Especially if we get them from China, right?

From the Daily Caller article
Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm suggested that solar panels and wind farms could be the key to ensuring world peace in the future.
Solar, wind and other renewable sources would be key for the U.S. and its European allies to have energy security, Granholm said during her remarks at the U.S.-EU Energy Ministerial hosted by the State Department on Monday. The energy secretary added that fossil fuel dependence puts the West at greater risk of volatile energy prices.
“High energy prices have been putting strains on households on both sides of the Atlantic,” Granholm remarked. “In Europe, you have seen prices go through the roof. Of course, tensions between Russia and Ukraine pose threats to the energy security of the European Union, our friends and partners.”
“All of this underscores the benefits of clean energy,” she continued. “I was at a ministerial last week and my counterpart in Ireland, Minister Ryan, said words that I thought were very interesting. No country has been held hostage to access to the sun. No country has been hostage to the wind. This is not just an energy and climate issue, it is also potentially the greatest peace plan that ever existed.
So, she took a long fossil fueled flight to discuss this? Huh. In fairness, she’s not wrong, energy independence does mean there is no need to rely upon energy from nations like Russia, China, Middle East, Iran, Venezuela. We could do that right now by allow drilling for petroleum and natural gas here in the U.S., while working towards making “renewables” viable, reliable, and affordable, without the need to cover everywhere with solar panels and wind turbines. And, let’s not forget building next gen nuclear power plants.
However, not everything violence is about energy. The Islamic jihadis aren’t fighting due to energy. Russia is not really looking to invade Ukraine over energy.
As for high energy prices, well, the policies of the climate cult elites have done this.
