Well said. You’re a lot smarter than Algore.

Thanks (I think)

Considering any one of my pet cats is smarter than AlGore I don’t know how to take that statement.

There was a German FReeper who posted a story couple of weeks ago that Germany had met almost 50% of their electrical demand with solar power for the day. I forget his FReeper name... “Arbeit Macht Frei” or something like that? Why would they be having blackouts with their swell “renewable” energy policies?

The world is full of stupid people who will go along with their government on every single issue even if it means their family has to sit in the dark and do without modern conveniences.

... had met almost 50% of their electrical demand with solar power for the day...

... and only for one day, and it wasn't hot, and the wind was blowing good.

I think a brown out smoked his computer, and he can no longer FReep...

Remembering the 50% solar post, it was 50% power on a Saturday during daylight hours as i recall.

reminds me of the joke (Maybe from the Onion) about congress voting to reduce gravity by 50% to stimulate the economy.

I think you're right. If he was able to FReep I'm sure we'd get a very good explanation of why so many Germans are in the dark. I'll bet it will be even better when they shut down all of their nuclear power too.
