Energy costs are through the roof. People need opportunities to lower their bills & take control of their energy future. Heat pumps & plug-in solar installations are key strategies. We need way more of both & I introduced two bills to help get us there.

Yep and something like a green energy transition would also be problematic for the value of the dollar. Esp since then energy imports would be eg batteries and solar panels from China, who have a strong interest in replacing the dollar for international trade.

China is leveraging new quality productive forces to solve the world-class challenge of providing green electricity to hundreds of millions of people. In the first episode of #FutureChina, you will see how Chinese engineers deploy 14,500 heliostats in the Gobi Desert of Northwest China to reflect solar energy, store energy through molten salt "super batteries" to achieve 24-hour power supply, transmit electricity across 3,000 km to eastern China in just 0.01 seconds and light up 400 million lamps simultaneously in a single day.

Solar power costs $1300 per kW, nuclear power costs $6500 per kW. You can build about 5x the energy capacity in solar as nuclear for the money. Nuclear is rarely profitable. Solar rarely blows up contaminating air, land, and water for hundreds of years.
