Wind turbines and solar panels that can generate electricity intermittently, are themselves totally dependent on fossil fuels for all their components. Renewables offer NO energy independence, as America has never imported electricity from foreign countries. Wind and solar just generate intermittent electricity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the raw materials that are essential for building EV batteries, wind turbines, and solar panels, are increasingly dependent on the supply chain of exotic minerals and metals being mined in developing countries with miniscule labor or environmental regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those that set written policies and regulations, they seem to just follow the personal passions of leaders like that of President Biden and California Governor Newsom to rid America of fossil fuels usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With America representing only four percent of the world\u2019s population, the elite leaders desire to have America\u2019s emissions lowered to reduce its impact on the world\u2019s climate, is like that of someone poring a bucket of hot water into the ocean and claiming that it will change the temperature of the entire ocean!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The implications of abandoning fossil fuels without a replacement are enormous for global commerce, and especially for America. Simultaneously with those continuous efforts to reduce nationwide oil production, American demands for the products and fuels manufactured from crude oil are continually increasing its dependency on foreign countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Don Ritter recently discussed<\/a>, the autocratic oil Producers (Saudi Arabia, the Emirates, Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela, and China) clearly benefit from America\u2019s declining production, because major Consumers (India, Brazil, Indonesia, South Africa, and others) that buy\u00a0oil, gas\u00a0and petrochemicals must feed their people, fuel their vehicles, and grow their economies at reasonable cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unbeknownst to President Joe Biden and California Governor Gavin Newsom, is that China\u2019s Xi Jinping and Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin are great War historians. As\u00a0World War I and II historians, Russia, China, and OPEC know, the country that controls the minerals, crude oil, and natural gas, controls the world!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therein lies the mystification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
