[[some of it hydro powe]]
Some of it may be hydro produced, but it’s stored and delivered by products that took electricity or some forms of fossil fuels to produce
We can’t get away from fossil fuels- and who the heck would want to? The stone age sucked!
Follow the link, but here’s an excerpt. “Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your dam answering machine, I am sending this response to your dam office.”
“And the bratty college students froze sadly ever after” would be the most amusing end to this story!
Lol
Think globally. Act locally.
This guy was pretty clever. There are no viable alternatives for heat at the moment. Maybe there will be in the future. Maybe the kids should ask the bursar to invest a little bit in small companies researching alternatives. Though in the end it is likely that Shell and BP will end up owning those technologies, too.
I agree. It’s also good for flood control and for water preservation. They have been working on a system of turbines installed inside tubes they can place along the shoreline. As wave waters rush in and out, they spin the turbines and generate electricity. This seems unlikely to generate a lot to me, but perhaps enough to power the homes on the shore. Of course if you buy an oceanfront home, the last thing you really want are a bunch of pipes installed on your beachfront.
You are right that I am being provocative but I am provoking some clear thinking, I hope. It is all too easy to request others to do things that carry no personal cost to yourself. The question is whether you and others are prepared to make personal sacrifices to achieve the goals of environmental improvement...
Bring up some muscle and beat the ever-lovin' crap out of the astroturf, then send them notices in the hospitals that they've been expelled for violence (assuming any of the wusses know how to physically defend themselves; it's clear they can't defend themselves verbally, either).
Wow! From a British college administrator/teacher. Maybe he will become the “Iron Gentleman” (like Margaret Thatcher was the Iron Lady) of academia.
God knows British colleges need a gigantic enema of the atomic size to clean out their PCism, foppism, cowardice, Marxism and sheer ignorance.
Good Dad!
My two daughters were open to brainwashing in those school years, also, and that was in the 1970s.
Good, knowledgeable, parenting prevents kids from becoming radicalized by idiot teachers.
Good for him, the cars are fantastic. Well OK for maybe 200 miles if even that, but Wow! I want one to zip around town in. And I don't give a rip how much coal is dug out of the ground to supply the power to charge them up.
the burser should reply with a short note including ads for parkas, long johns and thermal socks. hahahha
The joy of virtue signaling is worth at least 50 miles of range.
“Everyone who buys into man-made global warming and wants to get rid of hydrocarbons should be forced to read Tom Clancy’s Rainbow 6. “
One of my favorites.
The left, commies and socialists are proud of their mentally ill, programmed offspring who will not only kill you but themselves as well
Hydro-power, particularly in the Western states, has eliminated many species of salmon and decimated the rest
as the water rushes in, it carries fish fry and smolts which are shredded in the turbines
“ There’s a terrific comedy routine about dams, looking for it now.”
Does it involve beavers?
It’s from a 50 year old dam so nothing new.
Gentlemen:
I am one of your season ticket holders who attends or tries to attend every game. It appears that one of the pastimes of several fans has become the sailing of paper airplanes generally made out of the game program. As you know, there is a risk of serious eye injury and perhaps an ear injury as a result of such airplanes. I am sure that this has been called to your attention and that several of your ushers and policemen witnessed the same.
Please be advised that since you are in a position to control or terminate such action on the part of fans, I will hold you responsible for any injury sustained by any person in my party attending one of your sporting events. It is hoped that this disrespectful and possibly dangerous activity will be terminated.
Very truly yours,
Roetzel & Andress

The response letter was short and sweet.
Dear Mr. Cox
Attached is a letter that we received on November 19, 1974. I feel that you should be aware that some asshole is signing your name to stupid letters.
Very truly yours,
Cleveland Stadium Corp
