These DEMORON f**kers are SLAP NUTS!!!!
THIS “RENEWABLE ENERGY’ FACT PROVES IT A FRAUD!
“Then there are the hydrocarbons and electricity needed to undertake all the mining activities and to fabricate the batteries themselves. In rough terms, it requires the energy equivalent of about 100 barrels of oil to fabricate a quantity of batteries that can store a single barrel of oil-equivalent energy.”
Mark P. Mills, Manhattan Institute Physicist who has written extensively on the subject.
The FULL very long, very informative article is here:

Reinstatement of the CCC seems like pretty small beer stacked up against a modest $500 billion for, heaven help us, “decarbonizing”. But hey, if Experts have OK’d it, who am I to object? Experts. What don’t they know?

•Making the fossil fuel industry pay for their pollution, through litigation, fees, and taxes, and eliminating federal fossil fuel subsidies. •Generating revenue from the wholesale of energy produced by the regional Power Marketing Authorities. Revenues will be collected from 2023-2035, and after 2035 electricity will be virtually free, aside from operations and maintenance costs. •Scaling back military spending on maintaining global oil dependence. •Collecting new income tax revenue from the 20 million new jobs created by the plan. •Reduced need for federal and state safety net spending due to the creation of millions of good-paying, unionized jobs. •Making the wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.

Tax, tax. tax. tax, and tax. Let's wee, we consumers pay for the tariffs but what, we don't pay when energy companies are forced to pay 2x what tariffs are?

Decarbonize air travel? “We will fund a $500 billion effort to research technologies to fully decarbonize industry, and a $150 billion effort to fully decarbonize aviation and maritime shipping and transportation.”

Can you say economic depression?

Putting multiple industries (and many companies) completely out of business; taking those companies stocks to zero will crush the market, the economy, pension plans, retirement accounts. Everyone who heats water or buildings with natural gas or propane spending thousands to replace good units. Brownouts will be frequent and everywhere. Old people with health issues will drop like flies in hot and cold weather because of third world electricity practices.

What a great future the Rats have in store!

$16 trillion? I guess he’s trying to get it done on the cheap.

We’d do better to pay the libs a trillion dollars just to call it off.

“...Ah, there’s something really wrong with that man. He’s not living in the real World...”
Well, for starters, he’s never really held a real job...always lived off the back of those that actually work. He’s a communist/socialist....and, he’s a fricken’ MORON.

Another semi-literate “writer” who can’t figure out that ‘$’ and ‘dollars’ represents the same thing.

This only became common in the last few years, about the time TV pundits began every answer with ‘So.’

Microsoft needs to add a default grammar checker to search for this redundancy. Notification should be via cattle prod.

No nuclear power: “To get to our goal of 100 percent sustainable energy, we will not rely on any false solutions like nuclear, geoengineering, carbon capture and sequestration, or trash incinerators.”

Electric cars for everyone: “Provide $2.09 trillion in grants to low- and moderate-income families and small businesses to trade in their fossil fuel-dependent vehicles for new electric vehicles.”

No more diesel trucks: “…we must spend $216 billion to replace all diesel tractor trailer trucks with fast-charging and long-range electric trucks.”

where will the electricity come from..solar panels on the roof of every vehicle? Is Bernie invested in coal? Batteries? you'll need to take the materials from the planet for the battery. destroy the planet to make the batteries..he's on a roll....who's gonna make all this crap? A socialist government? Sure...whatever...

Anyone with some basic engineering knowledge and a calculator will tell you it can’t be done.
