Ok, I guess. I'm going to say that "carbon capture" will be another ginormous subsidy like ethanol in refined petroleum fuel. The "pilot" project is very successful at doling out billions to farmers, railroad, fermenting plants etc. But there is no data that shows any kind of benefits for the environment or " energy independence ". Ethanol for transportation fuel is a gigantic con.Its like the continued production of equipment the DOD doesn't need but too many people are dependent on the dole.
Texas gets more energy from alternative/renewable energy sources than any other state. It's a real success story. Although Texans benefit, financially, from this, Greg Abott and the TX leg repubs are determined to fuck it up because they are assholes. https://www.texasmonthly.co...
If you're interested there is a very interesting article about this related to the San Joaquin Valley here in California. We need more solar, plus there isn't enough water, so it makes sense to convert some ag land to solar.
"In the next two decades, the Valley could accommodate the majority of the state’s estimated buildout of solar energy under a state plan forecasting transmission needs, adding enough capacity to power 10 million homes as California strives to reach 100 percent clean electricity by 2045. The influx of solar development would come at a time when the historically agriculture-rich valley is coping with new restrictions on groundwater pumping. Growers may need to fallow land. And some clean energy boosters see solar as an ideal alternative land use." - ArsTechnica
I've seen this exact movie before about 25 years ago and I'm enjoying the remake. thank you, OHJB!
oh, and that smell in the air. there's nothing quite like Spring in the hills.
Until the open post happens, I will use the Tabs post...
Yes, this! I stepped outside this morning, and the air was so fresh and sweet. Didn't realize I'd missed that until I had it again.
I hadn't had it in 25 years and now I'm missing it. lol

Good tip. I'm gotten spoiled hanging around with the Night Shift.

You’d think all those pro-business republicans would be proud of all the jobs renewable energy has created for Texans.
But I guess they can’t be seen as be too “woke.”
They don't give a shit about Texans. They work for Big Oil.
But PABOTUS has warned us about windmill cancer😵
Freedom Fries, you mean!
