  1. That sounds like sarcasm

  2. @HolyAlric I hope you’re capable of seeing the massive gray space between not ruling out military action and wanting to invade.

  3. I appreciate Peter‘s commentary, however, he views the world through rose-colored glasses when it comes to the competency and effectiveness of the US government. If this was even remotely the case, Trump‘s would have made very different cabinet picks, but the US is gov’t is broken, bloated, and spending itself into oblivion. Trump’s picks are not there to get along with the status queue, but instead to disrupt it. To do this, you have to select people from the outside This is done all the time in corporations. A hatchet man is brought in when companies become inefficient, uncompetitive and are at risk of bankruptcy. This has never happened to the US gov’t and is very badly needed. This is far more important than getting cabinet picks that are familiar with the current people, processes and other elements of the establishment.

  4. As someone in the industry, I understand why you it looks this way on the surface, however, this will never happen in our lifetime and adoption rates are well on their way to flattening out. There are huge limitations in several areas that will become apparent to everyone in the near future. This includes availability of materials, logistics, capital, economics, and most of all the majority of people around the world either don’t want this type of solution or don’t care about it. Even today in the US electricity demand is increasing at a rate faster than renewable energy sources are being deployed, so they are actually increasing their need for fossil fuels.

  5.  @vicmontes7314  100% correct. It is driving the need, but it’s also outpacing the supply. I was addressing the bit about not needing much oil and gas on a longer time scale. Oil & gas is here to stay will beyond our lifetimes and I didn’t even address how O&G intensive the manufacturing process is for ‘green’ products.
