How did chicken coops ever function before electricity?

If the feds spend it, you can bet it is wasted.

Why did the solar-powered chicken cross the road?

DANG!

I have two chicken coops. I go in there to feed and water them and to collect the eggs. Electricity not needed.

The ammonia from the chicken flickins is going to be pretty hard on the electronics.

Not one word about the energy required to produce a bank of batteries capable of storing one megawatt of power or the inverters it will take to turn it into AC...oh NO! You don’t suppose they will rewire the base to use DC, do you?

Thank you for referencing that article Tolerance Sucks Rocks. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

This is another 17th Amendment-related issue. More about 17th Amendment shortly.

As mentioned in related threads, previous generations of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate agricultural production.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

State sovereignty-respecting justices had also clarified that Congress cannot appropriate taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, agricultural production an example.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

Getting back to the 17th Amendment, the reason that the feds are providing vote-winning funds for solar panels for agricultural purposes is this. The corrupt Senate failed to protect the states, as the Founding States had intended for the Senate to do, by killing House appropriations bills which not only steal unique, 10th Amendment-protected power of the people, farmers managing their own farms in this case, but also steals farm income in the form of unconstitutional federal taxes to pay for the solar panels for farms in this example.

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt, Constitution-ignoring senators along with it.

Obama needs to study the “life cycle of chicken feed”. Its final form is detrimental to both the illumination on solar panels, and the electronics in them.

Is this for heating or cooling the coops? All I see is a way to drive up the price of eggs and chicken.

As a former and future Chicken Farmer, it’s true! Chickens, throughout the ages, have NOT been able to survive without electricity!

*SMIRK*

You know, with the the amount of roof space on a huge chicken barn, this kind of does make sense,. However, funding this ‘alternative energy boondoggle’ with tax dollars, as always, DOES NOT!
