Renewable energy is all the rage. California Gov. Jerry Brown signed a law last week to encourage more of it. The law "encouraged" in the way government encourages everything: Do it or else.
Rather than produce a mere 20 percent of California's energy from renewable sources such as wind and solar by the year 2020, state utilities now are ordered to generate a third of it that way. President Barack Obama trumpets similar lofty-sounding goals for the nation, although he's not having as much success, considering Congress isn't as rabidly left-leaning green as California's Legislature.

“Green and Sustainable” = Expensive and Unreliable
The up side is it benefits the “right” people.

I had a lot of ther stuff open with Firefox though.
That's interesting. Although my operating system is too old for the latest Adobe Flash version, the last or my second of my attempts had no other windows open, about 9 hours ago. It was a Microsoft error message that crashes the window and re-opens a new one on Verizon's news web homepage, which is my normal opening homepage
Is it a new or old denial of service? I couldn't tell you. I'll defer to others.
For reference
Your number 3 point below re liberals being poor in math may be one of the main reason they love deficit spending and green fascism:
A couple of years ago, our grandson couldn’t do his math.
His parents got him into the Kuman program and in weeks, he was back up to speed. In a couple of months he was doing math problems from two grades ahead of his grade.
We find out that he was on his third new math bs. His older sister said that she heard his math teacher the year before crying that she had to teach the new math. She was at a loss and tried to put together the new math lesson each morning before class. She knew that she wasn’t doing it correctly.
We asked our grand daughter how she made A’s in math regardless of the new systems. She said “I’m good in math like my parents and grand parents. So I do the problems the old fashioned way and pretend to do whatever they are trying to teach at this time.
She continues to be a math star, and our grandson has been chosen for the Math Olympics for the past two years.
That grade school for years is supposedly one of the best in California, and it appears to be with the exception of the math bs.
“There are grades of ignorance in science (just as in every subject).
Liberals have the distinction of being at the absolute bottom in science.
As they are in math.
As they are in medicine.
Beginning to see a trend here?
