Reply to 9-6 is the new 9-5 by totoropotatoes

I've never worked somewhere that was 8 hours INCLUDING lunch. It's always been 8 hours working and lunch is separate. The places that pay for your lunch period are the rarity, I think ! Or they just call it a 35 hour week , everyone is exempt , and work through lunch.

Reply to What are the *specific* benefits we can anticipate from the wind farms off the coast? by 3kool5you

the price of electricity from wind won't go up if Russia or some other fossil fuel nation decides they want to extort money from the rest of the world. In 1973 we had an economy that was screwed for a decade or longer after Saudi Arabia stopped selling oil to us and other geopolitics. With all the energy efficiency codes and energy independence in the last 40 years Russia invaded Ukraine and it had no effect on us but look at what happened in Europe

​

and over time there will be less fossil fuel infrastructure

Reply to Those idiot in NJ will surely fall for our lies if we make claims with no evidence and pretend to care about the whales like they do! by New_Stats

They said/say the same thing about birds and windfarms on land. Yeah, the occassional bird gets hit by a blade and dies, it's sad. Not compare that to the millions of birds who die from contaminated air and water pollution? How much wildlife dies when a pipeline bursts or tanker spills? It's a joke that these people hide behind birds when they say they don't like wind farms.

(Also, they've started painting wind blades to make them easier for birds to see. Dropping the rate of bird deaths by an estimated 90%)

They think they're clever by pointing out a hypocrisy, but nobody they'll telling that too has any trouble differentiating between somethings that's airborne contagious and something that isn't.

The people who were complaining about wind turbines to be actually believed the BS. They floundered when I pressed them to explain how an wind driven electrician generator was supposed make more heat then a coal/NG driven electrician generator.
