LOL! Navin Gruesom
The Green New Deal, which emanated from the brilliant minds of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her pals, envisions a new America, one completely free of fossil fuels and nuclear power. It will run, instead, on solar, wind, and water power.
Democrats dont care that green energy is too unreliable to run America or that these natural energy alternatives are damaging to the environment (e.g., dead birds, hideous wind and solar farms, and dams and water re-routing). Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are on board with the Green New Deal. As the campaign progresses, one has to wonder how theyre going to explain away the fact that solar power has been the cause of massive energy failures across large swaths of California.
Both Biden and Harris said yes to the Green New Deal. If they win ( God forbid ), what you see in California will be happening all over the country.
They didn't. Instead they decommissioned the most miles ever of high tension power lines (the super-highways of power distribution.) NIMBY activists want to keep power stations out of urban areas where power is most consumed, yet also object to the wide swaths high tension lines cut through forests.
It's kinda nice to have a scapegoat in the green machine of bird cuisinarts and solar panels that become less and less effective the moment you install them, but those are a drip in the bucket compared to the massive power plants that actually power California...if they can get the electricity there.
Enjoy CA! This is what you voted for. No recall petition? Guess they are loving it.
I recommend Flintstone re-runs to help Californians cope.
Thats the beauty of natural gas - can be found in many places, is quite cheap, is the most energy-dense source there is (except nuclear) is easily transported, has very low emissions, and has a tiny footprint.
So of course leftists hate it.
They should be happy. What could be more green than blackouts?
We failed to predict and plan these shortages, Newsom admitted boldly
He should have just stopped at “We failed”
Blackouts?
Thats racist!
AOC LOL! Lipstick on a PSYCHOPATH. Look at her FACE. Listen to her WORDS. Examine her DEEDS.
She has the trifecta, that HORSETEETH POS. Back to your crapfilled stall. What time is the race?
November...READY - AIM - VOTE
Go back fifty years ago and you will see the anti-nuke-anti-coal “Greenies” coming up with all sorts of hare-brained ideas on how to produce “clean” energy.
One magazine in the 1970s, ponied up with $10,000 dollars of their own money to build a “perpetual motion machine”. It didn’t work.
I remember reading in Power Engineering magazine the plans for a geo-thermal plant in New Mexico. They bought the generator, all necessary equipment, and drilled the hole.
They did not get enough steam from the ground to make it work and a year later I saw all that equipment for sale in the same magazine.
As President Trump has stated so many times in deriding The Green New Deal; what happens when there’s no wind? What happens when the skies are overcast for days and during the night? Where will your electricity come from?
Commonsense and reality have just come home to the idiots in California.
The ex-home state I had the sense to leave more than 12 years ago. I saw where they were heading and got out. We quit our jobs, sold our home. Packed up the kids and got out. Made Tampa Bay our new home.
You cant even run the wind farms during high wind. Useless absolutely useless
The answer is simply. Build more dams. Then you can get power and have more water. Both of which CA needs.
RE: Build more dams.
Just make sure it withstands the next big earthquake.
The democrats have blocked any new power plants, closed existing ones, The corrupt gov Newsom wants to tear down 4 dams so less water storage. Raise the price of electricity to pay for the fat gov’t pensions.
Gruesom, Navin R....sounds like a typical bastard. Die, Navin R. Gruesom! Bastard! Random son of a bitch, typical run-of-the-mill bastard!
The PowerLoop proposal by Keith Lofstrom MSEE in theory allows storage of a great amount of intermittent energy, and would provide a needed buffer capacity with low losses. His concept is open-source as he wishes someone to implement the system without IP hindrance.
