  1. It's why companies and even small businesses have gone back to apprenticeship programs or even setting up schools. And somehow manage to take high school dropouts or barely passing graduates and teach them basic math to trig. Teach them to read blueprints, schematics. Design, build or repair. Every possible thing their schools and teacher's didn't. But everyone needs. Because social issue degrees or diplomas. Take precedent. But don't really have a big demand in any sort of production. Except for insurrection.

  2. Any logical person ,engineer, even level headed environmentalist can tell you. Multiple power sources with a properly set up grid are required to run an efficient ,viable ,reliable system. Solar and wind are great, but must be set up properly to maximize distribution during peak production times and have a fast reacting counter part, to compensate for their inherent ups and downs of production. Natural gas is the cleanest choice and also can become cleaner as technology improves. Eliminating natural gas as a fuel source for cooking and heat is irresponsible. And ultimately is worse for the environment. Every time you have to convert energy from one form to another. You lose efficiency. There are engineering groups that have looked at this in detail. Almost all agree. All power sources should be on the table. To work in conjunction with each other to produce the cleanest most reliable power available with the flexibility to upgrade as technology improves. To force unrealistic goals by eliminating options only increases global emissions. Creates an unreliable system (Texas, California are 2 examples). It's what you get when politicians try to play engineer. And agendas, narratives replace facts. This man has given simple facts that even the uneducated should be able to comprehend. He's also very politely exposed some of the falsehoods the "green movement " would have you believe. This administration and others are destroying our energy production capabilities. With no viable plan to replace what they've destroyed. And are blind to the fact we are headed for catastrophic failure as major power producers go off line permanently. And it's not like you can throw up a nuclear power plant or it's equivalent overnight. Would much rather see a small part of the infrastructure budget go towards a "master plan " For the U.S. power grid taking in consideration future growth. A plan that state's and utilities could follow to build an updated, integrated system, designed by engineers, not by politicians. This would be, in my opinion, a wiser long term investment in our infrastructure . As opposed to 80+thousand new IRS agents. Or government run, babysitting facilities.

  3.  @Duke00x  absolutely correct. No argument. Natural gas is the cleanest organic fuel that is viable.
