Whether you like it or not, until green energy technology advances our world is reliant on oil. Europe showed that. Best not to be be against oil right now.

No, I'd rather not be held hostage by Saudi Arabia who can jack up prices anytime they want.
Keep oil production the same but invest heavily in energy diversification which would bring true energy independence.

Yeah like nuclear energy predominately

Nuclear is not bad. But we need to diversify, can't rely on one source of energy.

Cool. Most green energy sucks, is expensive, and is not efficient.

Not true. Solar, wind, geothermal, hydro are good non-dispatchable sources we can use to diversify.

You clearly are not an engineer…

Not true. We don’t even have batteries that are capable of banking most the energy we get from many of those forms of power

Hence why they are called non-dispatchable. You need to have both dispatchable and non-dispatchable for true energy independence.

dispatchable isn’t even a word lol

You said green energy sucks. I gave you an example. It’s pretty simple..

Ok cool. Don’t know what this really has to do with anything

Green energy is cheaper than any but keep lying because that's what Republicans told you to believe
Janderss182 t1_itunuyw wrote
Actually it’s not but keep lying because you’re an ideologue and can’t think outside of what your bullshit political parties tell you to think
Janderss182 t1_itunwci wrote
Far from a republican bud

How advanced does it need to be? It works, like right now. We need to invest in the infrastructure for it.
