Could MAGA come around on renewables?

With the economics (clean energy cheap vs. oil expensive) daily growing more stark, will Trumpworld actually flip on renewables? Even modest softening of their hardline stance could help. We hate hypocrisy but we hate fossil fuels even more, so here’s hoping! Why MAGA suddenly loves solar power

[R]ecently that Make America Great Again fire hose has also contained posts that seem off-brand for the former GOP official, whose spouse is Trump’s domestic policy [terror] chief Stephen Miller.

“Solar energy is the energy of the future,” Katie Miller posted recently. “Giant fusion reactor up there in the sky – we must rapidly expand solar to compete with China.” Another of her posts suggested solar is more vital to the U.S. than coal power, contradicting White House messaging and policy.

This article, syndicated from the Washington Post, is a month old now, and I haven’t seen much else about it. But again, every solar panel, battery, and wind turbine we can put up helps. If the grifters currently in charge of our country (“Asked if she is getting paid for her advocacy, like some other MAGA heavyweights promoting solar, Miller would not comment”) make a dirty buck off of this, too… well. It’s not ideal, but in the big picture it’s better than nothing.
