That's pretty dead on in regards to what's being said.

The Biden/Harris Admin is spending your taxpayer money to support terrorist groups.

Terrorists are FAR more clever than dipshit leftists.

What did he say that wasn't?

Wait let me get some

 

[LouderVol]

Everything said on TV shows is real

should be pretty easy to refute at least some of what he said then.

Apparently that's true w/Biden & Harris. .

"Green" US government retards pushed Ecuador into heavy, heavy hydro a decade or so ago with zero encouragement or incentive to invest in a real backup plan other than a useless wind farm.

Well, now they're in a severe drought and the source that provides 80% of their electricity is virtually offline. 8-14 hour blackout periods every day in their capital.

Our gov is so corrupt..

What were they mostly using before?

“Good news: amortizing the carbon cost over the decades-long lifespan of the equipment, Bernstein determined that wind power has a carbon footprint 99% less than coal-fired power plants, 98% less than natural gas, and a surprise 75% less than solar.”

How Green Is Wind Power, Really? A New Report Tallies Up The Carbon Cost Of Renewables

Building and erecting wind turbines requires hundreds of tons of materials — steel, concrete, fiberglass, copper, and more exotic stuff like neodymium and dysprosium used in permanent magnets.

Fossil fuels, largely oil-fired plants based on a quick search. The initial hydro push was in the 80s it looks like- but has expanded drastically recently.

I'm all about hydro. It's great, but in a drought... That's the whole problem with "Renewables" is that when they don't work they don't work.

I don't have a problem with the power itself. It's the absolute gutting of all backup options that causes the issue.

Thermal could be done easily in Ecuador, too. More biomass (especially from the coffee and cocoa industries). Heck, even solar would work fine.

But instead, they have nothing.

I know our military has a presence there. Seems like a real half-assed measure to ensure cooperation. None of this is surprising of course.

Still higher than nuclear and way less reliable.

All of these "green" analyses miss the freaking point. They have an end goal- generate power. It should be about finding the balance between cleanliness and ACTUALLY DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO.

If the green-weenies were serious about clean energy they would be pushing nuclear and natural gas.

They're going to be forced into nuclear since AI data centers are going to suck down 30% plus of our electrical grid capacity within a few years.

Greenies want us living in hollowed out trees
and not bathing is a prerequisite

mini nukes for AI data centers..
