Despite Donald Trump's ridiculous statements on climate change, and his systematic pandering to the coal and oil industry, the news on the environment is not as grim as we might think.
Wind and solar power are not only cheaper than coal and oil, but now provide far more jobs than fossil fuels. i.e. Capturing the ocean winds over the north Atlantic could generate enough energy to power the entire world. Today entire cities are being powered by over 60% solar and/or wind power. Even in the red state of Texas we find, if Texas were its own country, it would be #4 in the world in wind power production. In addition, Cities across America are picking up more and more of the landfill slack. Recycling centers in almost every major city are becoming more efficient and throwing a smaller percentage of bulk waste into landfills. National leaders in this area are San Francisco, CA Columbia, MO and Seattle, WA.
President Trump may want to recapture the 1950's where oil and coal were kings, but it's not going to work. Renewable energy is now too cheap, too plentiful, and creates too many jobs to turn back the hands of time. Sorry Donald, you lose again!
