Of course you wouldn't. Because those gangsters and thugs are more likely to have a crucifix or virgin mary tattooed on them than understand the scientific method./ecode.
I don't assume that every college student wearing a Che Guevara shirt is an expert on Marxism.
YOU are wrong. I was incorrect in thinking that solar subsidies were higher than for coal, but even if you add coal and natural gas/LP subsidies together they're less than for wind alone.
The harm is that when you get in the habit of accepting ideas without question, you are more easily manipulated. e.g. If some guy tells you that a zygote is the same thing as a child, and you don't use your brain to figure out that that is bullshit, you might make it your political mission to ban abortion. That harms me, and it harms society in general.
At least it doesn't harm what would likely be a fully formed human being in a few months. I'll assume that your use of the word "zygote" was just a straw man, and you feel the same about "embryo" or "fetus".
Without religion, if you want to do good you'll figure out how and do it. With religion, you just ask your priest, and do what he says, whether it's good or not.
That's a straw man, too. What others call "the golden rule" exists in the Bible... clearly, we are supposed to serve others when there is ever any doubt.
Well, there goes the credibility. Never was there such a conceited buffoon with such thin credentials. There's a reason he used to be relegated to teaching science to kids; but some idiot had to give him a soapbox.
It has the one big, fat disadvantage of being unconstitutional and taking rights away from the states to give it to the federal government. It's another system to abuse-- states that go along with the administration get more money, those who oppose it get less.
The article doesn't mention that while nuclear has huge subsidies, so do the other methods of producing energy-- ALL OF THEM. In fact, the biggest subsidies go to-- you guessed it-- the green technologies. Clearly, wind is the closest to being a viable replacement to the others (once we settle on a solid means of handling base-load), but solar is phenomenally expensive even with its huge subsidies.
Sometimes I wonder why people like you even bother. The statists will continue to make unfounded, wild statements of belief and other statists will continue to mod them up. Central government control of any industry is doomed to failure.
To be fair, the sun only puts out so much energy, so once you reach 99.999% efficiency or so the rest is academic. It's about 1W/sq cm, if I recall correctly.
Oh there will be a great discovery/invention in the next 10 years. Unfortunately it will be tied up in patent litigation for the next 50 years after that.
Which is exactly why we have absolutely no SSDs even now. Yup, everyone is being sued and SSDs cost $1,000/MB. No progress ever, because of evil patents that last only 20 years at the most but are somehow caught up in the courts for 50.
These are things that can be figured out in a few minutes of actually reading the bible, but people are more interested in making snarky comments on the internet.
I'm not sure why someone gave this a "Funny" mod. Methuselah dies in chapter 5, God's proclamation is in chapter 6, following the flood. He didn't even have to be "grandfathered" in, if you'll excuse the pun.

The link that was given showed that the cost of solar was sky high compared to the others.

Argumentum ad ignorantiam.
Only the Catholic Church does.
I seem to have been going out of my way to bust your balls lately, Mcgrew, so let me give you imaginary mod points for that one :-)
There's no proof Julius Caesar ruled Rome, either.
Why?

100 cents = 1 dollar.
100 centimeters = 1 meter.
Am I missing something?
And that's pretty much why we don't want a VAT in the USA.

I agree. The sulfur hexafluoride, cadmium, and selenium in solar panels are very nasty.

Ohh... heh not bad.
Ah, another progressive who thinks that if government control has not worked, we need more government control.

Is that the point where she robs the documents... probably via lawyer?

Listen, I got tired of zapping that stuff on my IIsi. I won't have anything more to do with it! Friggin' sad macs.
