your realize how silly that argument is right? the ONLY reason the Senate was Democrat is because a R wanted to make a statement and switched his party affiliation resulting in tie... he wasn't a democrat and didn't vote like one.

​

The last time Democrats held an actual majority was 1979, and they only held it during the 70's,

​

Democrats have only actually controlled the senate for 10 years in the states history

Its a US problem, not 3 mile specifically. the US has built 1 new Nuclear plant in this century. We've literally only built 2 in the last 40 years...

​

"but what about 3 mile island, Fukushima, and Chernobyl!" ... that is a near miss, a failure of insane stupidity caused by poor training, and a tidal wave 46 FEET high caused by a magnitude 9 earthquake (the 4th strongest quake EVER). Nuclear power is incredibly safe, and historically always has been... fossil fuels are the absolute opposite. their pollution kills millions a year, their environmental destruction is massive, and they are unsafe

​

Who remembers the Kingston Power Plant disaster? nobody? it was only 14 years ago! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_Fossil_Plant_coal_fly_ash_slurry_spill

​

What about the Connecticut Power Plant explosion that killed 5 people?... no? it was 8 years ago! - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Connecticut_power_plant_explosion

​

What about the ConEdison Powerplant explosion in NY? Luckily nobody died... but that was just due to a Cat 1 Hurricane

​

and those are only ones specifically AT power plants in the last 15 years, in the US... lol

First, the well EXPLODED on 1/1/2009 according to the article... so not sure how Obama is involved here? He wasn't president until 3 weeks AFTER the well had already exploded. so thank Bush for this.

​

As for Obama's ruling, the problem here is first, "potentially carcinogenic". as far as I know the actual recipe of what they use to frack with isn't fully known to the public and there isn't a single combination used, in this case it had nothing at all to do with the material used, and is just fracking in general, they hit a methane pocket and opened it up,

and second: Obama's rulings were the first time companies HAD to disclose what was in their fluid and there HAS been a set standard of what needs to happen with fracking fluids (thanks to Obama btw)... until Trump removed them

https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/05/us/new-fracking-rule-is-issued-by-obama-administration.html

​

also... https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/366704-trump-to-repeal-obama-fracking-rule/

​

So basically, Obama is in no way related to this story, since it happened before him, Bush owns this, and he DID try adding restrictions to the fracking industry, Trump removed them

Is that all you want lol

​

you need to just go visit it for a week to find a location you would like to stay. your requirements are all over the place "I want rural, but urban, with a small feel like Morris County, but also be racially diverse, I want cheap, but no roomates, I want WiFi... I assume you mean high speed internet, and I want it to be a metro area with not boring roads...

​

you really just need to go and visit some areas before trying to settle down.

those windows are basically the same as just having no window at all. Invest in heavy insulated curtains and electric baseboards right below?

​

it also sounds like you really need to find a different heat source... electric heat primarily works by blocking cold air from coming in (which is why they are always under windows).

​

Sorry you are getting screwed... I don't know what options you have other then broiler/natural gas... but those are going to be expensive as well with those winodws

was thinking the same thing... its been shit for decades unless anyone actually believes that there were 4,582 abuse cases in the ENTIRE state... I'm guessing if you dig into the data only like Philadelphia is reporting or something.

​

just like bullying... school districts with 500+ students reporting 0 bullying... yeah okay...
