    EPA's New Coal Pollution Rules: More Death, More Asthma

    1/2 a degree rise over 30 years has happened many times in the past. Out of control implies a continued rise for the rest of the century. This almost never happens when it comes to climate as it moves in waves. We'll see if it can move above the 1998 high, but it's still below that.

    Land expropriation without compensation begins in South Africa

    Taking something from someone else, because of skin color is still a racist action even if it's done to a white person.

    Gorka: John Brennan Is A Traitor, A Communist

    He voted communist and recently used his power as the head of the CIA to spy on the American people before denying it while under oath. I think the denial of clearance makes sense.

    Did David Duke's endorsement of Donald Trump help or harm him?

    About one-third owned slaves. The other two-thirds didn't and saw the war as a fight for southern independence and defense against northern oppression. This viewpoint was supported by the fact that southern states were pillaged and burned following the confederate defeat. Many in the south...

    Did David Duke's endorsement of Donald Trump help or harm him?

    Not everyone who fought for the confederacy in the civil war were racist. This was a march against the removal of a statue of General Lee being taken down. A lot of people believe that it's a part of their history especially since many of their ancestors died in that war. Trump denounced the KKK...

    Did David Duke's endorsement of Donald Trump help or harm him?

    Here's his full comment. "You had some very bad people in that group. You also had some very fine people on both sides," He acknowledged that there were some very bad people, but stopped short of labeling all of them as bad.

    What if you don't have offering money?

    This reminds me of the widow in Mark 12:43 when she gave next to nothing, but since it was all she had to live on it was more than the offering of the rich who gave out of their wealth. The amount given depends on your earnings. Another way to give is through your time if it's bothering your...

    Was Jesus Complaining?

    The sins of the world were placed on him at that moment so he was probably surprised by the lack of connection. Sins had hidden God's face.

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    The batteries are liquid warmed and cooled depending on the weather. The country with the most Telsas per capita is Norway. A lot of the batteries from car wrecks or degradation are given a second life as stationary store or for use in other applications (power tools, e-bikes). They're high...

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    The roadster is still expensive, but I just wanted to show what's possible. The $35,000 model 3 will be available by the end of the year. Tesla is focusing on the cars with higher margins first much like Apple did with the first iphones. Here's a Tesla model S that traveled 200,000 miles and...

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    The new tesla roadster has a 620 mile range and is the fastest production car ever produced traveling from 0-60mph in 1.9 sec and with a top speed of 250mph+. Charging isn't a problem, because most of it is done at night while the car is parked. It's more convenient, because no trips to gas...

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    Hubbert predicted peak world conventional oil around 2000 and it happened in 2008 so he was 8 years off. Shale oil has been cash flow negative since it's inception. Investors are still funding them, because they are thirsty for yield which can be 10%. The yield is so high, because the bonds are...

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    Lithium ion batteries will replace it absorbing energy from every imaginable source. Our country will be one of the main manufacturers of them and wars in far away countries will no longer need to be fought.

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    The past ten years central banks have had to lower interest rates to almost zero and print trillions of dollars just to keep the system afloat at a 1-2% annual growth rate. Also, government debt has tripled and we've been fighting wars where over half of the world's fossil fuels are located...

    Oil gone in 19 years-- what next?

    For every one calorie of food it requires 10 calories of fossil fuel to produce it. People are in for a very rude awakening once the Seneca cliff has been reached.

    Trump Strips Former CIA Director of His Security Clearance

    Good, he lied under oath to the American people when he said the CIA wasn't spying on them.
