Good day all. This came out on November 4th, and promptly blew up in the face of President* Retard. He announced that he plans to shut down all coal fired power plants in the United States and replace them with windmills, sunshine and unicorn farts.
Needless to say, this was yet more proof that Mush for Brains doesn’t have the best interests of the United States or the American people at heart. (If he ever did) Here are the details from Fox Business News:
President Biden said Friday that coal plants are too expensive to operate, and “we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America” in order to shift to wind power in a comment that drew criticism from the Republican National Committee.
“I was in Massachusetts about a month ago on the site of the largest old coal plant in America,” Biden said at an event in Carlsbad, California, on Friday. “Guess what? It cost them too much money. They can’t count. No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it. Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of the existence of the plant.
Now there is little doubt that coal fired plants are slowly being replaced, but cost isn’t the reason. Coal is dirty and it does cost money to fit all the antipollution systems. However, these costs are built into any new plants that are constructed, and it’s cheaper then retrofitting an old plant. Besides, the plants are being replaced with Natural Gas.
As for being unreliable? The base technology is over a century old, it was what powered the United States through two world wars and is far more efficient then solar or wind. Of course, mush for brains has no clue about any of this and only recites back what he’s been told to say.
“So it’s going to become a wind generation. And all they’re doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on, we’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power, also providing tax credits to help families buy energy efficient appliances, whether it’s your refrigerator or your coffee maker, for solar panels on your home, weatherize your home, things that save an average, experts say, a minimum of $500 a year for the average family.”
Solar and wind power is not cheaper. It’s actually far more expensive and very unreliable. It also has a much larger “foot print” then coal, gas or nuclear power plants. Besides, if the sun isn’t shining, the solar plants aren’t generating. Wind farms have a great reputation as bird Cuisinarts and have to have special permits to turn bald eagles into feathery mulch. Also, if the wind isn’t blowing, no power is being generated.
The blowback, of course, was quick and loud, especially from the Democrat Backstabber, Joe Manchin. It was so loud that the White House once again had to walk back one of Bumbles Dementia Biden’s remarks. Here are those details from the Daily Wire:
The White House walked back remarks from President Joe Biden (D) on Friday, (November 4th), after the president said he was going to be shutting down coal plants across the country amid an energy crisis.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Chairman of the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee, responded to Biden’s remarks by calling them “outrageous and divorced from reality.”
“Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure,” Manchin said. “Let me be clear, this is something the President has never said to me.”
Divorced from reality definitely describes both Dementia Joe Biden and his maladministration. This is what happens when the Easter Bunny is left at the White House when President* Tapioca Brains goes out of town.
The White House tried to do damage control over Biden’s remarks with Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre issuing a long statement claiming that people are twisting the words that Biden said, even though they are just quoting the president.
Yeah, good luck with that!
President Biden knows that the men and women of coal country built this nation: they powered its steel mills and factories, kept its homes and schools and offices warm.
Oh I doubt that! Oh wait a moment, I just recalled something. The Pathological Liar likes to claim that one of his ancestors worked in the coal mines. Of course, like everything else the Liar in Chief has ever said, it wasn’t even close to being true. According to Breitbart:
“Hell, I might be president now if it weren’t for the fact I said I had an uncle who was a coal miner,” Biden told Stewart. “Turns out I didn’t have anybody in the coal mines, you know what I mean? I tried that crap — it didn’t work.”
The statement from the White House press office continued with the lies about what Dementia Joe Biden has done. It also tries to “Clarify” just what he meant when he said he was going to close down all the coal fired power plants.
The President was commenting on a fact of economics and technology: as it has been from its earliest days as an energy superpower, America is once again in the midst of an energy transition. Our goal as a nation is to combat climate change and increase our energy security by producing clean and efficient American energy.
In reality, Biden and the Democrats are actively destroying America’s energy production and generation infrastructure. They started this on day one of his maladministration and are continuing it to this day. Winter is coming and we do not have enough heating oil for those areas that use it, and it’s exploded in price. Many people are going to have to choose between starving and freezing to death. Natural gas isn’t much better, especially since the idiot has been shipping our gas off to Europe.
Under President Biden, oil and natural gas production has increased, and we are on track to hit the highest production in our country’s history next year. He is determined to make sure that this transition helps all Americans in all parts of the country, with more jobs and better opportunities; it’s a commitment he has advanced since Day One. No one will be left behind.
That was a flat out lie. In fact, the United States is producing less oil today then it was January 19th, 2021. The first thing the Senile Retard did was kill the KeystoneXL pipeline which would have moved 500K barrels of oil a day to refineries. Energy companies have been unable to lease drilling rights because the Biden Maladministration won’t hold any auctions. I won’t be at all surprised to hear that people froze to death in their own homes because they couldn’t get the fuels they need to heat them. Don’t expect Biden, his maladministration or the Democrats to give a damn either.
