This never would have the force of gravity had the MSM not increasingly become left wing propagandists.

Got any examples? No, of course you don't.
But I do. Here's just one example of the MSM doing the opposite of what you claim:
Judith Miller (born January 2, 1948)[1] is an American journalist and commentator who is known for writing about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program both before and after the 2003 invasion, but her writings were later discovered to have been based on fabricated intelligence.[2][3] She worked in the Washington bureau of The New York Times before joining Fox News in 2008.

The subject matter is deeper than a couple of statistics that you think make up an actual argument.

No it isn't.
You only need to look at one chart to understand which direction we should be investing in, and which direction we should be weaning ourselves off of.
Now shut your little bitch mouth.
The Plummeting Cost of Renewable Energy

Key Takeaways
The price of concentrated solar power declined by 54% since 2014 and solar photovoltaic (PV) declined by 75%.
Concentrated solar power, which uses mirrors to produce concentrated sunlight, stood at a $53 billion market in 2023.
Wind power is at least 60% less expensive than in 2014, driven by larger generating capacity and technical advancements improving installation costs.
Supplemental:
The levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) is a measure of the average net present cost of electricity generation for a generator over its lifetime. It is used for investment planning and to compare different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis.

In February 2013, Biden gave an interview to Field & Stream magazine on the subject of gun violence and gun control. He was asked about the regulation of the very popular AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and its uses in hunting, self-defense, and target practice. Biden played down the use of such a weapon in hunting, saying: "If you have to go up into the Poconos and go bear hunting or deer hunting with that weapon, and you need a clip that has 30 rounds in it, then you shouldn't be hunting. You're a danger to yourself. If you can't get the bear or the deer in four or five shots, you've got a problem."
When the interviewer asked "What about the other uses, for self-defense and target practice?", the Vice President responded as follows:
"Well, the way in which we measure it is -- I think most scholars would say -- is that as long as you have a weapon sufficient to be able to provide your self-defense. I did one of these town-hall meetings on the Internet and one guy said, "Well, what happens when the end days come? What happens when there's the earthquake? I live in California, and I have to protect myself.""
"I said, "Well, you know, my shotgun will do better for you than your AR-15, because [if] you want to keep someone away from your house, just fire the shotgun through the door." Most people can handle a shotgun a hell of a lot better than they can a semiautomatic weapon in terms of both their aim and in terms of their ability to deter people coming. We can argue whether that's true or not, but it is no argument that, for example, a shotgun could do the same job of protecting you. Now, granted, you can come back and say, "Well, a machine gun could do a better job of protecting me." No one's arguing we should make machine guns legal."
The quotation included in the meme is therefore authentic, but a couple of contextual points should be noted.
First, Biden was speaking favorably about the use of a shotgun for self-defense in comparison with the use of an AR-15. He was not promoting shotguns in a television commercial nor recommending their use on his own initiative. He was making a broader point about what he perceived as the limited justifications for owning and using an AR-15 rifle after having been asked about the issue of self-defense specifically.
Second, the quotation from the meme was actually an instance of Biden paraphrasing himself, recalling an online forum in which he had earlier participated. It's not clear which conversation Biden was recalling, but it might have been one hosted by Parents magazine on 20 February 2013, which attracted news coverage for similar remarks the vice president made about the preferability of a shotgun over an AR-15.
A Facebook viewer submitted the following question: "Do you believe that banning certain weapons and high-capacity magazines will mean that law-abiding citizens will then become more of a target to criminals, as we will have no way to sufficiently protect ourselves?" Biden responded to say:
"If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrelled shotgun, have the shells, a 12-gauge shotgun, and I promise you, as I told my wife -- we live in an area that's wooded and somewhat secluded -- I said "Jill, if there's ever a problem just walk out on the balcony here, walk out, put that double-barrelled shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house." I promise you, whoever's coming in is not -- you don't need an AR-15. It's harder to aim, it's harder to use, and in fact you don't need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun."
"What I said was, if the intent is to have a gay wedding in a religious context, it would be a mockery for some Christians."
Here's the part that doesn't add up for me.
Do you have some kind of right to not be mocked?
Why is it the government's problem if someone makes a mockery of your religion?
Does this make a mockery of your religion?
Should government stop this?

JeffJ, surely you remember Nick Fuentes being keynote speaker at CPAC in 2014 or so. I posted a link to his speech here at the time. He called out a fellow conservative for changing his name to hide his Jewish roots. He said, when being compared to Hitler, why is that a bad thing.
Nick Fuentes represents mainstream Republican values now.
