Climate inflation, not real costs, hits wind and solar projects

Tom KirkmanIndependent Project Manager

Climate Inflation is wrecking economic havoc on what used to be ever cheaper and cheaper wind and solar power projects.

Rampant Climate Inflation is massively driving up costs for wind and solar power projects, making many new projects economically unviable.

Which is so sad : (

That darn Climate Inflation is the root cause.

Solar and wind power projects (and especially *offshore* wind projects) were previously very much economically viable and profitable, able to successfully compete against those evil, greedy oil and gas and nuclear power companies.

But fear not, Bidenomics can fix this!

The obvious Bidenomics solutions to combat Climate Inflation are:

● print more trillions of dollars out of thin air

● increase subsidies for wind and solar projects by 1,000%

● send even more hundreds of billions of dollars and weapons overseas, to help combat foreign interference and disinformation

See? So simple.

Bidenomics Climate Solutions are infallible, and a true force of nature.

Climate Inflation doesn’t stand a chance against the awesome mental might and innovations of Bidenomics Science.

    I'm confused. Are you happy or sad that my mere words and a bad meme are driving you to drink this fine Sunday morning?

    Personally, I prefer black coffee in the morning, but to each his own : )

    It actually took me half a cup of coffee to make my meme this morning; mostly from hunting down online a useless graph for pointless illustration purposes.

    LinkedIn AI prefers posts which have graphics, so I'm simply trying to make the LinkedIn Climate AI happy this morning.

    that darn Climate Grift Inflation is to blame. Soon, the Bidenomic EV Climate Solution will allow literally *dozens* of new EV charging stations to be planned.

    The actual *execution* of the planned dozens of EV charging stations will need at least a few billion dollars. Which of course will help spur the economy *even more*.

    she actually wears a hoodie with her own name emblazoned on it? Dang, that amount of narcissism exceeds Justin Trudeau and Gavin Newsom.

    Laurence Wagner unfortunately, this is true. And it will be a hard lesson for many Climate Anxiety true believers.

  5. Tom Kirkmanreplying to (Jerry) Jianguo Shi

    simple. Massively increasing subsidies removes competition from the arena.

    And massive subsidies encourage profligate spending, which is good for the economy.
