Trump is fighting the green energy revolution. He'll lose.

The war has been decided. Green has won. Now we just have to mop up the last holdouts to fossil fuel. The cost of solar and wind has dropped below natural gas, and they continue to drop. Leaps are being made in battery technology, and sodium batteries will be a game changer. There are tools like solar chimneys and sand batteries that are cheap and very effective for cooling and heating respectively.

Defending coal and other end-of-life technologies is just stupid.
