Also the fantasy of having windmills and solar panels providing base load generation is hilarious.
Are any technical experts actually consulted during these fantasy policies?

4 trillion KW used in the US for 2022.
A 400W solar panel receiving 4.5 peak sun hours per day can produce 1.8 kWh of electricity per day
Any idea how many square MILES of solar panel would need to be manufactured, installed and maintained? (They do need to be washed periodically to make peak power).
