    Americans are so propogandized, you can offer a conservative free endless clean energy from the actual, already-existing sun and they’ll say no. It’s embarrassingly pathetic.

    I really detest making scientific fact a political football. Even more so when people’s lives are seriously affected…or ended.

    This is horrible but Im really curious if they try to put some sort of rationale around it or just state it and if there is a rationale I sorta want to know what the mental gymnastics of that is. Only thing I can think of is stuff around why they are not perfect.

      They are meant to take it uncritically. Their information sources have trained them with a constant barrage of unfounded and often conflicting statements to just not think about what they’re told.

    I get exploitative politicians leveraging controversy and taking an opposite stance (like mocking the creation of the space force) But is it really going to help him to argue that clean renewable energy is not clean ? Are there enough people that would fall for it?
