Funny if we are less than 10% renewable energy by now and Ms Cortez thinks we can be 100% in 10 years. Makes her the most vocal idiot in the US. I do not want what she is smoking.

When the industry says "renewable" resources, here's what they mean.
"bio fuel" requires burning wood. Hydro means using dams for generation.
People are tearing down dams, not building new ones, so how come environmentalists use dams as propaganda as "renewable " ? They hate dams!
People can't use wood heating in residential areas because it pollutes, so how come they include wood as a renewable? They hate wood! I can feel the carbon footprints crawlin' on my skin just thinkin' 'bout that nasty wood smoke.
Those two items reduce the so called "renewable" sources by 10 percent.
OK, so we are at 10 percent solar
and wind right now....................... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, stop that madness and spend money on the safest way to use then store and re-use nuclear fuel.
Takes up very little space compared to solar and wind............ and it's record is nearly flawless............... don't bring up Chernobyl. It was a flawed design known to all and the Ruskies took a stupid chance that proved everyone was right.
3 Mile? A man made mistake by a controller overriding a warning. That was a lesson to learn. How may instances since them worldwide? One? what was the cause? Stupidity and a huge earthquake and tsunami.

We're all gonna die anyway and I want to be warm up and until that point. Global cooling scares me.
