    Exactly right if we only look at the very near future: before Brandon’s term ends, candles will be made of animal fat like in the early middle ages.

    Varvel drew an LED bulb as a symbol of Trump?

    When everybody knows that LED bulbs are an example of government overreach and are totally an example socialist communist fascist government policy.

    I mean, even Sarah Palin said so.

    If you’ll recall, Trump raged against LED lights because they made his face look orange. Not the bronze spray crap he always seems to put on his face, it’s the lighting. Yeah, right. Everyone should pay higher energy electricity bills and waste energy so HE gets to look his “best”.

    Varvel yet again demonstrates his cluelessness about his analogies. The real Trump was anti-LED lamps due to his orange hue-itis and Biden wants the country to move away from fossil fuels (most candles are paraffin based and derived from oil). You Varvel are the joke in this failed attempt at editorial humor!

    No brains, but Trump should be his picture. I wonder when the Republican hunters and fishermen will begin to realize, they’ve run out of available fish, game has disappeared and they’ll have to run around the woods looking for something shoot?The price of oil has climbed a lot. It may get still worse for a while.But don’t worry too much about that. Worry what happens when some reasonable percentage of vehicles are electric and as the price of electric power continues to drop.Oil and gas prices will crash but there won’t be any jobs anyway.

    It seems many libs here do not know that CA is experiencing brownouts because of a lack of coal and nuclear power. Whether one has incandescent or LED bulbs, it’s not going to work during a brownout. That"s Biden’s green energy “plan”.

    Gary you hate progress and technology. Isn’t going back to candles your idea of when America was great? With a life expectancy of 38? Women “knowing their place”? Slavery?

    You certainly behave as if you would prefer to have all your creature comforts forcibly removed.

    Forbes article that disputes the false RW claims about energy independence. Be sure to click on the embedded link that has more details about why Trump’s claims of providing energy independence in his term are false.

    “Maybe there might be a future in renewable energy, but what we have now is working just fine, and it will cost us a lot to make a switch.”

    We started hearing that in 1970. Costs in terms of pollution and climate disasters will be greater, we said.

    And here we are, hearing the same tired thing from people who won’t see what is right in front of them. Today’s intentional ignorance in pursuit of doing nothing is tomorrow’s death and destruction. Don’t these people have children or grandchildren that they pretend to care about?

    The hilarious part of this comic is showing a modern technology light bulb in the losing president’s side. Remember he actually proposed making high technology lamps legally harder to build and sell with a yearning to return to the good old days of incandescent lamps. I guess if you state the opposite of reality in your fictional comic it makes it an “alternate truth” for the gullible faithful to worship. Making america grate again!

    I’ve seen those LED candles. They are decorative, and very energy efficient with a nicer light than that orangey incandescent.
