Not so green energy?

Dear Editor,

The arctic air mass that descended on Texas vividly illustrated the future of our country with the renewed push by leftists to cripple our capitalist economies. Subsidized renewable energy investments embraced by electricity generating utility companies are caused by buying into the fallacy of “green energy”.

That causes the reliable backup generation caseload of gas, nuclear and coal to be severely neglected or even abandoned. How much of the pain and destruction could have been prevented by minimal common sense?

Arctic cold fronts and ocean heat dissipation in summer are nothing new. They happen every year. Trends are well documented of variations in solar phases ([email protected], climatedepot.com). The belief that humans and carbon dioxide impact temperature and climate of earth is a faulty theory. Control of temperature on our planet is humanly impossible.

Chicken Little, Sky is falling elitists like Bill Gates have no credibility, as now every catastrophe is blamed on climate change. Their motives are suspect when you follow the money to Solyndra, carbon capture, solar/wind subsidies, battery scales and other such money pits that enrich politicians and connected cronies. Ask the question, how much will any of these lower the temperature? They can’t and won’t have an effect on anything other than taxpayers’ bank accounts negatively.

With the leftist government now in control worldwide, we are doomed to future calamities just like unprepared Texas. That doesn’t have to happen. Encourage your local electric cooperative to decouple from Colorado that dictates policy of renewable energy in TriState Energy. Colorado deserves to suffer their own fate for stupidity, not crippling other states at the same time.

We can be inspired by the idea that anything is possible if you dedicate your being to success. Rulon Gardner’s defeat of the unbeatable Russian is a great example of Wyoming Can Do. Let’s push back at the poisonous Beltway groupthink now, our future as a state and country are at stake.

Sincerely,

Scott Kerbs
