  1. Sure, we should keep researching better power storage, like we have been since the '60s. But, in the meantime, our best method is nuclear power, followed by natural gas. Fareed isn't advocating stopping that research, just realism about the facts. Sanders seems allergic to the truth.

  2. They watched the American public elect a disaster last time, and don't want a repeat.

  3. Didn't you listen? Sanders hates the best alternatives. We can't do it based upon emotion.
    4
  4. You didn't listen. Clearly Fareed cares, but is being realistic. Without a better storage solution, wind and solar are not enough. But Sanders is stupid, stubborn and hate nuclear power.

  5. Impervious to the truth, no wonder you support a liar.

  6. Fareed tells a little truth, but you can't handle it an call him names. You remind me of a religious nut, so sure you're right that facts and logic cannot penetrate. Listen with an open mind, and you'll see Fareed is correct.

  7. Scientists have been trying to develop better power storage since the '60s. They aren't stopping, but only a fool would count on it in ten years.

  8.  CD Smith  Sanders has very vague plans because he has no answers. He only has promises he will never deliver, like Trump.

  9. People have been trying since before you were born. It's not going to magically happen in ten years.

  10. No, he said that Sanders thoughtlessly rejects the solutions.

  11. And it kills the fish, which is why it is being taken out in so many places. Plus, not all places are blessed with the rushing water we have in the Pacific Northwest. Anyplace that could produce hydro-electric power already is. As to Hanford, that was '30s technology. We have much better now. There is this young genius that has proven the safety and efficacy of mini plants, the size of a barn.

  12. We have been, all my long life.

  13. Sanders is just like Trump, no wonder their followers are so alike. Don't listen to the facts, just call names. And Pete is the front runner.

  14. NO, his take was Sanders ignores the facts that we don't have the means of storing that power. And he points out Sanders blindly ignores the two best means we have of constant power production. You didn't do well in science, did you?
    2
  15. And will not be developed to produce much at all in ten years.

  16. Pointing out the flaws in someone's lies is not bashing. Just because you don't like truth, doesn't mean we should fire the ones who deliver it.

  17. No, that is false. We've thrown tons of money at the problem of energy storage, since the '60s. Still not good answers.

  18. Nuclear power is the answer.

  19. Yes, they don't like lying demagogues.

  20. Pete is ahead.

  21. Hardly intelligent, when it ignores the facts in favor of lies.

  22. No, it was based upon science, which is the opposite of magical thinking.

  23. So educated, informed people are "establishment". You have made the world's best hope the other, and are free to behave like a rabid mob. Take a look at yourselves, you behave just like Trump's cult, afraid of the truth, and angry when it shown to you.

  24. From Europe, where they have nuclear power, a solution Sanders won't even look at. I don't look at someone with a closed mind for vision.

  25. For being too liberal. Yes.

  26. Or that he loves America, and doesn't want another fact free fool taking it over.

  27.  @dookiehoser3051  Rejecting the best solution is not "thinking outside the box". It is stupid obstinacy. So you hate the truth, because it shows your idols clay feet, and call it names.

  28.  @garr6633  Did you not listen?
    1
  29. Then you weren't listening.

  30. The other candidates have realistic plans to address climate change. You fools are like religious zealots, damn the facts, I know I'm right.

  31.  @roc7880  She can't read what doesn't exist. Maybe you should look at Sanders' speeches, where he advocates seizing the means of production. They exist. I guess he'll start with energy.

  32. You sound like Trump.
    1
  33. Sanders has intelligent people scared of the stupidity of his cult.
    1
  34. You didn't listen. Nuclear power is the solution.
    1
  35. NO WE CAN'T.

  36. In faithful service to the truth. Sorry your mind is closed.

  37.  @mellakat80  It doesn't matter how much wind or solar energy we can produce if we can't store it. Scientists have been working to develop better power storage since the '60s, but we don't have it yet, and we won't in ten years. Only a fool counts on something that doesn't exist. We could build safe nuclear plants. One young genius came up with a mini plant that is very promising. But, Sanders stubbornly refuses to consider it. Why would you vote for someone so blindly stubborn?

  38. Brought to you by people capable of critical thinking.

  39. Like you weren't already a rabid fan.

  40. Nobody declared you can't have better power storage, Fareed just, truthfully, said it doesn't exist. Now may take, as I've seen research for better power storage start well before I entered college, in the '70s, and have seen it continue, with small advances till today, we won't have the necessary storage in ten years. Rather than assume the impossible, utilize what we have, nuclear power.

  41. You said that before, and yet here you are.

  42. You go on and stay impervious to the truth. Be a good little robot,. just like Trump fans.

  43. No the alternative is nuclear power. Listen next time.

  44. It ignores the truth, it's magical thinking.
    1
  45. He was advocating nuclear power, that's not fossil.

  46. False. The magical thinking (religion) was what made science so difficult to develop. Once we put the magical thinking behind us, and looked at the world with unblinded eyes, technology developed. Sanders is another false prophet.
