Hydro is fine IF it does not impeed fish populations, very expensive startup costs though. Opinions are NOT always wrong. UK is using NUCLEAR that has its own storage problems.
Okay then.
I know much more than you think. :)
Your mind reading abilities are abysmal; I really have no idea how much you do or don't know.

Forgive me if I won't take the politicians at their word

It's not a matter of not "taking them at their word" it's a matter of making them accountable to their words.

AFAIK Thunberg makes a point of using trains and other less carbon-intensive means of conveyance whenever possible.
She still used planes and other less than green means of transportation. She talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk.

If Joe Biden were a decent fellow and a patriot, he would be using his remaining weeks as president to fix some of the disasters he has created. Instead, he is doing just the opposite.
Biden and his apparatchiks are trying to spend every last dollar authorized by the misnamed Inflation Reduction Act so that the Trump administration cannot recapture those funds. The IRA gave the White House some $375 billion in taxpayer funds to be strewn about the country as they see fit, under the total control of former Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta.

What a sad state they have imposed on our country.
It's not surprising ... their whole agenda has always been to take Trump down and that has never changed nor will it change going forward.

As of December 5, 2024, the national debt of the United States is $36.17 trillion. This is due to irresponsibility of both parties over many years ... it can not continue ... our country is at a tipping point ... hard to say what the future holds. We do indeed need major changes because our debt is a major problem.

As the saying goes ... the chickens have come home to roost.

Maybe, just maybe, take consideration at looking at Trump himself? He's really a self inflicted gun shot wound. No one made him defraud Trump U students, he did it on his own volition. No one made him defraud his Trump Foundation, he did it on is own volition. No one made him enact 17 counts of tax fraud at his namesake Trump Org, he did it on his own volition. No one made him pay off a porn star to keep that out the news (as if it would matter to his voters) he did it on his own volition. No one made him defame someone who the court concluded he did in fact sexually assault, he did it on his own volition. No one made him try to strong arm the president of Ukraine for self benefit, he did it on his own volition. No one made him participate in a fake elector scheme to steal the 2020 election, he did it on his volition. No one made him refuse to give back top secrets, lie about it, try to have his lawyer lie about it, have his employee move them, then ask his employee delete the tape of the move, then tell top secrets about nuclear subs to a foreigner, he did it on his own volition. So maybe, just maybe it's about Trump and not the ramifications of his bad decision making which always, always, is about his self interests.

The IRA also involves using part of the increased tax revenues to reduce the deficit.

The World Economic Forum estimates that the Act would prevent the federal debt from growing by $1.9 trillion over a 20-year period.

Biden has not left a mess, he has gifted Trump a job-creating program that also reduces deficits by raising revenues more than the increased expenses.
"'The Internal Revenue Service said Friday that it has collected nearly $1.3 billion in overdue taxes from wealthy households since last fall, thanks to a ramp-up of enforcement efforts funded by the Democrat-backed Inflation Reduction Act that passed Congress two years ago.""​
Guess who wants to get rid of that?

Debatable if and what of these things are true or false. Courts have and do make decisions in error ... many people have been convicted of crimes in error.

Like it or not ... he's been elected president ... and we will see how things play out.

"Green energy" isn't so green as we have all found out. It is not cost effective and unreliable. Climate mitigation is a farce...


It's not a "farce". Sustainable power generation is both more environmentally friendly (less emissions, less overall waste, less overall pollution) and cheaper (lower investment requirements and lower LCOE) than fossil fuel power.

Just because it's not zero emissions doesn't mean it's not "green".


Why should anyone pay attention to a 25 year-old opinion piece in a medical journal from a locum GP who has no demonstrated expertise on the subject matter. One that is also clearly full of falsehoods (for instance, relying on the CEI's misconstruing of the satellite temperature record by cherry-picking start and end points, or quoting climate change deniers lying about the IPCC report).

Great start to a thread! Not goading or baiting at all - although perhaps a bit projecting...

The money "strewn around" by the Inflation Reduction Act is authorized by Congress - the president has an actual obligation to distribute funds as directed by the act. This entails investment in green energy and climate mitigation efforts which the incoming president has sworn to kill. So, good for President Biden!
Lol.

Yet the same liberals scream and call Trump a narcissist.

Sure, Jan.

That wasn't a couple of opinions. It was a long list of facts.
Facts?

Lol.

I don’t trust the MSM.

Trump is compassionate and rather grandfatherly.

Anyone who knows him calls him generous.

I actually like Trump a lot.

My opinion has definitely changed over time.

Yes. Whether you find a reason to excuse or overlook his behaviour in any of those cases mentioned is another matter. That will be your personal opinion. Which cannot change the facts of the matter.

People can change you know? I still like and prefer Trump over Biden or Harris.

This has been brought up elsewhere, but to change for the better means that the person wasn't doing what he or she should have been doing in the first place. And that person needs to have acknowledged that fact. In Trump's case, the first point is true. And the second is something he has never done.

Who knows? He still has plenty of time to admit his wrongdoing- if any.
