No he can't. Until somebody admits that we need Nuclear Power to ever be able to make this happen, with windmills and solar panels complimenting it, this is just a dream that will never become reality.
P.S. Your electric cars are worse for the environment than the gas ones are, BTW, not to mention the intense strain it's going to put on our already increasingly strained nation-wide electrical grid.
I wouldn't expect retards like you to understand that though since you think that plugging something into the wall to make it work is powered by magic, and those clean looking batteries that take up half the weight of the entire car are just willed into existence by the very same magic.
Maybe one day you'd understand if we start making rich white Democrats who buy a new iPhone every year hot-box the portion of Chinese smog that was created for all of the unnecessary shit they buy every year from a bong. The bonus here being that they can be human HEPA filters for all of the carbon waste they create and when they're buried (after dying prematurely of Covid related illnesses, obviously), all of the CO2 emissions that were created half a world away to help them keep up with the Jones', along with all of the CO2 emissions that were created shipping it to their door will be sitting harmlessly underground instead of heating up the atmosphere.

Another Russia-hating hysterical cartoon from THUGR which "proves" that we "aren't" trying to destroy Russia.
/snicker
Tell me, THUGR, if Russia was REALLY deliberately targeting civilians, HOW MANY do you think could be killed in two weeks?
6,000?
10,000?
20,000???
After all, We managed to kill up to a million in Iraq, and we weren't even trying!
So give me your best guess!

Oh BTW SECOND, YOU don't know what you're talking about. A government agency can be ineffective and underfunded, and grossly fail to perform year after year, but if you REALLY think that a high visibility project (such as auditing Trump's taxes) gets handled like everything else... that it DOESN'T get maximum effort and full attention... then I have a Taj Mahal to sell!

Despite the Russian Revolution and the many Soviet slogans about brotherhood and equality, the cruel tendencies of Ivan the Terrible survived well into the 20th century. In a conversation with Sergei Eisenstein, the film director who made a biopic about Ivan the Terrible, Joseph Stalin said, “When Ivan the Terrible had someone executed, he would spend a long time in repentance and prayer. God was a hindrance to him in this respect. He should have been more decisive.”
None of the “He could not tell a lie” mythology surrounding George Washington or folksy quotes like President Gerald Ford’s “Tell the truth, work hard, and come to dinner on time” for Joseph Stalin. No, his problem with Ivan the Terrible was that he just wasn’t quite terrible enough. And if Stalin’s cruelty didn’t have all the baroque torturing of his predecessors, he certainly killed more of his own countrymen than probably any Russian leader. Impossible to know the exact number of Russians killed by Stalin (through direct executions, starvation, or gulags), but scholars agree it was in the millions.
Stalin was particularly hard on Ukraine. Between 1932 and 1933, close to 4 million Ukrainians died from a terrible famine called the Holdomor, meaning death by famine in Russian. With its rich black earth, seasons of summer wheat and winter wheat, Ukraine never should have seen mass starvation.
There is still debate among scholars as to whether the famine was caused by Stalin’s sheer ineptitude managing the agricultural economy or intentionally done out of his hatred of Ukrainians. Regardless, Stalin, like Putin, couldn’t stand the idea of an independent Ukraine and did his utmost to kill any movement toward independence from the Soviet Union. Whether through summary executions, imprisonment, or torture, he brutalized hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian writers, politicians, priests, and intellectuals if they ever strayed whatsoever from the Soviet agitprop.
Putin has quietly revived Stalin in Russia and compared him to Oliver Cromwell, the English general who lead the charge in not one but two civil wars. That he chose Cromwell, one of the most brutal generals in England’s history, for a favorable comparison is telling.

What is important is that Trump paid no income taxes in 20 years. There is no proof he has ever paid. None whatsoever. But Trump could, with a phone call to his accountants, make that proof available in the form of a pdf file for each year. But Trump would say some anti-truth that it is thousands of pages of paper to be distributed to millions of people and the cost would be prohibitive. Therefore he can't and that is beside the "fact" that the IRS is "auditing" him. Until the "audit" is "completed", Trump would say that revealing his tax returns is not just a bad idea but it cannot "legally" be done.

I wouldn't care a fig about Russia if they'd just stop invading other countries and fcking with the world economy. And it's not "Russia." This is all on your bff, Putin. One. Fcking. Guy.

It can also do those things and be obscenely over-funded.
Ask me how I know.

Not touching that one, huh?
Good idea.
