    Yeah man, l tried to cover that in the “fuck ups along the way” mention. Presumably progress was made as evidenced by the continued existence of solar panels. 

    It’s ultimately up to you, the rank and file voters and sharers of content. If this anti-green message is what you want to portray, then have at it. I don’t think it’s serving your best interests, and that’s ultimately all l’m trying to say. 

    Solar panels have been around a long time, and their efficiency has improved over the decades.

    I think they have a niche in certain applications, but they still have a way to go for widespread use.

    That’s not right wing, that’s common sense.

    But if it makes you feel better.

    This is the sort of thing l was referring to with all my long winded perception stuff. Here’s a bit more…

    The concept of solar power predates the global warming theory. Our attempts to harness the power of the sun go way back. Didn’t you ever try to melt things with a magnifying glass as a kid?

    There’s plenty of support for solar power, otherwise there wouldn’t be a giant floating solar panel farm in India. Tweets and posts and articles like the one you linked are becoming commonplace in right wing media. Stories about people’s EVs burning up, stories about wind farms failing in inclement weather, etc. And the tenor of these articles is seemingly reveling in the demise of these poor fools who dared to invest in green energy. 

    There’s plenty of reason to support green energy that has nothing to do with global warming. It’s available, it’s cleaner, and it’s theoretically cheaper. And of course there are going to be fuck ups along the way. That’s what drives innovation. It’s big new stuff in the grand scheme of things.

    But here’s the thing, the government doesn’t need to lead the charge here. I’m certain there is enough public interest and progress thus far that private industry, American ingenuity and nobodies like myself will drive things forward. Government grants and policy will help, but it’s only going to grease the wheels to the inevitable. 

    I don’t understand why right wing media is doing this. Trying to get right wingers to come off as the anti-green party. I bet a guy like Cal is one of the greenest dudes on this forum. Grows food, makes tea out of pine needles, likely frugal with energy usage. I’d bet a dollar he has a compost pile. 

    I think it’s a media mindfuck, and l think it’s harming your cause, assuming your cause is to get conservative candidates elected. It would be a big plus if conservatives could simply come off as neutral on the matter, which l believe is more reflective of how they truly are. 

    I wouldn’t call it “right winged media”.

    Let’s crawl into the way back machine to the Obama administration.

    He gave government subsidies to 21 solar cell companies.

    Before his term was up, 18 of them went belly up and the last 3 were begging for more government money.

    You can call it right winged media all you want…but I prefer to call it facts.

    Well Kristi, you just shot your VP aspirations in the foot. 

    I doubt it.

    If she gets chosen to be the VP running mate, I don’t think this would be an issue.

    Case in point, Kamaltoe was polling at less than 2% in her Presidential bid.

    Everyone knows she “sucked” her way up the political ladder and was despised by all.

    Then along comes Dementia Joe and he throws her a political lifeline.

    "The oddity in all of this is the people Trump despises most, love him the most. Go look at Mar-A-Lago, see if there's any people that look like you. I'm talking to you in the audience. The Trump voter who, you know, idolizes the guy. He despises you." Howard Stern 

    Howard Stern 😂🤣

    There’s a fine upstanding gentleman! 🤡

    It's right up there with them thinking Cheetos has integrity. The guy who has cheated on all three of his wives. The guy who cheated on his pregnant wife and had a 10-month affair with McDougal and also cheat on his wife and McDougal with a porn star (5 months). That sure sounds like the opposite of integrity. 

    When he starts fondling kids let me know.
