If wind and solar are cheaper than other electricity sources, there is no reason to continue giving these industries subsidies, but Democrats seem desperate to throw even more money at them. Since 1992, Congress has renewed these giveaways 14 times.
Increased spending on wind, solar, and batteries helps the Chinese Communist Party more than American families and workers — or the climate. As Democrats continue their war on coal, oil, and natural gas, China, India, African nations, and even Mexico are embracing coal. These nations and others are building more than 400 coal plants and more than 400 coal mines.
Last year was a record year for China’s coal usage and production. China burns more than half of the 8 billion tons of coal used each year, and it plans on burning even more in 2022. There is no indication that the CCP plans to adopt clean coal technology anytime soon.
Contrary to most media coverage, China is investing eight times more in its fossil fuel production than it is in adding wind and solar. So why do Democrats so desperately want to send taxpayer dollars to China? The end result will be jobs moving there as well.
China manufactures 75% of the batteries needed for electrification and 75% of solar panels. Additionally, it controls 75% of the rare earth minerals needed to produce these alternative sources of energy. This means that hundreds of billions of our tax dollars and electricity users’ money will strengthen China while weakening America.
Electric grids cannot store power. They must have a moment-to-moment balance between electricity on and electricity off the grid. Without enough power, the whole grid can fail, and users will experience blackouts.
A grid failure could leave millions of people without electricity for weeks. This may seem like a worst-case scenario, but it is possible. Germany has almost experienced grid failure several times, and the grid in Texas failed last February.

Democrats refuse to learn the lessons of green power - Washington Examiner
Democrats in Washington, with slim majorities, think their green agenda is worth increasing our $29 trillion deficit, adding to our inflation problem, and raising taxes. They want to spend half a trillion dollars on subsidies for wind, solar, and electric vehicles for the better off who can...
