    My point is you are overstating wind by 2.5x.

    Wind, in total, is 37% of 'British' renewable energy (in 2009). The rest is Hydro, biomass and biogas. British solar?..They have sun in England? When?

    About 3.

    Easy statistical lies to fuck with these numbers, (include/don't include) Scotland. England is flat, English drunks in squirrel wheels have much more generation potential than English hydro. The generation potential of Scottish drunks is virtually unlimited.

    Which flavor of socialist? Many hate each other. What makes you the judge? A Maoist would say: 'you aren't'.

    All socialists are _not_ Marxists.

    Better idea: Ask folks that lived under socialism what they think about socialism. Yeah, yeah, 'no true scotsman'. Sell it somewhere else. Marxism is broken, the police state is inevitable, built right in.

    Complete historical ignorance.

    The solution, to the extent one is needed, is to cede pure residential land back from DC to Maryland (IIRC, whichever state DC was carved out of in the first place). But leave the federal government living in it's zone. This solution is also better as it just kills the corrupt abomination known as DC city government, puts DC schools and local services into competent hands.

    It's a partisan power grab.

    Quick and easy. Just expropriate the FAA regs, global replace 'aircraft' to 'vehicle'. Delete the silly stuff. That's an alpha.

    Give the auto industry five years to get the ECUs up to snuff. Then they can get _started_ on self driving cars.

    Trump is the odd guy out. The DNC and RNC have enough to send each other to prison, at any time. They are just trying to add Trump to the MAD circle.

    Nothing will come of it. Because the libs wet dream is: 'As much dirt on Trump as on Clinton.' Even if they get that, they are just back to where politics started.

    No. They both suck, as far a capacity factors go.

    There are some onshore locations with better wind then some offshore locations. You general point isn't true.

    All your link proves is he preferred drinking to voting...Can't blame him for that.

    Of the ones he bothered showing up for (on the first page), all but 2 are handouts. One of those was a pure partisan power grab (DC 'voting'). The other was removing immunity from telcos for aiding the NSA, which was pure 'ass cover'.

    Sure they aren't overtly 'marxist', but 'socialist' has a broader definition.

    Offshore is much more expensive. Why deploy offshore when you still have untapped onshore?

    In Europe, they live sitting in each others laps, so no room, offshore it is.

    Ship has sailed, when they let the economists make up their own 'nobel' prize, it was over.

    Soon: Nobel prizes for sociology, astrology, palm reading, scientology auditing and women's studies. They all need credibility as much as economics did/does.
