    Energy Department Secretary Jennifer Granholm gushed about China's approach to green energy in a Friday interview, saying she hoped that the U.S. could learn from China's approach.

    Granholm made the comments at the SXSW conference in Austin, Texas, during an interview with Wajahat Ali where she discussed her desire to push the U.S. toward "net zero by 2050" and remarked that China's investments in green energy were "encouraging."

    Ali introduced the topic by saying that there should be "accountability" for countries like America and China for the "damage to the world" he said they had wrought.

    "How do we hold China and ourselves accountable for what we are doing around the world?" Ali asked Granholm.

    She noted how the U.S. was pushing countries around the world to adopt "aggressive" climate policies "to make sure that we don't get climate - global warming happening over, you know, 1.5 degrees."

    Granholm said that some countries were ambivalent towards green energy efforts but that China had been investing heavily in green energy. "But, I think China has done - has been very sensitive, and has actually invested a lot in their solutions, to achieve their goals," she said.

    "So we're - we're hopeful that, you know, we can all learn from what China is doing," she explained. "The amount of money that they're investing in clean energy is actually, you know, encouraging."

    Critics have accused the Biden administration of being "gullible" in their efforts to work with China on green energy.

    "I find [it] utterly remarkable that Chairman Xi [Jinping] of China and the Chinese Communist Party gives a tinker's damn about the planet's climate or climate change," Texas Public Policy officer Frank DeVore told Fox News last month. "It is merely a device to engage gullible Westerners into thinking that somehow we can get meaningful cooperation."

    Under Biden, policymakers in the U.S. have continued to focus on making a renewable energy transition despite the geopolitical and economic risks that emerge from a lack of reliable and cheap power sources.

    While the U.S. has pushed to limit energy from coal and gas, China has approved coal-fired power plant construction initiatives at six times the rate of every other nation combined, while Europe has reluctantly restarted operations at mothballed coal-fired plants amid the loss of fuel imports from Russia.

Understanding that this fragile Republic of the self-governed is in a precarious space in our nation's vast history: What is your honor bound patriotic duty in helping to sustain the continuance of these United States of America?

  I will depend on my Democratic Socialist politicians to continue to march hard toward the Left to provide Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for all who think and do as they are told.

  I will defend the Constitution of the United States of America, and support all elected leaders who pledge to protect and insure the continued sovereignty of this Representative Republic.

  I am very concerned about maintaining my current life style without working. I was told that as long as I vote Democrat, I had nothing to worry about ... but now I worry.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
