To those who have been with us since our inception in 2009, as well as to those who are just joining us now for the first time, here’s a brief summary of what we at 2GreenEnergy are all about. We offer:
• A platform on which we connect cleantech entrepreneurs with sources of investment capital. (more…)
Answer:
No. About 70% of the country objects to Trump’s sociopathic criminality.
He’s supported by about 28% of hateful morons, and 2% of rich greedy, selfish pigs.
As they say, “Check your bank account if you want to know which of these groups you fall into.”
If you want to remain ignorant of science, that’s your choice. Homeschool your kids and teach them that rejecting Christ will send them to an eternity of torment in hell.
You’ll need to start while their still young, while they’re still incapable of asking you why all the little boys and girls who are born in non-Christian countries are doomed to be tortured forever.
Maybe if you can isolate them such that they’ll never question why the bible says the Earth is 6000 years old, when dinosaur bones are hundreds of millions of years old.
If you want to go down this road, which I call child abuse, you have that right.
But realize this: as time passes and science continues to help us cure disease, explore space, extend our lives, and, we hope, help us to avert environmental collapse, your position will reveal itself for what it is: cruel stupidity.
Dr. Brian Cox has risen to the status of what I would call an “astrophysics badass” in a matter of just a few short years. Anywhere you go on social media, there’s Cox making you think the most profound thoughts imaginable.
I won’t give anything away, but I caution you to fasten your seatbelt.
Of course, there is no science or math behind the map here. But it fits the narrative that people are fleeing California because of its (you name it) environmental regulations, high taxes, woke ideologies, etc.
Why would anyone want to live in a state that, if it were a nation on its own, would be the fourth largest economy on Earth? Leads the planet in innovation? Where someone can ski and surf in the same day?
Better get yer ass down to Texas, the oil-drillin’ and death penalty capital of the world.
If you’re a racist moron who’s desperate to punish blacks, immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQs, as well as intelligent, kind people, you can force yourself to believe the constant torrent of lies that come out of Trump’s mouth.
You go online or turn on the television, not to learn something, but to go shopping for ideas that support the hateful crap that’s already in your mind.
Wind turbines work by extracting some of the kinetic energy from moving air and transferring it to the blades that move in a circle.
No moving parts means no kinetic energy.
Sorry.
Iceland is lucky enough to have incredible geothermal resources. And while it’s not alone in that regard, most parts of the world require drilling through some of the toughest rock on the planet.
That’s the reason that solar and wind have come to dominate the landscape of renewables; their costs have plummeted in recent years, making things like geothermal noncompetitive in most regions.
To the author of the meme here, I respond:
Yes, all this is true. But we must never forget that we voted for this, not once but twice.
Still, a full 30% of us support the lies, the stupidity, and the criminality, while our enemies are popping the tops off of champagne bottles. Russia took us down without firing a shot. China is making its way toward world domination, largely because the United States committed suicide.
Fifty years ago, we were a reasonably well-educated and principled people.
Now, we’re a blend of greedy pigs and hateful imbeciles.
We have no one to blame for the implosion of America but ourselves.
It would be incorrect to say that literally no one saw this coming, but it took the overwhelming majority of the world by complete surprise.
Former Republican strategist Steve Schmidt makes an important point here, one that makes us wonder exactly how long it’s going to take to repair the damage that Trump has inflicted on our country.
Let’s say that the midterm elections shift the balance of power in congress and Trump is removed from power in the first half of 2027. Perhaps this will happen on the basis of his senility, using the 25th Amendment. Or better, he’ll be impeached and convicted for any of dozens of the crimes he’s committed.
As much of the physical damage as possible will be undone, almost overnight. No Trump names on public buildings. Tariffs removed. Science re-instated as the pillar of policy making and public health. No more idiot sycophants in key positions. Iran and the U.S. (somehow) move back into the relationship we had before Trump’s asinine and illegal war.
The vast majority of Americans and virtually everyone else on Earth will breathe a huge sigh of relief.
But even if this happens swiftly, it will most certainly not make the “Trump phenomenon” vanish into the mist. People all around the globe will continue to regard the former envy of the world as a nation of hateful idiots, and it’s likely that this perception, as many have suggested, will take a generation or so to lift.
Canadian PM Mark Carney is predicting that, given the implosion of the U.S., that a new world order is forming with Europe as its center. Maybe “a generation or so” won’t get the job done. Maybe American dominance is gone forever.
And maybe that’s not such a bad thing. Imagine for a moment that billionaires didn’t control every facet of life here, and that our nation morphs into one that resembles the more enlightened places on this planet, where its people are well-educated and feel a distinct level of compassion for one another.
As the U.S. crawls further into the woods of anti-vaxxers and other conspiracy theorists, everyone living here encounters a variety of threats.
