So then "using" green energy is communist? Or planning to use it is?

Trump Budget Would Slam the Brakes on Energy Innovation

Congress has soundly rejected the administration’s previous budget proposals in this area, instead putting forward a positive vision for U.S. innovation that invests in a future of clean, reliable, low-cost energy. Lawmakers should do so again in fiscal year 2021.

Nope still not. Reading comprehension is hard.

Oh, my bad.. Joking about serious issues is called being facetious...

Know who else are facetious? They start with a T(roll).

But okay. Thanks for standing up for him. My approach to information is like that.. That if I make a serious enough inquiry, the answer will come. SO thanks for providing the answer.

I don't know every member on here, but I can see now that surface liked a few of my previous sporadic postings. Which backs up your claim. :)

For the lay reader of these threads, using quotations or something similar to elucidate humor or hypocracy can go a long way...

Anyway, the content of the posts still applies to those on here who seek to just troll.

He makes his points through satire. He has consistently posted in this style for years.

His point is actually very serious. The point is clear to people who can relax for 2 seconds. Try it.

What is trolling?

This is sort of the height of trolling:


This is what many of the posters on here aspire to be like.

It's petulant in nature and is inherently saying, "I am not happy with myself, I need to stir or invoke emotions in others, positive or negative - to feel a self importance"

It's really silly.

He's a real pretentious and nasty little pooftah, filled with delusions and grandeur.
An immensely bitter little queen.
His attack on Leslie Jones was bizzare - perhaps she snared a BBC he was after, she's hilarious, he is spectacularly unfunny
 

I came across this and I would like to think Biden's team has been clever to put on a charm offensive. Being a spokesperson of WH, it will be extremely difficult for anybody to be consistent but I have followed 2-3 of her WH briefings and she has been answering reasonably patiently. At times, I have heard her saying 'Sorry, I have no details at this stage' or something like that - which should be perfectly acceptable answer IMO.

What I liked is that there are other experts appearing in such briefings and without Biden hovering over them in the background.

She posts, I wanna say, commentary, on cable news... Some of the best twitter out there.

What about this one?

RUNNING INTERFERENCE

The Trump administration is burying dozens of studies detailing the promise of renewable energy, impeding a transition away from fossil fuels

The Trump administration is burying renewable-energy studies

“It just goes into a black hole,” said a Department of Energy researcher.

Well I'm not sure which academic journal Trump controled or how he could "bury" academic studies.

It's a laughable notion.

I tried to read it but it is another TDS blog. Skip the story telling BS about how everyone gathered in some room whilst the aircon was nice and it was hot outside.

Give some actually facts.

Pretty sure the horse cart industry felt the same way when they were banned from using tarred roads.

Stupid analogy as horse carts are still legal on most roads.

And your analogy fails completely when you look at basic thermodynamics. The reason why cars replaced the horse as a mode of transport is simply due to energy density.

The specific energy (the amount of energy you get per unit mass of something) of stuff a horse eats is around 17MJ/kg (carbohydrates, wood, sugar etc).
The specific of petroleum is 47.5.
The best lithium batteries can do is about 9.

This means that if you want electric cars to replace petrol cars, they need to be significantly cheaper to buy and run than petrol cars as they are not going to win any prizes for convenience.

Because we all know Ghostbusters 2016 was simply a piece of film making brilliance and every who says otherwise is simply a racist bigot.

Leslie Jones might be funny elsewhere, but her performance in Ghostbusters 2016 along with all the other actresses, was terrible.

Look at a scene for scene comparison.

And what Milo said of Leslie Jones and the other actresses is 100% true:
Despite pandering to the kind of woman who thinks misandry is a positive lifestyle choice, Ghostbusters is remarkably unkind to its female leads. Abigail is repellant and fat. Holtzmann is a clownish, lip-syncing drag queen. Erin is a forgettable, low-rent Jennifer Aniston clone. Patty is a two dimensional racist stereotype by even the most forgiving measure.

Patty is the worst of the lot. The actress is spectacularly unappealing, even relative to the rest of the odious cast. But it’s her flat-as-a-pancake black stylings that ought to have irritated the SJWs. I don’t get offended by such things, but they should.

I'm curious...

What is the MJ/kg of a petrol-engined car in the city such as Miami, New York, Mumbai, Tokyo, Cape Town, Durban etc when the city is underwater and uninhabitable?

Curious what you definition of majority is?
Is it perhaps: "when NBFTW approves and never in any other circumstance"?
