RodB liked Steve N's post in the thread Maxine Waters Unhinged: 'Right-Wing Organizations' Are 'Training Up in the Hills Somewhere'.
This is a pretty good article about the one and only Mad Max. She said right wingers are training in the hills and the author points out how the left wing MSNBC host doesn't...

With 99% certainty, yes, that is what it means.

RodB liked 19Crib's post in the thread Trump to judge who threatened to toss him in jail over gag order: 'Give me liberty or give me death'.
The legal community is saying the gag order is unconstitutional. The other issue is prosecution witnesses are allowed to go on social media and say what they want, even as in...

RodB liked Fangbeer's post in the thread Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds.
You've oversimplified the claim, and I don't think you're fully grasping the problem I'm attempting to communicate. I have not ignored entropy. I am not ignoring the fact...

Some knowledgeable guy who can do math. One you have to cover your acreage with solar panels or build a 100 foot windmill, the other you have to dig a 100 foot well or two.

RodB replied to the thread Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds.
That is true but ignores the logistics. It is possible to put a gas fired generator in the middle of a big city adjacent to where the users are and lose very little in the...

RodB liked Mushroom's post in the thread Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds.

It has been estimated that for solar to provide all of today's electric power in the US it would require about 22,000 square mile of solid solar panel surface, about equivalent...

You may be correct. I don't think it changes the point, however. No, it doesn't.

Super posts but, if I may, it seems you have albedo and absorption percentages turned around. The average albedo is around 30%, not 70%
May 8, 2024 at 12:02 PM -
RodB replied to the thread Nuclear energy is more expensive than renewables, CSIRO report finds.
My understanding is that the global average albedo reflects about 30% of the sun's radiation back into space. This changes materially as clouds form, most of which reflect sun...

Sorry, no, it's a total lie. A bribe is payment for a specific action - list the action and the amount.

The "two known justices who can be bribed (Thomas and Alito)" is an over the top hyperbole and inanity.
