We can't do without coal and natural gas

[Clipper]

.President Biden is setting records for destroying jobs and businesses with his rush to do away with our dependence on coal and oil. Out of one side of his mouth he is telling us how he is going to bolster the economy and help the hurting with his stimulus package and out of the other he is destroying more and more jobs every day with a swipe of his misguided pen. SLOW DOWN JOE!

First he is killing high paying American jobs, and next he will open the borders and let illegal aliens in to take what jobs are left while they live on the dole and collect more from social programs than any American can collect.

I think I will change my name to Mendoza and get in line. If wanting to preserve a little bit of what is left of America is racist, I guess I am racist, although not all who are migrating illegally are people of color.

We will make hundred of thousands of jobs within green energy. Whatever the source of energy is used be it nuclear, wind, water, sun or biodigestion of organic waste people will have jobs generated by those industries. Those jobs will be different but still well paying with education keeping up with the market. Our energy sources must evolve over time since we cannot depend on fossil fuels to supply our needs especially as the populations of the world grows uncontained.

I guess if we can limit growth of population either through government programs that would pay families not to produce more than say one or two children. Or if government programs existed whereby anyone having a child would be required by government to pay a substantial fee. Reasoning here is that the child uses existed energy supplies which would be limited. Government could also demand that children only be allowed from married individuals ( individuals since that would allow for non gender types or homosexuals to adopt). The source of adopted children would be available from single women or unmarried couple have a child that would need to be forfeited to the government. Government could also pay a premium to a married couple to NOT have any children.

Many ideas I have to allow all populations to enjoy a happy and fulfilled life. Now the problem is who will decide how long a healthy or non healthy person is allowed to live and for that matter should a non healthy or genetically abnormality even be allow to continue life and use up precious energy supplies and other resources......

Some excellent reading can be found in the area of population control. For instance The optimum size of population which along with the existing natural resources and a given state of technology, yields the highest income per capita in a country. ... The optimum population means the best and the most desirable size of a country's population. Also Thomas Malthus an 18th-century British philosopher and economist noted for the Malthusian growth model, an exponential formula used to project population growth. The theory states that food production will not be able to keep up with growth in the human population, resulting in disease, famine, war, and calamity.

We must then beg the question: What is the ideal population for Earth? 1.5 billion to 2 billion people

STANFORD -- Until cultures change radically, the optimum number of people to exist on the planet at any one time lies in the vicinity of 1.5 billion to 2 billion people, about a third of the present number, three California ecologists estimated in an article published in the journal Population and Environment.

Optimum human population a third of present, scientists say news.stanford.edu/pr/94/940711Arc4189.html

Food ( pardon the pun) for thought.......

There will be jobs created by green energy initiatives, but it is not going to help those that are losing there jobs now. They will not be finding any jobs at the present time that will be comparable with their skills. Life as they know it will be over. Homes will be lost, children will suffer.

How about we wait until the new jobs are created and then cross train the coal and oil workers to fill them. How about we find a way to provide adequate employment to those living in the Appalachian mountain areas where coal has been the ONLY means of employment for generations. His rush to do all this by executive order is simply political theater. VERY destructive political theater. Just some more anti Trump revenge. Well, it isn't hurting Donald Trump. HE doesn't need a job. It isn't hurting Donald Trump or any of those other millionaire politicians that now sit in congress. They will be able to afford $5 gas for their gas hog SUV's and Cadillacs. It's us peons that will be left to either bankrupt ourselves with the high taxes on fuel, or bankrupt ourselves buying high dollar electric cars and trucks, along with financing the construction of all these green initiative alternative energy sources.

Get ready to live on Dollar store Vienna Sausages, get to work on foot or if you can afford it, an electric Razor scooter, skate board, or bicycle, that is if you STILL have a job to go to.

These initiatives may be viable, but they need to be long term initiatives to be phased in over time. There is no reasonable justification for what he is doing. Like I said, slow the hell down Joe. You have four years to push these ideas. So far all I have seen is a bunch of lies. He said he wouldn't ban fracking, now he says he will. He said he would send order IRS to send out stimulus checks the day he took office. Looks like MAYBE in late Feb, but also possibly as late as April. People need that help NOW.

What the hell is the hurry? The democrats have the majority in both houses of congress and can push whatever they care to push through and into law and will hold that majority for at least for two more years pending the next mid term elections.

I had high hopes to be able to accept the agenda with a grain of salt, but I can't accept the reckless abandon with which it is being forced on the country. Yep. He is my president, but that doesn't mean I have to like him.

There will always be natural gas & oil. Coal? Not sure about that. In a few years those who want one will be able to buy a pickup powered by batteries that can tow a 10,000 lb. trailer. I believe Ford is developing a full size F-150 that can do just that. The battery technology that is in development now is astounding. Like I said oil will always be part of the picture. The issue is the cost of getting it out of the ground. Global warming is real whether people choose to believe it or not to & the day of reckoning is coming. But, it may be too late. And future generations are going to pay the price for our failure to act.
