Climate Change / People don’t believe renewables are cheap any more, so activists pretend they never said it was

The sore losers of the renewable-fantasy hope you don’t expect them to apologize
We are at the beginning of the big-flip. The activist pundits are suddenly realizing that renewables aren’t cheap and worse, that the public know it. Without blinking, they’re switching from telling us how cheap renewables are to saying of course, it’s going to be difficult, like everyone knows this and they haven’t been completely wrong for twenty years and wasted trillions of dollars.
They hope of course to erase the past, skip the apology, and slide the public straight into acceptance — that the transition will cost more, of course.
Take Peter Lewis, of Essential Polling. He writes snidely in The Guardian:
Here’s the truth: energy transition is hard. Not everyone gets a pony
The climate crisis has long been defined by its lies: From the original sin of science denial, to Tony Abbott’s confected carbon tax panic, to the latest yellowcake straw man. But the most damaging porky of all might be that the transition to renewable energy will be easy.

National/Breaking News / Re: PETA calls Noem a ‘psychotic loony’ for deadly dog story
« Last post by NavyCanDo on Today at 04:16:37 pm »Why she would bring up shooting animals in a book about politics to convey she's not afraid of getting messy or ugly is a bit of a concern. I haven't read the book and perhaps what she was trying to convey was taken out of context?
Exactly. I can understand putting down a dog for killing chickens when growing up in farm country. My dad put down a dog for doing the same, though he didn't shoot it. But recording it in a book that you were hoping would launch your national political career was stupid beyond belief. Did her editor or proof readers, maybe even family and friends reading the pre-published transcript not say, " wait honey, ya better not put that in the book".

Immigration/Border / Re: Biden Gives 100K Illegals Obamacare
« Last post by Hoodat on Today at 04:16:00 pm »Trump had two years with a GOP Congress where he could have repealed Obamacare. But he didn't. It's been fourteen years since Republicans vowed to repeal Obamacare, but we still have it.
The problem isn't illegals. The problem is the US Government interfering with the health insurance industry.

National/Breaking News / Re: Outrage erupts when authorities toss 2 farmers in prison on 30-day sentences
« Last post by unite for individuality on Today at 04:15:38 pm »We have strict medical standards in this country. Why we have the best human and animal medicine programs in the world. We are not a 3rd world craphole that allows this type of crap to happen.
Those "strict medical standards" denied people access to
medications that ACTUALLY WORK against COVID,
and pressured people into taking injections
that are now killing more people than the disease did!
The "3rd world crapholes" actually had the LOWEST death rates from COVID!
Because they continued allowing free access to
the same medications that they've always used against malaria,
and are highly effective against COVID.
Many times, "enforcing professional standards" actually HARMS the public!
Those "professional standards" are just a cloak for ENFORCING CORRUPTION!

Climate Change / EV Hell continues: Crash victims might have to be “left to die”, Hertz dumps another 10,000 cars,
« Last post by rangerrebew on Today at 04:13:34 pm »EV Hell continues: Crash victims might have to be “left to die”, Hertz dumps another 10,000 cars, Tesla sacks whole charging team
EV doom. The collapse of an industry. AI assisted.

Chronicling the collapse of the Big-Government-made EV bubble
In today’s EV obituary column, Elon Musk has dropped a bombshell. Two months after Telsa chargers became the industry standard (which promised to save the other car makers) his profits fell, and he’s fired the entire EV charging team overnight. Hertz, meanwhile, has realized that dumping 20,000 electric cars in January was not enough, and it has to offload another 10,000 electric cars, which now amounts to half its EV fleet. And then comes the news that there might be a secondhand “timebomb” coming at the eight year mark when most EV battery warranties run out and cars will become “impossible to sell”.
As if that’s not enough, this week the fire and rescue experts in NSW are warning in the politest possible way, that they might have to do a “tactical disengagement” of a car accident victim, which means leaving them to die in an EV fire if the battery looks likely to explode. They say that first responders need more training, as if this can be solved with a certificate, but the dark truth is that they’re talking about training the firemen and the truck drivers to recognize when they have to abandon the rescue.
EV crash victims could be left to die in battery fires without training for responders, inquiry told
