Renewable power is the No. 2 source of electricity in the U.S. — and climbing
Why the fuck isn't it number one yet? We've known about climate change for decades now. What's the holdup? Why is he still opening up more land and sea reserves for drilling? He and the rest of the ghouls in DC still serve oil execs and are never going to make any meaningful actions towards climate change.
Preventing discriminatory mortgage lending
While the update hasn’t taken effect yet
So, nothing.
Forcing Chinese companies to open their books
More warmongering with China. Fuck off.
Preventing another Jan. 6
Uh huh
Building armies of drones to counter China
Shut the fuck up
Biden scraps Trump’s paint scheme for Air Force One
I'm supposed to give a shit about the color of his plane???
Biden recommends loosening federal restrictions on marijuana
"Recommends" He didn't do shit. It's not an accomplishment unless he actually does something. And he's only moving it to Schedule III, not actually legalizing it, so even if it goes through it's still a half assed solution. Legalize it or fuck off.
A penalty for college programs that trap students in debt
None of my student loan debt has been cancelled.
Biden moves to bring microchip production home
Seriously half this article is diaper pissing about China.
Preventing a cobalt crisis in Congo
More CIA intervention, cool.
Countering China with a new alliance between Japan and South Korea
CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA CHINA
Union-busting gets riskier
Remind me again who busted the rail strike.
The U.S. is producing more oil than anytime in history
Imagine bragging about about fighting climate change then saying this shit.
Strengthening military ties to Asian allies
China again
Seriously half of his """"accomplishments"""" are just "China bad". What a garbage ass list, no wonder he's going to lose.
Also he's still doing a genocide so he can go fuck himself.

Because building out additional renewable capacity is becoming increasingly harder. If you look at the countries that presently generate all or most of their electricity from renewables, they generally have some mix of these characteristics:
Extremely low per capita electricity use, e.g. Global South
Mostly renewables are hydro and geothermal
The countries are small enough to just trade with neighbors when needed
The US has largely developed its hydro and geothermal sources, so the options going forward are wind and solar. This is presently a growing mix. Unfortunately, because those are unpredictable, storage is needed. Grid level batteries are not a mature technology, but there is plenty of investment going into the technology. It'll take some time to build out more wind and solar, and unfortunately Republicans are there the whole way to undermine any meaningful climate action.
Also of note in the US has been the shift from coal, with its higher emissions, to the still bad natural gas. Also less mercury and radioactive material.
It'll take some time to build out more wind and solar, and unfortunately Republicans are there the whole way to undermine any meaningful climate action.
The U.S. is producing more oil than anytime in history right now under Biden. Republicans aren't the only ones undermining meaningful climate action, this is a fully bipartisan effort.
Both parties serve the same capital interests. Let's be clear, if they wanted to they absolutely could drastically reduce the amount of oil being drilled and pump billions of dollars into renewable energy research so that the US is no longer reliant on carbon-emitting energies; they just don't want to.
China may have added a lot of solar panels, but solar and wind only form a tiny portion of the energy mix. The vast majority is coal. Yes, the US should be doing more to push renewables, but China isn't in a much better position presently.
I'm using China as a demonstration, that moving over to a renewable first or renewable only energy mix isn't just a wave your magic wand thing. Solar only makes up a few percentage points of China's energy mix. Same with wind.
No shit, which is why they're rapidly expanding their renewable energy infrastructure. How much of their energy do you think is going to come from solar 10 years from now? 20? Meanwhile half of US politicians refuse to even acknowledge the existence of climate change.

There's two kinds of energy: renewable and non-renewable. So all they're saying is Biden has taken renewables from number 2 to number 2

China added more solar panels in 2023 than US did in its entire history. If China can expand their renewable infrastructure to such an extent I'm having a hard time believing the US can't do the same thing.

The US is bragging about how much oil it's drilling, while China is installing more solar than anyone else, ever. Cope harder.

Well this person definitely sounds like an adult.
