climate denier. claims cheap energy built the middle class, and the gnd would be a ball and chain for everyman.

we actually agree on a lot, but he drinks the breitbart, et al, koolaid. we do talk through a lot of stuff, but climate is a hard one. he blathers on w his debunked cts, and i look dumb cuz i have no idea what he is talking about.
but solar and wind we have talked about, because i am dying to add both to my home. i have plenty of wind for roof top small wind, and if it isnt sunny, it's blowing.
so i have some current info on the $$, and his numbers are off my a mile.

the maths are a very fertile ground to battle the idiots.
