I highly recommend his periscopes. They go on about 9 am ET every day usually, but sometimes it varies.
@atheist4thecause It's a bit naive to say that the market will automatically gear towards other sources of power
It dosent work like that
Other sources of power are nowhere near as reliable as fossil fuels
They don't produce as much energy as readily and are less easily stored
That's why we can't rely on them at the moment
So it's not a simple as "the price will rise so tha market will switch to sustainable energy"
It's too late by the point that fossil fuels start to run out
Also you can't run vehicles off of power sources like wind and solar
You can't simply let the market dictate it because its not as flexible as other sectors
Renewable energy needs lots of funding and years of scientific research still to be a viable replacement to fossil fuels
It's just ridiculous how dependant on fossil fuels we are and that cannot be understated
The same logic applies to nuclear because that has plenty of problems on its own
Nuclear power stations are huge pieces of infrastructure and you can't simply build one when the market feels like it
They take years upon years to assemble and even longer to disassemble
Plus a whole host of environmental problems
All this stuff is why we need investment in these new sources of energy now
And we need to put focus on them now
So that we are prepared when we can no longer rely on fossil fuels
Trump has over 300 accomplishments as president he will go down as one of the greatest presidents in history Trade Border wall strengthening the military USMCA making America great again
Not talking about that...
Also he hasn't built the border wall
As far as I know he's got nowhere in his trade war with China
Admittedly he's been decent at diplomacy in Korea
But he's also done some really stupid shit
Like try to implement a ban on people coming from muslim countries to "stop terrorism" when not a single one of the countries that one of the 911 attackers came from was on the list
He tried to ban transgender people from the military claiming it "costed too much" when the millitary spends more money on fucking viagra
He's pulled out of the Paris climate agreement when literally almost every other country on earth has agreed its a good idea
He's got rid of NAFTA and replaced it with something that is basically the same, just slightly worse
Like I get if you want to get rid of NAFTA but then get rid of NAFTA, don't put NAFTA lite in its place
He's hilariously failed to repeal Obama care multiple times
He called people protesting white supremacism as bad as white supremacists themselves
He hasn't done much to help the economy either, unemployment has just been steadily decreasing as the world recovers from 2009
Nothing to do with Obama either
More to do with economics than politics
Feel free to try and prove me wrong though
@Kenpachi Point of view dude
But if he breaks the American economic/military alliance, history will be very unkind to him
