I am sure this 5 year extension in based on current energy prices worldwide France isn’t the USA United States they always built nuclear plants France’s minister for energy transition said Friday that French electricity giant EDF has committed to restart all its nuclear reactors by this winter to help the country through the broad energy crisis aggravated by the war in Ukraine. France relies on nuclear energy for about 67% of its electricity – more than any other country – and on gas for about 7%. So do you have a point |

they delayed shuttering the nuclear plant in California becuase it would cause power outages "The governor pushed for the extension in the final days of the legislative session in an attempt to maintain a steady power supply and avoid the politically damaging prospect of power outages." |

wayne, biden said today “I don’t consider ANY Trump supporter to be a threat to democracy.”
that’s the opposite of what he said last night. They are mutually exclusive statements. they can’t both be correct. he said today that no one who supports trump is a threat to democracy. |
So we can subsidize Gender Studies degrees, but Power Plants to provide the energy we will need for the EV’s the Gubment is mandating we drive, is a deal breaker. Got It…..sounds logical

The Senate bill makes it possible for PG&E to apply to keep the two reactors open through October 2029 and October 2030, respectively. The nuclear power plant was slated to shut down largely due to anti-nuclear sentiment in the state and a preference for building out renewable power sources, like wind and solar. |

america isn’t europe. we don’t like public transportation. we like the freedom of cars. |
Quote:
Lewis Mumford predicted in 1958 that Americans would discover that the highway program will, eventually, wipe out the very area of freedom that the private motorcar promised to retain for them. This warning has come to pass. Today, the car embodies the freedom to wait in traffic. Transportation choices hardly exist. Viable transit systems exist in only a few big cities, service is usually infrequent, inconvenient, and expensive, and is being drastically undermined by fare increases and service cutbacks. Gasoline is one of the few things that are cheaper today in real dollars than 20 years ago. Mass transit travel is many times more expensive. Development patterns make transit travel difficult, even for those who prefer it, and unavailable to most. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

here in CT we spent hundreds of millions of dollars paving 9 miles of road and built a busway into hartford. there’s no traffic, as only the buses can ride in it. the buses are cheap to ride, subsidized by the state. they are state of the art low emission buses. and nobody rides them. |

And the people who took 11,448 average weekday local and express passenger trips were not in cars. Ridership is increasing, but go ahead and rant. Remember we all subsidize roads and the fossil fuel industry. Utah has an extensive mass transit system, they too must be liberal. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Obama, regardless of his skin color, obviously isnt worried about oceans rising. you tried to make that a racist remark? seriously? you cannot be taken seriously here. our construction czar flies around in a private jet, which tells me he isn’t concerned about the effect of a big carbon footprint on the environment. |
Jim never misses a red herring, environmental change can’t happen because (insert name) flies on airplanes.
The total of air traffics contribution is somewheres around 2% and that’s for all flights, passenger, cargo and military and eliminating it completely would still leave 98% Now Jim has no idea if any of the people he has heard Fox cite as hypocrites combined trips, chose not to take trips or used one of the numerous mechanisms to offset their carbon footprint by any amount. But that wouldn’t enhance his victimhood, would it? But we all know he’s Stable Genius II and really really, like smart. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Why is it a red herring if I say this….let’s all be held to the same standard, let’s all be asked to make the same sacrifices. If Al Gore and Barack Obama and John Kerry have a carbon footprint that’s acceptable ( and since none of you can ever bring yourselves to criticize those guys, let’s assume it’s acceptable), why isn’t it acceptable if we all have the same carbon footprint? Wayne, FYI, now i’m being critical of two white guys and a black guy, is that racial makeup acceptable to you? Because we can throw Leonardo Decaprio and Steven Spielberg in the list if that makes the aggregate skin pigmentation ( which is always important to liberals) tolerable to you. |

Seeing I had no idea him buying a house was such news yet seems i wasn't far off seeing fox ran an op-ed about the subject suggesting it was about “Too many in Democratic leadership peddle the politics of envy and victimhood to grab power, wealth and success for themselves,” she said. FYI my comment was sarcasm Yet 99.9 % of Republicans aren't worried about oceans rising.:btu: many of the rich aren't concerned seeing it will impact them the least and how is buying a house equal to not concerned in the ocean risings I just don't see How he even ties into the topic.. other than what pete suggested you think obama a hypocrite for buying a house on an island :btu: |

Only Jim could conclude Obama buying a home on the vineyard equates to him having no concern about ocean rising. Was the house on stilts right on the beach Jim or well away from the ocean rising which, unless your brain dead, is likely to impact future generations, not us old farts. Could it be he is concerned but loves the island and wants to spend much of his golden years there?

Republicans fight climate change laws because they’re paid to. Republicans fight gun control laws because they’re paid to. Republicans fight unions and living wages because they’re paid to. Republicans fight healthcare for all because they’re paid to. Any questions? Maybe who owns the GOP? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

you’re saying it’s ok for obama to have a massive carbon footprint. does everyine have the right to the same carbon footprint? that’s the key question. |
All I can say Jim is if that’s proof to you Obama isn’t concerned about global warming and sea level rise, I wil let you make a fool of yourself all by yourself. You do realize certain property purchases and locations are decades from being impacted by sea level rises, please share with us the elevation above sea level these Obama purchases that prove your silly case.

it’s very convenient that therefore, he can leave the biggest carbon footprint he feels like leaving. for the second time, do we all have the right to the same carbon footprint that Obama has? any reason why you don’t want to answer that question? |

We all need to do what we can, the things Tucker is telling you are silly, just like his theory that real men tan their testicles. How do you know what anyone else has done about climate challenges? You make assumptions and convict them based on what you heard, and then like a typical wannabe, won’t do anything unless you get a participation award.

You’re terrified of this question…can we all have multiple mansions and fly private jets? or do only some folks have the right to that luxury? |

Let’s first acknowledge the fact this criticism is a logical fallacy, an ad hominem, that in no way refutes the existence of global warming or addresses its accompanying issues. Criticizing an environmentalist for flying too much is a diversion, a red herring, meant to derail us from having a real conversation about global warming, because any real conversation about global warming ends with us realizing how enormous and urgent the issue is. The “fly too much” criticism shifts the blame from the actually guilty parties — oil companies, and the governments and financial systems who support them — to the environmental advocate, making him a scapegoat. Instead of a systemic problem, it transforms global warming into a personal problem. The jet-setting environmentalist is turned into a convenient villain, and branded a hypocrite. Or are you now a socialist? The rest of the MAGA world is having a full meltdown over CA keeping the power on during an unprecedented heat wave while Greg Abbott in TX couldn't.
