What I find ironic is that our push for 'green energy' is probably worse on our environment and our nation that fossil fuel production. An abundance of rare earth metals are needed for solar and wind energy production. Open pit mining is needed which ravages the land and, yes, takes huge amount of fossil fuels to perform. Most rare earth minerals needed come from China making us further dependent on that country.

I totally agree with you but the 3.3 trillion is already spent and the money to pay that off still needs to come from someplace.
