    Just a new phase. In 1965, Democrats perpetuated poverty by plucking fathers out of the poor, mostly minority households. In 2035, Democrats plan to strip independence from poor, mostly minority households, so they couldn't commute to a job if they wanted to. Fascists will be fascists.

    The U.K. in recent weeks has been getting just over half of their totl electricity needs generated by wind power. We are getting closer to the goal of attaining clean energy sources by the year 2050.Electric powered vehicles will be a major contributor.

    Of the two of us, I'm the one who worked in the nuclear / coal power plant design company for 15 years before the geniuses who loved coal buried the nuclear division I started in. Not many of us know that the Intermountain Power Project in SLC, Utah is operated by and supplies Los Angeles. As a manager for the company that designed the boiler, I visited the plant as it was being completed.

    Don't try to brainwash people who don't know that Governor Brownout's ignorance of science played havoc with the grid. For the same reason, Gavin Newsome is responsible for the rolling blackouts ,,, because ideology trumped science.

    Meanwhile in the rest of the world, China and India are set to dwarf America's emissions in the next decade. If their combined output is 30 GT in a decade while America's is 4, what have you accomplished? The answer is a great wealth transfer from the middle/working class to the elites and the loss of cheap transportation for the proles. You certainly have accomplished nothing with regards to Carbon emissions.

    Europe is far ahead of us in switching to clean energy sources and we are ahead of some other countries but global warming doesn't play favorites it is world wide and having negative effects everywhere. We are seeing negative weather effects cost to coast here as are most countries throughout the world. The fight to try to reverse these trends is in every countries best interests.

    Propane is an aftermarket modification. UPS use propane for their city delivery trucks. Hydrogen isn’t there yet, but it’s coming.

    Yep California has rolling blackouts now. There isn't enough acreage to make enough solar plants and windmills to supply electricity to convert there entire auto fleet to electricity.

    The blackouts are in response to the forest fires, which they need to eliminate. They need to bury power lines in the highly fire prone areas.

    When they run out of power between Yankee Blade and Crescent Valley Nevada, they'll understand then.
