google “negative externalities of coal and natural gas”

It was harder for me to find sources from right wing news sources, but I did find some. It would seem to me that it is widely reported on and has been for years. It would seem that if you haven’t heard of this, you may be in a bubble yourself. But what do I know, I don’t touch grass.

lol, I'm not reading all that. Touch grass.

If you don’t believe OP, just ask Fox News:

https://www.foxnews.com/us/fbi-arrests-man-woman-extremist-views-alleged-power-grid-attack-plot-targeting-5-substations.amp

> As alleged in the affidavit, Russell conspired to carry out attacks against critical infrastructure, specifically electrical substations, in furtherance of Russell’s "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist beliefs" from at least June 2022 to the present.

> Russell is an alleged neo-Nazi figure who authorities say posted locations of substations.

> This plot is not related to but comes on the heels of several power grid attacks in North Carolina,Washington, and Oregon late last year.

Or the US Dept of Justice:

> These three defendants admitted to engaging in a disturbing plot, in furtherance of white supremacist ideology, to attack energy facilities in order to damage the economy and stoke division in our country,”

Or the extremism program at GWU:

> Since 2019, white supremacist attacks plots against critical infrastructure systems have distinctly increased. > Between 2016 and 2022, white supremacist plots targeting energy systems dramatically increased in frequency. 13 individuals associated with the movement were arrested and charged in federal court with planning attacks on the energy sector; 11 of these attack planners were charged after 2020. > The rise of accelerationist ideology and doctrine during the past decade likely fueled the increased risk of attack plots within white supremacist milieus targeting critical infrastructure, and the energy sector in particular.

First, the fact that renewables produce variable amounts of power intermittently creates engineering and grid planning challenges, but it doesn't change the end game.

Most grids use something called merit order scheduling to decide which combination of available generation resources will run during each time slot of each day (slots can be hourly, 15 minute, or more granular). Whenever renewables are available to power the grid, they're generally the cheapest to run so they get scheduled first, before more expensive generators that have to burn fuel to make power.

The subsidies will speed up the transition and whether you think they're needed/good depends on how you view climate change risk. But without the subsidies, we still get to the same place eventually, just maybe 10-20 years later. This is because renewables are the lowest cost way to make power and whenever they have power to "sell" someone will show up to buy it because it'll be cheaper than all the other alternatives. Again, basic economics.

When fracking changed the relative costs of generating power with coal and natural gas, it took 10-20 years for natural gas plants to drive most coal plants out of business.

The latest price drops in renewables and utility scale battery storage are causing an even bigger disruption that is happening as we speak. Grids are in the middle of a once-in-a-hundred-year transformation that hardly anyone realizes is happening and it's being driven primarily by economics, with some strong tail winds from climate activism.

up the budget to 2500 and you will be able to find something nice. try padmapper (web site) to view rentals. hope you dont have pets, gross 3x the monthly rent and have very good credit.

if your company is making you move, they usually help with relo costs. they also have a long history of massive layoffs when the economy dips.

Some distorted information bubble for sure, because that person is not living in reality.

But they're only interment power sources.

And if they were so economical and profitable there would be no need for subsidies.

Or watching too much internet

If you are experiencing freedom in excess of 4 hours, see a doctor.

Wtf? I think you're watching too much TV.

Conway planning and zoning dept is a meme. Just give the guy an after-the-fact sign permit and move past it.

> IJ’s fight against similar violations of the First Amendment rights of small business owners throughout the country includes a 2020 victory that allowed a North Dakota saloon to keep up its mural, a 2017 win for a Florida video game store that wanted to display an inflatable Mario in front of its store, and a 2013 ruling which permitted a California gym to advertise on a sandwich board out front.

DOMESTIC TERRORISM

Say what you want, agree or disagree as much as you want, but there are sign laws everywhere.

How are you getting around without your spine?

Oh shit. THAT’S where I dropped it

that doesn't mesh with the article: > Less than two weeks after the mural was painted, the inspector visited the bakery and informed Sean that because the mural depicts donuts and scones, and Leavitt’s is a bakery, the mural is considered a “sign” subject to the town’s strict regulations.

further:

>The assistant building inspector informed Sean that he could apply for a variance to keep the mural up. When Sean did so in September 2022 ... the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) voted unanimously against granting the bakery a variance. Then, in November, the ZBA doubled down, again denying the variance.

Seems to me the inspector was doing his job and the zoning board as a whole is against it.

> The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One’s right to life, liberty, and property, to free speech, a free press, freedom of worship and assembly, and other fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections.

US Supreme Court, in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943)

No need to label them with the names of the officials. Everybody there will know who the particular assholes belong to, and there's no chance of counter harassment, libel, or whatever suits(?)

Implication can be more powerful than being explicit(?)

Let's see what the courts say over us two idiots then eh?

Then you obviously have no understanding of the relevant legal principles.

> Leavitt’s Country Bakery owner Sean Young teamed up with the Institute for Justice (IJ) to file the lawsuit, which argues that Conway’s sign code violates his and other town residents’ First Amendment rights.

There is an important difference between these two. Leavitt's speech (e.g., the store's logo) falls within the First Amendment category known as 'commercial speech':

> The “different degree of protection” accorded commercial speech has a number of consequences as regards other First Amendment doctrine. For instance, somewhat broader times, places, and manner regulations are to be tolerated, and the rule against prior restraints may be inapplicable. Further, disseminators of commercial speech are not protected by the overbreadth doctrine.

However, in this case Leavitt simply provided a space (in First Amendment terms, a 'forum') within which the local high school students could create their own speech.

Murals are within the First Amendment category known as 'artistic expression'. And since the high school students did not charge any fee for the art they produced, this artistic expression was by definition not created for commercial purposes, but was instead created as “pure speech” which as a matter of First Amendment law is fully entitled to comprehensive protection.

Ignore the assholes.

You said your housing goals are $1500 - 2000 for a 2 bedroom house which is gonna be hard to find if not impossible.

Check out Zillow and just zoom around to see what I mean. NH is suffering from a huge housing crisis.

Does not make the statement any less true

I guess there is one other person that was interested..so we will see if she comes home with us...I sure am hoping so..the kids are really looking forward to it.
