Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it.

Empty words. The fact that the US is peacefully being screwed by the Russians does not mean that the Ukrainians will also put up with it. The West thinks they can keep warm by pissing their pants. There won't be peace, just a different kind of war. AND a trust-based alliance will be dead.
delaying renewable energy production only cedes the industry to China and leave the U.S. behind. renewables are the future. Cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient. We can either abandon the future, or embrace it
I’m sorry Joe, but your successor isn’t interested in building anything except his bank account and you know it. I’m begging you to please stop legitimizing what’s ahead.
Sorry, Prez, but trump is about to undo everything you've done. America will suffer because the rule of law was unable to act. We should never negotiate with terrorists whether they are of American-born, foreign, or abroad.
Biden apparently forgetting that the clean energy revolution that Carter started over four decades ago was swiftly obliterated by the subsequent Reagan administration.
Give him 5 minutes and Trump will claim all Biden's success over the last 4 years were actually his work from behind the scenes.
Which is of course BS, but that's the one thing Trump specializes in, Well America bought the entire shipment. I just hope they enjoy it when it hits the fan in January!
I'm sure he's like, well if you voted in the devil, you'll get the devil and if you were too lazy to get out and cast your vote, then you get what you get
Wonder if it's frustrating to painstakingly fix the disasterous results of two Republican presidencies only to know someone is going to have to do it again.
This makes me so angry. All the feels. I have not been on any news outlet since, and this is startlingly unnerving just to read the brief post. I can’t make myself look and accept.
Pres Joe, thank you for your legacy of the laws you passed and tried to pass.
Please expedite the approval of judicial appointments and other executive appointments
I'd love to hear the f bombs he supposedly drops etc but poking the bear, Trump,in public won't help. I'm scared for the world, never thought this could happen here. And what a dangerous vapid crew he has w him. No one would work for trump w any morals or character.
I get it. But I don't think he is naive about it. He knows Putin and what's going on. He also sees these new clowns in MAGA, congress and the supreme Court just went balls out corrupt. What guard rails? He is ,I think, doing stuff behind scenes what he can. I hope. I have such little hope now.
California is typically over 80% zero emission power during the day. We have roughly 20 GW of solar power. We're adding more all the time. The plan is to add another 1.7 GW of geothermal in addition to the 730 MW we already have.
We have the largest energy storage system in the world, 13.3 GWh.
That's good but California is not the US. Correct me if I'm wrong but is Gavin doing his second mandate? I hope the next governor is also a democrat and does the same.
The governor is not the only republican who said he hates Trump and many of them still bent the knee. Never say never. It doesn't matter what California does, it doesn't mean the other states will follow.
California is a world leader in that.....and in 2024, in the whole USA, no new coal plants were planned, and 80% was solar or storage. Trump can't stop that trend.
No new coal plant was planned because of cost but gas plants can still be planned even if it cost more. Remember: Trump placed an oil exec as the head of the energy department.
Biden is acting like this is politics as usual. Does he NOT remember how he had to fight the GSA and TFG’s sycophant’s to get funding for HIS transition? He’s a decent man, but “Come on, man!” He needs to do more to protect us from the orange Hitler and his clown Cabinet.
In Ontario, Canada the provincial gov't paid $231M to dismantle already completed wind turbines over a populist uninformed position. Don't underestimate what the GOP will do in the US.
Not to mention the 250 million paid to break the contract with beer companies early so that they could get booze into corner stores assp. Or the 3 billion they're about to spend to send every citizen $200.
Truth. The conversation to renewable, clean energy is inevitable. It's already become the cheapest source of power in most of the world. And the tech development is still on the steep upward path. The economics are the sales pitch.
I'm sure Biden made this statement after that 🍊thing selected a climate deniers oil executive, CEO Chris Wright, as his Department of Energy Secretary. What a shame. We're in for a bumpy ride, folks.
Biden is a disappointment. The United States military WILL be ordered to fight against U.S. citizens. If Biden were Commander-in-Chief, the military would be fighting MAGA extremists. When Trump holds the power, the military will be targeting you and me. Disappointing.
If we knew then what we know now, Hitler would have never been allowed to come to power. Biden has presidential immunity. He took an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States. Instead he is supporting someone elected on lies, deceit and criminality with Putin's help

A majority of the American people voted for Trump. He won the election. We aren't MAGA. We accept election results, Americans wanted Trump, their gonna get him
Yup. WTF are the people going to do if the President tells them, "No, you don't get the candidate you voted for!" It's a shitty situation, but Biden doing fascism is not what will stop fascism.
Biden is handing over the country to someone who cannot constitutionally hold office (and who has broken our laws.) I have a problem with that. How can Trump's presidency have any legitimacy if he is overseeing the laws that he himself has broken?
Except the U.S. Constitution says that anyone who has engaged in insurrection can not hold office. Trump will hold the presidency illegitimately and his term will be a continuation of an insurrection to destroy our government and institutions. It's unconstitutional.
The Senate filibuster can be eliminated with 51 votes. This would require the Senate to use the "nuclear option," a parliamentary procedure that allows the Senate to change its rules with a simple majority vote, bypassing the usual 67-vote threshold needed to change Senate rules.
What about these recess appointments? I don't want to get into it. That is more to push through these ridiculous picks for his junk drawer as someone called it. We know Mike Johnson loves sending the house home on recess. They are gonna eat other in the house, it was bad before but it's gonna be suc
Thank you for your leadership and dedication to building a sustainable future! It's inspiring to see commitment to the clean energy revolution—looking forward to the positive impact it'll have for generations to come. Let's keep moving forward together! 🌍💚
I will sincerely miss Joe Biden. We won't see his kind again anytime soon. Gentleman, humanist, feminist, environmentalist, maybe too humble for the roaring 2020's.
He may be trying civility. While not antagonizing the monsters. He has done so much, and always against even his supposed Senate majority. I hope sinema never crawls out and shows her tacky dressing self. Manchin loving the fossil fuels. Plz teach kids to be skeptical, independent thinkers, readers
I love POTUS always have always will. I can't wait til people learn the good he has done. So what if he likes to just get shit done, not have endless press conferences bragging etc.. and Kamala Harris admires him and was loyal. 3 months to replace a candidate? Tough AF esp for all the disinfo
But for you knuckleheads that thought an open primary leaving what a month, and not the presidential purse is just fooling themselves. I'd like to hear the United version of that debate. The media sabotaged POTUS so hard, and Pelosi and others openly showed weakness. They should've rallied. Never
Oops un muted debate. But both work for diff reasons. I bet trump was saying the most insane shit causing POTUS to stare mouth open in SHOCK. Like wtf but I guess we won't know. Elon is a villain but a weirder one and the guest that never leaves. He speaks in marvel quotes, memes, and is on ketamine
Jesus! The friggin genuflecting to Trump using "tradition and honor" is really making that whole "grave threat to Democracy" argument look like just another election ploy. It's maddening to see so many folks just roll over. 🤬
Are you the guy responsible for turning those covers for the YouTube videos into what reminded me of the covers of the National enquirer back in the day? Asking for a friend. Yes it's rhetorical
Joe was an aspirational & inspirational President… unfortunately, it turns out that we needed for him to be supported by a far more ruthless & cutthroat Democratic Party against the batshit crazy antics of Don The Con’s MAGA acolytes.
I can't believe we are losing Harris over Trump they turned their backs on justice and democracy because she has a vagina. It was never about the carton of eggs.
Joe needs to refuse to step down honor your oath President Biden to protect and defend from both foreign and domestic.. both of those situations are here in America now ! Do not surrender our democracy ☝️
How about Biden doesn't transfer power and Harris puts an end to this bullshit. Somebody has to save democracy in America. Why can't the Democrats buck up?
So happy that one of America's--my adoptive country--foremost president's last foreign trip is in the country of my birth. Sad times await the world over. It behooves each one of us to fight Fascism and populism with every fiber of our being.
I am thankful Biden restored sanity to our world for a few years, but I do think he’s out of touch. Treating Trump as if he’ll see the light and do the right thing by this country is living with your head in the sand.
Biden: I will leave my successor and my country with a strong foundation to build on if they choose to do so. It's true, some may seek to deny or delay the clean energy revolution that's under way in America, but nobody, nobody can reverse it.
DJT should not have been allowed the chance to destroy not only climate progress, but progress we have made in civil rights/health/women's rights/workplace safety & rights/equality. He will dismantle progress, our institutions, our economy and us. We are going backwards to very dark times.

But we need some dark Brandon action as well.

Or maybe like the rest of us, he can't have that turds name in his mouth!😂

So yeah, Trump doesn’t care what his constituents think because he completely controls what they think.
1) they don't have 60 votes in the senate, so we can and will filibuster;
2) their majority in the House is thin as well;
3) the military is obligated to ignore illegal orders, and he can't just unilaterally fire a general unless it is in time of war
Republicans have moved on from that, Democrats need to as well.
That doesn't make you stop loving your country if you truly loved it.
You guys can miss me with "because trump has been reelected, the country is garbage and I'm not going to try to set things right".
We have the largest energy storage system in the world, 13.3 GWh.
And, a Republican has won Governor recently, but he was right on all the social issues & hates trump with passion.
NO ONE who supports trump could EVER be Governor of CA
California alone, as a state, has a higher GDP than Britain.
And we hate trump and are going to use our economic might, along with our large representation in the House, to stop anything he might do
https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=61424
And, they will.
#FAFO
They would be legally obligated to ignore such an order.
If you want to convince me that we are going to turn into a fascist state, that's going to happen, as it didn't happen in 2016.
He'll make a lot of things worse, but in 2026 we'll get more seats in the house, and in 2028, we'll get back the Presidency
Mike Johnson can send the house home all he wants, the Senate will remain in session to block recess appointments. 😀
But they will still be in disarray. The best chance we have to slow them down or even stop them in their tracks.
Chucklefucks.
