Get that tattooed on your forehead, Bambi. Then do the monk thing.

You will convince lots of people to cling hard to the mining and burning of lovely lovely coal.

Won't take much convincing when the lights and everything else run by electricity go out...and/or their energy bills get so high they cannot pay them.
Yes, that is exactly what continued reliance on fossil fuels wl lead to. That is the other reason for.green energy.

Except, of course, the obvious.
There no reliable green energy to replace fossil fuels.
Humans play a very small role in world wide climate change so mothballing the combustion engines, gas stoves, and incandescent light bulbs is stupid. The leftist freaks idiotically  took nuclear energy off the table decades ago so we are left with windmills and solar that offer only intermittent and unreliable energy.
Governments made it worse by subsidizing the technology and weakening our grids.
We cannot wager our future on experimental technologies while eliminating our most reliable forms of energy, including coal.
That is why Biden has to go.

I feel better and better about the re-election chances for President Biden every time I see something like this from a repulsive dead ender like the two previous posters.

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has issued an apology to the American people this weekend, expressing her clear, sincere, and obvious regret at the fact that theaters doing a Denver production of the Beetlejuice musical have such high-quality night-vision cameras these days...   

- AV Club

Apparently the part about Boebert and her partner giving each other a handy was more than a rumor.  It is on tape!

Anyone else prompted to wonder if the musical version of Beetlejuice is somewhat lackluster at least in places?  Usually people who are laughing clapping and singing along don't feel the need to give their partner a handjob.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

Shake shake shake, Senora!  Shake it all night long!

(does the musical version incorporate the same Belafonte numbers as the movie?)

The 'repulsive dead enders' speak the truth though.

Show them the reliable, available, affordable green energy to replace fossil fuels in America, Australia the world...today or anytime in the near future, or not so near future.

You can't, because such things do not exist.

China is building a new coal-fired power station every week, for manufacturing and so "Barbie's" Chinese girl friend can use her hair-dryer, and 1.3 billion Chinese folk can eat hot food, have hot showers, keep warm in winter etc...oh, and keep the military churning out new ships, planes, missiles etc.

Notice how China (and India for that matter) are omitted from "climate change" criticism and Australia, America, Britain etc are the "big, bad wolves".

China is now selling more vehicles in Australia than Korean companies, reportedly.

Is this the style of scintillating topics EXELBA will be offering under Oilcan?

It is exciting though, having a new forum.
I'm hoping Exelba will allow the posting of a link then a few lines of text, like the Times used to do and US Message Board does.....not only a few words or maybe a short line before chopping off the rest like Elba does now.

As reported by Bloomberg, Harley-Davidson's decision to give its employees an ownership stake in the company was inspired by a somewhat surprising source: private equity giant KKR & Co., which recently rolled out employee stock ownership programs for hourly workers at their portfolio of industrial companies.

-----

Bambu, Australia can do like Harley Davidson and give the employees an ownership stake in the company, it motivates the workers when they have an ownership stake in a company, when it reaches a point where workers cannot earn enough from Union Wages and Benefits alone, then the workers can benefit by receiving an ownership stake in the company.

And the same is true in America with the Entertainment Industry, that is why companies like United Artists prospered, and Lucy and Desi with Desi-Lu Productions, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Bambu, Australia is getting 90% of your solar panels from China...

https://thewest.com.au/business/australia-relies-on-china-for-90-per-cent-of-solar-panel-imports-c-4695556

That means that Australia needs to work together as a team with China to quickly supply Australia with solar panels, etc. Australia can send food and other supplies to China to support the speedy production of solar panels for Australia.

Also, teamwork promotes peace. So, that is good.

Salute,

Tony V.

bambuworld govt intends to make solar panels locally.
And, today "nuclear transition" was headline on Sky News.

Well that's part of the solution to be able to have "Zero emissions by 2050".
2050 is nearly 30 years away.
Most of the politicians will be dead by then.
Gas fired power stations are real, they're clean and operating now.

The video reportedly shows Boebert s partner shooting his spooge onto the seat in front of him, much the way you do whenever Biden stumbles verbally or Kevin McCarthy shows a little ankle.

No they are not.  Climate science people and the IPCC have repeatedly pointed out that China is now the world's largest carbon footprint.  China has received considerable critcism for dragging its feet on lowering emissions.

Green energy, with storage technologies now coming available, are reliable.  My state is now 70% renewables, and electricity rates are lower than the national average.  America's high energy consumption is related to lifestyle choices that have given us a sky-high obesity rate.  Many developed countries with better standards of living than us use much less energy per capita.  We can get there.
