The Washington Post is reporting that the Trump administration is
going to recommend a 72 percent reduction in the development of
renewable energy sources.

I think that's wrong to do.Â*Â* Renewables have a long ways to go
before they can generate the majority of the USA's energy needs
but to significantly cut back on their development is not a good
idea, IMO.

The Union of Concerned Scientists reports that by 2050 renewable
sources could potentially supply 80 percent of our electrical
energy needs.
That may be a little optimistic but it's heading in the right
direction.

Unfortunately, the renewable sources that get the most attention
are solar and wind.Â* Both rank low in the energy production of all
the renewable sources.


I suppose Trump has to find some way to build more of those
hydrogen bombs he wants to use. We don't have nearly enough of them.


If we have to have nuclear weapons, I'd rather have some that
weren't designed and built 50- 60 years ago. He doesn't want
*more*.Â* (We have treaties that govern that).Â* He just wants ones
that will work if it is ever necessary to use them.



Right, because Trump understands the science, right?Â*Â*


No, but he has advisors in the DOD who do.

Ok. I'll admit. That's funny.
