many people don't believe this is an existential crisis for long term human civilization because so far, many people have been able to adapt to the changes that they have experienced, so far it has already become an existential crisis for some people living in and around Miami as king tides increasingly impact low lying neighborhoods; people can't sell their homes because the value is greatly diminished due the reoccurring sunny day flooding, which is progressively getting worse. for a person who lives in such a neighborhood and needs to sell and leave, it IS an existential crisis. same goes for millions who live on only feet above sea level in southeast Asia, which have substantially less means that the home owner getting flooded out in southern Florida has we've been discussing AGW/climate change and it's on-going effects since the 1970s. it's well understood. because the facts and basis for it are so widely accepted, there is a general frustration with people who won't accept the facts, or modify their behaviors accordingly

lol at wall street journal opinion articles; everyone has opinions, but just because someone typed their opinion, and you believe it, does not make it true here are some facts: link and link and if you want to look at "actual" numbers, you need to include operating costs including fuel inputs over the life of the facility, not just cost to build; and for nuclear, you need to include the cost of long term storage and disposal of radioactive components from the plant operations if you want try again and this time include operational costs to support your opinion, please do so

false statement the true drivers of increased energy and electricity costs are increasing costs to maintain and expand an aging grid, the increasing price for fossil fuels, the increase in energy demand, and a general utility regulatory structure that prioritizes investment in massive power plants that have long capital pay-back periods and let's not forget about the abysmally expensive energy policy choices implemented by the current administration

the hospitality of the Vermont folks is superior to the northern Connecticut hills, that's why people go to Vermont and Connecticut's hill towns look like ass compared to the majestic mountains of northern Vermont 46/46

the difference is one is wishcasting, the other is forecasting 53/47 with clear sunny skies

I guess it's possible to believe that, if you've bought into all the brown lobby talking points perhaps you should consider looking under the hood more at the whole story

unskilled labor in the US is not expensive and our environmental and human rights protections have been substantially degraded over the past 2 years under a similarly tyrannical regime the petroleum business receives vastly bigger subsidies than renewables no it's not, i live in a house that has a solar energy system on the roof that produces more electricity on average than I use wind farms can be built near the coast; the coasts are where population is most concentrated

we are working on that, but commercial fusion on a public grid is still at least a decade away if you are referring to fission reactors, lots of those being built around the world; but in the US the folks that have money to invest in energy generation know financial risk vs. reward doesn't pencil compared to other energy investments like renewables

correction: when it's 33, that cold; when it's 70, that's not cold

the word at the local farmer's market is that freshly ripened tomatoes and peppers will be available from that hill through December
