The U.S.'s Energy Future Is Already Here 

I have solar panels and a wind turbine on my business with a wall of batteries and a natural gas generator for emergency. I usually get a credit on my energy bill that I apply to my home energy costs. This summer I installed an electric heat pump water heater. A heat pump on my furnace. It's still a natural gas furnace but it only comes on when necessary. I switched to a conduction stove. I put in a bank of batteries and a natural gas generator. Then put an array of solar panels on the roof of the porch and garage plus my mother's house in back. Pretty soon I'll be getting a check from the utility company instead of me paying them. It'll probably take a year before I recover the initial cost but it'll make me money in the end

Yay solar panels and wind turbines!

A leader that will not let America stay behind the race for the economy of the future that is a strong leader

As we are always working on the problems, its nice to take a step back and appreciate the positives for a moment. Thank you for the nice short video.

Solar powers the municipalities, schools, and street lights in my town. I'm surrounded by EVs and solar powered homes, too.

more people using wind and solar for their homes will help. however, solar is most effecting in the summer and wind...needs wind....but it shouldn't stop people from using them :D

30% of what? Do you mean energy through electricity, or total energy with combustion driving mechanical work? 30% of electricity is rightly an important development, but just calling it energy is misleading.

👍✌️👋❤❤❤

Yah, I do not believe 30 percent of our energy comes from renewables. Products that use renewable energy are much more efficient than products that do not use renewables. Meaning the products that do not use renewables waste more energy and have a higher cost and for their businesses have a higher profit. Conservatives in the past cared about energy efficiency now it only means less money to them. Using less money was a good thing but now private investors make gains off of inflation.

So the materials used in solar panels are very fragile and are very harmful to mine,( which we get from overseas. So we are paying china to give us renewable energy) on top of that yes we would need a skilled labor force to install and maintain the electric grid, unfortunately there has been major downsizing in energy maintenance and production here in the US becuase we buy our sources from other countries, another thing is lack of education in the field, no one is trying to sign up for a dangerous job, everyone is fighting to make you tube videos. Another thing is when slo Obama took over he started a windmill project that he never completed, he stopped construction after the first term. Then we let all that fiber glass and plastic rot under weather lack of maintenance. We know have thousands of windmills that can no longer be used and we can tear them down becuase beurocracy( government bought the land forcefully and now will not sell or give it back). And seeing that o ly the US and Britain were following the rules for a countries emissions, that 30% your talking about is us, and we only control 30 percent of land worldwide. So instead of making us pay and scrape our way to saving another 1% how about we focus on getting clean energy to other countries, the EV bill with everyone buying electric, what is the main source of our electricity, coal power plants, becuase people think nuclear are too dangerous, if you increase power demand we would need to increase coal usage, and ripping up the infrastructure to lay a new one down in a 20 year process that democrats are pushing to be done in 4, well when they first introduced it so now a few months. And there has been no headway on improving American lives and what your being told is lies, do your own research. Don't just take her word for it especially since she introduces everything in the "positive" space. Facts don't care about feelings, you camt ignore the bad and only think of the good otherwise your walking blindly towards your own failure. Hope this channel learns how to stop being a propaganda mill some time soon or we might have to cancel you.

Waste of money

China

This is so misleading. When you say "renewable", you're including hydro. We've always had hydro. The addition of wind and solar has been miniscule and fossil fuel energy use is also still growing. Also, this so called 33% is only for electricity production making the stat even more misleading and dramatically lower. Lastly, wind and solar will never be less expensive than fossil fuels, especially natural gas which is almost at the exact same price it was 30 years ago, because wind and solar are unreliable and require back up from nat gas, coal or nuclear. This is not factored in the cost. If it's so cheap why are electricity costs skyrocketing everywhere wind and solar are being used? This is why "people, mostly conservatives" rightly claim that "things aren't working", so spare us your sanctimony.
