By the way, electricity from renewables is up 268% in 2017 from 2007, but . . .
renewables still provide less than 10% of total generation.
Unfortunately, America produced less total electricity in 2017 than it did in 2007, too, by 3.1%.
And the price of a kilowatthour is up 14.8%.
Reducing energy production and making it more expensive is no way to grow an economy, son.

longer a racist one.”
Read my lips: No second term

The Green New Deal aims to expand high speed rail "to a scale where air travel stops becoming necessary"
Air travel stopped being necessary for me in 1996.
Haven't flown since.
