  1. I hadn't heard of that Black Rock thing, but if he wants to forgo billions in petrodollars that is between him and his shareholders. As far as Tesla, I am fine with them now that they are no longer on the government teat. I'm sure you have noticed how their sales have tanked so far this year. https://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-tesla-sales-plung-20190201-story.html And it is not just in the US, sales plunged in Europe. Tesla only sold 367 units in Germany YTD.
  2. https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/26/green-new-deal-household-cost/ It looks like the GND will exist only in the imaginations of its supporters. It could never survive even one election cycle.
  3. I do heat my house with a furnace that burns rocks we dug out of the ground. Those rocks power my refrigerator as well.
  4. You failed to mention just how expensive all of that “free” energy can be. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/05/06/the-reason-renewables-cant-power-modern-civilization-is-because-they-were-never-meant-to/#63ab38bea2b9
  5. Sooooo..... using fossil fuels is like smoking, eating Big Macs, hammer vasectomies and now it is like slavery? You need to get some help.
  6. Fracking gives us energy independence, reduces CO2 footprint, creates jobs, is cleaner than coal, etc etc
  7. Because if he gets the nomination, Trump will get four more years. IOW exactly as much damage as a Trump.
  8. We should all be very happy that there is a great difference between a real man and a real woman. In no way am I denigrating women. My wife is a successful executive and my eleven year old daughter has been in MMA since she was five and is now training for her black belt in youth MMA. I am an unabashed feminist. That said, viva la difference!
  9. In previous posts Bill claimed that the fire that destroyed Paradise California was due to climate change. (you know, warmer, drier conditions making things ripe for a fire) I pointed out that the area was in a ZERO drought condition and the temperatures were in the mid 70s and that the area had one of the wettest springs on record. He quickly pivoted and said it was the wet conditions in the spring that led to lots of growth that provided the fuel for the fire. See, either way it is climate change. BTW Airdvr asked an important question. Are these floodroughts a recent phenomenon?
  10. No I am talking about the same area of the world. Low water level in the Great Lakes? Climate change! High water level in the Great Lakes? Climate change! Dry summer in the Mid-West? Climate change! Wet summer? Climate Change. No snow in the Rockies? Climate change! Lots of snow in the Rockies? Climate change! It is the "heads I win, tails you loose" school of prediction.
  11. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-01-02/california-snowpack-measurement-2020-boosted-recent-storms https://www.denverpost.com/2020/02/15/colorado-snowpack-winter-2020/ "well above average"
  12. Its even worse that we thought https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?feature=7598
  13. Talk about not reading the whole article...…. The bottom line was "This is a weather event," she says of the recent warm spell."
  14. No GND = winning No more subsidies for Telsa = winning
  15. Actually the Russian are helping Bernie. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/bernie-sanders-briefed-by-us-officials-that-russia-is-trying-to-help-his-presidential-campaign/2020/02/21/5ad396a6-54bd-11ea-929a-64efa7482a77_story.html
  16. That is because I don't espouse ridiculous positions
  17. Do you realize how ridiculous you sound when you say floods and droughts in the same sentence? Just like when you guys say that global warming will cause less snow while simultaneously cause more snow. BTW my viewpoint has, and will continue to prevail.
  18. Hi Jerry, (I like how you do that so I am copying you) It looks like it is Bernie right now. It is said that the Rs fall in line while the Ds fall in love. Right now the B-man is getting all of the love. (James Carville notwithstanding)
  19. Bernie is killing it in NV. As of now it looks like the B-man will be your nominee. With Klobuchar staying in, at least through SC, and no evidence that mayor Pete, Steyer, Bloomberg, Warren and Biden are getting out, the non-insane vote will be divvied up and you will suffer the same fate the Republicans did in 2016. We will, yet again, have a choice between two totally unacceptable candidates.
  20. OK how about a dead person walking? That said there is no way the Ds would ever have two women on the same ticket. If a women was at the top of the ticket it would be mayor Pete as VP. You know, the intersectional Olympics.
