“We are on the cusp of a new era”

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Sunday made tackling climate change one of her key goals were she to enter the White House, pledging to have more than half a billion solar panels installed nationwide by the end of her first term in office.

Clinton also called for a major increase in other renewable-energy sources, saying she wants every U.S. home to be powered by clean energy within a decade, reports Reuters.

“I want more wind, more solar, more advanced biofuels, more energy efficiency,” she said at a weekend rally in Iowa. “And I’ve got to tell you, people who argue against this are just not paying attention.”

The two goals were unveiled in a video posted to Clinton’s campaign website Sunday, and are part of a comprehensive agenda on climate change that will be laid out over the next few months.

You know the answer to that:
1. You and I and all other taxpayers will pay through ever greater tax “incentives” for you to do the socially correct thing.
2. Our children will pay for a thoroughly bankrupt nation because there isn’t enough tax money possible to pay for all democrat utopian schemes. The fed will create more money out of thin air.

modern n-reactors have spring loaded elements, and so, if the power completely fails, the rods are withdrawn by the coil spring tension...

Environmentalism and religion pair up in Chicago to launch “creation care”

Screen Shot 2015-07-27 at 9.05.14 AM

CHICAGO - Pope Francis’ call last month to “protect the planet” was heard and is being heeded in Chicago’s Catholic Archdiocese. The Chicago Office for Peace and Justice announced the Archdiocese will now be keeping track of energy usage and their properties’ carbon emission footprint, among other energy awareness projects.

Last Friday, Archbishop Blase J. Cupich and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Gina McCarthy co-authored an op-ed for the Chicago Sun-Times, declaring the urgency of new climate change policies put into effect throughout the Chicago area’s Catholic circles. In the piece, entitled “We have a moral obligation on climate change,” they write:

The Soviets did have safeguards, it’s just that the idiots at Chernobyl disconnected them for a ‘test’........................No one ever thought that would happen...................

This may have happened, but it's absurd.
By definition, "safeguards" cannot be disabled casually by any Tom Dick or Dmitri...

how do they expect someone to shovel the snow from around the panels on the roof?

That's what illegals are for, silly.

A fellow FReeper mentioned the other day that Denmark, in their rush to go wind power, increased both costs and pollution. Pollution from coal fired plants used to handle peak loads and non-wind available loads went up more than 30%.

I’m sure the children will go gaga over this trollop.

Since China is the main supplier of solar panels that ought to secure their vote. Or maybe another donation to the Clinton Crime Family.

Yes, that is exactly what Chernobyl did not have. A 6’ thick steel reinforced concrete containment dome.

According to my former neighbor who worked on the construction of the Seabrook, NH Nuclear plant, the dome was built to withstand a direct hit by a 747.

YOU will do so, comrade. Also, you will spend time in feral city to clean theirs. That is reparations for your white privilege crimes.
