02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMWhat they should be doing is stop poisoning the earth with pesticides and stop chopping trees down that help with carbon. Pylons and solar panels everywhere are just going to add to the Destruction of the Environment😮

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMIf you use a third of the power created by turbine to power itself. You would still have 2/3 rds of the power for free 😮

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AM''green energy'' is way way worse on climate change and pollution than just simply using the coal and oil and natural gas we have been using.
none of these new green energy sources can supply our needs, all they do is burn tons of ''dirty'' energy to create them and install them costing billions and then contribute less to the grid than the amount of oil,coal and natural gas and mineral mining used to make them.
biomass is the biggest scam of all, burning TREES that clean the air and reduce carbon to fuel the the generating stations. and they burn rubber and old tires and natural gas to get the trees to burn anyway. corn raised by millions of acres of gas and diesel powered farm equipt.that is then trucked to the plants to just burn it creating more pollution than if we just used the oil, coal and natural gas to begin with.
SOMEONE IS GETTING RICH off of brainwashing these ''eco-groups'' and protesters and college kids to push their industry.
IT NEEDS TO STOP WHILE WE STILL HAVE A PLANET.

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMIf U want 2 preserve the life in earth, 1 way is use of renewable energy, 4 example solar energy, esp. solar energy, an inexhaustible source of energy

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMHere’s an idea.. why not drop fuel prices to $2.0/gallon by drilling, an charge a tax of $.25/gallon for renewables. As long as fuel stays low, the tax remains. If fuel goes up, the tax decreases. 376M gallons pumped each day in America = $34B annually in tax revenue. Everyone wins.

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMwind turbines only produce energy 20-22% of the time, due to lack of or to much wind, breakdowns and maintenance etc. Figures quoted are always based on them working 100% of the time, which never happens or even comes close !!!!

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMNon sense. We have more than enough,"energy" for normal people. Only those who want more than Peace and Family "need" tyranny and infinite energy. Call the Scam!

02/13/2025 - 11:04 AMRenewable energy:
-Generated from sources that never run out
-hydro electric
-wood
-Solar energy
-Wind energy
-Biomass
Reduces pollution
Never run out
Very little to operate
Healthy for environment avoids green house gases
Hard to generate energy
Ecological disruption
Only generate when sun is present or wind is moving
