Exactly as I said! Tens of billions wasted on the hoax of 'global warming' by your demented that has done NOTHING to make energy more affordable for the poor and middle class.supraTruth » 22 May 2022, 3:41 pm » wrote: ↑ **** U ******* LYING TRUMPER SCUM!
In 2008, wind and solar energy were just blips on the U.S. electricity grid: Solar energy produced 0.1 percent of the country’s power; wind less than 1 percent. Renewables were on the rise, but their contribution to the electricity grid remained vanishingly small — almost half came from coal.
Democrats won control of both houses of Congress. They soon sent a stimulus package to Obama that provided over $25 billion to renewable energy generation, $20 billion to energy efficiency programs, $18 billion to transit programs, and $10 billion to modernizing the country’s electricity grid, among other miscellaneous projects.And although the Recovery Act was frequently mocked — Republicans labeled it the “failed stimulus” — its effect on renewable power was undeniable. Today, solar and wind provide 9 percent of the country’s electricity, while coal has fallen to 23 percent.
In the decade following the Recovery Act, wind generation quintupled, and solar generation multiplied by a factor of 48.
And liberal dopes like you LOVE it!
