That’d be Chris Christy.

There’s apparently some people in the back who still can’t hear it. Somewhere around 20-40% of the US population.
Non-state actors who use violence or the threat of violence to achieve political aims.
Yup, checks all the boxes.
Lithium batteries are often -30 to 80C, but that’s just saying what’s possible to squeeze some kind of voltage out of them. Basic principle is that the colder it is, the harder it is for chemical reactions to happen, and thus this will affect all chemical batteries to some degree.
There’s often an alternative way of looking at things that can make seemingly inconsistent positions become consistent. In this case, it’s control. They want to control children and they want to control women’s bodies. How this happens morphs in each situation, but the underlying goal is there.
I am absolutely certain that experts have looked at it, and come to different conclusions.
I’ll even go as far as to accept that there is no scientific consensus.
And what reference do you have for that? A recent one, because as I said, the economics have totally changed in the last 30 years.
Nuclear power doesn’t really produce co2
Concrete does. Reactors need a lot of concrete. A lot.
Renewables are still not ready to deal with base load in a power grid long term
Which doesn’t matter. Base load exists because it’s cheap to make power plants that stay at the same level all the time. The economics of that don’t apply to renewables.
Nothing, nuclear power will buy us time
Utterly untrue. It’ll take 10 years to deploy a single new GW of nuclear. That’s not buying time.
You don’t have to pay to “prove” I’m right. You just have to accept that experts have looked at this, and nuclear does not need to be part of the conversation. Not beyond keeping whatever we have already, at least.
Oh, fuck a book, aahhhhhh
The newer sodium batteries are comparable to LFP batteries from a few years ago.
Nuclear power should be expanded, a lot, it is the only realistic way to replace fossil plats for base demand.
This 90’s talking point against Greenpeace is no longer valid. The economics have changed.

The other side of that is matching supply to demand is basically instant. You pull power from batteries and they give you more (provided they’re not at their safe limit). There’s always a lag in getting turbines to spin up and down, and so there’s a non-trivial mismatch time.
While you’re not wrong, sodium batteries coming on the market have 200 Wh/kg. This is comparable to where LFP batteries were a few years ago. That means the newer sodium batteries are about as good as what’s in lots of EVs right now.
They are dirt cheap, don’t have the fire safety issues as some lithium chemistries (not all lithium chemistries do that), and sodium is abundant.
I think your confusion is warranted, because it’s not clear how SCOTUS’ decision is different from what the Constitution comes right out and says. On the surface, it does seem to just reaffirm what we already know, and maybe the liberal justices are just whinging.
The trick is that they did it in a way that causes a lot more work in the courts. In turn, that means Trump’s trials get delayed further.
Nobody sane is going to argue that getting a hostile crowd to surround and storm the capitol while an important procedural vote is taking place is an official act of a President. But now it has to be ruled on, specifically, and that’s one more thing to add to the pile before the obvious verdict can be reached.
Trump’s lawyers have already filed an argument in the hush money case that certain points of evidence should be removed because they were official acts. If so, that would potentially result in a mistrial, and so the only Trump criminal case that went forward would have to be redone.
There is an actual legal principle of laws simply going out of date, even if they don’t explicitly have a sunset date.

It’s more common in the UK, where you have 1200 year old laws banning wearing of sandles on Thursdays, but it pops up in other Common Law countries, too, including the US.
Cults of personality don’t work that way. They don’t get replacements. They can try, but they’re not likely to reach a critical threshold of votes. They may not even reach a House or Senate majority, and Project 2025 can’t go ahead at the federal level without all three.
If anything, we need to double down on freight. Get all the long haul trucks off the highways that we can.
How come Trump gets to be as polarizing as he wants, but nobody to the left of McConnell can?
You keep doing this thing where you presume I don’t know about some issue
Maybe because you way overestimate the reliability of old drives. Yes, 10 year old drives can work. Doesn’t mean you should trust them with anything other than getting the data off of it.
If that Russian Trump piss tape does exist, the other people involved are almost certainly underage.
