    actually ONLY a tidbit.... you have so far only pointed to CA, and ignored the massive expansion of jobs across the country. DOE Report Finds Clean Energy Jobs Grew in Every State In 2022 | Department of Energy Texas is the largest wind generating state in the country, so even deep red republican trump-supporting anti-woke, patriotic Tax-azz is going green - Wind Power: Energy is Good for Texas. Florida has doubled solar power in just 2-3 years and is expanding like mad. So yeah.... tidbits.

    well at least you admit that under the Democrats and Biden, gas and oil expansion is not under ANY threat and is in fact, expanding. And so are renewable energy projects across the country. You managed to find a tidbit to claim a 'disaster'.

    Charlie Sykes Is Unsure About the Future of the G.O.P. - The New York Times (nytimes.com) - Sykes is now one of my favorite listens on his podcast. On Charlottesville from 2017 interview: I’m assuming you’re not surprised by Trump’s inability to condemn the white-supremacist march. I’m shocked but not surprised. Denouncing Nazis is the easiest thing in the world: All it requires is a modicum of historical perspective and a working moral compass. Instead, we got this Dumpster fire.

    Big Oil Increased Layoffs In 2021 (bailoutwatch.org) - plus oil laid off some 100,000 workers during the pandemic. Only a small percentage has been rehired. Chairman Press | Chairman's Newsroom | Chairman | U.S. Senate Committee On The Budget - big oil still receives tens of billions every year in subsidies. Sounds like they are a total failure by your standard.

Too bad we might have to see such a level of harm in order to wake up to the fact that their ideology is so fucked up…..

    at the very least, Republicans in FL are moving to remove him as the Party Chair, and I am pretty sure her time on the school board is finished. Moms for Liberty co-founder asked to resign by Florida school board (usatoday.com) good for them I guess? Part of me does not care what people do in the bedroom (except for the apparent rape part), but at the same time, the party of family values, morals and everything that is 'just and good cult' needs a little level setting once in a while.

    calling it like I see it. I doubt if the parties were reversed in this that there would be any fewer 'assumptions'. I mean, just because Hunter Biden did cocaine and paid for hookers, obviously Joe took money from China and is a pedophile..... Like I said, you cannot make this shit up if you tried.
  8. tkhayes
    yes of course you do.... because I made up a fantasy that cannot possibly be true. And you have a propensity to believe in fantasies anyway,

    maybe this is an angle that the pro-choice folks could pile on to. They could file frivolous lawsuits against Ford, GM, Dodge, the banks for the ATM issues, any hotel chains, airlines, the restaurant industry and grocery stores.... Nothing like some corporate pressure to change the laws if any of these industries saw a threat or expense under the current law.

    and the Moms for Liberty Anti-LGBTQ+ lady is apparently, at the very least, LGB....
  11. tkhayes
    and no pro-life people commenting on this thread, because the stance is indefensible in any way shape or form. But ultra-conservatives never cared about that.
  12. tkhayes
    now you are a victim? I mean seriously?
  13. tkhayes
    they provided a direct link to federal funding for gas stations.... are you going to acknowledge that you are incorrect in your claims? No, i would expect not.... go ahead and pretzel yourself again in trying to wiggle out of being 100% wrong

    yeah, engineers and developers of the technology required to take a rocket and men to the moon were built by thousands of people and USED by those same engineers during the actual tests and missions over years.... and in the middle of the night, someone snuck into NASA and replaced all those custom built systems with simulation versions to fake a moon mission, guidance, landing, and literally hundreds of other systems needed, life support, navigation, electrical, all sensors, computers, guidance, And they did it SO WELL, that the actual people that built those systems were fooled by these replacement systems that faked everything. no one noticed ANYTHING. got it.

    Well at least Liz Cheney is on the interview rampage selling her new book and sounding the alarms. She might be drummed out of the party, but I think she would have a following if she ran for President She keeps saying her purpose in life today is to stop Trump from getting in office. If she ran and had enough money in enough states, she could maybe derail the trump campaign by drawing votes away Liz Cheney running for president might not be a bad thing. She only says she has not ruled it out. Probably a long shot But absolutely, the republicans (MAGA) are telling us EXACTLY what they are going to do if trump gets back in office. I do not believe it is possible from trump to win. Taking $500 bets that trump is either not on the 2024 ballot or if he is, he loses. I give 'normal America' more credit than the idea that he could win anything more than 30-33% of the popular vote.

    3-5 years seems to be the norm for large scale tax evasion at a federal level, plus of course, the repayments and penalties etc. I think entirely possible that a plea agreement gets reached. financials, plus some 3-12 month jail time, or even probation that is dependent on the repayment. Sounds like he is in shit because his lawyers managed to fuck up a plea deal completely. Apparently there are a lot of shitty 'sons' out there. Some republican Senator's son killed a deputy in a car accident related to high speed chase/evasion and running from the cops just the other day I wonder when the Republicans will form a committee to impeach the senator for his son's actions?
  17. tkhayes
    no he won't. Unless he does something that puts him in contempt of congress. Just like... 'will I be arrested for bank robbery?' Probably not until I actually rob a bank.... question answered. move on

    And what happens when we run out of our own fuels? You call that strategy? You seem to have a problem with capitalism...... and supply chains, or perhaps saving for the future..... Which is smarter and/or more strategic? Burning some other countries oil and fuel at a lower price than we can produce it? Or using up our own supply at a higher cost and then having nothing available to us in say 100 years? I mean do right wing anti-renewable types ever actually THINK about what strategy means? Answer that. Did it EVER occur to you that maybe part of the strategy IS IN FACT, lower costs and a future supply? No of course it didn't ever occur to you. not even once.

    United States: motor vehicles in use 1900-1988 | Statista Oh look! It took DECADES for gasoline automobiles to become popular in the USA and catch on.... But I guess from 1905 to 1945 there wasn't any investment in the development of vehicles, and certainly ZERO investment by the government from say, 1935 to 1945 WWII, in the development of the internal combustion engine. I mean probably ZERO done by the government.... right? thanks for making my points and contradicting your own.
  20. tkhayes
    and those many decades will be well served by the research, development and production now.... which you summarily ignored as a part of anything that happens int he future. products seldom come out of a 'poof of fucking genius' that happens overnight and strategy is NOT defined like that in any way. How is the energy supply of the USA secured into the future if the economy rolls 80-95% on fossil fuels?

    I work in the power generation industry. It is also 'variable'. Just ask Texas..... or did you forget the complete collapse of their grid? STRATEGY is a combined mixture of gas, oil, hydro, wind, solar, thermal etc remove that variability. We poured a lot of billions of dollar into NASA in the 60's and 70's. You probably would not have that portable battery drill at Home Depot for $29 if we hadn't, so 'just ask NASA' about that. we poured a lot of money into the interstate system too, and created an economy rivaled by none directly because of it. 'better ask the USA' about that Those of you that say it cannot be done are just in the way of those that are already doing it.

    "I would agree that sometime in the future EVs may be perfectly feasible,..." No you DO NOT agree, you called it 'green energy nonsense'.... and one of the common ways for something to become 'feasible in the future', is the ONGOING development and research and production done today. You do know that we can hear you right? But thanks for directly contradicting yourself in your own thread with the 'nonsense' swimming around in your noggin.
  23. tkhayes
    'green energy nonsense'... yeah that's why power gen companies all over the world are investing in solar.... Florida Power & Light, a for-profit utility now gets some 10-11% of their power from solar, and is rapidly expanding it. Because it is 'green energy nonsense'. you do know that we can hear you right?

    Not sure what you are complaining about....? "Congress at the urging of the Biden administration agreed in 2021 to spend $7.5 billion to build tens of thousands of electric vehicle chargers across the country, aiming to appease anxious drivers while tackling climate change. Two years later, the program has yet to install a single charger." 50% of cars sales are expected to be EV by 2030... so there is plenty of time for the infrastructure to match the demand. and the money was not nor ever intended to be spent all at once or in any given period of time. even red republican Florida is on board: fdotevmp.pdf (windows.net)

    Comer on NBC interview today... stumbling and bumbling when asked for specifics..... Could not get past the 'allegations and bank accounts' narrative and show a specific piece of evidence that proved anything, basically told the host that the loan repayments were influence pedaling, "Well what else could it be?" and "We don't see any evidence of a check for a loan in the first place" Perhaps is unfamiliar with how the thingy works.... it's not up to anyone to prove that he is innocent, if you are going to claim influence pedaling and fake loan payments, then go ahead and prove that.... a check from his brother marked loan repayment is nothing but a 'check from his brother marked loan repayment'. So once again.... yawn.... still waiting for ANYTHING.... so they decided to have a 'formal vote' on the impeachment inquiry', which gets the dumber MAGIdiot folks in society all frothing, when it is not actually an impeachment.
