The re-election of Donald Trump provides an opportunity to correct the devastating agenda of the green new deal extremists.\u00a0 Inexpensive and ample supplies of energy are essential to the progress of our economy.\u00a0 Solar and wind will never produce sufficient reliable energy to fuel a modern society.\u00a0 Impossible, as the Europeans have found out.<\/p>\n

It is very discouraging to realize that many of our elected Republicans believe the man-made climate change hoax and are therefore willing to support things like carbon neutrality.\u00a0 There is no reliable scientific evidence that man\u2019s consumption of fossil fuels has altered the environment!\u00a0 <\/strong>The environmental extremists base their scare tactics about manmade global warming on computer models generated by their fellow believers.\u00a0 The truth is that the earth\u2019s temperature has varied substantially long before there were enough human beings to impact the CO2 levels.\u00a0 There have been at least eight ice age\/warming periods over the earth\u2019s history going back several million years.\u00a0 We are now in a global warming cycle from the last ice age that occurred over 10,000 years ago.\u00a0 So the first thing we need to do is to ensure that our lawmakers are not taken in by the climate change extremists.\u00a0 We also need to stop indoctrinating our children with the man-made climate hoax.<\/p>\n

As President Trump has advocated, we need to \u201cdrill baby drill\u201d for oil and natural gas, both of which we are fortunate to have an abundant supply.\u00a0 We also need to return to coal burning plants since we have the technology to ensure that coal is burned efficiently and cleanly;\u00a0 instead of shipping our coal to China, which is greatly expanding their coal fired plants and doing so with little concern for the environment.\u00a0 President Trump\u2019s recent announcement of our withdrawal from the globalist so-called Paris Accords which are detrimental to America is a step in the right direction.\u00a0 Remember, that cheap and abundant energy will enhance our ability to compete with other countries in manufacturing.<\/p>\n

All government subsidies and tax incentives for solar, wind and electrical vehicles need to be stopped immediately.\u00a0 Wind farms off our coast are an environmental hazard that only enriches China.\u00a0 A recent study conducted by the conservative John Locke Foundation estimates that continued movement towards wind and solar will produce an enormous increase in energy prices in our country.\u00a0 Not only are wind and solar expensive and produce unreliable energy, but due to their intermittent energy production, extensive battery storage capacity (or more likely backup fossil fuel plants) will still be needed.\u00a0 Experts have recently predicted that a full implementation of Artificial Intelligence will require a threefold electrical capacity increase nationwide.<\/p>\n

The final solution to energy production is nuclear power.\u00a0 Due to the environmental extremists scare tactics and excessive regulation, there has not been a nuclear power plant built in North Carolina since the Shearon Harris plant near Raleigh was completed in 1987.\u00a0 This despite the improved safety and ability to produce nuclear power plants of smaller size, which could be located closer to customer demand.\u00a0 The European Union is planning on increasing their nuclear plants due in large measure to the ineffectiveness of wind and solar.\u00a0 Currently, France generates over 70% of their electricity from nuclear reactors.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is that we need to do away with the move towards wind and solar and go back to the common sense approach of relying on fossil fuels and nuclear power.\u00a0 If we do not, we will be unable to maintain our economy and grow for the future.\u00a0 Our conservative lawmakers need to make this happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
