I don’t have many years of fight left in me

I’m already looking like I got too close to that radioactive meteor

[x]

It doesn't have anything to do with using humans as batteries, does it?

[oldasrocks]

Nuke china and stop 93% of the pollution.

[Army Air Corps]

The Left loves coercion.

The World will look like Gilligan’s Island.

If we can make radios and computers out of coconuts, that might not be such a bad thing ...

[goodnesswins]

Solar panels powering coffee maker, etc....hahahaha...NOT here in the Northwest, you idgits. I hate these control freaks and their stupidity.

[Army Air Corps]

They use the wind-powered weather control machines to keep the weather perpetually sunny, DUH!

From the article:

Huge electrical transmission lines share electricity between North and South America.

Through the Darién Gap? Really?

[Ouchthatonehurt]

Agree.
After some FReeper post a while back on Molten Salt Reactors - I think they show promise…

All the assets and money in the world wouldn’t be able to pay for it.

[EdnaMode]

Haha. Sounds about right.

[Drango]

NPR holds itself out as a fair and neutral journalist organization. However, this is just naked, liberal propaganda and advocacy.

[Kickass Conservative]

2050 here or in China?

[sparklite2]

I found them in Silicon Valley.

Meanwhile in Seattle, Silicon Valley of the north Pacific, Garth Wunsch waits eagerly for solar power to light up the night lite in his infant daughter’s chilly bedroom. The Dot.Solar revolution was hampered in the Pacific Northwest by the fact that the sun only comes out during the third week in August.

Garth is home from work because he gets the day off to celebrate Sun-break Week. Peering out the window, he is pleased to see how clearly Mount Rainier rises from the forest since the use of candles was outlawed, eliminating melting wax pollution.

“If we could just get the rest of the world to stop polluting,” Garth mused. It might make up for the setback when Mount St. Helens erupted, dumping millions of tons of CO2 into the air, delaying even further the coming Ice Age.

2050! Wait a minute. I thought the world was going to end in twelve years!

[EdnaMode]

LOL. Good point. Guess we can’t trust them on anything.

[oldtech]

Let’s try this....put all the known large liberal population centers such as NYC, Chicago, LA,etc. on 100 % wind & solar for about 10 yrs. & then they can report on how it worked out...until we screw up the entire country that depends on known reliable sources of energy.

[plain talk]

"What has happened to the sprawling suburbs?" I ask. "Are people living there? How are they getting around?"

"Some of the large homes haven't changed at all," Keesmaat says. They've just been turned into multifamily units."

Other free-standing houses that once lined suburban cul-de-sacs have disappeared; each one has been replaced with a building that contains five or six homes.
