5:44Now PlayingDuring a recent interview with Jenna Ellis, Marjorie Taylor Greene once again attacked renewable energy by claiming that solar isn't reliable because it isn't always "sunny" in Georgia. It would take her five seconds to find out how solar panels actually work, but she either refuses to do it because she knows she'll look stupid, or she's being intentionally obtuse in order to sell her talking points. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Marjorie Taylor green loves to talk about things that she doesn't quite understand. And one of those things that she loves to talk about that she has no clue how it works is, uh, solar energy during a recent interview on the Jenna Ellis podcast, Marjorie Taylor green talked about the fact that we need energy produced here in the United States, but it cannot be solar energy because as she clearly points out in this clip, I'm about to show you, uh, the sun's not always shining in Georgia geniuses. So what's she gonna do with your solar panels when there's a cloud? So take a look. Um, actually listen, because there's no video of Laura, Bobert here. It's a telephone interview, but anyway, here's Lauren or, or excuse me, Marjorie Taylor green. Um, I get the idiots confused sometimes. Sorry, but here is Marjorie Taylor green showing us why she is in fact not a scientist or an engineer here. It is
Another things that shouldn't get funded is all the climate scam garbage that was in that called reduction act? No, we don't have to be forced over to the green new deal where we're reliant on, on wind turbines and, and solar panels, uh, especially in places like Georgia, where we don't have the sun shining all the time. Um, no, we should be able to be American energy, energy independent, again, like we were under president Trump and we can also make that happen when we write the budget. So, so defund, defund defund is a word that, that every single Republican and every single Republican candidate needs to be saying over and over and over again, but it's actually putting it into action in the majority. Jenna, where you know, is the most important thing.
So after I, uh, well listen to, I can't say saw after I listened to that clip over this past weekend, I did what any normal person would do. I decided to look it up and I guess that's actually not what any normal person would do because most people don't do things like that anymore. But I wanted to get to the heart of it, right? Mostly just for me personally is how do solar panels manage to work when there's a dangled cloud in the sky, right? What do you do? because the sun's not always shining. Well, it turns out it was exactly what most of us understand the suns raise. Don't have to be beating down on UN impended for the solar panel to capture those rays and convert them to energy. They can penetrate clouds, they can penetrate very, very heavy thunderstorms. They can penetrate snowfall.
Did you know that most people of course understand these things and what Marjorie Taylor green doesn't understand because she brings up, oh, thunderstorms clouds, all these things. Marjorie, whe when you have cloud cover, is it just pitch black darkness? Nobody can see a thing right in front of their face at all. Or is there still some light in the world? The answer is, of course there's still some light, right? But it doesn't matter because you don't even necessarily need the light. What you need are the Ray, right? The rays coming off, the sun, those ultraviolet lights that's what does it, not the heat from the sun, which is what Marjorie Taylor green seems to be getting confused with energy. Yes, it is hotter when there is no cloud cover. You're hotter in the sun than you are in the shade. But even when you have a torrential downpour, right?
