Bring back Artemis space shuttle technology! VAX/VMS forever!

Indeed. A pragmatic government decision is exactly equivalent to Nazi level thinking. There’s no other possible result.

Think logically. If “ The LCOE calculations are readily done, and it's absolutely blindingly obvious that not having to pay the costs of supplying fuel means renewables are substantially cheaper than fossil fuels.” then there’d be zero fossil usage, and your would be far less sanguine about painting Swastikas on Teslas and attacking Tesla dealerships.

People aren’t being forced to use fossil fuel at gunpoint.

The current situation is so stupid that Hochul is forcing many upstate New Yorkers to burn coal and wood to affordably heat their homes.

Seems that Germany regrets shutting down its nukes, and the EU has reversed its recommendations - including a top EU leader that came out of Germany, while France is happy.

They’re not stupid. You just think you’re smarter than them.

What a mysterious coincidence.

You deliberately failed to account for percentages.

You deliberately failed to accede natural gas is better than oil and coal. Shutting down PennEast and other NG pipelines, for example, was sheer short-sighted stupidity that increases pollution, increases CO2, and increases costs.

You deliberately assumed we can always instantly replace fossil fuel with green.

Silly.

That still doesn’t abrogate the disproportionate amount of subsidies. We see the net result - higher net energy costs passed onto consumers (essentially a very regressive tax) plus, in the name of politically short-sighted pandering, steering the regional economic engine away from more practical environmentally better options (nuclear, allowing the replacing of dirtier fossil fuels with cheaper and cleaner natural gas, more power lines down from Canadian hydro).

If true, then of-shore shouldn’t need significant subsidies. Right? And before you shout “oil subsidies!”, stop and think: those, unlike wind, are a tiny fraction of the tax revenues from that same energy source.

Interesting. You were just down-modded for a purely factual statement.

It’s rather telling that someone bothered to mod you down for that. Ironically proving your point that that particular ideology requires dictatorship - here in the form of censorship- to thrive.

I think a general audience is plenty smart enough to see why sarcasm is warranted here. And obviously you think you’re smarter than them, as you clumsily sidestepped the point in full view. No official action was taken, and criticism of the FCC head’s comments was almost as heavy from the right as the left (one suspects you probably aren’t informed enough to know that). and the actual thing you labeled “censorship” was independently decided by Kimmel’s own sponsors - who were understandably aghast at someone in their employ making light of a motivated assassination. The point: the massive assymetry of the situation is key, as is the culpability of a culture that winks at mass censorship and assassination.

That article is exactly why I know you’re making a mountain out of a molehill, then using it to deflect. Your claiming otherwise is obviously a rhetorical deflection intended to self justify deliberately missing the point.

But no worries, there’s quite a bit of desperate mod activity going on to try censor my point. That’s a meta confirmation of that very point, but I’m pretty sure you support it, despite claiming to be against censorship.

Oh. Such genius. So “Musk is a Nazi” is a right wing thing? And someone’s FCC license was removed by Trump? I didn’t know that. I’ve never seen someone get back on the air so fast after baldly and falsely claiming a lead Republican was assassinated by another Republican. That’s brief interlude was certainly horrific though! It’s absolutely comparable to repeated instances of censorship of major news and major thought leaders across virtually all mainstream media and major social media. Sometimes for years. Sure. That’s fine. Cause Republicans are bigoted uneducated religious gun clingers, right? Right? And Bari is a fig leaf for secret cabal, right? Smart!

Bari Weiss is right wing? From what perspective? I mean, she doesn’t buy into the Steele Report, supports free speech, and doesn’t think Musk is a Nazi, but that’s hardly “right wing”. Is it? Or does the left wing club require thinking Musk is a Nazi, supporting censorship, and assuming Trump is a Putin super spy?

Lovely narrative you’ve got there. Keep it up! It makes me you look SMART!

I made a series of assertions, yes. I also supported my assertions. You ignored them, and moved the goalposts.

Let’s just concentrate on the main point. You wrote,

> When the full scale war started in 2022 it was Biden who sent arms

That’s moving the goalposts. The pattern of Democrat urging executive branch appeasement started in 2007 with its presidential candidates openly calling republicans naïve. This subsequently crossed into many vectors (funding Iran, giving Putin a pipeline, no arms shipments, opposing Saudis, opposing Israel, taking Houthis off terrorism lists, etc). Republicans didn’t agree with it then, in the subsequent decades, nor today. They in fact, armed Ukrainians during Trump 1.

Biden then reinstated that appeasement! He literally initially stopped arms shipments by executive order for several months! Only AFTER the Ukrainians initially stopped Putin’s invasion from being fully successful - using mainly Trump 1 weaponry - did Biden fully change his mind.
