[The Union tells us that there will be demonstrations 'Striking for the Earth' at the NC and GV city halls this Friday. These deluded citizens have no idea that their anthropomorphized Earth doesn't give a big rat's ass about ongoing climate change. And what still eludes these sincere but factually deficient folks is that consensus science is NOT science – discovering ground truths about our universe is NOT a democratic process. gjr]

How Progressives Are Making a Green World Harder
“From an environmental standpoint, it is hard to beat nuclear power. It produces no air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions (just harmless steam). It results in fewer deaths per unit of energy produced than virtually all other forms of energy, such as wind power or fossil fuels (nobody died at Three Mile Island). And it provides the steady flow of energy needed for a carbon-free or low-carbon power grid, because unlike wind or solar power, it produces a constant, reliable flow of electricity regardless of whether the weather changes.
“As the Washington Examiner notes, shutting down nuclear power plants would increase greenhouse gas emissions, and make it harder to prevent climate change:
“The International Energy Agency has concluded that meeting the goal of keeping warming to no greater than 2 degrees Celsius would require doubling global nuclear energy generation capacity by 2050. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is often cited as the leading authority by liberals, reached a similar conclusion.”
“In The New York Times, Harvard’s Steven Pinker and two environmental experts noted that nuclear power plants are essential to the success of a green power grid, and it “is a fantasy” to rely on renewable energy alone:……
“Wind and solar power are becoming cheaper, but they are not available around the clock, rain or shine … renewables work only with fossil-fuel [or nuclear] backup. Germany, which went all-in for renewables, has seen little reduction in carbon emissions, and, according to our calculations, at Germany’s rate of adding clean energy relative to gross domestic product, it would take the world more than a century to decarbonize, even if the country wasn’t also retiring nuclear plants early. … [W]e actually have proven models for rapid decarbonization with economic and energy growth: France and Sweden. They decarbonized their grids decades ago and now emit less than a tenth of the world average of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour. They remain among the world’s most pleasant places to live and enjoy much cheaper electricity than Germany to boot.
“Beyond the issue of nuclear power plants, the Green New Deal could increase greenhouse gas emissions in other ways. It proposes “upgrading all existing buildings in the United States,” even very old buildings. In many cases, such upgrades would consume more energy than they would save. Thomas J. Pyle of the Institute for Energy Research said the Green New Deal’s construction projects would cause a lot of pollution: “How much steel is this going to involve? How much concrete? Think about the sheer amount of CO2 emitted into the atmosphere for retrofitting alone.”

CA vehicle emissions
“So: People will get sick and die if the Trump administration succeeds in its regulatory effort to mandate a uniform mileage standard of 37 miles per gallon by 2026. That assertion is dishonest, as removal of the waiver would not change the vehicular emissions limits for such conventional (“criteria”) pollutants as carbon monoxide or nitrogen oxides. Those emission standards are defined in grams per mile, not grams per gallon, so that a relaxation of mileage requirements would not affect those emissions on a per-vehicle basis, a regulatory reality that seems to have escaped the attention of many journalists. More important: Mr. Trump is correct that “older, highly polluting cars, will be replaced by new, extremely environmentally friendly cars.” The average age of the US light-vehicle fleet has increased from 8.4 years in 1995 to 11.6 years in 2016 to 11.8 years at the beginning of this year. In substantial part this is due to rising prices — around $4000 to $7100 — caused by the mileage standards and the implicit requirement to subsidize electric vehicles. A relaxation of the mileage requirements will reduce prices and yield a faster turnover of the fleet in favor of newer vehicles satisfying stricter emissions standards for criteria pollutants.
“…….There is the further matter that the Obama-era mileage waiver is explicitly illegal under the Environmental Policy and Conservation Act, which preempts states from adopting or enforcing laws and regulations “related to” fuel economy. The Obama administration noted in 2010 the direct link between “Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emission Standards and Corporate Average Fuel Economy Standards.” Much of the recent reporting on the elimination of the mileage waiver has confused that waiver with those granted under the Clean Air Act (section 209) for criteria pollutants as a response to “compelling and extraordinary conditions” unique to the state (e.g., California) seeking such a waiver. Other states may opt in to such a waiver under section 177. Note, however, that the EPA is not required to grant such waivers; it may do so under certain conditions.”

But, my Lord, the audacity to go around screaming ‘racist’ at everyone and everything while you know you have this in your background. That’s what gets me.

Nope: “So you listen to a justice like Antonin Scalia — you know, not the most liberal justice who served on the Supreme Court — and even he found that there is no absolute guarantee under the Second Amendment and that the government does have a power to regulate those kinds of weapons that are extraordinarily unusual or deadly.” —Beto O’Rourke

We need to stop the provocation, and the United States needs to return to trying to be a diplomatic broker. … The administration is lying to the American public by saying this was an unprovoked attack.” —Sen.
