Actor and self-proclaimed “environmental justice” advocate Mark Ruffalo called on President Joe Biden Tuesday to accept the war in Ukraine as “a gift” for making steps toward clean energy production.
Ruffalo promised that he and his clean energy campaign, The Solutions Project, “are going to push him” toward clean energy independence. [bold, links added]
“This is a moment for President Biden to take this — our momentum, people’s fear, their disgust at the war, their disgust with energy prices — and use that to solidify a message to the American people that now is the time to transition, this is where the jobs are, this is where the national security is, and we are going to push him to do it,” Ruffalo said.
“And this is a gift to the president, as we see it. And we see him accepting it in such terms.”
The actor went on to call nuclear energy “very expensive” and “very dangerous.”
“It’s time to unite for #CleanEnergyFreedom,” Ruffalo tweeted on Earth Day last week. “[President Biden] can strengthen national security, lower energy prices, create jobs & avert climate disaster through clean energy independence.”
Ruffalo founded The Solutions Project in 2012. The actor also produced a documentary on a nonprofit law clinic dedicated to lake and river rights that was recently accused of perpetrating a transphobic work culture.

Quote: “It’s time to unite for #CleanEnergyFreedom,” Ruffalo tweeted on Earth Day last week. “[President Biden] can strengthen national security, lower energy prices, create jobs & avert climate disaster through clean energy independence.” Spoken by an individual who has no obvious knowledge of energy imperatives, market realities or environmental constraints. Rather than giving credence to a mediocre movie actor in a role he is not remotely QUALIFIED to play, I have a more constructive idea. Why not start promoting ACTUAL science and listening to qualified scientists & engineers? Sort of like…”I don’t know anything about energy, but I spent last night in a Holiday Inn Express!”
Just more excuses to force America back under the Paris Accord based upon Politics and Junk Science and fake lie a day M.S. Media
Putting any sort of positive spin on the Ukrainian war is a travesty. The Ukrainian nation and people are suffering greatly as a result of the imperialistic invasion by Russia. The Russian soldiers are also suffering most of whom are just as innocent as the Ukrainians.
Calling nuclear energy “very expensive” and “very dangerous” is an admission of complete ignorance. Nuclear is more expensive than fossil fuels, but about half the cost of renewables. Nuclear is actually the safest energy available. The media hype makes the accidents that have happened seem worse than they were. With any construction, be it wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, fossil fuel power plants, or nuclear plants, there are going to be some fatal accidents. With nuclear power, there is so much energy produced that the number of deaths per unit of energy is lower than any other form of power.
Ruffalo referred to the Ukrainian war as an opportunity to move to energy independence and mentioned people’s disgust with high energy prices. Due to Biden’s action on climate change, energy prices have sky rocketed and we have moved from being an energy exporter under President Trump to and energy importer.
The insanity of liberals. A laugh a minute.
