Maybe. Or it’s going to force people to buy energy from local coal plants that this dictator forced to reopen.
As strange as it seems given the whole, you know, this, the United States is only a small part of the world.
Little Donald ordering closed coal plants to reopen like a Captain Planet villain is only going to impact a relatively small number of power plants - and those coal plants are going to close back down as soon as they’re legally allowed to, for the same reason they closed in the first place, because they don’t make economic sense anymore.
Meanwhile, the people buying solar because they can’t trust oil and gas supplies, and the governments investing in renewables because they don’t want to be held hostage the next time the United States gets a bug up its ass about Iran, will still have those solar and renewables long after Little Donald has retired to his private massage parlor in Mar-A-Lago.
Blows my fuckin mind that fuckin Orange Palpatine is accidentally making the whole world switch to renewable energy while he turns the US into a dictatorship. Honestly, it kind of gives me some hope? Like how do you fuck up being H*tler so badly that you make the rest of the world a better place
So far he’s advanced renewables adoption, reduced US hegemony, pushed Europe towards financial, military and software independence… Unfortunately he also caused much death and suffering.
“Orange Palpatine” gives El Cheeto far too much credit. At least Darth Sidious was clever and could keep his pants up and mouth shut when he benefits from it.
