New Zealand Prime Minister Pledges 100% Renewable Energy by 2030
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern promises to achieve 100% renewables by 2030 if her party wins re-election in October. The plan calls for an accelerated schedule and the use of pumped hydro energy storage to make clean energy universally available.
“I’ve Studied Pathological Liars, and ……”
This woman has made the study of pathological liars her life’s work. I haven’t, and you probably haven’t either. But doesn’t this ring true?
We tend to wonder how it’s possible that one man, who just happens to be the most powerful person on Earth, is capable of telling more than 22,000 lies in less than four years in office. The reason we wonder about this is that lying is abhorrent to our basic nature.
Everyone lies, but most of us are extremely cognizant of what we’re doing at the time, and wish the circumstances were otherwise and we could just tell the truth. Trump, on the other hand, has no relationship to the truth whatsoever, and simply says what makes him look best at the time.
There are so many horrific elements of the Trump presidency, but it’s possible that the greatest single tragedy is that 40% of Americans either are blind to Trump’s character as a liar and a criminal, or, more likely, simply don’t care.

Trump Supporter–the Perfect Package
I have to give this guy credit; he’s the total package, with the gun, the beard, the paint peeling from the porch railing, and the Confederate flag.
He actually would have won a prize even without the pig, but the porcine element launches him into a category all by himself.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner, as my daughter likes to say.

Rights and Obligations
The note at left lies at the crux of much of what is wrong in our world today. We, especially Americans, feel entitled to an ever-expanding set of rights (now, including the right to infect others with COVID-19). But we have little sense of obligation to those living around us–now, or in the future.
Only about half of Americans self-identify as “environmentalists.” The other half has very little concern about the quality of the planet available to our fellows, and even less about what we will be leaving for our grandchildren. Isn’t that astonishing?
Climate Change Reports Offer Occasional Smiles
Shortly after the launch of 2Green Energy 11 years ago, a number of people suggested that I do my own research into the theory of anthropogenic climate change. I explained that there are literally millions of manhours of work that has gone into this over the last 50 years, and reduplicating it would be impossible. (more…)

Trump: Efforts To Teach Anti-Racism Are Child Abuse
Over the past few years it’s become apparent that approximately 40% of American voters are either racists (covert or overt), or, at very least, perfectly comfortable with racism. To that end, they’re going to support Trump’s call to alter our schools’ textbooks to make our country’s racial history appear just, compassionate, and inclusive, where the precise opposite is true.
FWIW, the idea of sugar-coating the cruelty against people of color that has defined U.S. history since the country’s inception is not a new one. (more…)

FBI’s Wray: Antifa Is An Ideology
Exactly.
As I explain to my mother, “I, Craig, your son, am Antifa when I do my writing and protest in the streets. Your husband was Antifa when he was bombing German oil refineries in the 40s. It wasn’t called that then, but it is now.
“And yes, there are people looting grocery stores. They’re called ‘looters.'”

What To Expect Between Now and November 3rd: Dirty Tricks, and More
According to the reports we read, we expect to see a few things happen as we approach the election:
• Russia is in the process of doing its best, through whatever means, to discredit Biden.
• In democratic-dominated regions of swing states, we’ll see various voter suppression techniques like mailbox removal.
• In those same regions, we’ll see dirty tricks, like “polls closed” or “detour” signs near polling places. (more…)
