    NEW: Hundreds of climate and grassroots groups are calling on lawmakers to pursue a national requirement for 100% renewable power by 2030, as opposed to a clean electricity standard.https://washex.am/3famZ8d

        I hope the adults in the Democratic party roundly reject such foolishness. The continued quixotic pursuit by certain far left environmental groups of their chosen one "acceptable" pathway to the REAL goal of eliminating GHG emissions hurts everyone. SMH.

        I would love to see what process these people think exists that can even get enough projects through the permitting process that would allow 100% RE in 10 years, including transmission, long term storage, and the environmental review of the monster wind and solar buildout.

        The process is the same as for all the other economic goodies. Make fossil fuel scarce by reducing the number of fossil fuel companies. Ration energy so those that need it have more time to adapt than those that merely want it. Allow risk averse entrepreneurs to produce energy.

        Biden should tell them to screw off, AND apply sanctions on these groups for being climate arsonists.

        The fires have always happened but are now much worse thanks to #ClimateChange & the #globalweirding caused by ⬆️ atmospheric CO2 leading to #AGW Some 500Gt of CO2 was produced by forest fires in 2020. Amazon rainforest clearance for April ⬆️ by 40% in 2021🙄pic.twitter.com/A3jQVYoTKe

        They could do that if they'd chosen to keep their nuclear versus shuttering it in favor of Nordstream 2. But no, that Russian Natural Gas is addictive...

        Any plan that does not include low carbon like Nuclear will fail. Period. Germany is the only one pushing a high renewables plan. Its stalled. Germany is now doubling down on fossil fuels like Natural Gas. France, next door, has clean energy and met their emissions.
