The Left is doing it wrong.

We need to stop calling it the green New Deal; and call it the Patriot Power Act.

We’re not trying to go green or “Woke”. No! We’re making ’Merca energy independent! We’ll stop importing oil from the tourist countries! And be energy self sufficient!

—BRANDING!!

    right winger here. We love off grid solar power. We don’t quite understand why the left loves the massive pollution aspect of it though. I thought you guys were anti pollution?

      You assert that “the left loves the massive pollution aspect of it” and expect someone to take you seriously? I hope you are trolling, because this statement isn’t very well thought out. My understanding of the majority leftist energy position is that renewables like solar are preferable to burning hydrocarbons because of a lower lifetime environmental footprint. Do you have a different understanding of how leftists think?

        of course it’s a troll, but it’s true. Mining for material and manufacturing solar panels is incredibly dirty, and the massive water use to clean them all the time is not environmentally friendly.
