Yet we have government paying for wind and solar subsidies that can never self-sustain under current technologies. Liquid Thorium Fluoride Reactors could power the entire continent but would remove the subsidies feedback to payoff politicians. Also, thorium is far more common than any sort of carbon-based energy source and is currently considered waste material in most mining applications. Somehow I'd rather promote more industrial engineering efforts toward realistic solutions than continued efforts toward proven failure in wind and solar.
Sheesh SDG&E is government funded in part and I pay them $350 a month; freaking criminal. If you think local municipalities are going to give up their golden egg monopolies called "public utilities", you are nuts.
Because you refuse to have rational discussion without flaming or trolling for emotional feedback? If not, can I learn the fucking mind-reading trick you seem to have acquired?
So giving a junkie (incapable of any reservation or control) free money with no service OR product-based value inclusive is the only acceptable method to solving a problem scientifically? How can you not see the flaming idiocy behind this claim? How can you conclude this based upon ANY historical or contemporary evidence?
Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) - 72,000,000 (WWI deaths) + 12,000,000 (concentration camps and civilians deliberately killed in WWII plus 3 million Russian POWs left to die)
Jozef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39) - round estimate 43,000,000. 6,000,000 were the gulags plus the purges plus Ukraine's famine - 20,000,000 genocide of the Kulak people.
Vladimir Ilich Lenin (USSR, 1917-20) - 1.6 million.
I know you are joking, but I think Karl Marx was probably more right on that than we'd think - and that open source, crowdsourcing, and others are the tip of that.
The problem with his image is that people tried to force it, and changes like that can't be forced, they have to come because society has changed to the point where they are necessary. Trying to force it just means you'll get it wrong, as the structures needed to even understand what you are doing correctly haven't been built yet.
Which means what we'll get is nothing like what tried to imitate it, and probably nothing like what we'd imagine it to be.
Daniel, your problem is you still couch words to hide what the real problem becomes. Instead of "force", you should use "violence" or "become violent", which is what historically happens. Also, don't forget the part where humans are wholesale slaughtered for the "betterment" of society "part".
You seem to be suggesting that there might be an alternative reason for advancing a sensationalist agenda other than saving us from ourselves? Confused.
I think a fair argument could be made for energy inflation through artificial means towering over possible climate evolution. Agriculturally and logistically, America could still easily feed the world. It's the corps, unions, and politicians trying to extract their pounds of flesh from the process that I see causing global price jumps.
The last Democratic candidate to perform any energy efforts, other than stupid solar/wind systems that will never produce the concentration needed for 1920 country requirements, picked the technology that saddled us with unmanageable nuclear waste. Yeah Democrats!
Which does nothing to help the situation in any meaningful manner. The termites in the adjacent back lot are producing enough CO2 to make up for your "efforts". If you really want to achieve anything meaningful stop voting for dumbasses that simply want to maintain their monopoly over energy (state-run energy consortiums) and get some LFTRs installed along with a smartgrid architected in this century.
So, morality on any level is beyond the scope of discussion? Granted, at least you're halfway honest in that you just don't care about human life or the consequences of encouraging disdain for life in general. But, the fact is that there is no scientific method applied to the legal definition of life in America and the magical thinking left, very specifically the ACLU, likes it that way because answering the hard questions or developing a moral thread based upon responsibility to our species somehow falls outside their meme.
How many endangered species do office buildings kill a year? I'll have the stats on wind farms quickly if you provide that. Maybe "bullshit" should stop being your knee-jerk, along with your continuing ability to read the minds and intent of your here.

+1 Insightful. Sorry bank is empty.

Yes, the police unions work really well protecting cops from people like Kelly Thomas who simply wish to not be beaten to death. That selfish punk.
So bald eagles regularly die by flying into windows to the point where a federal permit is required to kill them? Love to see that citation, please.

So I guess cats can kill bald eagles now?
Post a VPN in front of it - taken care of!
So Science is now two wolves and the tax payer sheep voting on who pays for the AGW grant? :)
Seriously? Are you trying to get on the gangsta-rap science committee? Disrespect? Bah-hahaha

You got that right!

Excuse me! Obama said Osama is dead and terrorism is solved! If you disagree you are obviously a racist!

Let's see, which of us received 529 million $ in federal loans to start a green car company overseas?
Me: No.
You: No.
Al Gore: Bingo!
Yep, no obsession there.

Yeah, because paying governments more money and allowing them unlimited bank accounts has worked out so fraking great here in California.

or 99% of people cannot conceive of living without aging. Maybe that's the saddest thing to conceive.
More mind reading. Shit, you should fucking just run everything.
Talk like this is what feeds the proof. Babies, in any internal form, are not parasites. Learn to read.
