Reason 3
Trump and the republicans are climate change deniers. They are against renewable energy, both wind and solar, in spite of the fact that just about every prepper owns a solar panel because they know the value of solar. As you may know, many preppers are trumpists.
Unfortunately, this results in delay in retarding the rate of global warming. It discourages American industries from investing in producing renewable energy devices such as solar and wind turbines. This gives our economic adversaries a competitive advantage and essentially a monopoly. It weakens our country. Trump keeps on claiming that china is pushing this technology on us but does not use it itself. This is false, unfortunately trumpists are gullible and believe anything that comes out of Trump's mouth.
Trump has actively cancelled wind farms. Everything he does is out of ignorance and stubbornness and does not serve our country, the environment or our energy independence.
It is funny to hear Trump brag that we are energy independent yet he is also bragging that we are getting "10 boats of oil from Iran". First of all why do we need oil from Iran if we are energy independent? Furthermore, Iran is not giving us the oil they are only allowing the boats to pass without being blown up. Trump talks like we were given free oil.
For those of you who like to make informed decision based on facts you may want to listen to the 1st hour of the following youtube video by Technology Connections. The video is about an hour and a half but the last half hour is off topic with respect to energy but still something you might consider listening to. You may become a little more human and make better decisions if you listen with an open mind.
youtube video:
"You are being misled about renewable energy technology."
