From The Energy Society:

Legal cases in state and federal courts across the country are challenging the limits of US environmental law. Among them is West Virginia vs. the EPA, which is destined to become one of the most important Supreme Court cases in recent legal history. Indeed, if the conservative-majority Court rules in favor of West Virginia, their decision could limit the Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to reduce greenhouse emissions, weaken all environmental regulations, deactivate hundreds of laws, and fundamentally alter the structure of the entire US government.

As an advocate for common sense gun laws, I’m sure this is my first pro-gun post here at 2GreenEnergy.

It appears that many Ukrainians have automation rifles, and stand ready to protect their lives and property from the Russian invaders.

Godspeed to them.

If I were a Russian soldier encountering this, I’d be thinking, “Hey, let’s just go back to making vodka and borscht, and stay away from idiotic positions like this one.”

It’s been a few years since I was a guest on Judith West’s TV show, “Getting Your Money’s Worth” — see below.

The PR firm I hired tried to get me on as many television and radio programs as possible, and, I have to say, they were incredible. (more…)

If we’ve learned anything about Donald Trump as a person and political actor, it’s that there is no limit to his disgusting behavior.

Think of how many times over the last five years we’ve all said, “Well, that has to be the bottom,” only to learn a few weeks later that there is a new level to his depravity.

Of course, what we’re really learning is that there is no limit to the hateful ignorance of his voting base, and the fawning cowardice of his supporters in Congress.

Here’s a product from a company called Veer: the Split Belt.  Its inventor claims it has distinct advantages over conventional belts used in bicycles, motorcycles, etc., and it very well may.

Yet I see this as a scam. Why? Because no rational agent wants investors diluting his company’s value and breathing down his neck, when the product itself is already fully developed and ready to be sold into the OEM market.  If you need capital to ramp up manufacturing, just get a purchase order from a customer and take it to a bank.

Here’s a toy that is sold to people who don’t have a 6th-7th grade education in science and don’t realize that such a device does not conform to the laws of physics.

The (manipulated) video shows the ball continuously falling down the track and then being flipped back up to the top.

Here’s an ad that reads: A political earthquake is coming to the USA and it has 18 wheels and 5 axles. Our Canadian brothers and sisters were the spark that will ignite the light of liberty in the hearts of every freedom-loving man, woman, and child on earth (sic).

Well, I suppose this doesn’t address everything that’s wrong with today’s America, but it’s a good start. Driving empty trucks around is a reckless assault against the world’s environment.  Protesting against the use of science to address a pandemic that has already killed 6 million worldwide, and almost 1 million in the U.S., shows a depth of ignorance that’s hard to find beyond our borders.

Let this serve as a reminder that, unlike the United States, the other democracies on Earth are getting through the early part of the 21st Century without electing sociopaths who destabilize their nations, and the rest of the world at the same time.

Exactly how far war criminal Vladimir Putin ultimately gets in Eastern Europe remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: he’ll run into stiff opposition, and he won’t be aided by traitors in the sovereign nations he attacks.

Here’s a handgun holster that can be mounted anywhere in your home, for instant access to a loaded weapon.

People hire me as a marketing consultant, often involving me in the naming of a certain product for our service.

If I had the opportunity here, I’d call it “The Child Killer.”

That’s why I won’t be given the opportunity.

Of course, Charles Bukowsky was a poet and author, not a neuroscientist, but there is clearly some truth here.

It’s how I often console intelligent people who are going through sad periods of their lives: the tears are the price that bright people pay for being bright.  You can experience great joys that are totally inaccessible to morons, but, again, that doesn’t come without a cost.
