  1. I admit to being an idiot, but I shut up one of these opponents of solar by asking why don't they build a (Solar Reactor) that works 24 hours per day? Step 1: build a solar farm. Step 2: build sand batteries underground to be heated by solar to 1400℉. Step 3: Build a steam generator and water reservoir on top of the sand battery to heat the water to power the steam generator. I've yet to have an engineer tell me why this clean energy solution will not work?

  2. It doesn't matter if the CCP makes a deal with this tribal leader in Pakistan. The CCP still has a major problem with the Sunni Clerics in Saudi Arabia. In 2019, the Clerics issued a warning to the CCP to either release their Uyghur brothers or face the consequences. China said no. This is why Chinese workers and soldiers have been kidnapped and killed in Pakistan and Africa.

  3. I stand by my assessment that Vladimir Putin is ONLY holding on to power because the Oligarchs are allowing him to. Since 1999, there has been a Billionaire class in Russia. They were allowed to have foreign investments and travel the world unimpeded in their private jets. They achieved something their parents and grandparents could NEVER dream or believe was possible. They lived the lifestyle of Billionaires for 20 Years! At the start of this war in Ukraine, Putin guaranteed the ruling Oligarchs that this war was only going to last THREE DAYS! We are now close to the third anniversary of the start of the war! Since the start of the Ukraine war, these Oligarchs have seen their foreign investments and properties seized and sold off. Several of these Oligarchs have been personally sanctioned by the United States, the U.K., and the European Union. Which means that they cannot leave Russia. These Oligarchs want their Billionaire lifestyles back. They are looking for any excuse to remove Putin from power. this might be it. They are the reason why Russia has not used Nuclear weapons. They believe that there is still a chance that things can go back to the way they were before the Ukraine invasion.

  4. Xi tried to purge Jack Ma. The reason why Jack Ma was "disappeared" for 5 months was because Jack Ma started Ant Financial. Then criticized the CCP for not allowing the Chinese people from directly investing in foreign investments.

  5. I've been seeing reports of Sunni fighters, directed by Sunni Wahhabis in Saudi Arabia, going after the CCP, Chinese corporations, and personnel in Pakistan and Africa. The Belt & Road Project has come to a complete stop in Pakistan.

  6. You can always tell when Russia receives a devastating defeat because within a couple of days of that defeat Putin threatens to use nuclear weapons. And this time Putin doubled down by reminding the West that Belarus is amassing troops on the Ukrainian border. It's only a matter of time before the oligarchs remove Putin from power.

  7. No one mentions that Isis and Al Qaeda have declared war on the CCP. The Wahhabi Clerics in Saudi Arabia demanded that the CCP release their Islamic Uyghur brothers or there would be consequences. The CCP said no. So there were attacks on Chinese companies and personnel in Pakistan and Africa. This is one of the reasons why the Belt & Road projects stopped in both. Here's the hilarious part. President Xi actually thought by making a deal with the Saudi Royal Family in 2023 that they could force the Wahhabi Clerics to stop attacking Chinese corporations in Pakistan and Africa. President Xi quickly found out that the Saudi Royal Family has an agreement with the Wahhabi Clerics. If you leave us alone, we leave you alone. The Saudi Royal Family will NOT intervene in the activities of the Wahhabi Clerics in Pakistan or Africa on behalf of China.

  8. Were the Republicans won't mention is that did the energy concerns, the corporations that own these power plants, prefer to use natural gas because they eliminated hundreds of millions in expense by switching over to natural Gas. In order to transport natural gas, all you need is a gas pipe. In order to transport coal to your power plant, your logistical footprint is an ecological nightmare. You can't just take it down any road you want to because there are laws against contamination from coal dust. And wherever you store the cold for the power plant you have to do impact studies every quarter. In other words you have to do soil, air, and water surveys in and around your power plant.

  9.  @matthew8153  You do realize that Canadian conservatives would not vote to support Republican ideology. Primarily, they're anti-gun. And they are opposed to the Christian right. Basically, Canadian conservatives would be a 3rd party.
