BTW - It was just a meme........But here goes.... https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2017/05/09/costbenefit-of-wind-energy-must-be-publicized/ Wind turbines produce energy only about 40 percent of the time and must be backed up by “firm” generation sources such as gas or coal, which blows electricity costs skyward. OTPC already charges a 7 percent “Renewable Resource Adjustment” on North Dakota electric bills to cover the cost of renewable generation. Other utilities charges various Renewable Energy Surcharges, bury the extra cost of renewables by raising rates across the board or implement a rate fee that is a combination of both. In Germany, with the largest combined wind and solar capacity in Europe, affixes a renewable energy surcharge on residential bills of almost 24 percent of household electricity price. The surcharge has risen tenfold since implementation and has been partially responsible for a hike in German residential electric bills of 68 percent since 1998, according to https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/what-german-households-pay-power.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-impossible-foods-ceo-burger/vegetarian-patty-gets-the-burger-king-whopper-test-idUSKCN1RD1WO To mark the launch on April Fool’s day, the burger giant released a hidden-camera-style promo video showing the serving of plant-based Whoppers instead of meat to customers who marvel that they cannot tell the difference. “We wanted to make sure we had something that lived up to the expectations of the Whopper,” said Burger King’s North America president, Christopher Finazzo. “We’ve done sort of a blind taste test with our franchisees, with people in the office, with my partners on the executive team, and virtually nobody can tell the difference.” The Impossible Whopper comes at an extra cost - about a dollar more than the beef patty Whopper. But Finazzo said research shows consumers are willing to pay more for the plant-based burger. Plant-based meat has been gaining popularity as more attention is focused on the environmental hazards of industrial ranching. Finazzo said his research shows customers mainly like it for the health benefits. The Impossible Burger patty has zero cholesterol. Impossible Foods, based in Redwood City, California, launched its first faux meat patty over two years ago. A genetically modified yeast creates the key ingredient, called heme, which makes the patties appear to bleed and taste like real meat. OK - This is going too far......Messing with the Whopper........Stop the insanity................

OK. Completely disappointed. That was the worst season finale to date. Last week's episode would have made a better season end. Would have really wanted to see the next season. Now, just meh......Will still be watching, though, just not as highly anticipating. Season 10 better step it up. BTW - The whisperers surely went south (where the sun was) and were not a factor for the wanderers who crossed the borders, and IMHO - Alpha looked preggos in the end.......

One thing about PB - he is incredibly intelligent, and if at all possible will not let himself get pigeon-holed into a character of folly in the Democrat Party. SF doesn't hardly align at all with his Liberal/left political views, and absolutely despises the "smart streets" (roundabouts) in South Bend, and don't get me started on "Lime Bikes" (google it) in South Bend where some of the bikes wound up in the river, but I have to respect his demeanor and his ability to sniff out the traps being set for him in the Democrat campaign so far. He would make a worthy adversary as a counterpart to Pence in the debates if he is unable to get the nomination, but becomes a VP pick. Here is a humorous take from Trevor Noah:

and I can even agree with his statement I highlighted.........But if he were white......and said that in the opposite direction, say opposition to casting a black character in a white role...... My point - The reason/motivation/intent is irrelevant, if a white person ever made that same statement in the same context, there would be instant damnation from every angle.......

He's probably glad he didn't buy her those glasses with the corrective lenses......

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/03/28/black-press-only-at-political-meeting-in-georgia-church/3305136002/ Organizers of a Wednesday meeting about an upcoming mayoral election asked that only black journalists cover the event at a church in Savannah, Georgia. "No media (T.V. Radio, etc.) Black Press Only!" read a sign posted on the door of Bolton Street Baptist Church. The Savanah Morning news reports that white reporters were barred from entering the event while multiple black reporters were permitted to enter. A social media post made by the Trigon Group to promote the meeting says the community gathering was intended to unify support in the African American community behind a single candidate for mayor among multiple candidates. That post also says "Black Media ONLY!" In this Wednesday, March 27, 2019 photo, signs posted on the doors of the Bolton Street Baptist Church are seen during a meeting coordinated to garner support for one black candidate in Savannah's mayoral race, in Savannah, Ga. (Photo: Eric Curl/Savannah Morning News via AP) USA TODAY's attempts to contact to The Trigon Group via phone and email were not immediately returned. Van Johnson, one of multiple black mayoral candidates to have announced a campaign for the November election, is told by a reporter that he was denied entrance to the meeting.I think that's unfortunate," Johnson responded. Johnson also told the station that he believed event organizers had the right to determine who to admit to an event. He suggested he would speak at an event where only white reporters were allowed to attend. WJCL reported that journalists who were allowed inside the meeting were treated "with suspicion." The station says that about 50 people attended the event. The meeting was held as the city's first white mayor in 20 years, Eddie DeLoach, is seeking re-election this fall. Assuming this is not racist?

Agree - Even IF the Federal Government was to fund the special Olympics, it sure shouldn't be under the Department of Education.

Apparently the SWAT team was dispatched to deal with this level of lunacy by parents who choose not to vaccinate their kids......Because they certainly must be nuts..... The doctor feared something that turned out to be a glorified sinus infection.......(Something a vaccine wouldn't cover anyway)...... Yep - better send SWAT in....

The raid came as a result of a fight between the toddler's parents and a doctor over his medical care. But now, local lawmakers say it went too far. It was a scene that resembled police trying to take down a dangerous fugitive, bust down the door with guns at the ready. But instead of a fugitive, police were looking for a toddler believed to have an extremely high fever. State representative Kelly Townsend says she's troubled by the video, and she's played a big role in getting legislation passed requiring Children's Services to get a search warrant before removing children from a home in a non-emergency situation. But she says she never thought this would be the result. "The doctor chose to use DCS to remove the child, and DCS chose to use the police, and the police chose to use the SWAT team," she said. "That is not the country that I recognize." Townsend says it all started back in February, when the parents took the 2-year-old, who isn't vaccinated, to a naturopathic doctor for a fever of about 105. The doctor instructed the parents to take the child to the emergency room, but the fever broke after the doctor's visit, so they never went. Upon learning that, the doctor called DCS, which then called Chandler police to check on the child. The father refused to let police into the home, and later that night, officers came back with a search warrant. "At that point, who now owns control over the child?" Townsend said. "And it seems like we've now given that to the doctor, and the parent no longer has a say or they risk the SWAT team taking all of the children and potentially the newborn." Townsend says she can see both sides of the story, a concerned doctor and protective parents, but she is questioning how it was done and the amount of force used. "We need to admit that in this situation, it was a mistake," she said. "There are other situations where there is neglect, there is abuse, and that is what we need to focus on." Townsend said the child actually had an upper respiratory infection and not meningitis like the doctor had feared. The kid had a fever........And the parents who chose to avoid vaccinations obviously have no idea what they are doing.......
