The "right" aren't right though, they're wrong. They should be called "far-wrong" instead of "far-right", imo, as their stances on many things show.
-
They like geothermal though, for the simple reason that it's actually cheaper in the long run. Also solar is nice because you can live off the grid. But otherwise it's not very popular among conservatives because the cost effectiveness in the long term isn't quite there. They aren't motivated by the idea of green energy, it's a simple cost calculation.
-
Tell them that they need to stop using wind and solar or else in 100 yesrs we'll run out of wind and sunshine. We're talking about "adults" who have the toddler mentality of "DON'T TELL ME NO 😡".
-
What if the left "cancels" solar because its power source causes cancer? Also, something something starts fires in blue states.
-
I heard that sunlight causes rainbows.
-
Gimme some of that refraction parade action
-
-
-
wind and solar are not popular for conservatives because they were left talking points first. which obviously means it's wrong, libtards owned yet again
-
Their biggest problem is that there's not big money in them. Once you have solar power on your house, you don't need to keep paying them every month. Where's the fun in that for the rich?
-
You might find you can fuel your car with solar. This is America, if you don't make more money to pay your extortionist, you're a douchebag.
-
Donald Trump also said that they'll run out of wind if they start wind power farms.
-
Ding ding ding
-
-
If you go far enough right, solar and wind are extremely popular. Very much leads to some weirdness when I was researching solar for my house, and kept stumbling into prepper communities and the like.
-
-
To be fair, wind is also a form of solar power. (Wind being caused by the difference in heat between the different hemispheres/poles & the rotation of the earth)
So wind & solar power are indirect & direct long-range nuclear energy sources, respectively.
-
Get the left to protest and Pickett against solar and wind. Say it’s fascist nonsense. The right will jump on it
-
That’s why we couldn’t end dst, calling it the sunshine protection act.

"Actually Natural Gas" "Orbital Fusion"
-
I mean Natural Gas is as natural as Iron or Coal. The problem is extracting and burning it is causing issues.
-
They're both Orbital Fusion.
We should try to harness the power of the tides, since that's lunar gravity driven.
um...
Moon Rodeo Power?

I'm honestly wondering this. Renewables reduce dependency on foreign countries, so using them can be interpreted as a patriotic act. They make sense, geostrategically, not just for saving earth but also for reducing the leverage other countries have over yours. This could be something that both, green activists and nationalists, can jointly agree on. I don't get it.
-
Energy Dominance! is new buzz word. You are right that "energy security" best solution is to never have to pay for fuel again. Such talk is woke radical left climate alarmist talk, even though that was the word the O&G industry told us to reduce reliance on energy imports.
Energy dominance means the goal is to destroy the planet, but think of the shareholder value created by extorting the planet into US approved energy consumption. War and extortion are just more radial left woke words to distract from achieving energy dominance.
-
I think the problem, as it often is, is big businesses lobbying for continued relevancy at the cost of societal progress.
-
The mistake was applying logic to a position they didn’t use logic to arrive at. Their talking heads say renewables bad. The thought process ended there.
-
Even works down to the state level. My state, Wisconsin, has no coal mines, no oil wells, and no natural gas wells. The closest thing we have to any of it is the best sand for fracking. Otherwise, every dollar of energy we spend ends up leaving the state one way or another.
Unless, that is, we do something intelligent, like building an offshore wind farm on Lake Michigan. Though I'm sure someone will complain that we're killing the whales.

Bunch of NIMSS types on the right. Doubt they'd go for "far-field nuclear"
Now, something like "Ultra far east super nuclear warhead"...that might work.
-
Does the right like nuclear? I thought they didn't. It's pretty clean efficient energy, though it has been overtaken in recent years by wind and solar for cost.
-
They like nuclear and hate regulation, so that’s a match made in heaven for disasters.
-
free market safe nuclear energy!
-
-
The right likes nuclear when they can drop it on someone.
-
Maggie Thatcher was one of the earliest politicians to talk about global warming. She did it to prop up nuclear, which was losing the narrative at the time to Greenpeace and the like.
They like nuclear in so far as they can use it to beat certain elements of the environmental left over the head. Conservative governments have come in gone in both the US and UK, and they've done very little to actually build out nuclear power.
-
In the US I thought nuclear was one of the few bipartisan issues they can agree on.
-
Yeah, they love it and are constantly criticizing the left for chasing renewables as a solution to our energy needs and (for the less extreme ones who accept it's real) climate change.
-
-
They don’t mind being under someone’s thumb for basic necessities as long as that someone is an unaccountable business owner.
