What the hell is clean energy? The rich guys went nuts whining that wind farms were spoiling their views.
Solar farms roast birds and are not practical in the North and in the East.
Nuclear energy? Lunatics went ape shit crazy stopping plans to store the waste.
On top of all that the banks will soon fail and we will all be worse off than the people in Venezuela.
