Never said t was better. Wind ain't the answer.

And if little old Denmark, with only 5.5 million people, can find the resources to make it a viable source of energy don't try and convince me that the richest country in the world does not have the ability to make it viable.

Denmark is a tiny nation.

I have to give Bernie credit for flying around in coach on regular airlines, usually liberals fly around in private jets to expel their climate drivel.

My favorite is Leonardo Dicaprio preaching about climate change while chilling on his 450 foot mega yacht.

It's one to examples of why the entire climate change alarmism is nonsense.

The problem of both wind and solar is how to store all that energy for when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine--we're back to energy density and batteries. Baseload power must come from a reliable source. When climate change warriors embrace nuclear power, I'll believe 'em.

That's why most wind farms are in places that blow constantly, i.e Kansas, continental divide, and solar in vegas, cali, Phoenix, etc. it works, stop being ignorant. It is viable, perhaps not ready for a complete replacement, but nevertheless viable. I'm no tree hugger, but this energy is better in the long run.
