Perhaps it might have been a good idea to create these promised new green jobs, before destroying the old jobs?
Biden Energy Nominee Jennifer Granholm: ‘Clean Energy’ Jobs Will Replace Ones ‘That Might Be Sacrificed’
KYLE MORRIS
27 Jan 2021Jennifer Granholm, President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the U.S. Department of Energy, insisted Wednesday that “clean energy” jobs will replace those that “might be sacrificed.”
Granholm’s remarks came during questioning from Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), who pointed out the significant loss of American jobs due to a long-term ban on oil, gas, and coal leasing and permitting on federal lands.

So far nobody has offered to pay the bills or guarantee the mortgages of the union workers whose livelihoods Biden just “sacrificed”.

Biden’s climate plans are energizing national security problems. Emulating California’s energy mistakes will weaken America as the country will be increasing its demands from foreign countries for crude oil supplies and for the materials needed to support the electrification of America. Published Jan 26, 2020 at CFACT https://www.cfact.org/2021/01/26/bidens-climate-plans-are-energizing-national-security-problems/
Summary: Biden’s climate plan may be energizing national security problems with his efforts toward discouraging U.S. energy independence and place the country’s reliance, like California has done, on foreign countries for America’s energy needs. And, as he moves to electrify virtually everything, America’s needs for the exotic minerals and metals that China controls, to support wind, solar, and EV battery construction, will have America beholden to China and other developing countries for our “clean” energy supplies.
Not only does he have a crack team on it, they are huddling with the joint Chiefs.
Is Hunter on that crack team?
Yes, he’s known as the crack head.
Has anyone else noticed that Hunter still has his 10% stake in that CCP controlled corporation? And that the lefty media will not talk about that fact?
I heard it said that Hunter is now advising his dad on how to interact with China. That is blatant corruption, but it is so blatant that many people appear to not see it.
Blatant is the right description. The game is rigged and the MSM is in on it through their sins of omission.
“Has anyone else noticed that Hunter still has his 10% stake in that CCP controlled corporation? And that the lefty media will not talk about that fact?”
Yes, I noticed that. The Leftwing Media shows their partisan bias once again as they ignore Democrat crimes.
Hunter doesn’t have to worry, the Leftwing Media is running interference for him.
They’ve certainly got their heads in their cracks.
I see multiple lithium mining sites being expanded or developed in Canada and the USA… with demand comes expanded production
Do you *ever* research anything before spouting off about it?
Do you *really* think lithium is dug directly out of the ground?
Where do you suppose most of the refinement of lithium containing material occurs?
One would hope so! However, the USA permitting processes are so onerous, and subject to challenge by environmentalists, that it usually takes years just to get final permission and the infrastructure can start to be built. Canada is more friendly towards mining than the USA is. I suspect that the only reason that there is movement in the USA is because Trump was president for the last 4 years.
Griff, That’s true in a general arm waving context. But where are the reserve numbers, investment, and context to pair with the policy-forced production increase? Head counting of some pilot scale projects is not sufficient.
Mining powered by unicorn farts?
Yes, one green union job created for every 10 lost from market distortions and policy blunder.
Spain lost two real jobs for every ‘green’ job created by government mandates and subsidies. Germany and Denmark have the highest electric prices in Europe. That’s what you get when your government pushes unreliables.
3.7 jobs are lost in the UK for every green job created.
http://www.windwatchni.com/uploads/1/6/4/9/16490250/verso_economics_2011_study.pdf
How can that be, Bill ? It is way harder to put up enough solar panels to heat your house and brush the snow off, than it is to wheelbarrow enough coal and take out the ashes !
“the Spanish experience cited by President Obama as a model reveals with high confidence, by two different methods, that the U.S. should expect a loss of at least 2.2 jobs on average, or about 9 jobs lost for every 4 created, to which we have to add those jobs that non-subsidized investments with the same resources would have created.”
However, they don’t care. They can dole out these useless jobs as patronage. And the public will happily pay for them to “save the planet”.
The sad truth is that even the “green jobs created” was a myth. At the start of the Obama Administration was proudly reporting green jobs created by their policies. Unfortunately for them, analysts found the greatest number of so-called green jobs were in garbage collection and bus drivers. They stopped reporting shortly afterwards.
How do low-productivity unreliables jobs earn high union wages?
By extortion.

Yeah, everybody knew all along that it would take: 1) CA forcing its Investor Owned Utilities to buy the output at extreme prices; and 2) additionally, the Feds would have to eventually step in by reducing its capital obligations (write-offs). It is, as usual, the Fed’s fault; instead of developing the technology step-by-step, Obama chose to jump to a full 110MW plant in “one swell foop.”
I was involved in a $1.5 billion write-off of a Fed loan for a coal mine and coal-fired powerplant. There was no place to sell (at cost) the output because the Fed failed to accomplish their promised MX Missile scheme and the oil shale development in the region, resulting in a lack of planned load increases. Again, the Fed’s own fault.
Detroit UAW EVs
The taxpayers will take it in the shorts, again. Its also a great way to push more automobile manufacturing to China; Detroit (and other U.S. sites) will lose jobs.
They get their money the old fashioned way, they buy lobbyists to get bigger subsidies.
Joe create job to replace the ones he is eliminating! Only a fool would believe that claim, even if he demands it by the power of his pen.
It is the government’s version of Popeye’s Wimpy promise: “I’ll gladly pay you on Tuesday for a hamburger today.” Remember how the Soviet Union’s 5-Year Plans never worked out? Didn’t you like it when Soviet factories turned out shoes only for left feet? And when President Ronald Reagan’s: “The most feared words in America are “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.” wasn’t forgotten by the majority? The Swamp, MSM and governmental profiteers (Crony Capitalists) have brainwashed America with Marxist-Lite propaganda.
will take years to replace those jobs….and then no one will hire someone out of work for that long….homeless on the streets does not bother dems one little bit…they’ll just write another check
Guess what people do when they have nothing to lose?
I always admired Trump for doing exactly what he said he would do on the campaign. It looks like Biden is doing the same. Americans get what the majority votes. If people don’t like what they get, vote accordingly next time. Republicans expressing faux outrage should take a step back and strategize how to get more votes next time. Too much whining right now.
Other than whine what can you do?
Whine while bending over?
Point it out, hope people notice, hope Joe walks back the job destruction after his poll numbers drop.
It happened to Slick Willie; helped along by Newt.
RESIST!
Resistance is futile — unless the voting is honest!
No, vote rigging has limits, it only works when there is room for doubt. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got grave concerns about the recent Presidential election.
Bring in Captain Piccard!
ideologically Sir Patrick Stewart is on the same page with Prince Charles and Sir Attenbungle.
Notice I didn’t say “Patrick Stewart.”
Startreck is based on a globalist, fantasy Leftist model.
One in which energy costs are zero.
And energy is so available that there is no need to ration it.
Because energy is free and readily available, everything is more or less free.
If we ever reach a point where energy is free and readily available, something similar will probably happen in our world as well.
Nothing is ever free.
And demand for free stuff is essentially infinite. That is where you get socialist rationing of ‘free’ stuff.
I did say “If”.
However, as productivity increases, the cost of stuff will continue to go down, which will enable people to earn a basic living with even fewer hours of work than are necessary today.
But there will be more stuff to buy. The Rat Race never ends. I know; I have daughters.
“… strategize how to get more votes next time.”
Make sure that it is very difficult to commit voting fraud. However, the Democrats currently in charge have to be convinced that it is in their best interest to do that. Thus, a Catch 22.
Actually, the front runner got many more votes than in 2016. The problem was the larger number of votes that appeared out of nowhere for the guy who finally came out of his bomb shelter to accept the prize.
Judging by the extent of ballot tampering on numerous fronts, I doubt that Biden received more than 50 million votes (if that) Even with all the games, Trump had a 10 million vote increase over last time. It is statistically impossible for him to have lost. In reality, he might have had at least 10 million more than that. He was ahead by a landslide in the five swing states at 10 pm ET.
I sure do wish Trump would show us the fraud numbers.
The Trump Team said at the beginning they were not going to make the evidence of voter fraud public until after the cases were heard in court.
The evidence was never heard in court. The cases were dismissed on technical matters not related to the evidence. So the public has yet to see all the evidence the Trump Team claims they have.
It is understandable that Trump did not come out with the information during the transfer of power. I think it would be prudent to wait a few weeks.
But now, it is time to show the evidence.
We need the evidence to fuel our new efforts for voter reform, and we don’t like our leader being called a llar, if it’s not true.
The Trump Team can’t just say “never mind”. That’s not going to cut the mustard.
I agree with you completely. I was able to take it on faith (combined with common sense, some 1st hand observation and raw statistics) but eventually it must be presented for scrutiny. We can’t keep making allegations without evidence, any more than we have allowed the Democrats to do that. But not everyone can handle the truth … (thank you Col. Jessep)
However, presenting the anecdotal (eye witness) evidence is fraught with alarm bells. Unless Trump was president with the power to protect them from having their lives destroyed (which would happen) that evidence is not there. The other problem is; let’s say the Trump Team provides it … who are they going to tell? Already the MSM have shadow banned all sorts of things. I think the Trump Team has already run into a stone wall. I really love the following Mark Twain quote:
I don’t think people even want to learn the truth, in general. People tend to believe things that cater to their comfort level … and that make them feel safe. I sense most people are afraid to look into the void … the real possibility that the Left is gaining serious ground.
PS …
I forgot to add that releasing the actual evidence of fraud will not change any minds. As Mark Twain said: “it’s easier to fool a man than to convince him he has been fooled”. Unbelievers and Trump haters will just say; “you made it up”. Most will say it’s “last year’s news”, spilled milk”, :stale bread” or whatever, “move on” truth doesn’t matter to them. The rest of us already understand how statistically impossible it was for Biden to have got the highest support in history.
I mean, if the material is released, by what method can it be authenticated to the public. Hell, at least 1/3rd of the population believe in zombies, ferchristsake.
“We can’t keep making allegations without evidence”
That’s the bottom line.
As for evidence, I heard Trump say at one of his last public speeches that one of the contested States (don’t remember which) had 205,000 more votes cast than there were registered voters in that State. And he said there were similar circumstances in three or four of the other contested States.
So, if that’s the case, it ought to be pretty easy to prove. If it is the case, then this is definitely a case of voter fraud.
This particular evidence would not put Trump back in the White House, or even show that Trump won more votes than Biden, but it would show that the numbers we have are based partly on fraud.
That alone would certainly be enough to make people want to reform their voting rules, and it would at least give some credibilty to Trump’s claims.
And If Trump has more evidence than that, and I presume he does, then that will just add to his case that the election was rigged and something needs to be done to assure the honesty of future elections.
And keep in mind that every Republican politcian who supported Trump’s claims of election fraud is now being labeled a liar and worse, because the Trump Team has not presented enough evidence to shut his detractors up.
We need your evidence, Donald. For many reasons.
We’ve seen all the evidence we are going to see. Not because fraud didn’t occur but because a lot of the evidence was in affidavits of witnessed oddities, oddities that need to be investigated to determine if there was any there there or not. With the Dems in charge those investigations will not occur.
Even easily provable fraud like dead people voting takes cooperation from state election officials so voter roles can be cross checked with who voted, cooperation that will not happen without court backed orders. States already proved that wont happen when Trump formed a team to investigate fraud, a team that did not have power to subpoena records. Consequently states gave them the middle finger until the investigating team fell apart due to lack of anything to do.
“We’ve seen all the evidence we are going to see.”
I hope you are wrong because if that’s the case, then Trump has made unsubstantiated claims that can’t be backed up with facts and that’s not the kind of politician I’m looking for. I’m looking for an honest president.
I can’t imagine that Trump would make such election fraud claims if he did not have a good reason to do so. That’s my opinion of him now.
Time will tell.
There didn’t need to be any cheating for Biden to win, not that there wasn’t some cheating. Once the states went to mail-in ballots, the election was over.
For years, the Democrats have sought the votes of “their” supporters – the young and the poor.
These groups represent the laziest and most ignorant parts of the country. The young get their news from Twitter and Facebook and, of course, the paid progressive propagandists known as teachers and professors. The poor have TV and movies, both controlled by progressives.
The problem was that these groups don’t vote in large numbers. The Democrats hit college campuses, arranged buses to bring people to the polls but no matter what, the young and the poor didn’t show up.
The solution? If you can’t bring Mohammad to the Mountain, bring the Mountain to Mohammad. Mail them the ballots! Even the laziest, most ignorant people can find their way to the mailbox. And they did.
In fairness to the poor, they don’t have the time to learn about the candidates especially during the pandemic when basic survival becomes their prime focus. The poor aren’t lazy, just ignorant with little time to remedy that condition.
On the other hand, the young are both lazy and ignorant, though largely because of incredibly bad public education.
If you don’t want a repeat of 2020 in 2024, spend more time with your kids. Consider pulling them out of public schools and stop paying to send them to those ivy walled citadels of ignorance where they’ll only learn about gender, racism and the evils of the free market.
I don’t disagree with your thesis on how the Democrats have utilized the groups you single out, but mail in ballots alone don’t explain the massive irregularities. The list of infractions which would have disqualified votes is as long as your arm. Ejecting and distancing the Republican pole watchers is a violation. Irregularities with the voting machines and stopping the vote harvesting could have been easily corrected. No single thing caused the shift but rather it was the general and widespread occurrences that shifted the vote.
Sure, the inroads made with the young and poor were right out of the Marxist playbook, but conservatives have been warning about that for decades.
Hawaii has introduced a bill to drop the voting age down to 16.
Clyde when the numbers do not add up The Donald must be right , once again. ,Oh I am wrong and the New York Times and the Washington Post are in tune with Chit Not News.
Except, the Republicans DID get the votes. Trump himself got 10 million more than in 2016 (probably closer to 25 million more). We’re expected to believe Biden got more votes than Obama. We’re expected to believe Biden got most of his votes in the middle of the night after the polls closed. We’re expected to believe that all the indicators favoured Trump with several million to one odds. It is simply not possible for Biden to have won without massive fraud.
Actually, four years of around the clock MSM hate speech, blame for COVID19 and mail-in voting for the too-lazy-to-vote people pretty much cinched it. Abraham Lincoln said it all: “You can fool all the people …”
Yes, you do have a point and it has been pretty much accepted that electronic (social) media swayed the vote by approx. 6%, with a further 6% from the MSM. However, that being said; when dead people vote, out of state people vote and no validity checks were conducted on mail in ballots to check for all the other fraudulent means to fake a ballot … well, you know the answer.
Let’s see what they get up to in the next two years and what the mid terms show.
except Joe didn’t promise to shut Keystone or ban fracking … so Biden IS NOT doing the same thing …
Biden promised to do both during the primaries. He then declared that he had never made such promises, and all they myrmidons nodded their heads in agreement.
Wrong! It is NOT whining to point out incorrect LOGIC in a leaders ACTIONS!!!
It is whining to complain without offering a reason why the action is incorrect and explain what should be done that will result in a better outcome for the majority. Many people in the majority have incorrect assumptions about the outcomes. It does not require much shift in sentiment for a divided public to change its opinion from a minority opinion to a majority one.
If no one explains the bad logic driven by emotions, instead of reason we will continue to get bad decisions that are forced on people for emotion-driven reason.
So RelPerm, did you say the same thing to the people in the Trump resistance movement? Did you criticize all the politicians and journalists that claimed they had incontrovertible proof that Trump colluded with the Russians to steal the 2016 election? How about all the “whiners” that demonstrated and rioted over the last 10 months?
But that’s different …
Suggesting building solar panels is the ultimate in ignorance. Though typical for lib dems who can’t appreciate the distinction between high paying oil field jobs vs competing with Chinese slave labor which is where most of the solar panels are built. But Senator Ketchup Joementia isn’t smart enough to tell the difference.
Odds are, they simply don’t care. Their allegiance is solely to their families, friends and financial backers.
Follow the money. NO CANCEL THAT follow HUNTER. !!!!
Same thing
The number of employees in a typical PV module production line is quite small, owing to high automation.
And every time the minimum wage goes up, the amount of automation increases.
If you want to cure a nation of leftism just vote them in once and wait.
I’ve had similar thoughts. But people can be remarkably persistent once they embrace a stupid idea.
The main opposition leader in Venezuela is a socialist. Venezuelans still believe in socialism, even as they salvage half rotten food out of the trash to fend off starvation, they just think their socialism isn’t being done right.
And they don’t have voting booths nor guns.
There is nothing quite as persistent as a truly bad idea.
But as Mark Twain said:
I do hope that you are right!
I’m trying to understand. So you Americans are going to stop economic activity which generates huge government revenues through taxes and royalties, and replace it with economic activity that cannot exist without government subsidies.
Next you’ll be telling me that if I show up at the US border with my passport, I will get sent back to Canada. But if I show up with no ID at all, you’ll drag me across the boarder, provide me food, a place to sleep, and free healthcare.
Yup, you can’t make this stuff up!
Yes, ole Joe put Wuhan virus travel restrictions on numerous nations, but no restrictions on people coming out of Mexico.
Our nation is being run by insane people.
Only if you can survive the GND. And haven’t gone broke trying to eat or pay for your electricity (4X the price now) . And survive the “Social Justice” warriors who will try to take down everyone who does not agree with the GND. The blackouts the “renewables cheaper wind and solar energy” will bring. The insane backup battery fraud. All to save the so called climate. Rejoining the “Paris Agreement”. A do nothing money pit for the UN to steal money. And creating all those green jobs like obama did not- (ZERO).
How many actual solar panel manufacturers are there in the US? I don’t mean companies using 100% foreign parts to assemble panels but actual, dyed-in-the-wool manufacturers of the entire assembly? I don’t know of any. Does anyone? Solyndra was supposed to do manufacturing but I don’t think they actually ever manufactured anything – Obama just gave them money that the company owners ran off with.
If all we have are assembly jobs but no actual manufacturing jobs then two things come to mind immediately:
You can’t automate most drilling jobs, pipefitting jobs, or welding jobs. These are high skill jobs paying well.
So what Biden, Kerry, and Granholm want to do is replace lots of high paying jobs with a few low paying jobs. Typical Democrat policy idiocy! That’s what comes of Washington elitists with no actual working knowledge of anything trying to make policy. Put Granholm on a drill rig for a month and maybe she will actually learn something. Same for Kerry. Biden is a lost cause, he probably couldn’t find the rig to begin with!
If the welders need high paying jobs, they should become brain surgeons. There is certainly plenty of evidence of ‘A B Normal’ brains that need medical intervention — especially in DC!
The number of PV manufacturers in the US is small, probably less than 10% of worldwide production (nearly all PV companies are multi-national with production in lots of different countries). The largest US manufacturers are Solar World, Sunpower, and First Solar.
As for Solyndra, a lot of people don’t know that it got its start under G.W. Bush’s Solar America Initiative which tried to pick market-changing winners through Wash. DC bureaucracy. I literally laughed out loud when I first heard what the Solyndra scheme was. It was doomed from before the starting gun, designed solely to extract government money.
Solar World is bankrupt, it has no employees.
I can’t find any Sunpower manufacturing jobs in the US, they are mostly in Mexico and the Phillipines.
First Solar says it has 5000 employees globally. It is highly doubtful that First Solar alone is going to be able to absorb all the employees who’s jobs Biden et al are destroying.
You are absolutely correct on all three, I had forgotten that Solar World is toes-up. First Solar is a thin-film product (CdTe) that can barely compete with crystalline silicon; they survive by claiming they have better performance under low-light conditions and free recycling.
All of which goes to show that requiring “built in America” for the Green Raw Deal is an absolute impossibility, unless they move the goalposts and redefine what “built in America” means.
To the Dems, “built in America” means “Made in China”.
My exact same reaction when reading about the Tonopah solar concentration plant. In actuality, most of the little power produced came from their gas-fired generators.
I lived in SW Washington just after the Clinton’s ruined the logging industry in favor of the Spotted Owl. They too promised to replace those jobs. I met one of those lumberjacks in his new job. Bought a used car from him.
How much does a coder make nowadays, anyway?
Depends on the industry, but we don’t make as much as we used to.
All talk, no real plan. Even when more people are struggling the MSM will paint a rosy picture and hide the truth. Wait for the economy and welfare numbers.
Chit Not News is the answer.
The energy sector supports itself and a vast swath of other jobs. The GND jobs must come from the government by edict or subsidy. It is very similar to the employment plan that relies on breaking windows so the glaziers are all employed and proclaiming it a productive part of the economy.
Since Dems went all in with marijuana dispensary licenses, maybe they will count those green jobs in the consultant study of jobs created or saved Obama style.
Reminds me of a ‘study’ of all the green jobs Obama created. Bus driver is just one of the outrageous lies.
So, what is their measure of success in “tackling climate change”? Is it just a reduction in CO2? If that goes down, but temps don’t follow, what’s the next goal?
Let’s say temps go down, just by sheer chance. What’s the metric? Advancing glaciers? Is that a good thing?
GMST is likely headed down the next decade or two. The problem for the climate dowsers is that atmospheric CO2 will keep going up, thus destroying their claimed amplified linkage.
Unless the MSM is forced to toe the line with honest reporting, the public will just be told that all the sacrifices made are showing results and more needs to be done along the same line. This is not unlike the Media reporting how the Montreal Protocol is saving the ozone — except for the years when it isn’t!
Griff is hoping for cooler temperatures with a chance to kill off some plebes.
Replacing fossils with a shell game is forward-thinking.
One thing Biden has always been good at is delivering promises straight from his fundamental orifice (a difficult task because it interferes with the hands of the guys pulling his strings). I wonder how long it’s going to take the American people to work out that Biden is not in charge … when the puppeteers run out of presidential orders to have him sign?
I thought we had it bad up here in Canada, with Mr. Dressup as our leader. Geez … you guys really f**cked up. Even the Left are suffering ‘buyer remorse’.
I’m looking at this mess from calgary, every order he signs increases the value of canadian oil companies.
How so? I’d really like to know. That subject is not part of my “skill set”.
The less oil the US produces, the more the oil other countries produce, is worth.
Yes, I get that, but when the price of oil goes up, so goes everything else. Canada and the US have been joined at the hip economically for as long as I can remember. The boom created by Trump produced a correspondingly beneficial spike in our economy. Also, it a there is an increase in the price of such an important commodity as oil and gas, the demand often flattens.
I don’t see Biden benefiting Canada at all. One big affect will be giving Trudeau even more reason “go green” and attack the oil patch … with the approval and encouragement of the US. I never like it when basic commodities go up in price.
There will be two teams. The first will come along digging holes at random and the second team will follow up filling them in again and restoring the natural ecosystem to the satisfaction of the Citizens’ Committee.
Congress will only face reality when the jobs that are “sacrificed” are their own.
It’s the Sleight of Hand, intrinsic in these words of Joe’s:
“”When I think of climate change I think of jobs. We’re going to tackle the climate crisis and create good-paying, union jobs at the same time””
1) See how ‘Climate Change‘ turned so quickly into ‘Climate Crisis‘
Why is, in Joe’s book, Change = Crisis.
The more you think about that, the more applicable the word ‘demented’ becomes.
2) See how he passes the buck immediately – ‘we‘ are going to.
Not him, we.
He instinctively knows it’s gonna go Pear Shaped and is already setting up an escape route.
Joe, YOU ARE NOW POTUS
The buck stops with you. YOU
You wanted the job and now, barely days into it, you’re trying to weasel out of its responsibilities
Jeez
3) See the conflation of ‘good’ and ‘union’?
Unions came to be created out of crap jobs and crap management
Genuine Good Jobs would not be required to be unionised.
People would gladly do them and the pay would be good
That the jobs are being created by Legal Law and also the pay rates set into Legal (unionised) Law, means, again by definition, that the jobs are not = ‘good’
That they are sour, fake, manipulating & exploitative and thus in the longer term, are not viable or sustainable.
Joe, by using all those words, you are admitting that.
You are a perfectly mendacious fake
Modern greens seem to take the position that any change, if it caused by man, is inherently evil.
Is CO2 going up? If yes, it must be opposed. Doesn’t matter if more CO2 is good, bad or indifferent. It’s a change so it must be stopped.
They used to be called Luddites.
American unions have been dying out, except for growth in the Marxist governmental sector.
I was upset when Biden cancelled KXL but now I see he is right off the edge.
The first 7 days are basically a dream for oil producers outside of the USA, Putin and MSB could not possibly have paid for policy more in their favor.
The reality is that every EO Biden signs regarding energy will increase the price of oil and therefore increase the value of Albertas oilsands operators.
I was concerned for the future but Joe is saving us.
He may as well be working for Opec
C’mon Fat! Anybody that goes down into a coal mine can certainly become an artificial intelligence developer!
Gosh…and Uncle Biden is accusing China of hurting American workers and destroying jobs? Looks like Uncle Joe is the one doing the hurting and destroying.
These people didn’t sacrifice their jobs – they were taken from them. A sacrifice is something you give up.
The NZ govt used the same word when our freedom was taken from us.
1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a how to manual.
Socialists have always been good at changing the language in order to hide what they are really doing.
Granholm was using the word in the Aztec sense; sacrificing others to appease their gods.
The black comedy of ecofasc1sm is coming along very nicely!
Napolean Bonaparte: “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake”.
Hey Joe!
It’s not enough to just outlaw fossil fuel – or a future Republican administration will just reverse that.
It’s time to physically destroy all fossil fuel power plants and all fossil fuel vehicles.
And oil refineries.
Oh and nuclear as well.
Leave only wind and solar standing.
Then a pristine and prosperous green economy will rise up out of the sea!
That’s what Boris & his green bint have planed for UK !!
That’s the core of the “Build it back better” thinking.
They honestly believe that once they raze everything to the ground, they will be able to rebuild the perfect world that only they can see.
Ideologues ruin everything they touch. I don’t see any actual ‘doers’ in Biden’s starting lineup.
Not a single EO from Biden has done *anything* to improve the economy, create jobs, or help the little people. NOT ONE!
All Biden and cronies have done is tear things down. No “doers”, only destructors.
