USA produces mostly fossil fuel energy, 84% – Solar & wind make up just 2.2% of all energy – Over the past decade, solar & wind increased total energy production by 2.1% compared to fossil fuels increase at 27.9%
Bjorn Lomborg: ” The US produces mostly fossil fuel energy (84%). Solar and wind make up just 2.2% of all energy (not just electricity). Over the past decade, solar and wind increased total energy production by 2.1%. Fossil fuels increased energy production by 27.9%.
The US is mostly run on fossil fuels, also in 2023. 82% of all energy (not just electricity) consumed comes from coal, oil and gas. Nuclear is 9%, renewables (mostly biomass) is 9%. Solar and wind contributes 2.5%.
The US, has since 2019, produced more energy than it consumes. And it has never been more energy-independent since WWII. Last time of small energy surpluses was 1957.”

Watch: Morano on Fox talks Biden’s access to ‘COVID-like powers’ if he declares a national ‘Climate Emergency’ – ‘Dictatorial Powers’
Fox Business – The Bottom Line w/ Dagen McDowell & Sean Duffy – Broadcast April 19, 2024
Sean Duffy: The White House told Fox Business that it is now considering declaring a national ‘climate emergency.’ If the President declares a climbing emergency, what impact would that have?
Marc Morano: This is the serious story of the day. NBC News has reported that if Joe Biden declared a national climate emergency, he would have COVID-like powers under that emergency and NBC also compared the climate emergency powers to the 911 emergency powers. The Center for Biological Diversity has estimated Joe Biden would get about 130 wartime-like powers by which to bypass democracy and impose the Green New Deal on America without a single vote of Congress. This is truly a Halloween story, not a story for Earth Day. This is a truly frightening story, and he might just be desperate enough to declare it.
This is being widely reported in the media. The Biden White House is leaking this out. This might happen, and it is going to give Joe Biden these kind — you want to say the words dictatorial powers. He doesn’t need no stinking democracy to impose the Green New Deal if he does this.
