The Green New Deal s Bad Science

Mark Mills and James Meigs join John Stossel to discuss the Green New Deal, the limits of wind and solar power, and the magical thinking of an allrenewable energy future. Countries around the world are embracing subsidies to expand the production of renewables, and environmentalists claim that were on the cusp of a techdriven energy revolution that will make oil and gas obsolete. Are they right Not likely. According to Meigs and Mills, improvements in wind and solar technology are reaching their theoretical limits. It would be virtually impossible to generate the amount of wind and solar power necessary to replace the worlds oil and gas consumption. And yet, renewables enjoy strong political support, while nuclear technology, our best source of clean, reliable, andyessafe electricity, faces intense political opposition.
