How stupid does one have to be to believe this?
Do the four exclamation points at the end add credibility?
The GOP has had more than a decade to come up with something, and some fools think it’s going to happen now??
It’s just so upsetting and embarrassing to think that those in my community are this goddamn dumb.
From a reader:
Agrophotovoltaic projects are appearing around the world where solar panels and farming go hand in hand. A more common one is where sheep graze within a solar farm to be living grass clippers that are provided with much needed shade. However in Germany, Next2Sun has developed bifacial solar panels with one side facing east and the other west. (more…)
From the New York Times:
LONDON — Prince William on Thursday announced the establishment of an environmental prize worth 50 million pounds, or $65 million, that will reward climate change solutions over the next 10 years, saying it was an effort to “turn the current pessimism surrounding environmental issues into optimism.” (more…)
Does anyone believe for a second that climate activist Greta Thunberg would prefer Joe Biden as U.S. president over some Green Party candidate? Of course not.
She’s “ridin’ with Biden” for the same reason we all are, i.e., we have a sociopath in the White House who needs to be removed.
As we near the end of campaign season, Alaska’s Republican incumbent senator Dan Sullivan finds himself under pressure due to his participation in a mining project that the majority of voters oppose. From this: (more…)
For the first time in 1600 years, the Catholic Church is led by a pontiff with abiding and deep-seated humanistic views. Now, the Pope calls for divestment from companies not committed to environmental stewardship. Truly great stuff.
FWIW, this is not hard to do, even if you’re in mutual funds and ETFs that have diverse portfolios. One way to do this is simply to follow the investment advice of Tom Konrad, PhD, at AltEnergyStocks.com. He’s a magician. The other is to pick a mutual fund that doesn’t invest in things of which you disapprove. Personally, if it hurts people or comes out of the ground, I don’t want to own it.
It’s becoming clearer to Americans by the day that Trump is, in fact, a danger to the United States. That’s what these 70 Republican national security officers are saying, and it’s the message 9.855 million Americans received in last night’s “60 Minutes,” where Leslie Stahl presented a segment on the Lincoln Project, a huge group of Republicans doing everything it can to unseat Trump.
Expect increasingly unhinged behavior as desperation sets in. What to make of his despotic orders to indict his present and past political opponents on baseless charges? What’s next?
Part of the damage that our president has done to this country is creating the illusion that everybody is as selfish and mean as he is himself. As indicated at left and below, this is simply not true. (more…)
This is funny, but let’s take a serious look at where we are and where we need to be. In particular, where would we be right now if Trump were not president?
A pandemic largely behind us, jobs not going overseas, and job growth post-COVID, environmental stewardship, the U.S. honored and respected internationally, race-related hatred and violence assuaged, a career criminal indicted, convicted, and imprisoned.
First things first. Vote.
The rank and file Trump supporter doesn’t understand the ridicule with which the United States is now regarded abroad, and wouldn’t care even if he did.
We can only hope that this will be over soon.
As my friend David Leebron, president of Rice University and former Dean of the Columbia Law School, said on a Zoom meeting yesterday, “A large part of the power of this country, in addition to its economic might, is its values. Historically, we’ve stood for honor and decency, and even countries that generally resent us respect us for that.”
