California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced steps Friday to speed up the clean-energy transition and fight climate change, including an end to building gas-burning power plants, even as the move away from fossil fuels has threatened his state with blackouts and forced him to reconsider nuclear power.

He really hates the citizens of his state. How long does it take to build a nuclear plant? Once it is up, where do you dispose the spent fuel?

Brylcream Boy has gone off the deep end. He also wants no new gas stations to be built in CA too. He just visited the WH and my bet there are plans for him to become VP after Joe checks out and Kammie moves up a notch. They want to bring in the A Team to totally destroy the country while they still have control and half a chance. Look at the damage he has done to California and just imagine what he would do to the country. Joe is a walk in the park compared to Nutjob Newsome.

I have escaped and now only read Crazy California news for the humor. It takes at least 10 years to build a nuclear plant. Potentially much longer in a stupidly anti-science state like California. Without gas the only other choices are: coal, wind, solar. Coal obviously will never happen there. Wind and solar don't provide base load even if they could build enough to support the state's needs. Stick a fork in it, blackouts coming to California.

For the last hundred years or so tens of millions of Americans managed to cook their food with gas stoves and ovens. Their “kitchen climates” apparently did them no harm. Politicians against burning clean natural gas are really insane control freaks are are far, far more dangerous to our Soviet than the natural gas they seek to ban.

OK, great. No other state should import any energy to Kalifornia as long as they are not willing to produce their own energy. This is as insane as Brandon shutting down energy production and then going to the Saudis, hat in hand, begging for oil. They laughed at him, as he richly deserved.

Natural gasoline is very clean burning and one of the main reasons the United States is meeting the Paris Accord targets. They are trying to knock down the hydro-electric dams. They cancel a desalinization plant that could provide needed water. They have not built a new refinery in over 40 years despite a doubling of the state's population, they just keep and maintain the old one's. When the Richmond fire destroyed one of these plants the owners thought it would be great to expand it a bit , but the enviro-nuts (different from someone who simply cares and respects the environment) determine that would be a new plant and they'd have to go through a new EIR and all of the other regulatory bodies, so the owners just re-built what they had, thus, no additional capacity was added to help California businesses and residents.

How does the governor think all these new illegals are going to live? Energy growth is necessary to support a growing population. And with Democrats pushing the nation off energy, we are not going to be able to support the population we have. Too many people do not know that the standard of living we enjoy today was only possible, because of energy production beginning after WWII through until before Biden.

Mark Zuckerberg has a robust real estate portfolio across the West Coast, but could he be saying goodbye to San Francisco? The Facebook co-founder and his wife, the philanthropist and former pediatrician Priscilla Chan, quietly sold their Golden City pad in an off-market deal worth $31 million, The Post has confirmed. This marks the largest residential deal in San Francisco this year, beating a pair of penthouses that once belonged to the late Secretary of State George Shultz for a combined $29 million, the Real Deal first reported. Zuckerberg, 38, purchased the home in 2012 for $10 million, records show.

General Motors' joint venture with LG Energy Solution is on track to receive a multibillion-dollar loan from the U.S. government to build battery cell plants for electric vehicles, including one going up in Lansing. On Monday the Department of Energy announced "a conditional commitment" for $2.5 billion to GM and LG's 50-50 joint venture called Ultium Cells LLC. "While this conditional commitment demonstrates the Department’s intent to finance the project, several steps remain, and certain conditions must be satisfied before the Department issues a final loan," the DOE said in a blog posted Monday.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) used the opportunity to press Buttigieg over the high cost of electric vehicles, which he noted are higher than the cost of an average compact car.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is calling for the end of private car ownership in the name of saving the world from climate change by reducing the need for green tech resources. “We need a clean energy revolution, and we need it now,” the WEF begins its article. According to the WEF, critical metals, such as cobalt, lithium, and nickel — all of which are used in “clean energy technologies” — are in short supply. And while the WEF says recycling old tech that uses these metals could lessen the impact of shortages, it’s simply not enough. “The complication is that we do not currently have enough metals in in circulation

Author Jeffrey Frank has written two biographies of American presidents, one about Harry S. Truman and another about the relationship between Dwight D. Eisenhower and his Vice President Richard Nixon. He draws on that knowledge of history to argue that President Biden is doing a poor job preparing VP Harris to succeed him. Vice President Kamala Harris, who was a first-term senator from California before entering the White House, hasn’t been given the sort of immersive experiences or sustained, high-profile tasks that would deepen and broaden her expertise in ways Americans could see and appreciate. In the modern era, of course, a 68-day trip for a vice president would be laughable.

The leak rocked the federal judiciary, the American political scene, and led to an ugly campaign to intimidate Supreme Court justices, inspiring one assassination plot that thankfully went nowhere. Chief Justice John Roberts promised an investigation to identify the leaker, and the pool of suspects seemed relatively small — the justices themselves and their clerks. Almost three months later, though, the leaker has seemingly escaped detection and punishment. Are they even still investigating the leak? The Associated Press can’t even get an answer to that question from the court:

Hunter Biden reportedly did not register as a foreign agent while making business deals overseas, according to the New York Post. Experts said recently it was a possible crime that could result in him being sent to prison. The report noted Biden was registered as a lobbyist for domestic interests but not under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). In addition, Biden could reportedly face charges regarding tax violations and lying about illegally buying a firearm. Breitbart News reported Wednesday: The probe, which has been ongoing for years and debated for months among Justice Department officials, also centers on the Biden family’s foreign business schemes while Joe Biden was vice president.

Posted by Beardo 7/25/2022 7:20:53 AM Post Reply
Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin suggested that abortion bans in some states could actually violate religious beliefs in a column on Sunday. Rubin introduced the subject by referencing a lawsuit brought up by the Jewish Congregation L’Dor Va-Dor against the 15-week abortion ban in Florida. The congregation argued that Jewish law "does not consider life to begin at conception or at 15 weeks" and refusing an abortion could violate their beliefs. Though Rubin questioned whether this would sufficiently infringe on "First Amendment rights and the state constitution’s free-exercise clause," she still considered the issue "important." "In any event, this is an issue the forced-birth crowd should care about."
