You Can't Silence Us

Yanking Licenses

The Federal government has rescinded the license extension of the Turkey Point nuclear power plant, located near Miami. The stated reason is that global climate change will cause sea levels to rise, and the plant’s environmental impact statement didn’t take that into account.

So instead, we will continue to rely upon coal plants. There is no way that wind and solar can make up for the loss of this plant. That plant produces 12 gigawatt hours of electric power per year.

In comparison, every solar panel in the state of Florida produces 7.5 gigawatt hours each year, combined.

From the Group that Believes in Science

The same group of people that keeps lecturing us on how science allows boys to be girls, masks can stop a virus, and other claims to own the science world, comes a complete lack of understanding of physics and math.

Four years ago, I wrote about the scam of creating fuel for free by using a machine to make hydrocarbons out of the carbon dioxide in the air. For many reasons, not the least of which is the First Law of Thermodynamics, this system is a scam.

Then a year ago, I told you how that same company announced that they can take carbon dioxide from the air, liquefy it, and pump it into the ground, thereby saving us all from global climate change. Again, those pesky laws of physics.

Now they are building these things. They do not, and cannot, work to reduce atmospheric CO2. Even using so called “green energy” sources.

Science. It’s a thing.

Most Secure Ever

Nothing says that our elections are secure and no cheating took place like the President who is being accused of winning by fraud declaring that the voting machine report be kept a secret.

Biden officials at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency urged a judge not to release a report on Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing the move would “threaten election security.”

Extremes

When I was in the military, one thing we were frequently told was, “If we wanted you to have a family, we would have issued you one.” Admittedly, that was a bit extreme, but what the country is doing now is even more so.

The military isn’t a jobs program. It’s supposed to be how our nation is protected. Our current force isn’t up to the task.

Cover Me, I’m Going In

As a certified rescue diver, public safety diver, and former member of more than one dive rescue team (since retired), I have done some crazy body recoveries. Mostly in zero visibility swamp water that was like diving into black paint. I have seen snakes, alligators, and more when looking for bodies. Not once has it ever been hairy enough to require a protective sniper. That is some scary shit.
