The inauguration of Joe Biden on January 20 was a major setback for those of us who abhor The Green New Deal, the obstruction (hopefully not destruction) of our current energy supply, and the untold trillions to be spent on renewable energy sources. Achieving the objectives of NewEnergy2040 got much harder, but we should not view this event as a death knell. Merely a pothole in the road, albeit a large one. Common sense energy policy must prevail in the long run, I still believe that. NewEnergy2040 may now realistically be NewEnergy2050; but we can, and must, continue to push ahead toward the horizon and what lies beyond.
