A group called Mom’s Clean Air Force
In the midst of a global pandemic, Trump’s EPA Administrator — Andrew Wheeler — has feverishly ramped up his work to weaken regulations that protect us from air pollution. This would be terrible under any circumstance. But now, they are indecent. They defy the norms of reasonable behavior. (more…)
The dumpster rental Denver has been established to lease dumpsters of different sizes. They can be rented to property, building, or industrial consumers. These industries provide dumpsters to certain locations, and also at the end of the duration, they select them up. As a result of the enhanced construction activity occurring in Denver, this market has actually expanded and also boosted the revenue degree in services. (more…)
I won’t be reading the book mentioned here, so I can only speculate on the reasoning it lays out as to why Catholics should vote to re-elect the president. (more…)
Below is a link to a short but extremely well-done video from WBUR FM, which is Boston’s National Public Radio affiliate and the producer of massive amounts of content that we hear and see on a daily basis. Here, climate activist Frederick Hewett does a great job at explaining what climate-driven storm flooding is in the process of doing to the previously predictable and life-giving rivers.
“What we have is precious and it’s also vulnerable,” Hewett says. “We have to face the reality of climate change because it doesn’t show itself in our lives every day. But it is very much there. It is very real.”
I have to admit, the point made here makes my heart beat a little faster. (more…)
It’s understandable that the Democrats are unhappy with Trump’s stonewalling Congress and telling the Supreme Court who can be investigated and who can’t. But the Republicans? Check out this TV ad, and note that its tone, while serious, is entirely civil. (more…)
The problem with the analogy here is that while those who don’t wear seat belts endanger only themselves, those who don’t wear masks endanger largely other, innocent people.
If this weren’t the case, I’m sure most people would actually encourage the stay-at-home protestors, and let natural selection take our entire civilization to a higher level.
There was a time in American history, from 1776 through 2016 to be precise, during which it would have been unthinkable for a U.S. president to deny all responsibility for a national crisis, and to have shifted the blame from one target to another indiscriminately as time went by and the crisis got worse. No previous White House occupant would have even thought of trying such a chicken-s*** tack, since it would have outraged the people of this country to realize that their leader was such an abject coward.
I think these guys on this “renewable energy” group on Facebook like to screw with readers, getting them to buy into the most ludicrous concepts imaginable. Maybe they have an internal contest going, to see who can get the most “likes” for the most preposterous ideas. Most of these are not theoretically impossible, but they, like this one, come under the heading: not impossible, but fabulously impractical. (more…)
When I first got into the renewable energy field, my brother asked me a perfectly good question: why don’t the oil giants use their financial might to get into the industry. I gave him two answers:
They have no incentive to accelerate the transition from fossil fuels to renewables, but rather to delay it as long as possible (and they’re damn good at this), and
The specific core competencies of oil exploration don’t transfer well to things like building and installing solar and wind farms, hydrokinetics, etc.
At this point, the former for the two is clearly still in place, but it appears I may have been at least partially incorrect about the latter. Check out this article on how Norway is leveraging technology from the traditional energy field into renewables. Impressive.
