“It Is Common Knowledge That Whale Oil Is the Only Reliable Source of Energy.”

Wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside, and the wind is not blowing. https://t.co/61rquLn5bg

Energy Secretary Attacks Offshore Wind and Dismisses Climate Change

Chris Wright, who travels to Europe next week to promote American gas, called climate change “not incredibly important.”

Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Friday defended the Trump administration’s decision to block a nearly completed $6.2 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island by saying offshore wind increases electricity prices and by downplaying the jobs at stake.

Energy experts accused Mr. Wright of oversimplifying the economics of offshore wind energy, noting that while it requires a significant amount of upfront capital to build a project, it was expected to create more than 55,000 jobs by the end of the decade and enough electricity to inexpensively power 22 million homes before the Trump administration took steps to throttle the nascent industry.

A former fracking executive, Mr. Wright said the focus in the United States to transition away from fossil fuels had hurt the country...

He called the 2015 Paris agreement, in which the United States and nearly every other country pledged to reduce greenhouse gases, “silly.”

“Climate change, for impacting the quality of your life, is not incredibly important,” Mr. Wright said. “In fact, if it wasn’t in the news, in the media, you wouldn’t know.”...

Sometimes you just have to take a moment, sit back, and wonder at the towering stupidity, not just of Trump and his cabinet, and his department heads, and not just the Republican senators who confirmed most of them, but of the tens of millions of racist, inbred meatbags who voted for all of this in three consecutive elections. 

 Sure, it's all horrible, but sometimes one incident sticks its head above the Great Scrum of Idiocy and demands special attention. 

Like rubbernecking a multi-car pileup the size of Montana where one group of idiots just keep driving more cars into the burning wreckage, while a much larger group of idiots cheer them on.  And then one brave man steps forward and announces, "Damn it, it's not enough to just pile my car into the inferno! I'm shall build a mighty ramp of paper-mâché and Trump flags and jump straight to the top of it in a motorcycle made of farts and old dynamite."
