My god these people are so pathetic.
I GO OVER 9000% TARRIF NOW, THAT WILL TEACH YOU!
At this point it's just sad to watch, really
Meanwhile, the rest of the world is laughing as they accelerate their solar installations, because there is more availability with the manufacturers free of American demand, and America falls even further behind.
But don’t worry, everyone, coal will give us energy independence.
What an unbelievable own goal you goddamn morons.
In a decades time the rest of the world will be putting sanctions on the US demanding they improve their renewable game.
CLEAN COAL thank you very much. (/s)
We are idiots.
Good news! Solar panels from four southeast Asian countries just got a lot cheaper in Canada!
Mate of mine just got the keys to his first house, time to rub his hands together delightedly
Wow, Trump forcing Americans to pay 3521% more on woke taxes for buying solar panels.
Yup
Hey! What you look at that! Told you coal is cheaper!
As long as he doesn’t have to pay any more to fund those silly social programs like checks notes food safety and misconduct enforcement. That’s straight up woke bullshit. /s
The the thing. They are. Americans decided they want to be exploited again.
MAGA, let's go back to a time when saw dust was a food stuff.
MAGA, let's go back to a time when lead was used to whiten milk.
MAGA, let's go back to a time when the local druggist would sell me a magical exlixr to cure the stomach cancer caused by the last magical elixir.
Looks like the petro companies paid their bribes...I mean...inauguration donations.
The US oil industry is collapsing. They can’t make much profit.
All that really matters is the price of a barrel of oil. It went from $75 to $64 between April 2nd and April 8th. That makes it hard up make money pumping oil out of fracked horizontal wells. I think below $60 and the turn those off.
You’d think the face eating leopards would be getting full, but they seem to be just getting started.
Oh I’m well aware. I’m a victim of the 2015 downturn when prices went from 100+ to 60 dollars.
You're parroting, almost verbatim, dialog from the fictional TV show "Landman."
Never seen it but I suppose life could imitate art.
The solar company that installed all the solar panels in my new neighborhood is already dealing with potential bankruptcy. I wonder if this will shut them down for good.
Has your neighbourhood considered Cleen Coal Furnaces? Relive your Dickensian dystopia.
Well said
