Maybe a positive. Soy Beans are more healthy.

So lower fertilizer demand, and healthier produce, could be a net positive.

Kind of like an oil shortage is driving an increase in EVs and renewable energy.

Finally waking up the US that oil dependence is a National Security issue that renewables are possible solution for. That renewables aren't the 'woke' enemy, but a valid technical option.

So, maybe a net positive.

Amazingly invisible fact to the US political right. Glaringly obvious, yet they can't see it. It's almost like they don't even have their country's best interests at heart...

It's invisible because it doesn't exist. The US is a net oil exporter.

Even worse, oil dependence is a competitive liability --- not an advantage.

AI is energy intensive. And more expensive, carbon based based energy is a competitive disadvantage.

A competitive disadvantage in AI is an economic issue --- which ultimately translates into a National Security issue.

China leadership understands this. USA leadership is clueless.

We're in an energy crunch, and Republicans think it is a good idea to cancel wind farms because they ruin the view.

They have defined themselves in terms of their opposition to causes favored by the left.

Many of these causes imply spending copious money that they are less well disposed to stuff in their pockets or give as tax breaks to their benefactors.

Others make good political ammunition for their uneducated base.

They don't care about the view, they want to cancel them because they are "woke"

These are the people who roll coal

It is pretty ridiculous that a method of generating energy is 'woke'. Republicans think solar energy is a trans plot.
