Comment "Non political speech" (Score 1) 108

It sounds so innocuous - only non political speech is limited.

Sorry to say that the CCP, like all communist parties, takes a very broad view of what constitutes political speech. It goes well beyond "replacing the CCP or making porn"

That even you admit that the CCP finds "making porn" to be a political act is telling.

"Solar’s big problem: It generates power only when the sun shines. Wind power, similarly, works only with wind. So displacing fossil fuels could require cheaper ways to store energy. And the more renewables in the power-transmission grid, the more the grid will need to be rebuilt to accommodate those special characteristics.

That inefficiency is why the IEA forecasts the amount of power solar generates to rise to only 11% of the world’s total by 2040, around half that of coal or natural gas."

Comment Face the truth about "non-profits" (Score 1) 148

Your assumption of pure motives from a "non-profit" advocacy group is unjustified. The management of "friends of the earth" get paid too, and the more donations they bring in the more secure and comfortable their position will be. They have direct financial interest in motivating donors with urgent calls for action.

Remember that the only difference between for profit and so call "non-profit" enterprises is that the former has a class of people ("owners") who have a claim on their profits. Non-profits must bring in the dough to continue in operation just like a for profit business. The real difference is that, without owners, those in control of non-profits have more latitude in directing the resources of the enterprise to their own benefit.
