some highlights from the memo: http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/interactive/2012/may/09/wind-power-memo That is just a small bit.
Well my partner and I are going for a 10-day vacation to Boston, P-Town, Bar Harbor, and Bretton Woods this summer - I may end up staying
Have a great trip! It's really wonderful up here in the Summer, particularly along the coast and on the Cape. (Though to be honest, I abhor the Cape.)
Yep. Decry the opposition press, then have trusted sources dole out manufactured talking points. The Russkies did the same, and they convinced half their audience too.
It's too bad this didn't play out a bit longer before this was leaked. It would have been fun to watch vfish using terms like "puff power" and "breeze energy" and then read this
Here's my problem with their plan: What scientific support could possibly come of this plan? Wind power isn't exactly an unknown quantity at this point. It'd be like trying to reframe the effects of CFCs in the atmosphere...we already know what's gonna happen.
I get the opinion that green groups are pretty good at turning public opinion against them on their own. One example I recall: "Green Policy Damaging Environment" http://blogs.the-american-interest.com/wrm/2012/04/10/green-policy-damaging-environment/
Hmmm I'm not buying Mead's argument. Are trees a carbon-neutral resource over the long term? Yeah they are. So they are not carbon-neutral over the short term. So, big deal. Coal and oil and gas are not carbon-neutral under any time frame. Plus the long term is ultimately what counts, after all the whole issue of planet health is about the long term. This reads to me like a cranky anti-green bashing greens.
Trump’s solar tariff backfires: It hits red states and U.S. taxpayers harder than China "Southern states like Texas, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina among the most impacted." Jan 23, 2018, 2:53 pm https://thinkprogress.org/trump-solar-tariff-backfires-36cb1c4f7fbc/
Yes, and I cheer only because the stupid decision will have a bigger impact on the stupid states that voted for the stupid decision maker.
SC Gov. McMaster: Trump erred in washing machine, solar panel tariffs S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster said Tuesday the Trump Administration erred when it imposed tariffs on washing machines and solar panels.
This is kind of cool if it does end up coming to market. Having windows that can meet your energy needs (not industrial), would be pretty cool. https://www.economist.com/news/scie...ential-outshine-silicon-solar-panels-new-type
