In remarks to oil industry, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas calls renewable energy a 'cult'

[douglas9]

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn's made no secret that he's Big Oil's good buddy. After all, the Texas Republican raked in $1.4 million in fossil fuel-industry campaign contributions from 2015 through 2020.

But, when it comes to climate change, Cornyn hasn't exactly resorted to the same level of over-the-top rhetoric of his GOP brethren like Donald Trump, who liked to dismiss it as a "Chinese hoax."

Until last week. That's when Cornyn spoke at an energy summit in the East Texas town of Tyler.

“It’s pure fantasy. … This is part of the cult, or religion, of renewable energy,” Cornyn told oil and gas execs at the event, the Dallas Morning News reports. “This is just the Green New Deal wearing other clothes.”

1. Cornyn is something of a cult too....or something similar.

2. Well Being Republican

Does make one an expert in Cults. Takes one to know one.

It also says a lot about Texas and their Senators when Dubai is more forward thinking about oil. Knowing it will not last for ever.

3. Nice cult to belong to

Haven't paid an electric bill or bought a drop of gasoline in over two years.

4. I'm in that cult. Time to end the stinky and nasty oil and gas as much as we can.

5. Cornyn is not a scientist or engineer. Some political hack told him that

"renewable energy" is a cult, and Cornyn repeats that, as he is the perfect stooge for Big Oil.
