Winning my butt. Coal fired plants are still being shut down and wind farms going up in return for tax breaks. My electric bill is 3 times what it was a decade ago and that sure don’t feel like winning to me.

Don’t any of you worry your pretty little heads over this. Once liberals have a goal in mind, absolutely nothing will deter their efforts in seeing it through (By any means necessary)!

I was thinking more about the Beanie Baby craze. People were sinking their life savings into them in the ‘90s thinking they’d always be “valuable”. Suddenly someone woke up and realized, hey these are just freakin’ beanbags with a tag on the butt.

Only temporarily.
Libs have a way of repackaging a ‘cause’ and reselling it later.
It will be back. Give it about 10 years.

Solar power in England, yea, right. They’ll be lucky to get sunlight on those panels 15% of the time. Payback is in decades. Solar in the Arizona and California desert...that has some chance, but even so, it hasn’t reached the point where it can pay its way.
It’s just sad that so many poor people had to suffer for so long while this insane experiment was carried out. Now half the countries in Europe (led by Spain) are BROKE from this crap.

Subsidies to all new wind and solar plants were outright suspended in Spain last week, which was not just bad, but described as one of the biggest blows ever to the sector. The changes are predicted to kill off much of the investment in renewables there. The people selling solar power in Greece were also told the government could not afford to pay their rates, and didnt really want more of that kind of power right now either, thanks. You can tell the economy in Europe is doing badly when they are reduced to only doing what works.

I worked for a company who’s owner was sold the “green lie’ and his support of that put down a 105 year old company he owned. He bought a sister company in CA, that had a “green” division that lost more money than the TX company he owned made (always profitable, year before it closed $1-million net profit). Net result, after 10 years of the CA losses both companies were liquidated.

“I worked for a company whos owner was sold the green lie and his support of that put down a 105 year old company he owned.”
Yuckers. That’s why these people are so dangerous. People that run companies are very busy people. They get their 10 minutes of news per day (versus 5 to 10 hours for us junkies), and they never have a chance to sift out the left-wing BS. So they buy into it, feel good, and go broke. I’m sure there are hundreds, if not thousands of other companies that fell into the same trap.

Sadly the master charlatan Al Gore made millions from carbon trading, movie royalties and speaking fees perpetrating this hoax.

I worked for 2 similar privately held distribution companies for 35 years. About equal time with both. Left the first after 14+ years, left the 2nd after 14 years, spent 5-1/2 after that back with the 1st company before it went down.
The Texas company was always profitable. But finally the losses of the CA company became so large the TX company had no cash flow to pay bills. Tragedy.
Who says Socialism does not kill?
