The subsidization of solar and wind have directed a lot of resources toward these boondoggles rather than making fossil fuels a lot more efficient and available
Subsidies have existed both for alternative energy and fossil fuels so to use this as an attack vector on wind/solar isn't really a valid opinion.
Our productivity increases when energy gets cheaper and more abundant
Doesn't alternative energy increase the overall energy supply - wouldn't this be an argument for additional energy sources (fossil fuel and alt energy)?
It’s no wonder the best and the brightest in developing countries immigrate. They’re multiple times more productive in developed countries because they have access to abundant energy!
This commentary is limited in scope and doesn't take into account a variety of factors. Germany, for example, had the second highest net migration vs the world (https://www.un.org/en/desa/international-migration-2020-highlights) but can barely break into the top 10 in energy producers in the world. If you look at the UK, it paints even a starker picture.
