Questions/Issues Discussed:
Modern civilization heavily relies on abundant, affordable, and reliable energy.
However, have innovators created far more ways to consume energy than to produce
it?
Has the government considered the costs for infrastructure upgrades nationwide
for more generating capacity, transmission capacity, substations, poles, wires,
and transformers for electric vehicles? Mark Mills believes that the people
making new mandates and regulations are simply naïve, explaining what all this
will actually cost and why it will be impossible to accomplish this goal over
the next ten years.
Where will the raw materials come from for a totally clean America? Do we even
have enough raw material for all that will be needed?
Is anyone in our government listening to the warnings? Mark Mills explains that
our elected officials have the power to stop this nonsense, but most are putting
their heads in the sand.
Many Western European countries have switched to solar and/or wind energy. What
has been the result?
