Correct, we were lied to by Leftist "scientists", who are really political scientists and they saw an opportunity to seize a weak-minded populaces' freedoms

Because this is the Liberal mind-set (they have no idea how an economy works): Biden got up today and rambled off like 4-5 gov't initiatives of borrowing/taxing and then spending money, then declared "that doesn't sound like a Recession to me" These people are so beyond clueless. SURE! Fake a Pandemic, hand over $1 TRILLION to Pfizer/Pharma, then demand back $200B like that's some "policy win" and give that money to Leftist-friendly Green technology future failures (I'm not even negative on Green Technologies, quite the opposite, but they should happen like any other, some subsidies are fine just like the fossil fuel industry because in the end, and as Europe is finding out, Energy is a National Security issue) Throw $100B at the IRS because there are "tax-evaders" out there not "paying their fair share" when literally 60% of Americans don't even PAY income tax?! Idiots.

It was a political never-happened as they defined people who died in hospitals but tested positive for COVID as COVID deaths to juice numbers and engage in the Global Psy Op We had two light flu seasons then two heavy ones as people forgot what it's like to be sick. Societal hysteria, labeling, Media, politics...the Western Free World was ripe to be manipulated, they WANTED to be manipulated

it’s more than that....we will find out/realize that there was a global cabal sending us on an unenviable crusade

I’m sorry, I try but you people are just so stupid. Trump’s IDEAS were good, that’s all that matters. Biden’s are horrible, that’s what matters too

Basically, Democrats’ ideas are really bad That’s all you need to know

Yeah, that's a different animal. Hopefully in our lifetimes (I mean scaled, reliable Energy production)

It was quite clearly a Sino-Russian Psy Op designed to turn the Western Leftist world against itself and shift the world order. They knew what we would get ourselves into if given the chance. Those are gov't numbers which you need to stop trusting, and they are nowhere near Apples/Apples.

Hydrogen does not produce power itself, it is a delivery mechanism for stored power, like a Battery

"The Libs" should be pro-nuclear, but they're apparently not very smart so they missed this boat by a mile. The answers to your questions are that Nuclear SHOULD be able to replace Nat Gas, but for the next 10-15 years you're still talking Nuclear Fission. In that case, it's just not possible and we will be ultra-reliant on Nat Gas. Incidentally your 30% number is way off, it's really 38-40% but in reality it's much more than that at given periods...you can't average out baseload capacity for the periods when Renewables are actually 'shining' or else you'd have extended periods of down-time. The US Gov't (read, Libs) have made operating and constructing a Fission plant so impossible that none will be constructed, I'm sorry to say, to create this response you're referring to. They are still shutting down US Nuclear plants, and the most recent dual-Fission reactor plant to be constructed was/is like 8 years behind and costing $Billions more than expected, essentially shutting down any follow-on projects. There would be hope for smaller reactors in development if not for the afore-mentioned cultural problem we have with the Left. So you're really going to have to wait a couple decades for Nuclear Fusion to take over...the Tech is really getting there but will take a generation for it to be scaled to our needs. US citizens should watch what's happening to their Eco-Green-Oriented European counterparts, particularly this winter when they have no fuel to burn unless they pay Russian extortionary pricing (in Rubles likely), and reconsider if that's the future they under some Leftist/Biden/Harris leftward lurch.

Sorry, dumb Never forget that our society is going to collapse under 8-9% inflation, and the looney tunes under your Party's cap wanted to spend ANOTHER $6T to really send us into the Dark Ages. The Filibuster protects us all against completely stupid Leftists, thank God

Commodities prices are dropping quickly all over the place as investors and industry participants brace for the pending Implosion/Recession that's coming. Such periods are really bad for prices. The Fed has to irrationally raise Interest Rates well above the natural rate to levels that cease commerce because our Liberal/Democratic morons in charge shut down the Economy over a run-of-the-mill virus and pumped $10T into a $20T economy because they don't know what they're doing. The human toll from those actions will dramatically exceed any suffering (over)-attributed to COVID.

It's the great "unsaid": some time ago society declared war on privileged White Males. The problem is not all white males are privileged, but they have to deal with the same new framework as the actual privileged males. No defending the behavior at all, but there are cost/effect to actions that societies are not very good at understanding. And the American Left is absolutely horrific at understanding...

The Nat Gas assumptions...not possibly close I'm afraid. And the Libs hate Nuclear, so good luck with that.

The reality is we are at the stage of the implosion of civilization where Leftists are just rewarded for joining the cause however inane, inept, illegal or whatever their concepts are.... They will be rewarded by the Left in many ways for forwarding the cause...

No I don't care, you just lack critical-thinking skills, and like most of America have little knowledge of viruses Think about these questions: 1) Why did China obfuscate or flat out lie about the real health effects of this latest "novel coronavirus"? I assure it wasn't because they didn't know. They've dealt with novel coronaviruses more than anyone 2) Why did China hoard "PPE" from the West after "making it clear" that everyone needed PPE to protect themselves from the virus? 3) Why were Chinese Twitterbots posting bogus videos of people "with COVID" dropping dead in streets which is absolutely not what happens here? They convinced the West to destroy their Economies, tilt their politics suicidally Left, crush a generation and basically cede eventual Global domination by hyping a slightly worse Flu bug. But "oh right" a MILLION Americans died over 2.3 years of a disease we were convinced to desperately seek outcomes from...the historical obituary of the decline of Western Civilization will focus on the American Left's response to COVID, with pictures of youth basketball players wearing masks, etc.

Wrong Declare COVID over. We can debate about what it ever was (it was a global Psy Op that we fell for) but no matter, it's gone and is dramatically affecting our economy. People need to go to work. The Biden Admin needs to have the courage to declare this "Pandemic" is no longer a National Emergency and people need to get back to work to earn a living. Remove the punitive language and disincentives toward Energy production...ESG-related innovations are happening regardless, no need to punish the lower-40% of Americans to make John Kerry happy. Yes, maintain low overall Tax rates. It's an important incentive to invest here. Essentially, just do every thing that Trump was doing without the bombast that weak-minded Leftists can't take (nevermind that the Racist and Hate nonsense was creationism by radical Leftist media)

It's just that Tibs is a Leftist and has no idea how incentives work in an Economy. He can't track or understand rates of return, capital flows, etc etc For instance, Leftists are crowing about "Biden Deficit Reduction", but that's because they're too stupid to realize that's resultant from the Federal Reserve and Federal Gov't just PUMPING money into the Markets and Economy, leading to Trillions in short-term paper wealth profits, leading to lesser-Trillions in short-term cap-gains tax receipts, but ultimately not fundamentally changing anything, and in fact leading to this hyper-inflationary situation that's going to destroy livelihoods faster than they can say "Fossil Fuels Are Bad"

Means to An End Party They are terrible people. Dumb, but also terrible

I know you're not serious, but by your definition then Millions of Americans have "Stormed" the Capitol over the last 200 years. The Global Psy Op is nearing completion, thanks to Western Leftists

We're going on a 2-3 year Global Psy-Op/Kinetic War that we completely fell for....

Huh, what? Nat Gas operates in a regional/global market and producers are free & right to find the best price for their product. It's not their fault that Europe listened to much to their Green Left and demolished their Energy infrastructure and became entirely reliant on Russian Gas + US LNG...so now that they are dropping Russian Gas, European Nat Gas prices have sky-rocketed 156% this year to $189/mmbtu vs. US prices around $8.50. Yes, those prices are up 127% YTD here in the US, but that's our fault. NY State has enough Nat Gas to power half the US, but we won't allow it. So there you have it, the companies are responding appropriately to market forces.

There is no question that the cadre of Leftists sitting in some room in the White House directing US policy and writing pithy teleprompter speeches for the President to read really don't care at all about this country or its citizens.

Just remember, as bad as things are right now, our idiot Democrat leaders actually wanted to print and spend $6.5 TRILLION MORE dollars on their pet projects to buy votes...and when that didn't work they wanted $3.2 TRILLION...and when that didn't work they wanted $2.0 TRILLION...all on top of the unnecessary $1.9 TRILLION they printed when they came into office dubbed their "historic AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN". These people are so effing stupid they should be forced out of government NOW. The reality is they don't want you, the individual, to succeed...that does NOTHING for them. They want you to fail, so you NEED them, and they can come and rescue you with some tritely-named "rescue plan". Eff these people, they need to go.

Again, why on earth are we taking credit for any of this? What's the purpose, what's the point?
