The Left's Fantasy World: OD Edition: "Affordable"/"Renewable" Energy

Dems wasted no time getting down to business...wrecking the OD.

This offshore wind farm nonsense is a testament to their unshakable faith in their ideologically-generated fantasy world.

   It's not affordable...by any estimate. And anyone who thought it would lower prices is a fool--or vastly ignorant. The cheap sources of energy are in the ground. You might not like it, but that's the fact. If you think we're all going to die from (scary voice) cliiIiIiIimaaaate chaAaaAaAange, and, somehow, you think that a wind farm off Virginia will do anything to mitigate that...well...you're clueless...but perhaps not stupid... But thinking it'll be cheaper...there's just no excuse for that.

   Look, this shit isn't even "renewable." The source of the energy is, of course: the wind will keep blowing. But the means of collecting that energy isn't. Turbines are expensive. Offshore turbines are really expensive. They have to survive a salt-water environment...I haven't even seen anyone discussing this, and I can tell you right now, this boondoggle will end up costing a helluvalot more even than predictions. In 20 years...soon after the thing comes online...we'll be paying gazillions of dollars to dismantle it. Though we'll probably be able to get federal $$...and pass the cost of our prof-left folly on to our countrymen in other states...

   So it is predicted...so will it be...

   The left derives its descriptive worldview from its normative worldview. It thinks "renewable" energy would be good/cool...so it must work! And not only be cleaner but--magically!--cheaper too!

   This also helps explain how they can be so wrong about everything--and some such explanation is needed.
