I’ve been thinking about this ever since the debate the other night. I’m not a believer in climate change, as so much of that data has been shown to be inaccurate and manipulated just to invoke fear. (Which is pretty similar to Covid, right?)
Anyway, I’m still trying to understand the push to end all oil and coal by the Democrats. What would it benefit them for the entire nation to turn to renewable energy? Are they going to make big money off it? Is it purely altruistic?
Biden said in the debate on Tuesday that he would end all oil and coal by 2035 and that it would, in return, give us thousands of jobs with higher pay. If there are currently millions of jobs invested in oil and gas, and it feeds so much of our GNP, how will the switch to renewable effect our country? It seems to me like a lot of people will lose their jobs and it is going to cost our nation a ton of money to not only build it, but also in not being able to export it.
I honestly don’t know if that is wrong or right - I’ve tried to read so much on it the past few days but it’s all contradictory and mostly opinion based. I know Germany is doing away with coal, and other nations have as well. Just wondering about the eventual global impact of that. Will China ever have to give up coal, or do they get a free pass?
Educate me!! Would love to hear all your answers.
