President Trump told CPAC attendees on Saturday, "When I look at what's happening on the other side, I encourage it. ... Is the wind blowing today? I'd like to watch television, darling.” The president was making a fundamental and inarguable point. No one can rely 100 percent on renewable energy because it's not available anywhere close to 100 percent of the time.
Thanks to the "Green New Deal," energy (or rather the lack of it) will be one of the top three issues in the 2020 election. Yet the president will go into this fight with one arm tied behind his back. More than 100 corporations are committed to going 100 percent renewable, including Bloomberg, Facebook, Google, Nike, and Starbucks, aided and abetted by the federal government validating spurious claims of renewable energy usage.
