3. The inherent redundancy required by the solar fantasy secures the future for dangerous fossil fuels.

The solar fantasy, now loudly reported for more than a half a century, did nothing to address climate change, is doing nothing to address climate change and will do nothing to address climate change.

We hit 420 ppm of the dangerous fossil fuel waste carbon dioxide in the planetary atmosphere this spring, less than 10 years after we first hit 400 ppm. We did this with all kinds of loud screaming cheering for solar energy all around the world.

Solar energy is a failure, an expensive failure to boot, and future generations will be tasked with cleaning up the intractable mess it leaves behind.

I love the President, but in a reactionary return to Jimmy Carter's ill fated rhetoric, he's making a big mistake. Quietly, without much fanfare, other agencies in the Department of Energy are doing much more important work, but because of fear and ignorance it is not publicly feasible to trumpet it.
