The Ex Who Won't Go Away
Welcome to America's most dramatic reality show: "The Energy Bachelor!" Watch as our contestant, Donald Trump, tries to rekindle his passionate romance with his old flame, Fossil Fuels, while ghosting his recent green energy matches from the dating app "Carbon-Free Cupid."
America's Energy Dating Game: A Love Story Gone Nuclear |
"Oil and gas are my soulmates," Trump was heard saying at a campaign rally. "We had such beautiful times together during my first term. Such tremendous chemistry. Nobody understands chemistry better than me, believe me!"
The Paris Agreement: It's Not You, It's Me (Actually, It's Definitely You)
Remember when America broke up with the Paris Agreement? Well, get ready for Season 2 of "International Breakup Drama." It's like that friend who keeps getting back together with their ex only to break up again. At this point, the Paris Agreement should just change its relationship status to "It's Complicated" and call it a day.
The Home Renovation Special: Energy Edition
Trump's energy policy is like watching a home renovation show where the host insists on installing a coal furnace in a Tesla factory:
Host: "And here we have a beautiful, vintage 1950s coal-burning system!"
Viewers: "But what about solar panels?"
Host: "Solar panels? Never heard of them. Fake news. Besides, they're probably made in China!"

The Great Energy Dating Pool
Let's look at America's energy dating options:
- Oil & Gas (The Traditional Match)
- Pros: Already knows where all the good drilling spots are
- Cons: Kind of toxic, has commitment issues with the environment
- Trump's Take: "Now that's what I call a hot date!"
- Solar & Wind (The Modern Couple)
- Pros: Clean, increasingly affordable, doesn't send angry texts at 3 AM
- Cons: Sometimes ghosty (when it's cloudy or calm)
- Trump's Take: "Too wishy-washy. Also, wind turbines are bird conspiracies!"
- Nuclear (The Mysterious One)
- Pros: Reliable, powerful, science-y
- Cons: Comes with some baggage
- Trump's Take: "Now there's a hot option! Very hot. The hottest!"
The Trade War Dating Game
Watch as America plays hard to get with Chinese solar panels and electric vehicles! It's like putting a restraining order on your ex's new green technology startup. "Sorry, China, but these tariffs are just my way of saying 'It's not EU, it's you.'"
Energy Independence: The Single Life
Trump's vision of energy independence is like that friend who claims they're "totally happy being single" while secretly swiping right on Saudi oil imports at 2 AM. "We don't need anybody else's energy," they say, while drunk-texting OPEC for just one more barrel.
The Reality Show Plot Twist
But here's the shocking twist that would make even reality TV producers blush: Despite all the drama, renewables grew 66% during Trump's first term! It's like finding out the villain of your favorite soap opera has been secretly donating to charity this whole time.
The Global Energy Market: The Real Matchmaker
Turns out, the true matchmaker isn't Washington's drama – it's good old-fashioned economics. While politicians are busy playing "The Dating Game" with different energy sources, the market is sliding into renewables' DMs like:
Market: "Hey, u up?" Solar: "New phone, who dis?" Market: "Just noticed your prices are looking real fine lately..."
China: The Rival Dating Show
Meanwhile, China's running its own dating show called "Who Wants to Dominate the Global Energy Market?" It's like watching your ex start a wildly successful business after you broke up – slightly annoying but also kind of impressive.
The Grand Finale: America's Energy Future
So what's next for America's energy love life? Will we:
- Get back together with coal? (The ex who still has your high school varsity jacket)
- Finally commit to renewables? (The sensible option your friends keep recommending)
- Try to date everyone at once? (The "energy dominance" strategy)
Stay tuned for the most dramatic energy policy season ever!
Epilogue: A Letter from the Future
Dear America, Your energy transition is like your attempt to eat healthier – you know you should do it, you keep saying you'll start tomorrow, but there's always one more fossil fuel burger to finish first.
Love, The Rest of the World
Disclaimer: This contains more energy than a nuclear power plant and more drama than a teenage group chat. Side effects may include spontaneous giggling at energy policy meetings and an irresistible urge to install solar panels while watching reality TV.
Critics' Reviews:

- "Better love story than Twilight!" - Fossil Fuel Weekly
