Janet Yellen: U.S. Must Look to ‘Wind, Sun’ for Energy, Not Oil and Gas

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 9 Sep 2022

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Thursday the United States must look to “the wind, sun, and other clean sources of energy” instead of relying on oil and gas.

Yellen’s remarks came during a trip to Detroit, Michigan, where she boasted about the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act.

“Our plan — powered by the Inflation Reduction Act — represents the largest investment in fighting climate change in our country’s history,” Yellen told the crowd. “It will put us well on our way toward a future where we depend on the wind, sun, and other clean sources of energy.”

“We will rid ourselves from our current dependence on fossil fuels and the whims of autocrats like [Russian President Vladimir] Putin,” Yellen added.

U.S. must look to valid scientist and politicians who have not been duped by this enviro-terrorist plot.

If they were serious about not using oil and gas, they'd be working on streamlining the approval process for standardized nuclear reactors and subsidizing production.

There is no such thing as a contradiction.  When encountering one, always check your premises.  You will discover that one of them is wrong.

Yellen should STFU about energy and get back to just ruining the financial structure of the country.

She is. Without petroleum, no petrodollar, and no reserve currency status.

Third world, here we come.

Because there will never be enough energy with wind and solar - and then the FedGov will ration it. Blue states and cronies get first dibs, the rest do without. Grandma and alot of others starve or freeze.

This is an absolute targeted, genocidal terrorist attack by our Govt directly focused on getting rid of the political enemies of the Democrats within the American population.

Biden admin sides against Native Americans in crackdown on oil leasing near Indigenous site
Biden administration 'listening more to the environmentalist people,' Navajo Nation citizen with allotted land tells Fox News Digital
 By Thomas Catenacci | Fox News

The Biden administration is expected to soon finalize a rule banning oil and gas leasing near a Native American historical site despite heavy opposition from local Indigenous leaders, who say the administration's rule would prevent them from collecting royalties on their land.

The rule, which the Department of Interior (DOI) announced in November 2021, would implement a 20-year moratorium on federal oil and gas leasing within a 10-mile radius of the Chaco Culture National Historical Park located in northwest New Mexico. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the rule, which would amount to a withdrawal of 336,000 acres of public lands from mineral leasing, would protect the environment and "rich cultural legacy" of the region.

"We're not destroying anything — we are Native Americans ourselves. Nobody is destroying the park," Delora Hesuse, a Navajo Nation citizen who owns allotted land in the Greater Chaco region, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "The oil companies sure aren't destroying the park. And they have new technology." ...

That was rather the point of my statement. The premise -- that they are serious about not using oil and gas -- is plainly false.  As I gather you also suspect, this isn't really about "decarbonizing the economy". It's about increasing the level of social control already exercised by the professional managerial class to totalitarian levels.

Our house has experienced two electricity blackouts this week.  A neighbor just had a Generac backup system installed.

The electric grid will fail because there is no incentive for investment.

The NIMBY's oppose:

- new power generation plants
- new transmission lines
- new energy pipelines

Of course they'll blame corporate greed.
