I think we need to get specific here. One of the issues is when using the term “green energy” what are you referring to? Solar and wind? Personally, I don’t think those technologies have matured yet to take on the base load. Sure, they’re feel good nice for supplemental. But look at the return on investment.
Also when talking about wind & solar you need to talk about storage or batteries. This requires rare and or heavy metals which creates toxic byproducts to process. So how green is it when you consider all aspects. Also be sure your not being sold a bill of goods when politicians start talking swinging policy changes. Who profits from switching to green initiatives. Is it the automobile industry or specifically Cadillac who is looking to become the first all-model EV manufacturer? COVID has proven to be a boon to online retailers and a detriment to small shops/ business owners. So who’s going to get screwed this time? |
This Federal Reserve president shares my opinion on green energy transition...

I don't care if the government opts not to buy IC cars, that's their prerogative, and part of market forces. The problem is when they tell the rest of is that we can't. |

California Governor (for now) Newsom pushed through an agenda to make IC vehicle illegal to sale in California 2025. No idea if it went through but he has been pushing hard for it.

You tree hugging Biden lovers fail to accept the reality of HISTORY and keep dreaming of utopias. Wake up!!
Delta to Shut Down ComairBy Doug Cameron And Saabira ChaudhuriUpdated July 27, 2012 6:32 pm ETDelta Air Lines Inc. DAL -5.29% plans to close its Cincinnati-based Comair Inc. feeder airline this fall, reflecting the high costs and declining ridership of the small, fuel-thirsty jets used by it and other regional carriers. High fuel prices have upended the small regional jets that blossomed in the U.S. during the early 1990s, transforming small-city airports and becoming a hit with passengers used to flying turboprops. Hundreds of regional jets are parked in the desert as airlines moved to larger, more efficient planes. Oops. |
But what's the future of United Express tho!? 🤔

Depends greatly on the future of United. https://i.ibb.co/FJV3c33/A373-EBBA-7...8-CAA18-B8.jpg United Airlines said Wednesday that it finished one of the worst years in its history by losing $1.9 billion in the last three months of 2020, and it predicted more of the same in the first quarter of this year. The loss was wider than analysts expected. The number of U.S. airline passengers had been building slowly since May but was hammered again when COVID-19 cases began surging in the fall, causing health experts to beg people to stay home.United lost $7.1 billion in 2020, an amount exceeded only in 2005, when bankruptcy-related costs pushed the company to a $21 billion loss. Including debt and severance payments, the airline burned through $33 million in cash per day. Revenue plunged 69% in the fourth quarter compared with a year earlier. United predicted a similar decrease — between 65% and 70% — in the first quarter of 2021, a slightly more pessimistic view than the one expressed by Delta Air Lines last week. |
