I have some experience dealing with research and funding. The "science" will be whatever is necessary to keep the grant money flowing. That is true 100% of the time. After my experience in dealing with it, I will never trust any type of research again. Just look for where the money is coming from, ...

Nor you I. Notice I said maybe, you can't do the same. Predictions by the climate community have been proven wrong for 30+ years. I'm taking the over. That statement is Georgia Southern level of ignorance. AAAS seems pretty reputable. https://www.science.org/content/article/even-50-year-old-climate...

In today's Greensboro News and Record an article about carbon in the atmosphere. Page A2 of 25 June 2025 edition. Basically there is not enough land on earth to plant trees to remove the carbon that needs to be remvoed. And if there were enough land it would cost over $10.8 trillion and the market v...

Maybe we don't have the impact on warming/cooling you think we do. Nearly every bit of peer-reviewed science supports anthropogenic climate change. Nutation in earth's orbit and solar output are not supported by evidence. The earth certainly does go through climate cycles and nutation and solar out...

Drill baby Drill!!! I am sure you are of an age where the really severe effects of climate change will not be a concern for you as you will be dead. That is true for me and I bet all but maybe the youngest of posters on this board. But I am curious when I see this attitude as to the status of child...

If you can get China on board we can talk. My suggestion is to not purchase products from countries that you think have a horrible record on things you care about. One consumer is not going to make much of a dent in things but you can go to bed every night standing by your value set. And China is d...

Look at power grid failure in Spain and Portugal lately. Underlying problem was due to over reliance on Solar which uses DC to AC converters and they shut off when surges in demand occur vs how traditional base AC generation handles it. When AC cycle swung out of mandatory allowable deviation param...

Good thing birds can't vote. Wind turbines would be banned. If birds are really worried they need to spend their time banning house cats that are let out to roam. Blaming wind turbines is THE MAN's way of distracting birds from the real killer of birds. I see you have been reading MAUS . Back when ...

I was speaking to the President of our EMC in GA a few months ago and he was telling me the reality of the solar cost. For every KW that is built with solar (they have been doing it a lot around here) they also have to have build the equivalent with a source that is available 24/7/265 because regar...

The fear mongering of antiquated technology propaganda worked very well. Who do you think pushed that narrative? China is going to have much lower electrical costs than us going forward which will further provide them economic advantages for manufacturing and in the AI/technology race. Sunlight is ...

If we really want to change the energy landscape we'd have been working towards building 4th generation nuclear reactors for the past decade. Those are overall better for the environment, and economics. Offshore Wind power subsidies were supposed to lower the consumers electric rates, but once cost...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/christopherhelman/2021/04/28/how-green-is-wind-power-really-a-new-report-tallies-up-the-carbon-cost-of-renewables/ When it comes to wind power, it seems the most important decision is where to put the turbines. There are many variable as play for sure and that makes thi...

One of the biggest detriments to our environment has and continues to be deforestation. Trees are needed to clean the air. Solar farms and wind farms are fine as an alternative source,however solar farms are put in places where trees can go. Unless you are advocating for getting rid of the electric...

I was up by the baseball stadium today. The two new windmills were not operating, but the older one was. I think someone high up in the facilities part of campus mentioned it would be some on/off for a bit. Likely some tweaking to be done and it may be the threshold wind speed to start is a bit hig...

The carbon footprint of that windmill is peak virtue signaling. Granted there is some carbon used in building and transport but that would be the case for an ICE electric generator as well. But once in use where is the carbon from the windmill? There are some concerns about recycling the parts when...

And another point. They do a good job with going zero waste at football games. That is a huge effort on the part of students and they are to be commended. On a personal note I will add that it would help when we are at KBS to make an effort to separate correctly. I want to say a student in sustainab...
