The govt and the predators and criminals.

This is what enrages me. 20 people died, over a cellphone. No calls for banning cellphones though.

Constantly I read the constitution and the federalist papers and never fail to marvel at the foresight of our founders and framers. They knew the right to keep and bear arms would come under constant assault and so made it a part of the bill of rights, knowing also that they had built-in...

Sure you can.

Universities, think tanks, private industry - all have been trying to crack this nut for at least 100 years and still are. Worldwide, not just us. Again, nobody's argued against R&D.

Interestingly, a decent and relatively economical option isn't allowed in city limits - individual wind power. Not even horizontal turbines! Cities quickly adopted ordinances forbidding it, even small towns.

Track meet with all events including shot put, discus throw, poke vault, high jump, hurdles, relays etc. All 32 teams field a track team. At my school we were required to be on the track team or noooo, you didn't get to play football.

"My truth." All "alternatives" are quite old, there's nothing new. None of them viable or reliable. And not tried on mass scale as a result. Only happening now due to economic manipulation, not on merit. If there were merit there would be no necessity for manipulation. YOUR point was...

But ... It's THE point. My area of Texas LEADS THE WORLD in wind power production. Why? Because the government pays for 80 percent of the capital investment and guarantees the other 20 percent plus penalty. The money comes from bulllshit "carbon offsets." Isn't that beautiful? Here's what's not...

But you're either ignoring or leaving out the fact that this "higher price" is engineered and not organic. Nobody's saying you are FOR this manipulation. FAKE MATH is what's "motivating investment." It would not need to fucking BE artificially motivated if it was fucking viable!

Which, is the ultimate goal.

Nobody's arguing against that.

It's the manipulation of the economy, that prevents it. Because fossil fuels are the debbil. But only in the US. Nukes? By far the cleanest most efficient way to generate electricity. You don't see new ones here? Massive punitive over regulation and towering taxation. Two go-to tools of the...

Because there's no magic pill. No "Mr. Fusion" magic power maker. The laws of physics, thermodynamics and ohm's law refuse to be adjusted. BUT, the economy itself can be adjusted to make alternatives APPEAR to be viable. This is what even a nut like Gore knew and had to admit.

That's the whole strategy as laid out in Al Gore's book, "Earth in the Balance." Find every way to artificially inflate the price of oil and gasoline in order to make alternatives APPEAR to be economically viable. The problem is they never can and won't be. Truly, it's a book everyone should...

Was a "ball of fire" with the "Boooooosh lied to get us into WAR" crap.

Big supporter of John sKerry and Hussein Obama. Back in the day.

His business model insulates him from any fan revolt, and also from on-field results and performance. BUT as Yimmy suggested, his ego would certainly get scarred.

Nobody here is "negative." Just realistic.
