The Ongoing Fiction of Cheap Wind and Solar - Vijay Jayaraj

Those claiming that wind and solar energy are cheaper than fossil fuels should be writing scripts for science fiction dramas.

• The metric used to perpetuate the wind and solar fantasy is the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), a deeply flawed tool that masks the real costs of these energy sources whose ability to perform is subject to the weather and time of day.
• Designed to deceive, LCOE creates a mirage that has seduced many a foolhardy policymaker...
• By ignoring critical factors like reliability, infrastructure and subsidies, LCOE paints a deceptively rosy picture, leaving consumers footing a far higher bill than advertised.
• LCOE treats all electricity as equal. A kilowatt-hour produced at 2 a.m. is valued the same as one at 9 a.m., even though demand and value are vastly different at these times. In real life, electricity at peak demand is far more valuable than off-peak power...

Yes, these people...vote!

BlazeTV's 'The Coverup' reveals how the corporate media became 'proxies for the national security apparatus' | Blaze Media: 

Kibbe credited the Twitter Files for revealing that a nonprofit organization had been "groom[ing] reporters to sing from the same song sheet and suppress stories before they even happened." Taibbi stated that a group of the country's most prominent national security reporters were invited in 2016 to "war game what would happen if a story about Hunter Biden and Burisma and a laptop came out." "This was months before the story came out," Taibbi said,

Union goonery at its worst!-----Michigan Caregivers Sue to Block Forced Union Representation

State is violating the law to benefit the SEIU AnnMarie Pariseau

• MIDLAND, Mich. — Family home caregivers Tammy Martin and Dick Sullivan have filed a lawsuit to stop an unlawful attempt by the state of Michigan to force them and thousands of others to join a union...

“This case is about stopping the state from forcing union representation on people who never asked for it,” said Patrick Wright, vice president for legal affairs at the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation. 

“Tammy and Dick aren’t public employees — they’re family caregivers. 

The government has no right to assign them to a union simply because it wants to boost union rolls and bank accounts...

“Caring for my son isn’t a job — it’s my life,” added Tammy Martin, mother of a 24-year-old son with mitochondrial disease. “The state can’t just pretend I’m a government employee to justify handing me over to a union who doesn’t have any power to affect my rights.”...

Watch: Sulking Chuck Schumer in Denial on the Senate Floor After Booming GDP Report

Watch: Sulking Chuck Schumer in Denial on the Senate Floor After Booming GDP Report: 

It’s almost as if Democrats are rooting for the U.S. to fail.

This is reminiscent of the egg-price fiasco when Trump began his second term. When the price of eggs finally fell, Democrats had to move on to another topic.

For every problem Trump fixes or takes charge of, there’s always another issue to complain about.

Sugar is Sugar is Sugar — Part 2 Kip Hansen

Considering that High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) is just sugar water, with a similar composition to table sugar, why is it vilified?

Villainizing HFCS is an outgrowth of the more general War on Sugar...

• “Even the two scientists who first propagated the idea of a unique link between high-fructose corn syrup and America’s soaring obesity rates have gently backed off from their initial theories...

Already a quarter billion in the hole, woke Denver wants to keep digging | the Aspen beat

Denver is in financial trouble. 

They ran a $50 million deficit this year, which is projected to balloon to $200 million next year. 

• Real-world entities would address this problem with a combination of (1) increasing their revenues and (2) decreasing their expenses.

But Denver is not a real-world entity. 

It’s a government entity. 

• It plans to do what governments do in government-world: It plans to borrow money.

A lot of it. 

• They’re putting on the ballot a bond proposal amounting to almost a billion dollars. 
• By the time the bonds are paid off with interest years down the road, it would amount to nearly two billion...

Democrats face 'lowest' favorability ratings 'on record,' says CNN's Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten

Enten said the Democrats are the furthest underwater they have ever been since the 1990s. - Nicole Silverio
“I mean, my God. We mentioned CNN, we had that poll come out a little while ago on their net favorable rating,” Enten said. 

“They are 26 points underwater. 

• You think that’s low enough? 
• How about we go even lower, we’ll go to this side of the screen. 

We go to The Wall Street Journal, -30 points. 

Their lowest on record. 

• These polls have records going all the way back to the 90s, and when it comes to the Democratic Party’s net favorable rating, and both The Wall Street Journal and the CNN poll, the Democratic Party is breaking records in the way that you don’t want to break records.”

Media kinda burying this, doncha think?
