#166 In which this photo doesn’t look a bit like you

The “scams of the century”? Wind and solar energy. Of course, you knew that already, so when it was asserted by Chris Wright, the Energy Secretary in Trump’s Cabinet of Curiosities, it wasn’t a terrible surprise. Proving the benefits of alternate anergy (i.e., the ones that don’t contribute to Trump’s campaign fund) are easy to track down, so we won’t bother you with all that. But we will quote this particular gem from Mr. Wright: “Wind and solar energy infrastructure is essentially worthless when it is dark outside, and the wind is not blowing.” Hmmm. There’s no grid, and no batteries, Mr. Secretary?

We suggest putting Secretary Wrong in charge of the next space expedition to the sun. The heat won’t be a problem; they can just go at night.
