        The oil industry is like big tobacco they denied smoking caused cancer for decades. The fossil fuel industry lobbies like hell and buys politicians to maintain its market share. They don't like cheaper and cleaner competition!

            From Chris Wright US Secretary of Energy ;

            1. Energy is essential to life and the world needs more of it!

            2. The modern world today is powered by and made of hydrocarbons.

            3. Hydrocarbons are essential to improving the wealth, health, and life opportunities for the less energized seven billion people who aspire to be among the world’s lucky one billion.

            4. Hydrocarbons supply more than 80% of global energy and thousands of critical materials and products.

            5. The American Shale Revolution transformed energy markets, energy security, and geopolitics.

            6. Global demand for oil, natural gas, and coal are all at record levels and rising – no energy transition has begun.
            7. Modern alternatives, like solar and wind, provide only a part of electricity demand and do not replace the most critical uses of hydrocarbons. Energy-dense, reliable nuclear could be more impactful.

            8. Making energy more expensive or unreliable compromises people, national security, and the environment.

            9. Climate change is a global challenge but is far from the world’s greatest threat to human life.

            10. Zero Energy Poverty by 2050 is a superior goal compared to Net Zero 2050.

            What's to argue with any of the above?

              Its a long transition.

              But renewable growth is accelerating and the economics of lower cost renewables have made renewables much more attractive.

              But politicians like tRump, Smith and Moe want to interfere in the market and slow down the adoption of renewables so that they can serve their fossil fuel friends and supporters.

              Thanks to demented donny's stupid war in Iran the push to transition away from imported fossil fuels has speeded up.

                And Chris Wright US secretary of Energy is a tRump ass kisser that no doubt supported the war in Iran. So any suggestion that he or tRump can be trusted is out the window!

                Remember Texas and North Dakota have lots of renewables!

                  Secretary Wright is recognized as one of Trumps top appointments whose opinion is widely respected.
                  Will agree, not all Trumps appointments have the same level of respect for their qualifications or opinions.

                  Which of the 10 points would you debate secretary Wright on?

                    He completely dismisses renewables while there is rapid growth taking place in many parts of the world!

                    We are going to need lots of fossil fuels for a while but the world is well in the transition to cleaner energy sources.

                    tRump is against renewables because his oil buddies and supporters don't want to lose market share. He wont be in power very long and consumers are tired of his higher oil prices.

                      Bud you gotta try some bud. Your sermons man sound like some breathless evangelical preacher about to keel over from hypoxia.
