Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor GREENE continues her brutal assault on solar panels,
wind energy, electric vehicles. This is one of my favorite topics. These right wingers,
I genuinely don't know whether they're this dumb or they just believe their followers are dumb. But
they are continuing this path of saying electric vehicles are no good. You can't drive anywhere in
electric vehicles. They don't have enough range. We don't have enough electrical supply in the grid
to power electric vehicles. Solar power and wind power are no good and you can't really
do all the things you might want to do in your home if you have solar or wind power. Here is
Marjorie Taylor GREENE straight up saying, if you depend on wind turbines and solar panels,
you're not going to be able to have air conditioning in the summer and you're not going
to be able to run your appliances. Check this out. Speaker 4: The gentleman.
Unidentified: We're over here in Georgia. Can we just say.
Speaker 4: Thank God for your discount refrigerators,
please? I like my refrigerator. I know you all like yours. Washing machines and dryers
or please God, don't make me scrub clothes in a bucket and have the hair out on the line.
Why don't you switch over to turbines and solar panels? I'm going to be really pissed
off about that. Speaker 1:
This is a real you know, the sun is hot. How could you possibly cool anything down with solar power?
This is not new. Okay. This is a newer version of what Donald Trump was going
around saying during his 2020 campaign about Joe Biden's energy policy. Remember, this will.
Speaker 2: Be no heating in the winter, no air conditioning in the summer,
and no electricity whenever you want it. Right now, you haven't made yourself lucky.
You are so lucky, have you? A president? Unidentified:
And your team is. Speaker 2: Doing a good job.
Speaker 1: Right. So this is the same thing they've been pulling for a while.
There's just not enough power in wind and solar to power anything. If Joe Biden is president,
you won't have heating or cooling. By the way, we've had heating or cooling under Joe Biden.
I can assure you, you can have everything you want with solar and wind. I have solar. It runs
my air conditioning all summer and I still get credits and cashback. It runs my fridge,
it runs my oven. It runs all of the elements of my bathroom that doesn't actually use electricity.
Those are plumbing. It charges my electric vehicle and it pays zero each month during the summer.
And I build up credits for winter. Yes, in winter I use more than the solar generates,
but I've got the credits and the rebates from the summer and I pay zero for utilities and it's just
solar. Now it is true that right now I have solar panels, but I can't store that
I don't have a battery system and this is something that's going to be the next
phase. There are people who have a battery system so that at night when there's no sun,
you are using your stored electricity. Right now, the way it works is when I overproduce,
other people get to use the power generated by my solar panels and then at night I'm getting
power generated elsewhere. But it works out to where I'm juice generating as much as I use
so far this summer, just running everything with solar panels. I got $250 in rebates
and I've got about $300 in credit built up with the electric company to offset my winter heating
when there's less sun. And you might say, well, what about beautiful gas or oil heat? I mean,
that's super powerful and efficient, right? At least for heating. We should be using those
things. Now, electric heat pumps are much more efficient than furnaces, and most heating systems
in the United States are using forced air furnaces of some kind. They either run on natural gas
or oil or sometimes electricity. And that is much less efficient than these heat pumps, electric
heat pumps that are there to heat a building. The heat pump will extract energy from the outdoor air
or from the ground and convert it to heat from the house. It's much more efficient. So
I don't know whether Marjorie Taylor GREENE just doesn't know about any of this stuff
or whether she knows, but understands that she has to keep repeating these things.
I genuinely don't know. I mean, she doesn't strike me as particularly bright, but they are now on
this really, really hard electric vehicles, bad solar panels, bad wind power, bad. It's all bad.
It's actually all really good. And the efficiency that we would achieve if more vehicles switched to
electric and more homes switch to solar and wind with electric heat pumps and induction cooktops
would be an incredible effect. Now, this this doesn't mean we excuse industrial
carbon footprints. This is the thing where people get into, well, if I just stop using
straws or whatever. Yeah, that's very it's pennies on the dollar and we have to deal with industry.
It must be dealt with. But if the entire country switched to these more efficient systems,
it wouldn't be the problem. Marjorie Taylor GREENE is saying it would actually be really good
