Stop watching Fox lol that's the true mainstream "news" ironically. Available free on cable packages almost exclusively over most other news outlets (who have paywalls because real information requires actual labor, not just talking points and ensuing rants).
I guess my scientist friend who works at Northwestern and my scientist cousin currently in Finland to study industrial climate's effects on the local geology are both retarded 🙄
Always the come back - FOX news in the culprit, which I do not watch, but you never address what they are saying. I personally read, there is a lot of information available if you don't let Google decide what you see. You really have not disputed one thing anyone has said and challenged you with. You come back to Trump is an idiot and you voted for him twice so you must love the current administration - flip flop much?
Have a younger brother who just retired from managing a public power district in Nebraska. He has been to nuclear power plants many times. They are the best way to go, we can agree on that. Respond to each of these comments with real information, not just the radical left gossip.
1. An Evergy engineer stated that wind turbines are approximately 37% efficient. There is no storage, they run on electricity they have to produce, they are filled with oil, and are a environmental hazard and they only produce electricity when the wind blows hard enough. The blades have to be replaced and are buried in Wyoming although some are now being burned (go figure). They harm animals and are causing their own surface temperature changes. They only exist because of tax subsidies because they are not sustainable on their own merits.
2. The current admin's National Energy person was on Capital Hill for hearings and was questioned why there was almost ZERO money for nuclear power. Coal is one of the least efficient methods to produce power but what we have in abundance. The US is the Saudi Arabia of coal. What is your beloved administration not stumping for more nuclear? You need to come to grips with the fact that energy is the key to control of our country and the best way to manipulate behavior.
3. You must not believe in free markets. Consumers are not buying the Hybrid cars for a reason. A doctor friend had a Prius and he said it was nothing but trouble. Tout all the mileage numbers you want, it is cost to own that is prohibitive.
4. The entire "climate change" is a farce designed to control money and people. Cows and methane gas to a study about which nationality of women produce the most harmful gas to the planet. Remember the Paris accord? The leader of that said point blank, this was never about the climate but about helping under develop countries, in other words, move money around. Al Gore has made prediction after prediction that have never come to fruition, polar bears are thriving and we still have plenty of ice. For every map that shows where the heat waves are each summer, there is another less shown that shows areas where they are cooler than normal. Its called weather, it changes, always has but you don't want to admit that.
5. We talk a good line about energy in our country and then go out and buy every piece of electronics available, fly in jets all the time, promote eating buys because real crops and animals harm the environment. Yet, the elite don't care and lavish themselves with everything available to make their wonderful lives even more wonderful. Good for me but not thee.
6. This talk about the grid going down is a scare tactic. Again, speaking with those in the field, the grid can be taken down at any time with a rifle and it has been done already. People try to hack energy systems all the time, it is a hobby for some people who hack schools and businesses as well. The constant scare of the grid will go down, the grid will go down is real but meant as a way to manipulate people, not stave them.
We have come a long ways and needed to in taking care of our planet. I remember the smog of LA and spent a lot of time in Denver when it was so bad, I couldn't wait to get out of there and relieve my headache. Water is much better as well and we need to take care of things the good Lord has given us. But please don't give me the crap of no gas stoves, no fireplaces, no cows, erase farming as we know it only to mine non renewable minerals for batteries that do not last and themselves contribute to our pollution and mining issues with slave labor. You remind me of a teacher at a local high school where my wife was working a couple years ago. He was a far leftist and running for some office and he walked into a room where my wife and another lady were talking about wind mills. My wife told the lady and she looked it up on the internet about how they are dealing with the disposal of wind turbine blades by burying them. He spewed out, "that's not true" and they proceeded to show him the evidence. It appears to me, you and others like you are creating your own narrative of truth and that is where you want to live as it makes you feel like you are doing your part and a step above the heathens of this world.
I hope your kids are totally happy in space where there is no air, no sustainable environment and right now no way to get there. You will just pollute space by inhabiting it and getting to your next destination all the time wanting the tax payer to fund it for you. Thanks but no thanks
