  2.  @shravankumardebbad6620  "US started the war not Russia. Stop watching tv" And got Sweden and Finland to join NATO. On account of the US starting the war.

  4.  @zxcvbnm9541  " Solar already has much greater eroi than oil." Not if you count the batteries required to make it dispatchable and a 24 hour source. For transportation it requires more dead weight. Currently, doubling the range of an IC powered car (15 gal tank). Is about 250 lbs of added weight. Doubling battery range means adding at least a ton of batteries, currently.

  5. Less child abuse would help. Addiction is a symptom of PTSD says Nobel Prize Winner in Medicine Eric Kandel in his book, "The Disordered Mind." Dr. Lonny Shavelson found that 70% of female heroin addicts were sexually abused in childhood.

  7.  @fazdoll  "The few that were left joined Kamala out of spite." As soon as Kamala adopted Liz Cheney I knew she was done. Because Liz was already done. Not to mention "I have joined the warmongers".

  11.  @MartinMcMartin  That is what the Germans and Japanese thought. America in a two front war? Yippeeeee.

  12.  @KevinLyda  Probably not. The RUSH to AE is premature. The technology is very undeveloped. Which means a lot of waste as the stuff rushed into service gets replaced.

  14. "Russian imperialism" - good to see it called out.

  15. Economies of scale also help the required 90% backup generators. We get to build every bit of the grid power supplies twice. I see a great future for at least doubling grid capital costs.

  16.  @davydawgdawg  No doubt the Israelis offered a better price. The Gaza merchants sold it. Keeping it from the residents.

  18.  @Skinhead_Stan  "with the disaster of the Yom Kippur War in 1972." Where they eventually beat back the attack. And emerged victorious. What makes you think this will be different?

  19.  @autobootpiloot  Water vapor is a greenhouse gas equal to CO2 according to theory. There is on average 50 times as much in the atmosphere as CO2. There are still no proposals for draining the oceans. Water vapor is not persistent? According to the theory water vapor's lack of persistence in the atmosphere (rain) means WV only counts for heating, not for evaporating more water vapor. Which is absurd because heating causes evaporation. The theory is bunk.

  20.  JackSmith-mk1ru  It is intentional. America funds the gangsters with Prohibition. We learned that game from Alcohol Prohibition. There is lots of money to be made persecuting people in pain. The people in pain will pay anything.

  26. "the precise criteria for invoking Article 3 of the 14th amendment." is in in Article 5 of the 14th amendment. Clever of the original writers to do it that way.

  39.  @spoddie  Well you may need to talk to grid OPERATORS about keeping the electricity on 24/7. Alternative energy requires 90% backup. Or as another commenter (domtweed7323) in this thread has noted - a weeks worth of backup (stored hydro was his favorite). Which means doubling the generating plant (backup has to = what was backed up). Of course it is not applied on an individual project basis. But it is applied. When and where rolling blackouts must be avoided.

  61.  @carlthor91  Peter, is a reliable energy supply creature.

  62.  @jmpattillo  The power company doesn't get paid retail for power generation. Why should you? It means you are getting service (reliability) you didn't pay for. They want you to pay. Seems fair to me.

  63. Prohibition supports the cartels. Prohibition is a government program. The Government supports the cartels. Any questions?

  64. I have been saying this for a while. Good to see Peter picking it up. ==>. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s.

  65.  @IA100KPDT  Scrupulous attention to detail is an important habit in semiconductor production. "Cheap Chinese knockoff" is a sign of the cultural deficit in that area of habit.

  66.  @nicolasolton  First they must learn the disadvantages of authoritarian systems. One man can not provide all the decisions required. Operational systems are semi-directed and goal oriented. Authoritarian systems are rule based. There are never enough rules.
    2
  67. The Ukrainians have a big advantage. The Russian Genocide of Ukraine in the 1930s. It has been known for 90 years. And that does not count Russia dismembering Poland with the Nazis. Trump sent 59 armed Tomahawk missiles to a Russian base in Syria at the beginning of his term. They exploded on contact. Vlad took no territory for 4 years. - Trump understood. Clearly.
    2
  68.  @alexarjona1692  No major wars, not much inflation. Even normal people are starting to want that. That makes Trump very dangerous. Normal people are staring to like him.
    2
  69.  @Alopen-xb1rb  " current popularity will fade with everyone outside his base as he gets more attention. " People remember few wars and low inflation and want none of that. Trumps policies were awful.
    2
  70. Read Putin's "Historical Russia" speeches. He has been giving them since 2019. NATO was always an excuse. The REASON was always a Soviet Reunion. Under different management. Or you can consult with Lenin about Russia. The Russian Empire: 'prison house of nations' - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, 1914
    2
  71. Prohibition is a government program. The cartels are sponsored by the government. Your aim is off. Try closer to home.
    2
  72. War is NEVER just for a reason. The Israelis would like to discourage a repeat by making it EXTREMELY unprofitable.
    2
  73. And we help them stay in business with Prohibition. Most addiction is caused by child abuse. Prohibition can't fix that.
    2
  74. Probably not. Plants are designed to operate at a specific temperature. What are the odds geothermal is that hot? Zero - roughly. All those wires will need to be made and strung. Do you have a logistics estimate? Costs? Roll out speed? etc.

  75.  @williammeek4078  How long would the payback be without subsidies? That is the REAL measure.

  77. Peace and low inflation are not issues. ?????

  78. Which means doubling the capital costs.

  79. Building a military fortress under a densely populated area shows a desire for genocide. No civilian shelters were built.

  80.  @mbern4530  Currently subsidies drive green energy. Subsidy = waste. Current green energy increases waste. Over and above the mineral issues.

  88.  @AlldatJazz-rw9wy  Updated by the UN. The Palis went to war with the aim of drowning the "occupiers". They lost the war and territory. They would have had more territory if they had chosen peace. And now they are doing it again. Working to start and lose another war.

  94. Very good on #2. An obvious Russian weakness from the start. Logistics is very difficult in war. Russians have never been good at it. Americans celebrate it. "The Red Ball Express". One of Eisenhower's finest victories.

  95.  @stephenbrickwood1602  Neither have given the matter any study. They believe in "addictive drugs". An impossibility. Receptor science (100+ years old) says there are NO addictive drugs. Drugs fill receptors. What empties receptors (injury, PTSD) causes a desire for pain relieving drugs. Drugs CAN'T cause addiction. People take pain relievers to relieve pain. Running a war based on lies. Your Federal Government in action.

  116.  @KevinLyda  "Perfection is the enemy of progress." So is "not good enough"
    1
  117.  @KevinLyda  Uh. No. For an electrical system to work the power has to be dispatchable. That means wind and solar require batteries. With batteries at current prices wind and solar are not affordable. The high peaks you report require shutting down base load generators - wasting money and the plant. I was a big proponent of wind around 2000. Then I started looking deeper. Wind electricity is low cost. Until it has to be dispatchable. In the Navy I used to run Nuclear Reactors. I know some about the grid. BTW Germany imports a LOT of electricity from Poland. Poland is Germany's backup. Very convenient for cooking the books.
    1
  118.  @KevinLyda  How does Germany keep its lights on if there is a week with low wind and sun? It has fuel burning back ups. It needs about double the plant with AE. AE + backup. With the backup only required occasionally. Very expensive.

  123. Intermittent and unreliable is no way to go through life. And we might get an electric supply that can go for days or weeks with insufficient input. Or pay a lot for batteries. Have you done the math? It doesn't add up with current technology. And suppose we find the planet needs the wind more than we do? Or that only rooftop solar makes ecological sense. Then what?

There are theories that the Earth has lots of deep methane and oil. And that it is always bubbling up - old fields get refilled. There is some evidence for this. Not to mention methane asteroids and planets.

  214.  @badart3204  If drugs don't cause addiction (trauma does) then no one has to be kept away from them except children. I would suggest that allowing opiates for PTSD would solve the problem and keep the drugs under a doctors supervision.

  222.  @whenuakitekid  From what I gather the Ukrainians detest the Russians and WANT to defeat them militarily. The goal is a repeat of 1917. With the further result of the disintegration of the Russian Federation - a LOT of new countries. There may be significant changes of heart - after the war is over. I do not expect to see such a change as long as Russian drones are hitting Kyiv. Kyiv not Moscow will be the leader of Eastern Europe. You can see it forming already.
