As Nebraska's leading opponent to wind and solar, this is a big help to me!; 10/28/26, 9:20 AM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...: Fighting for fossil fuels and against green energy in 2026 is like fighting for horse-drawn carriages and against the automobile in 1926: you might delay the transition, but you can’t repeal technological progress or economics.

Trump’s determination to turn back the clock may ultimately do more to discredit fossil-fuel dependence and accelerate the search for alternatives than a thousand climate conferences or Greta Thunberg speeches ever could. Perhaps he deserves a Nobel Prize after all—for inadvertently advancing the very transition he’s trying to stop.; 10/28/26, 9:23 AM

Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: Only idiots and insane people think “Green Energy” is anything other than a scam. Look at the sky-high electricity bills in “green” California. The only reason my energy bills were over $2000 in CA and about $200 in FL on average is because of “green policies” that made generating electricity more expensive, less reliable and hostage to the whims of of wind, windbags in Sacramento and sunshine.; 10/28/26, 9:37 AM
Mike (MJB Wolf) said...: The party that still pushes choo choos as “transportation of the future” wants you to know that Trump, who is rolling out Nuclear power plant construction coast-to-coast with alacrity, is in their retarded opinion “turning back the clock.”

Sure Jan!; 10/28/26, 9:40 AM

These are not mutually exclusive alternatives. It can be both things.; 10/28/26, 9:48 AM
wildswan said...: The trend of the Althouse posts suggests to me that the Insurrectionists in the back are urging the ones in front to go forward while the ones in front are stepping sideways to let others have the honor and glory. Over many elections, I've observed how closely she somehow observes both the lefty hive and the righty normie mind.
In history there has never been an instance of a successful installation of a tyranny by a coup against a government supported by an armed, educated, legitimate, aware (thank you, data republican) and armed public. And aware. And such a coup is hardly the kind Americans would undertake because the vast majority have great deal to lose. If there's any risk, they'd rather their neighbor did the job while they clap. And there is the additional risk that Americans will hear that people are being shot down in the streets of Chicago and not realize that they are supposed to notice a coup is underway. Suppose a statement by the Big Fat Governor ran into coverage of Game 5? Would people think it was an unusual Ozempic ad, silence it and get the wings?; 10/28/26, 9:50 AM

They are such stupid little cultists.

The retard might actually believe this.; 10/28/26, 10:10 AM

Weak. 3/10.

Don’t be jealous.; 10/28/26, 10:13 AM
William said...: He has sounded the tocsin and soon the folks at PETA will be on this. Soon, on some cloudy day, some Greta will be chaining herself to a solar panel. Will we destroy the panel before the sun comes out or will we let Greta fry? A Kantian dilemma. A harrowing choice between the destruction of the earth or burning Greta at the stake. I myself would be perplexed with indecision if such a choice were ever offered..; 10/28/26, 10:14 AM

Kinda. Govt did not force anybody to give up their hors for an automobile. California outlawing gas water heaters as well as sale of gasoline powered cars and trucks.; 10/28/26, 10:44 AM

Rustygrommet said...: Just west of where I am are some large wind farms. There's an occasional raptor or crow, but eagles tend to hang out near water not on the prairie. Still the odd Red Tailed Hawk is a small price to pay for virtue signaling. Not to mention the grift.; 10/28/26, 11:51 AM
boatbuilder said...: Have a little solar panel which powers the little plastic sliding door on the chicken coop. Opens it at dawn and closes at dusk. It works fine. Its a long way from the house so nowhere to plug it in.
Wouldn't trust solar for anything more substantial.; 10/28/26, 4:44 PM
