    That was more about wind, and yes, wind turbines are great, but there's a lot of NIMBY resistance whenever and wherever they want to dot the landscape with honking big pinwheels.

    Solar is a dud all around. Even if it's cheaper to install, it's still a maintenance and switching nightmare, and it generates too little power too unreliably.

    Explain how there are 25 million cases with 98% untested?

    And there you have it. A perfect example of someone being called out for using a bullshit stat and their subsequent refusal to acknowledge said bullshit.

    The testing is done outside of the hospital protocol for people without symptoms. The testing is for asymptomatic population to determine treatment strategies. Did anyone ever tell you that ? An obviously sick person is not much of a danger....why are you so poorly informed ? The testing IS NOT FOR THE SICK PEOPLE. IT COMES INTO PLAY FOR those without symptoms and recovering. So, have you Ben tested 10 times ?

    I've advocated a lowering of gas taxes, taxing batteries and apply taxes to charging stations including home stations and then a federal excise tax on tires. And of course end the federal subsidy for electric vehicles altogether. Let the market decide.

    We always subsidize new and better energy sources as few businesses can afford the investments and longer term gains

    we do it for oil now.

    Are you afraid of solar energy ? Doesn’t it frighten you ?

    You’re laughing at yourself. You don’t even know how dufus your statements are
    You know nothing about disease control do you. In the medical community Obviously sick people are immediately quarantined. An asymptomatic person carrier is hundreds of times more dangerous.

    No kidding, dagosa.

    The statement that you responded to was one of the biggest self-owns that I have seen in awhile.

    Biden is doing Putin's bidding. Russia is a country whose economy is 60% reliant on fossil fuels. The best hope for them is if we stop kicking their asses by being the number one producer of fossil fuels in the world. Now we know why Hunter got that $3.5M from Yelena Baturina.

    Biden, Putin's bitch!

    You are confused. You are confusing the testing done in hospitals to monitor patients obviously ill and The testing protocol for those asymptomatic not obviously ill and in the general population. The most problematic are those in the general population. By your own admission we are only testing 1.9% of those people. You seen to want to include obviously ill people who are hospitalized or being quarantined . The new infection rates by a huge margin are driven by asymptomatic people who spread the disease unknowingly who must be tested at higher rates. That’s one of the primary goals of the Biden admin, to increase test in the general population. If you don’t care about science, it means nothing to you.....

    Great explanation.

    People either accept FACTS, or they don't.
    People either get it, or they don't.

    You can lead a horse to water, etc.

    By my own admission??? No. That 1.9% stat is bullshit. You provided it by saying 19 in 1000. And now you are trying to explain your error by talking about general population vs hospital testing. Nice try, but no dice. Your wrong and you use bullshit stats.

    It frightens me because it's ridiculously inefficient and it only exists because of taxpayer money subsidies and clueless leftists who keep throwing gobs of taxpayer money at it even though it requires ridiculous amounts of expensive manpower and manufacturing pollution to make it squeeze out a tiny amount of actual useful energy.

    That doesn't frighten you why?

    No, it only frightens scared a$$ conservatives. Why ? Who knows. They're just naturally fearful people I bet.

    Oil only exists in its present form due to subsidies. You’re not whining about that because you pay less then 3 bucks a gallon for gas. It’s normal it seems for the right to pull this double standard sht. LNG was subsidized, coal was subsidized beginning in 1932. But gee, renewables are scary.

    Am sure most conservatives have a cell phone and like most have NO idea how it works. They’d be scared sht less if they actually knew. Come to think of it, the internet is subsidized. Ha ha.
