I wanted to know what makes him so antisocial.......but he had too many Donald Trump memes to post.
Imagine the time and energy he expends researching and saving those silly things to his computer?

The guy is a true waste of life.

The only real value a tard like him brings to society is directly relational to his minor impact on the process of photosynthesis

Kevin McCarthy's ghost is haunting House GOPs' next big legislative fight

House lawmakers are jumping into the next big government funding fight with an ambitious schedule to pass all of their spending bills, but they are still constrained by policies instituted under former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.

Several Canadian premiers discussed moving public money away from wind projects that cannot handle our weather to small modular nuclear reactors.......I haven't read heard or read anything more about it for at least two years.

Quote from: Oerdin on May 26, 2024, 11:12:11 AMThat has been a false narrative pushed by the left for years now.  Everyone who disagrees with them on any topic for any reason is some how"the racist dar right".  The reality is the left is the only side supporting racism especially in a systematic manner.
It's so predictable and so dishonest Oerdin..

How can we have a conversation when one side wants to shut down the other with outrageous accusations.

News & Current Events / Sweden dumps renewables target...
Last post by DKG - May 28, 2024, 10:42:24 AM
Sweden's parliament has dumped its 100 per cent renewable target amid ongoing concerns about short-term energy security as it looks to join several European nations to build new nuclear plants.

The country's three operational nuclear power plants with six operational reactors generated around 30 per cent of Sweden's electricity production in 2022.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has forced Europe to turn its focus on energy security has it has tried to wean itself away from Russian gas exports. The EU has positioned itself as a leader in climate policy, targeting a 55 per cent cut in greenhouse gas emissions on 1990s levels by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.

Swedish Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson said the current circumstances had created conditions for nuclear power, despite a decision 40 years ago to phase out the technology.

"We need more electricity production, we need clean electricity and we need a stable energy system," she said.

Vattenfall, Sweden's state-owned utility, plans to build at least two small modular reactors and extend the lifetime of the country's existing nuclear reactors.

The country has among the largest uranium reserves in Europe but has banned uranium mining since 2018. Today its uranium is imported from Canada, Australia and Kazakhstan. The government will also attempt to overturn a ban and several legislative hurdles over where it can build new plants.

The International Energy Agency has consistently warned a steep decline in nuclear energy capacity would threaten climate goals and power supply security unless advanced economies found a way to extend the lifespan of their reactors

Environmental campaigners, including Greens MPs, have criticised the recent changes to Sweden's energy policy, saying it clashes with the country's previous identity as a climate leader.

The Swedish government has promised generous loan guarantees because it believes new reactors are essential to power the shift towards net-zero emissions.

Throughout Europe, there has been a pause on the rush to unreliable wind and solar. Sweden is blessed with an abundance of hydroelectric capabilities. Nuclear can safely and reliably supply the remainder of the nation's electricity needs whereas wind and solar cannot.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on May 28, 2024, 10:28:59 AMThe size of Bernie's rallies (especially in 2016) would beg to differ. Yes he consistently brought up a handful of issues but that's part of what made him appealing: his rhetorical consistency. It was only when his rhetoric was exposed as hollow and insincere that it lost much of its power to energize people.
Same with Trump, but I don't think he is a particularly gifted orator either.

Both of them appeal to voters who feel the duopoly(as you call it) has abandoned them.
