Foxx Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 i have solar power. i love it. it helped that there are incentives from the federal government as well as the state government. also, on top of that, there is the NYSERDA grant. i did this three years ago and in another three years, my out of pocket expenses will have been paid back. this will then give me 19 years of free electricity.

The best part of that per Nancy Pelosi is that the use of natural gas cuts our use of fossil fuels. I have this innovative invention I'm working on, and all my friends in PPP have a small window in which to invest. Fart bags.... The use of fart bags may even allow us to keep cows! And think of all the purely NATURAL GAS as a result! I'm tellin' ya.... This invention is light years ahead of it's time! Heck, we may even be able to keep planes in the air if we but harness the farts of the passengers! Un-soaked beans can become a staple once again! 1

bilzfancy Posted February 24, 2019 Posted February 24, 2019 Here in Florida, about 20 miles from me is a town called Babcock Ranch, it's entirely run on solar, from houses, to the buses, and restaurants. The sun shines here an average of 28 days a month, if not more, but up north, where the sun barely shines in the winter, it would be tough to do.

And how many commercial, government or multi-residential buildings? Guess we’ll need a few more solar installers, huh? Government can probably train former coal miners how to do that in a week or so. We have 12 years to save the planet and we all know that if we get all this done in less than 12 the world will be immediately saved.

Occasional-Cortex will assure there is sufficient sunlight by passing a law limiting clouds. But don't get me wrong -- it's absurd we have done such a poor job utilizing solar power. But 'the world will end in 12 years' hysteria is enormously counter-productive (for lots of reasons, not the least of which is how many incredibly ignorant people we are creating). How about we continue to gradually strengthen green building standards, up to and including solar requirements for new housing starts? 1

Not surprised....we probably should have started doing that after the oil crisis in the 70s. We're doing a remodel and have to pass a green energy audit to get the permits. 1

It a big country to retrofit and I laugh when AOC thinks any of this is possible ever let alone 12 years. 2

mead107 Posted February 25, 2019 Posted February 25, 2019 So we never had an ice age. It was fake. Where did all the oil come from in Alaska? Did the Vikings dump it there when they sailed all over the world? Maybe the Martians ? dumped it to get it off their planet. Why can’t we go back to living in teepees. I think we need more locks and dams to backup rivers and create lakes for bathing. I think we should do away with blacktop and cement roads. It’s not fair to make worms ? and ants ? find new homes. We need to do away with dumps. Nobody should generate garbage. Stop Amazon and other companies from using cardboard and plastic. Let’s shut these companies down. Join the mead party.

Yes, come one, come all. It's a mead party time! https://www.liquor.com/articles/10-facts-about-mead/#gs.WPMy16at Ever wonder what mighty potion Vikings fortified themselves with as they crisscrossed the oceans? Or what King Midas was swigging from his golden goblet? The answer lies with the humble honeybee—and the sweet elixir it’s helped produce for millenia. Mead may be the ancestor of all alcoholic beverages. It’s enjoyed audiences with all manner of royalty, epic fictional heroes and even Greek gods. But its popularity has still sagged under the weight of history—until now. The ancient draught is staging a triumphant return, and you need to know what all the buzz is about. 1
