the operation of the grid, and are terrible for the environment.
