Ah, the nice steady hum of generators at night. No power, no internet, but finally enough cell signal to sporadically check the Rage Page. Life is good!

Just use the solar panels

[Turbine]

They dont even produce the energy it takes to make them.

Ypu must be talking aout the two panels I bought (BC) and have yet to take out the box.

Lima beans are delicious

Especially at Scratch Farm Kitchen...

Didnt they initially say beryl was going to mexico?
How/why/when the change in course?

when Beryl decided that he was going where he wanted to go

man will never control Mother Nature no matter how sophisticated man’s equipment may be

It’s not an environmental catastrophe if it’s natural clown. Nature IS the environment. Crude oil and natural gas in the ocean isn’t it disaster, it’s very natural and happens constantly on an unmeasurable scale. It’s not progress, very far from it actually and it’s anything but “green” or “clean”, that’s the scam part.

Name-calling? Nice
Wait are you saying there are no natural disasters? Or natural environmental disasters?
I was asking if the fact that crude oil naturally oozes from the Earth's crust somehow makes us spilling 5 million barrels into the GOM ok? And that was just one. https://www.noaa.gov/education/resou...sts/oil-spills
No energy form will be 100% clean. Even nuclear or "New Clear"(Thx Turbine!) has issues with extraction and waste but are renewables cleanER?, that is hard to argue against.

Made the Turn to Pascagoula way too late or early depending on your point of view!

Man's contribution to greenhouse gases is 6% or thereabouts. Approximately 94% comes from the our planet. Yet the "progressives" are focusing their energy on the 6% to the detriment of many. Where's the focus on the 94%? Why are they not trying to increase the earth's albedo or plant more trees. Why do they dislike nuclear energy?

For those interested, Google Eavor and take a look at what they are doing. Their Eavor-Loop is a closed-loop geothermal energy extraction system.

Yes 5 million gallons of crude oil in the ocean is perfectly okay. How about all these toxic batteries, solar panels and windmill graveyards? You know tainting our water system? Or what about all the birds they kill? The animal habitat they are destroying? On top of all of that it’s not even practical. At what cost should we all pay to make you feel better about yourself?

The claim that human activities contribute only 6% to greenhouse gases, with the remaining 94% coming from natural sources, is not supported by current scientific consensus. According to NASA and other reputable sources, human activities, such as burning fossil fuels and deforestation, significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, which have risen dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. These emissions are considered the primary driver of anthropogenic climate change.

NASA provides an overview of human activities and their impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

The United Nations provides data and reports on global greenhouse gas emissions, including contributions from various sectors such as energy, industry, agriculture, and transportation.

The EPA details the sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States, including transportation, electricity production, industry, and more.

The IPCC's latest assessment report provides comprehensive information on the human influence on the climate system, including greenhouse gas emissions and their impacts.

While natural processes do emit greenhouse gases, human activities have intensified these emissions, leading to widespread environmental impacts. Environmental efforts often prioritize reducing human-induced emissions because they are within our control and can be mitigated through policy and technological advancements.

Regarding the focus on reducing human-induced emissions versus natural sources like increasing Earth's albedo or planting more trees, environmental strategies often incorporate a combination of approaches. Planting trees and enhancing Earth's albedo are indeed part of broader climate solutions aimed at carbon sequestration and mitigating the heat-absorbing effects of greenhouse gases.

Concerning nuclear energy, opinions vary within the environmental community. Some support nuclear energy as a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, while others raise concerns about safety, waste disposal, and environmental impacts associated with nuclear power plants.

Innovative technologies like the Eavor-Loop, a closed-loop geothermal energy extraction system developed by Eavor Technologies, represent promising alternatives in the transition to renewable energy. Such technologies contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by harnessing sustainable energy sources.
