Are those nucleyer waste pellets?
One thing that has always bothered me:
If there’s outer space reptilians controlling our goverments, they must have an interstellar civilization. That means they surely have this energy thing figured out. It must be infuriatingly frustrating to watch apes still playing with coal and whatnot.
Maybe one day one of these reptilians breaks and yells cold fusion formulas out loud in some UN meeting or something.
The Prestige (2006).
They are also keeping the secrets of The Pyramids from us. My research indicates they are 25,000 year old power plants built by The Annunaki. Plus the secret alien propulsion.
Trump will give all of this and more to us!

How much electric energy do you get from the Seabrook Station?
A small fraction, maybe 5-10 percent
Related to earlier discussion, DataRepublican is running numbers for house changes with different census counts.
Not good for Democrats no matter what shakes out.
I have always used nutrition as an analogy to Coal, natural gas or nuclear vs wind and solar
Your main meals of the day is nuclear, coal and natural gas
Your snacks are wind and solar

That’s a surprise….I thought it would be higher, like around 40%
Eh we were both wrong. Rep. Paul posts about energy a lot and looks great doing it.

With all waste dumps in florida….I am surprised refuse plants aren’t utilized for energy
do they still utilize wood burning plants?
There is literally a trash-to-energy plant in the middle of Biddeford, known locally as Lewiston By The Sea.
Wood fired is biomass byproducts of our lumber and I think paper industry.

Welp I was wrong again, that plant closed in 2012. Must be another one out there somewhere.
What people get wrong is that the lizard species aren’t interstellar. The live in the hollow earth. Look up the silurian hypothesis.
They are also nazis, according to this documentary I watched.

OK. Milton Friedman takes the controversial stance that “Cost Push” and “Demand Pull” inflation aren’t real. And only government expansion of the money supply can cause inflation.
And he’s real smart, so let’s accept that opinion as the gospel.
Friedman also spoke our against tariffs, and protectionism, Specifically because they hurt consumers.
If you accept that only the Government Action can cause inflation, do you also have to accept that tariffs are whack?
Not from an international diplomacy perspective.
It will make things more expensive, but I’m not up in arms about that. I’m still in the “let them cook” phase. I’m also in the “if Democrats are howling bloody murder, I’m probably in favor of it” phase.
Speaking of making things more expensive, what do you think importing millions of people does to inflation, housing prices, taxes, school quality, not to mention offsetting citizens voting power?

Waste Management pioneered trash fired boilers in tandem with a French group called Viola or something like that. It was a brilliant idea on paper. Charge you to collect your trash, become the operator of electrical generation plants and burn your trash to turn it in to electricity and sell it back to you.
The problems were inconsistent heat generation and particularly nasty maintenance costs for corrosion and other wear and tear.
I haven’t followed but I don’t think this is a thing anymore, or it’s tiny in scope.
Torching garbage for power is still a thing.
When I first started coming to Maine a coworker and buddy of mine was from Biddeford (pronounced Biddefid). He told me about the trash to energy plant in the middle of downtown and I didn’t believe him. I thought he was busting my chops.
Sure enough, Biddefid was powered by incinerating garbage right in the middle of town. Maine still burns trash for electricity at ecomaine’s WTE facility in Portland.

Back to national news, Trump’s new economist says Biden was was cooking the job numbers. I’m no economist, but I have observed the Biden Administration and Maine Democrats engaging in some pretty egregious deceptions over the years.
What’s more likely, a Biden appointee who would fudge numbers to benefit Biden and harm Trump or a Trump appointee who has been corrupted by MAGA, or even by Trump himself? Perhaps this is all part of a 6-D chess game designed to land Barron a date with Sidney Sweeny.
Yes, this is official USA Government communication, and I really like it.
This is where my despair over our current political climate centers. I hear it on the other side as well, but not to the degree or at the pitch I see on the right (or rather MAGA, I should differentiate). I honestly fear that it will take down my marriage, because I know that sometimes he views me as a liberal (which I am not) and loathing has replaced disagreement in the MAGA world. We don’t discuss policy, but I sometimes struggle with the loss of trust and truth and believe Trump has robbed us of these essential foundations, which he knows, disagrees, and seems to feel angry over. I can’t recall him ever sneering before covid, but now I regularly see him do it scrolling social media and the news. And sometimes at me. Like a decline in sweetness and the assumption of good. It hurts my heart. And also pisses me off, because my own sweetness is taking a corresponding hit.
It’s everywhere now it seems. I do remember vitriol on the left for GWB, who never deserved that (like him or not, policy-wise) so I’m not pretending it’s a right-only problem, but we have sustained some pretty big losses over the past five years or so. That political biases are now lies, or worse, intended manipulations. That no one can be trusted but one’s own self-created echo chamber. That lies on our own side are okay!
Is there even an economy worth these losses? A jobs report worth not trusting the people hired to oversee our shared interests?
