On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “All In,” Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) argued that in order to undermine Russia’s power, we have to “end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.” Because Russia will be able to sell oil as long as there’s demand for oil, and called for a “climate emergency.”
Merkley said, “As long as there is a world market for oil, Russia will be able to sell its oil. And so, unfortunately, not all my colleagues yet understand that the way to undercut the power of Russia is to end our dependence on oil and have the world transition to renewable energy.”

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR), another delusional moron. He can shove his green energy policies where the sun don't shine. Windmills are useless when there is no wind and solar is useless when there is no sun. And electric cars are nothing more than toys for the rich. They can't handle the distance, they can't handle the load and they would kill the electrical grid. When are these morons going to wake up. Fact is they will never wake out of their coma and they must be voted out ASAP. Got it...

When the house is on fire there's always a Democrat whose solution is to make everyone stop eating meat.

OK, you start first, you moronic d-bag. Next time you travel back to Oregon I expect you to go by Conestoga Wagon. If your not willing to do that, then shut the eff up.

There is not enough of EVERYTHING to go full electric. Not enough infrastructure, not enough electric cars not enough AFFORDABLE electric cars, no electric rigs, no useable electric planes...
These people remind me of those corporate entities, who have this great solution but have no plan to accomplish it. They turn to their employees and scream, "Just get it DONE!!!"
It doesnt work that way in the real world.

Jeff Merkley is one of the biggest idiots in congress right now. He is even dumber than Sheila Jackson Lee if that is possible. He has a lot of explaining to do about why most of the green solutions just do not work.

One other thing occurs to me. Those windmills that the Left loves? What kind of lubricant are they proposing to use to keep the blades spinning and the bearings greased? Those fields of windmills take thousands of gallons of lubricant to keep them working. When they do work.

Always great sound bits, but the practicality is not available for multiple decades from now.
Wonder how he'd feel when Russia ends up going to war with many other European countries simply because they need money due to the lack of selling their oil assets?
Or, does he think just because the United States ends up going "green" the rest of the world can afford to follow?
Even the Paris Accords didn't meet their climate goal until the year 2100.

The "transition" that Merkley is pushing would take decades to be even minimally effective against Russia, when we need to cut them off within days (or even hours, if possible). Kind of like it would take Merkley decades to understand the basic math that he should have understood before even running for office.

Electric cars are as old as the hills they are called golf carts and belong on a green full of little holes not on interstates or for transporting goods. Dreaming is fine for all the lefties but don't include me in your dream.

These nutcase lie-berals need to lead the way. They need to stop using all petroleum and petroleum-based products, and show us how "easy" it will be to do what they are wanting us to do.
But they won't. Like with guns and police and everything else they try to preach to us about, the rules they want to implement only apply to the masses of unwashed peasants. They do not apply to the ruling politburo members!!!

If you somehow deployed enough windmills to replace all the energy generated by fossil fuels, the energy removed from the atmosphere would change the patterns of the jet streams. THAT would create real climate change.

But wait! Didn't Psaki say we don't need Russian oil? So where is the emergency?
We have absolute loons running amok in what used to be our government.
