We will be fossil fuel free by 2050 no matter what governments do. Fusion will only factor in if it can be produced more cheaply than solar, which we can expect to drop by at least 50% more or possibly as much as 90% more.

High voltage DC lines can carry power wherever it is needed, from sunny to cloudy / sunless regions, with only 3% loss per 1,000 km. China is building such a line to South America to take advantage of solar power during their night time. A 6,000km line will still deliver 83% of the original energy to the…

“When you include storage, they are already cheaper than more expense energy sources,...”

Fauci is the father of this bio weapon. We haven’t fond “the animal,” meaning it did not come from nature. China has not coughed up scapegoats to save face, so it wasn’t an accidental release. That leaves an intentional release, but who?

Someone who follows the science.

Not until Covid. They changed the legal definition of vaccine to side step the laws meant to protect us, from “provides immunity” to “provides protection.” By that definition, vitamins C, D, K, and Zinc are now all “vaccines” - and none of them have lethal side effects.

Someone who believes the science.

Re Masks - false. There is no evidence they work. None. If they did, NY and NJ would be in the green and Floridians would all be dead.

Absolutely correct. Expect an unending stream of hateful invective for posting that.

Couldn’t make it past the first paragraph consisting completely of lies. The vaccine IS dangerous. Not moreso than the disease (which itself is not particularly so), but enough so that people should be allowed to make their own decisions based on their doctor’s advice and personal risk factors. Masks and lockdowns DON’…

So-called “environmentalists” are their own worst enemies. Germany obliterated their clean nuclear plants and installed lots of solar - now they import terrawatts of power from coal-fired neighboring countries. California got rid of all its “dirty” power plants, and now imports much of its energy from even dirtier…

This all comes down to trust in our public officials - which is rapidly vanishing. The question isn’t really, “does it work?” That answer is literally unknowable, because bureaucrats keep telling everyone we can’t even try it. The studies performed were almost perfectly designed to fail or produce “statistically…

There is dodgy science on both sides. There are countries in the world where virtually everyone takes Ivermectin as part of daily living. By and large, the rate of hospitalization and death from Covid in those countries is a small fraction of rates in Western nations where, for whatever reasons, health bureaucrats…

4-rotor helicopter.  Not a new idea.

I’m sure.  They shouldn’t.

As I understand how things unfolded, it wasn’t really a problem with the Texas grid so much as a problem with utilities failing to take simple measures to keep running when it got cold. I’ve been at a loss to understand anyone calling it a “grid” problem.

“Georgia flipped our Senate seats,”

It will be quite interesting to see if new election integrity protections suddenly show a vastly different outcome this year.
