Let’s see NPR go solar. It’d be a refreshing change from their dependence on tax dollars.

If the “green new deal” was effectuated and it’s 2050, this NPR story will be either distopian or a lie— so I’ll pass on reading it.

there’s be no coffee pots, laptops or wifi without fossil fuels

Nor the necessary precious minerals for solar panels and batteries.

Being a Liberal means you never have to think past Step 1

You can’t stop something that doesn’t exist in the first place.

The future they talk about takes enormous technological breakthroughs they assume will happen. They simply gloss over that part.

They also gloss over the immense level of force and and forced implementation of the laws they assume, with little evidence, actually benefit people.

There would have to be a totalitarian government as bad as any we have imagined.

But they assume people simply love being forced to do what they otherwise would never do.

It is fantasy on parade.

They should all be tried for fraud. The only warming in the last 100 years is from the measurement offset errors that East Anglia “researchers” applied to old measurements to make them look cooler. They show about 1.8 degrees of warming which is the total of the offsets they added. Their e-mail got hacked and it showed collusion to prevent release of their measured data. If this was real they would freely release data to show the were right. But their e-mails showed that they planned to destroy their data rather than release it in a FOIA request.

Further in the article, they tipped their hand:

But along with those carrots, there was also a stick. Cities took control of the precious real estate known as "roads" and started charging for the right to use them. "Maybe the most powerful thing that got us here, is [that] we got the pricing right," he says. "So, you want an autonomous vehicle? Bless your heart, but it costs you more to drive that autonomous vehicle on the road by yourself. If you ride-share, it's a little bit less."

It doesn't have anything to do with using humans as batteries, does it?

From the article:

Huge electrical transmission lines share electricity between North and South America.

Through the Darién Gap? Really?

NPR holds itself out as a fair and neutral journalist organization. However, this is just naked, liberal propaganda and advocacy.

I found them in Silicon Valley.


Meanwhile in Seattle, Silicon Valley of the north Pacific, Garth Wunsch waits eagerly for solar power to light up the night lite in his infant daughter’s chilly bedroom. The Dot.Solar revolution was hampered in the Pacific Northwest by the fact that the sun only comes out during the third week in August.

Garth is home from work because he gets the day off to celebrate Sun-break Week. Peering out the window, he is pleased to see how clearly Mount Rainier rises from the forest since the use of candles was outlawed, eliminating melting wax pollution.

“If we could just get the rest of the world to stop polluting,” Garth mused. It might make up for the setback when Mount St. Helens erupted, dumping millions of tons of CO2 into the air, delaying even further the coming Ice Age.
