    Speaking of climate change. Apparently it is a thing that government entities like Hawaii are suing major oil companies for climate change. "It is hotter, less rainfall, coastal flooding, stronger storms, etc". Their suit was filed in state court where the legal system is climate change...

    I don't get the "they have to work more than 3 hours a day for a few days a week" as the reason they didn't support the SAVE act. What is wrong with ensuring fair voting? There is something I'm missing.

    That is an interesting twist on reality if you think "red line" Obama was strong on anything. Iran actively funded and promoted agression around the middle east regardless of Obama and probably used the billions Obama gave them to fund more killing. "hope and change you can believe in" -...

    I admit I'm not smart enough to opine from afar but once we started this it seems like we had no purpose if we walk away. The regime was always going to fight to the last breath because they are evil and want to protect their asses. They have murdered every person that stands up to them so...

    This opinion piece ends with this: "No regime that survived 39 days of American and Israeli strikes, watched its supreme leader killed, and still declared enrichment non-negotiable is going to surrender that leverage at a table in Islamabad. The real fork is not escalation versus diplomacy. It...

    I know be patient, but I wish they are right on Iran bending the knee. It is hard to imagine that the CIA after 1979 was involved in Iran, but whatever. Iran is the opportunity of a lifetime to change the axis of evil, their people largely want it, and we wait. Fingers crossed.

    This is not only interesting because Calif is the only state stiffing repaying covid era debt to the US to the tune of $21 billion, but that the congressman introducing a bill to make they pay up is a Republican from California. Probably one of those that Newsome gerrymandered out of existence...

    Ukraine is in the news but not very prominently. Apparently the Russians are still attacking hard but the Ukrainians are increasingly hitting back. "For the fifth consecutive month, Russian losses have outpaced the Kremlin’s ability to recruit replacements. Ukraine’s Defence Minister...

    Apparently the UN has dropped its most severe climate change models and Trump is taking note. Interestingly the UN says they had over forecast the use of coal and population growth in these models. I have always believed that these models don't give enough weight to technology...

    I agree. NY Times has jumped the shark. Their reporting is 101% Dems and Mamdani. https://www.foxnews.com/media/protesters-demand-new-york-times-retract-controversial-dog-rape-article-fire-nicholas-kristof

    "I guess it’s good that people are starting to understand that human behavior/consumption impacts the environment. It’s not just ocean cycles. Progress." So you are saying that human behavior is influencing the rainfall over the great plains and Texas? (and Wyoming?) 1) If you research the...

    The issue in the Colorado River Basin is that the snow melt in 2026 is creating 14MAF of water and 70-80% goes to agriculture based on historical usage. California exports 30-50% of water intensive alfalfa grown in the Imperial Valley to China and overseas. Rates they pay are cheap for the...

    RE: Beef prices. Drought is the primary driver of the smaller herd but what drought? 1) Beef raised for consumption is primarily in the great plains states down to Texas. In round numbers, 15-20% comes from the Colorado river basin and about the same from East of the Mississippi. The rest...

    I looked this up (as best one can on the internet) and apparently the Federal tax subsidies for solar are available for commercial sites as long as they are completed by end of 2027. Upstate NY doesn't make a lot of sense because the amount of sunshine. But economics was never the goal with...
