Trading reliable, efficient electricity producers for a political agenda
Trading reliable, efficient electricity producers for a political agenda
"...The state rewards inefficient and unreliable wind and solar energy at the expense of superior sources such as the Cheswick Generating Station, whose September closure will kill jobs and increase families’ energy bills.
...“In earlier years wind and solar capacity was built to meet states’ renewable portfolio standards (subsidy programs), but by 2018 about 80 percent was being built by investors looking to harvest federal tax credits,” he explained.
In an analysis by the business-labor coalition Pittsburgh Works Together (PWT), Cheswick compared favorably to a solar farm proposed for Mount Joy Township, Adams County.

Establishment Media Attempt to Clean up Biden Afghan Mess
Establishment Media Attempt to Clean up Biden Afghan Mess:
The establishment media published positive headlines after President Joe Biden fully withdrew from Afghanistan on Monday, leaving billions of dollars worth of abandoned military equipment and up to 200 stranded American citizens in the country.
“Last troops exit Afghanistan, ending America’s longest war,” the Associated Press’ (AP) upbeat headline read Tuesday.

CDC's Mission Confusion - Betsy McCaughey
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a guide last week for "Inclusive Communication," cautioning against using words like prisoner, smoker, illegal immigrant, disabled or homeless, which the agency says could imply blame or stigma.
The guide's opening line says, "We must confront the systems and policies that have resulted in the generational injustice that has given rise to health inequities."
The CDC is now about fighting injustice, not disease.
The agency says instead of gender-specific pronouns like him or her, use "they," even when referring to one person.
And talk about "parents" or "expectant parents" instead of mothers or fathers...Read all!

Reporter Asks Jen Psaki if America is Safer after withdrawal - Louder With Crowder:
Handing over weapons to one's enemy is not ideal. Yet due to the nature of the United States' withdrawal from Afghanistan, the USA did just that. I guess I shouldn't say the "USA" there. Since I didn't gift the Taliban American weapons. You didn't gift the Taliban American weapons. At least not directly. There's a meme going around essentially saying if you're a taxpayer, you've funded the Taliban. Kind of true. Memes aside, who DID bequeath weapons to the Taliban was Joe Biden and his band of merry dimwits. Since American weapons are rather effective, the question of safety for Americans and other nations was brought up in light of the tribal Taliban now having cutting edge weaponry. NBC's Peter Alexander lobbed the question at Jen Psaki, who dodged left, right and center.
How Many Union Members Does It Take To Operate a Train?
How Many Union Members Does It Take To Operate a Train?
- Labor unions have been lobbying federal regulators to mandate that all freight trains operate with two-person crews in the cab. But automation renders this largely pointless.
"President Joe Biden's proposed $2.25 trillion infrastructure spending bill is more than just a huge barrel of federal cash for road, bridge, and rail projects.
It is also a vehicle for reauthorizing America's surface transportation laws, providing an opportunity for special interests to write new rules and mandates into federal policy.
While most of those niche fights are unremarkable, the one shaping up between the railroad industry and its labor unions presents an interesting conundrum for the Biden administration, and it could have significant ramifications for the economy and even for efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
At issue: How many people does it take to drive a train?...Read all.

Scientists continue to push false info about benefits of Covid-19 vaccine in people who had Covid | Sharyl Attkisson
"The same false information that top immunization advisers and officials at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) promulgated months ago somehow worked its way into an article in the medical journal Science published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
The information incorrectly claimed, once again, that a new study showed people with natural immunity to Covid-19 after infection benefit further if they still get vaccinated, anyway.
The writer of the article appeared to use the misinformation to try to undercut the findings of the large study in Israel that found natural immunity is far superior to vaccination in preventing Covid-19....

Glenn Beck: 'Thank you for giving me my HOPE in the future back' - TheBlaze:
"I told you there's no way this happens unless God is present. If this happens, it is because God has opened up doors," Glenn began. "Everyone would tell us it can't be done. It can be done. And if we serve others, if we keep our eyes and our hearts open to suffering of others and get out of our suffering, we will solve problems that people will say can't be solved. You will see miracles in your lifetime ... it will be a Moses-style miracle and it happened because of you. Don't you dare give up hope," he added.

"The “climate emergency” appears to have died, far out on the scientific frontier.
Word of this death has yet to reach the mainstream.
Professors William van Wijngaarden (Canada) and William Happer (USA) have published some extremely important research on the radiation saturation of the major greenhouse gases.

Professors William van Wijngaarden (Canada) and William Happer (USA) have published some extremely important research on the radiation saturation of the major greenhouse gases.
...These results strongly suggest that the dangerous multi-degree warming assumed by the climate emergency simply cannot occur.
Is CO2 significantly impotent?
This should now be a major research question.
...But in the meantime it looks like the so-called climate emergency is dead.
It has been killed by a big breakthrough in radiation physics.
The greenhouse effect does not work the way the scary computer models have all assumed, instead it is dominated by saturation.

Psaki Responds on Bored POTUS Checking Watch at Dover - Louder With Crowder:
Joe Biden's communications team needs to be blacklisted from ever working in communications. It's astounding how terrible they are at this. Or, they figure since most in the media are on their side, they'll never be accountable for their idiocy. Exhibit Q is whoever thought it was a good idea for Joe Biden to make it all about his son Beau Biden — you may not have heard, but Beau died — when talking to GOLD STAR FAMILIES AS THEY WATCH THEIR FALLEN LOVED ONES BE TAKEN OFF A MILITARY TRANSPORT. You would think after Biden got called out by a pregnant widow of one of the fallen Marines, the White House would drop it. Yet here is Jen Psaki, using Beau — you may not have heard, but Beau died — to avoid questions about angry Gold Star families.

Marine Officer Bears Soul about Feckless Leadership in Afghanistan
"US Marine Corps Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller has been Relieved (Fired) of command after (Having the RIGHT opinion) he posted a video online questioning the feckless military leaders' handling of the situation in Afghanistan.
Scheller had posted a video to his Facebook page on Thursday stating: "People are upset because their senior leaders let them down and none of them are raising their hands and accepting accountability or saying, 'we messed this up.'"
The Marine officer -- who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq -- said in the video he was "willing to throw it all away" to publicly "demand accountability" from military leadership.
