Energy sources have historically taken decades to transition from old methods to new technologies. Changes were driven by visionary entrepreneurs coupled with evolving public demand.
The transition from horses and buggies to automobiles took 50 years. Even in that long time span, this evolution was not always beneficial to individuals or communities. There were pros and cons on both sides. “Before city dwellers complained about cars, smog, congestion, and the loss of public space, they railed against stinking, fly-ridden horse crap.”
The difference between the 19th century and the 21st century is that new energy technology slowly grew in popularity while capitalism fueled the desire for a better life. Now Americans are suffering during Biden’s presidential term, and the wounds are self-inflicted. Politicians and regulatory bureaucrats are purposely destroying our energy independence while pretending their policies have nothing to do with issues of inflation, shortages, and possible rationing. They are misdirecting blame to Putin and COVID-19, but they know better. Biden and his cohorts are deliberately weakening our country for what seems like a blend of Marxist-green ideology. They even think our pain is funny.
