I'm not saying don't go green. I'm saying the current plan is beyond stupid and pointless

Yeah, why not.

1. The production and demand just shifts to other places so going green does very little in the grand scheme of things.
2. Creates reliance on outdated unclean oil/gas/coal infrastructure and rouge nations especially in the case of an emergency.
3. The net total reduction is minimalized by the need for backup until the battery tech is there.

How? They all have to be backed up with gas and coal because they're unreliable so it's renewable + gas/coal which isn't very green

They can't just be jobs they need to be productive jobs that add value otherwise you're subsidizing waste and inefficiency
