Yet another reason to push HARD toward green energy.

Touche! Ha.ha. and get the French in there too, they’s always got their derriere on their shoulders.

It never pays to be beholden to the Russians.

One good thing, thanks to Putin’s botch of the Russian economy, the Russians need Western money, desperately

Must our children always be expected to find solutions to the issues that we did nothing about at the time? We worry about nuclear war while our climate is changing to one that will be hard/impossible to live in due to our neglect.

Something evil came this way…..

Buying Russian gas is a better solution to a heating problem than the solidly Republican government of Texas produced after last winter’s disaster which was literally seconds from a complete collapse of the power grid. They did nothing.

I wonder how doable geothermal is in Germany? It’s being used quite a bit in Canada for heating houses and they are also developing it as a power source.

There are a number of posters who use statistics about the amount of resources or land mass required to produce greener energy. And some of those numbers can be scary-looking.

Allow me to draw a parallel: I went to the New York World’s Fair as a kid in 1964. We went to the IBM exhibit, and I saw my very first computer. It was stored in a room almost as big as my house, full of heat-creating electronics that had to be cooled significantly and constantly to avoid failure. Big reels of magnetic tape were required to do a few calculations a few times faster than the human brain.

A few years later we saw amazing electronic calculators become available to the public. They could add, subtract, multiply, and divide, and sometimes find a square root, and they only took up half of your desk space.

Now let’s fast-forward: you now hold in your hand a rechargeable phone, camera, flashlight, calculator, word processor, and access to almost any subject and any market you care to find within seconds.

What if IBM had decided in 1964 that this was too much money and too much real estate to continue to work on their project?

More rubles in the commie’s pockets.

The republicans hero.
