Has any looked into where the energy and materials to manufacture, ship, install, maintain, and dispose of renewables comes from? How about the ecological or cultural costs of using large swaths of land for wind and solar?

White House Doctor has not released the truth. "Sir" is suffering from severe rectocranial inversion.

BREAKING:

Sir is found to have a "colon abnormality" in Sir's colon. This will require a colonoscopy, or what Sir refers to as "...through a butt probingingly". Now recall "Trump Term One: The Unhinging" when Sir underwent the same procedure -- to dislodge a chunk of styrofoam from an old Big Mac container -- and refused anesthesia because "...that puts Pence in command and I'll wake up in jail or a church or somewheres!" The world awaits Sir's handling of VP Vance; looming stroke; discovery of ferret remains; the Big C; and continuous, humiliating pain.

This company will supercharge geothermal, by allowing cost-effective deep-drilling to access hot rocks almost anywhere. ("Normal" geothermal only works where there are hot rocks relatively close to the surface, and conventional drilling gets exponentially more expensive the deeper you go.) One of their notions is to drill where the coal plants are now and use the same steam turbines to produce electricity ... without burning any coal.

Quaise spun out of that socialist, speech-suppressing hellhole MIT, from the same lab that produced Commonwealth Fusion, which plans to start putting fusion power on the grid (in Virginia) in 2030.

Thank goodness Rufo, Thiel, Vance, and Trump are working to shut MIT down. Nothing good comes out of that communist, woke-mind-virus-infected institution. We'll be better off without it.

Thanks for making me feel better this morning. We all need some good news these days.

The Chinese are investing a half trillion dollars in solar, wind and electric vehicles and will be eating our lunch for a hundred years while Donald Trump talks about coal and filthy coal tar pipelines.

According to Trump they are building one new coal plant per week, Germans are building two per week "Windmills" don't work and they kill birds!! He actually said that recently. Where does this guy come up with this stuff, and why does any sane person believe a word of it?

Kind of a surprise dinner out this evening. Planning on hitting a food truck called Impeckable Chicken but we timed it poorly. They were gone by 7. Hit an Italian place instead and had deliciousness. Mine was porcini ravioli with walnut tomato cream sauce, and it was like ambrosia!! I'd do that shit any day. :D

The sauce sounds reallly interesting will try to replicate in my own test kitchen!

Watching Ayman...

Fox moron Waters-

Sitting behind a computer screen makes you effeminate.

Yeah, fuck off dude- I sit behind a computer plotting how to cut metal into useful parts, and then go run a machine that makes that happen.

You sit in front of a camera in an ill fitting suit and talk shit.

Meet me out behind the shop, boy.

You realize that this means that Watters has just called Elno (a guy) and his DOGE kids (who I'm fairly sure are all guys, too) "effeminate". I would absolutely love to see the logical consequences of this.

Queen Méabh's avatar

Well, people already spend too much on Christmas, in my opinion, and every child I know has about 100X as many toys as we did growing up, and yet my generation grew up to develop many technologies that shape the world today. This includes the World Wide Web, the internet, and various medical advancements.

I was considered to be a VERY LUCKY LITTLE GIRL because I had two - count them TWO! - sets of Lincoln Logs. You can build an enormous moated castle with 2 sets, which kept me busy and quiet for hours. A good toy should do just that.

All the little kids toys have to have blinking lights and sound too.

They have so much stuff that nothing in it matters to them.

They'll never be as attached to any toy as my sibs and I were to a stuffed toy collie we named Rupert. By the time we had to finally say goodbye to him we had already patched him in several spots, reattached his tail and replaced one of his eyes ourselves.

Never did find another toy collie as good looking as him

I had a lamb with pink toes which I creatively called "Pinky Toes." I gave it to my sister for her kids when they were little. My niece still has it.

The toy industry will soon have an exception - just as soon as the extortion shakedown check clears for their purchase of several $100 million of the $Trump meme coin, or direct deposits to Putin/Trump off shore accounts. You must line up and pay big bucks to suck off the king.
