Lee Zeldin, the agency administrator, will address a Heartland Institute forum in April. The organization says speakers will challenge the climate crisis “narrative.”

The Heartland Institute was created to meet the shared need of the fossil fuels and tobacco industries to avoid the inconvenient science pointing to the harms of their products.

The party can lead by clearly explaining why electricity prices are rising and who bears responsibility, or they can surrender the narrative to corporate pundits and technocrats increasingly aligned with Big Tech.

 

The suit accuses the agency of illegally repealing the endangerment finding, the scientific assessment that required it to regulate greenhouse gases.

Prosecutors have struggled to prove in court what the president and his aides have repeatedly said in public: that a network of leftist activists presents a serious threat to national security.

Probably because the protesters are patriots in a way that Republicans and ICE are not.

Congress can remove a justice with a majority vote in the house and a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate. This means you can't actually remove a judge unless they lose support from within their own party, and the Republicans have shown that they wont go along with removal no matter what.

This means that in practice, the path forward is to add additional judges, so that the Republicans are a minority, and unable to do any damage.

The brain worms are doing much better

Not anymore — there is no way they'd have gone along with this if it was a Democrat swapping out officials to his every whim

Winning through delegitimizing the other side to keep soldiers from being willing to fight is the only practical way to win under these conditions

No. What they are doing is gerrymandering districts and making it harder for people to vote

The decision has nothing to do with their stated reasons; they are in favor of racism, but don't want to say so

New nuclear is a fairly expensive way to generate electricity and site-constrained by cooling water needs. I don't expect that much to be built.

Wind and solar are however quite cheap. Be just fine to have spot instances in your datacenter. And yes, home users should not be subsidizing big companies.

Her other ideas, like taking wildfire risk reduction out of the electric bill and putting it into billionaires income tax are also really good ones

One which doesn't require professional installation has real potential to cut the cost of solar by making it about who can sell a good-enough panel the most cheaply. That hasn't happened so far in the US, and means that rooftop solar is something like 4x the price it is in other countries.

I think they require the disconnect to be built into the panel, but not 100% sure

I suspect that the media diet of those affected makes the leopard completely invisible

Realistically you need to get them banned.

Get flock banned at a local level.

Get to protests on a bicycle or a bus. Carpool if you must.
