That's very true also. But I read about some exciting developments in wind power that doesn't use big blades. Some look like a big snow cone and can catch wind from any direction. And Can be serviced at ground level.

That is not going to change any of the numbers significantly at scale and it also doesn't address the real cost that you really can't eliminate capacity as the generation is a wild card and storage. Wind is generally very stupid at scale, solar is just stupid at scale - this comes from someone that generates power. Most of these generation methods are losers as a generalization depending on the application and requirements. I don't see anything in the immediate future to change this.

Modern civilization runs by cheap and readily available energy, this ain't it - nothing wrong with some very small investment in it but its still a loser for the foreseeable future.

Not only would this be THE story if it happened under a Dem president, there would also be stories about how this was some grand conspiracy to p*ssify men by depriving them of red meat and forcing them to use vegetarian products instead. But under Trump, the sheep don't care.

Talk to Denmark.

By what means do you generate power?

It really is the wildest times when this is barely a story:

This dude is a speech writer for the DHS (and he worked for the Interior for 45) and he's a psycho advocate of Great Replacement and has views like this:

In one post from 2023 he shared a video of thousands of people protesting against Israel’s war on Gaza, and wrote:

“Cars are bigger and heavier than any one of these freaks. All it takes is one brave driver to do what needs to be done, then others will follow.”

His X account follows 88 accounts (code for heil Hitler)

“They are not migrants. They are not ‘undocumented.’ They are an invading army. The largest invasion in American history,” one post stated in May 2023. “And what are you supposed to do with an invading army? Crush it, by any means necessary. That’s the #AmericaFirst way.”

“I will keep calling them t******* because I know it’s derogatory, and I know they freakin’ hate it. That’s why I deadname them. That’s why I use their original pronouns,” he said. “You control the language. Don’t give these freaks an inch on the language.”

"But Obama once wore a tan suit, which broke a long-standing norm. Your post just makes it clear that both parties will break long-standing norms when they're in power. There's really no difference between the two." - @Weezer

Oh, let's not make fun of wasteful spending and disruption to lives by our wise overlords, because that would just be too cynical for the politics forum.

Maybe you are terrible at communication.

Let's evaluate:
- nothing in the post about wasteful spending
- nothing about overlord wisdom
- an opinion on the disruption you imagine. Maybe it is a disruption. But, 'Splain to me what members of the NG do on the mandated days of service when they aren't deployed domestically or otherwise?

AI Overview

A typical National Guard commitment involves an initial training period for 8–12 weeks, followed by a commitment of one weekend per month and two weeks of annual training for several years. The total enlistment contract, also known as a military service obligation, is usually 8 years. However, options exist to serve a shorter period (e.g., 3–5 years) in an active unit, with the remaining years spent in the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) where monthly drills and annual training are not required but a national emergency activation is still possible

Talk to them all, they are all paying huge amounts of money for the generation plus all the other issues they are having. Saying talk to Denmark isn't a discussion, talk to math. Solar, and we use wood for heating. For most mass applications and even micro, solar is a waste as well, wind is on a whole other level of stupid.

You can invest in solar and wind but most likely the ROI will be massively negative, its all government or public money to support the much higher prices.

Is there a subject that you actually have some type of knowledge, there has to be something.

I think everyone is just immune to the high prices because Bidenflation caused everything to be so expensive. Now gas prices are down and everything else seems to have stabilized. Hopefully the prices of everything else will begin to creep down towards pre Bidenflation prices but it's always been much faster to raise prices than to bring them down. Lower gas prices is a good start though and that drives the prices of just about everything so Drill Baby Drill!

As for the tariffs, the Fed basically admitted that they had little effect on inflation when they signaled a rate cut coming. Sorry for the inconvenient truth.........

No, I think you got the point. The point was to be cynical about the stupidity of our government. IDK why you're being weird about it.

The guys from TN have been there for over 2 weeks. I believe usually their time served is in their own communities on a weekend, hopefully doing way more useful things.

In addition to not posting clearly, you aren't thinking clearly then.

Is it weird to reply to a post of yours??? Calling out partisanship is as old as the board.

Still would like to hear what you know about a NG service person's activities when they aren't being used politically...you know, since it is disruptive to their lives, and family, and work.
