Trump energy secretary and super genius Chris Wright blames wind and solar power for rising electricity prices. And claims, without proper battery technology, wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially “worthless” when it is dark and when the wind isn’t blowing.
Another ignorant fossil fuel stooge.
The secretary’s remarks came just days after Trump called green energy alternatives “THE SCAM OF THE CENTURY.”

Newsom: - "Excited for the Trump admin to learn about BATTERIES.”
Even Musk chimed in with some mockery...
Does this moron think the wind doesn't blow at night? We had a YUUUGE! solar spill in Michigan and sunshine was found all over the ground!
Batteries? We don't need no stinkin' batteries!
First of all ... Solar and wind aren’t “worthless” when it’s dark or calm. Their output is variable but very predictable. Grid-connected renewables use storage, geographic diversity, and backups to stay reliable. All generation types face downtime for maintenance, fuel, & safety.
We are governed by some of the dumbest fucking people in the history of this country, proudly, unashamedly, openly moronic and ignorant, and I am not sure how the US ever recovers from this.
