Im making roast lemon, and garlic chicken tonight..

We'll have baby potatoes with herbs, and garlic asparaus with mushrooms as sides.

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.

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.

Former President Donald Trump is heavily considering Sen. Tom Cotton as a potential running mate in his 2024 campaign, according to a report from the New York Times.

I hope this is just a rumour. He will not sway indy voters.

Quote from: Garraty_47 on Today at 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.

I never had an issue with Oak during her brief time here or my brief time on SG. I try to the message and not the messenger.

I suppose it might have happened when she discovered, although Trump is far from my ideal president, he is a better option by a factor ot ten than the current occupant of the white house.

Quote from: deport_liberals on May 27, 2024, 04:40:28 AMIf libs are for it I willbe against.  They are on the wrong side of every issue all the time.  And as we see, even when all their enemies are gone they start fighting amongst themselves. Miserable people unable to ever take responsibility for anything.

it's got to the point with me that if a lib actually likes me I'm left wondering what am I doing wrong.

Seriously, hate my fucking guts, it's an honor as far as I'm concerned

I was reading an op-ed by real estate mogul Grant Cardone.

With elevated interest rates and persistently high home prices, American homebuyers have felt firsthand the squeeze on their budgets.

He thinks the savior of America will not be lower prices, it will be longer mortgages. He says we will see mortgages go from 30 to 40, 50 and maybe even 60 years.
