Hydro electricity from dams is usually lumped in as "renewable" but is a cheap and reliable conventional source of power, unlike expensive and unreliable wind and wolar.

Even leftwing filmmaker Michael Moore gets it on the huge problems with wind and solar and biomass energy. He is certainly no conservative, but he has put out a documentary entitled "Planet of the Humans" that explains why wind, solar, and biomass are bad for the environment and bad for electric ratepayers. I know you would not even consider listening to scientists on why the global warming theory makes no sense, but will you watch a film from the top leftwing filmmaker in America on why wind, solar, and biomass are bad for us?

One other "renewable" source of energy besides hydro that is reliable and cheap is geothermal, which countries like Kenya and St. Kitts and Nevis are now developing.

And yet Big Bob, as an ardent Leftist, you support the most corrupt politicians and protected bureaucrats in this Constitutional Republic's history.

Big Bob: Now aren't you a fine study in the grandeur of hyperbolic hypocrisy?

This isn't about ideology, the system should not allow any due to be on the take.

Wind and solar are in a class by themselves on federal subsidies, a massive amount of money. There is no way they could stand on their own two feet competing with more efficient means of energy production. What the left calls "subsidies" for other power sources are mainly just normal tax code provisions that apply to expenses of all businesses. With wind and solar, however, it is massive direct payments to the grifters who build it. Indeed, those grifters often build a solar or wind facility, pocket the subsidies, and then sell the solar or wind facility for peanuts because they have gotten their profit from the government subsidy.

Only one making money off "green energy" is China by selling all the panels, minerals and other things needed to go "green". In the mean time those countries relying on "green energy" are stripping the money from their citizens pockets to make China more money.

Wish all Republicans would unite, you know, work together for once...Schiff should have been ousted...reading his own version of Trump's phone call to Ukraine so he could have some facetime in the mass mess media...Thanks to a real transcript from the WH, he had the proverbial egg on the face, but he should have had to retract and at least apologize for his lie, accepting responsibility for his horrible and so transparent attempt to mis-dis-lie, lie, lie all the time !!! Should have been done right in the same chamber where he attempted to pass off his own drivel AND have to read the ACTUAL true Transcript to repair his damage to the Nation's People, AND right on C-SPAN, so it will be on record !!! Think any Dem would have asked him to repair damages he proffered to the country as he lied, (again) to us all, do you ??? EH ???

The standard for judges is that if a case comes before them where they have a conflict of interest, they are supposed to recuse themselves. They may do so on their own motion, or upon motion of a party. In all of their poorly aimed and politically motivated potshots at Thomas and Alite, they have failed to identify a single case whether either had a conflict of interest and failed to recuse themselves.

On the other hand, there are a number of state and federal judges who are flaming liberals on the state and federal bench who have ruled on North Carolina cases that have had a political nature where they had represented one of the parties when they were in private practice. That IS a conflict of interest, and they did not recuse themselves.

Both are smart men, no question. However it has been shown that each have excepted extravagant gifts by rich white conservative men, at least one a documented nazi sympathizer and one with business in front of the court. All of it undeclared. Illegally? Probably. Unethical? No question. Personally I have a side bet going as to when Justice Brown finds a pube in her coffee cup. They all have lifetime appointments, a policy I support but SA and CT have disgraced themselves.

While gender confusion is itself a mental health condition, and for children at least, one that most of them naturally grow out of, every study I have seen shows that those with gender confusion are prone to lots of other mental health issues on top of it.

While the first gender reassignment surgery in the US may have been in 1952, the pioneer surgeon who did the first few was a Nazi war criminal and they were done in Germany in the 1930s. He is a fitting role model for the quacks who do this today.
