All Solar, Et Al, In 12 Years?

[Meandering]

More than that.

How many people were "sold" solar panels on the pitch that when electric rates go up, they'll save more because their savings goes up. Even Mikey spit that pitch out.

Many solar sellers will be on the hook for false advertising, and, wait for it.....

Vicarious liability.

Spiting out charts of projected savings based on projected increases will be the reason many start to fold up, change names and disappear. People were promised they would save, and save even more when rates increased. Ah ha, not the case. Never was, Never will be, economically doesn't work.

What happens when a national weatherman says that climate change is a hoax?

Philippe Verdier, weather chief at France Télévisions, the country’s state broadcaster, has been suspended for publicly criticising Climate Alarmism.

Every night, France’s chief weatherman has told the nation how much wind, sun or rain they can expect the following day.

Now Philippe Verdier, a household name for his nightly forecasts on France 2, has been taken off air after a more controversial announcement – criticising the world’s top climate change experts.
Mr Verdier claims in the book Climat Investigation (Climate Investigation) that leading climatologists and political leaders have “taken the world hostage” with misleading data.

In a promotional video, Mr Verdier said: “Every night I address five million French people to talk to you about the wind, the clouds and the sun. And yet there is something important, very important that I haven’t been able to tell you, because it’s neither the time nor the place to do so.”

He added: “We are hostage to a planetary scandal over climate change – a war machine whose aim is to keep us in fear.”

Hmmm ....

In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Theoretical physicist and Democrat voter Freeman Dyson has expressed his disappointment with President Obama’s stance on climate change.

“It's very sad that in this country, political opinion parted [people's views on climate change],” he said, in an interview with The Register. “I'm 100 percent Democrat myself, and I like Obama. But he took the wrong side on this issue, and the Republicans took the right side.”

Now retired, Dyson was a professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton between 1953 and 1994. Famed for his work in quantum electrodynamics and nuclear engineering, Dyson also worked on climate studies during his career.

Climate change, according to Freeman, “is not a scientific mystery but a human mystery. How does it happen that a whole generation of scientific experts is blind to obvious facts?"

The physicist and mathematician argues that pollution caused by fossil fuels has been conflated with climate change. “Coal is very unpleasant stuff, and there are problems with coal quite apart from climate,” he said. “Pollution is quite separate to the climate problem: one can be solved, and the other cannot, and the public doesn't understand that.”

During his interview with The Register Dyson noted shortcomings in climate models. “What has happened in the past 10 years is that the discrepancies between what's observed and what's predicted have become much stronger,” he said. “It's clear now the models are wrong, but it wasn't so clear 10 years ago. I can't say if they'll always be wrong, but the observations are improving and so the models are becoming more verifiable.”

Dyson also wrote a strong foreword to a report published Monday by The Global Warming Policy Foundation, which calls for a reassessment of carbon dioxide. “To any unprejudiced person reading this account, the facts should be obvious: that the non-climatic effects of carbon dioxide as a sustainer of wildlife and crop plants are enormously beneficial, that the possibly harmful climatic effects of carbon dioxide have been greatly exaggerated, and that the benefits clearly outweigh the possible damage,” he wrote.

Bernie Sanders: Climate Change Is The Biggest National Security Threat
"That is a major crisis."

"The scientific community is telling us if we do not address the global crisis of climate change, transform our energy system away from fossil fuel to sustainable energy, the planet that we're going to be leaving our kids and our grandchildren may well not be habitable," Sanders said. "That is a major crisis."

George Orwell, am I correctly remembering Animal Farm?

It was required reading for us like grade 10 in high school. But funny thing is I don't remember ANY of my kids having to read it, or even being exposed to it.

Climate Change Emerges as a Campaign Theme
All the Democratic candidates vowed to curb global warming

The debate symbolizes an election season that’s ripe with discussions about climate change. Four years ago, the issue barely surfaced. Now both parties are finding new ways to present it for electoral appeal.

Action on climate change is a key consideration for many Democratic voters and the candidates have responded with general plans to confront climbing temperatures.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/climate-change-emerges-as-a-campaign-theme/

Strange, having control of both houses of the legislature and the presidency, the party of climate change did not pass anything to implement their agenda addressing climate change. It was not a campaign issue in 2010, 2012, or 2014. Now for another reason, 2016 is all about climate change. The economy is stalling, the number of people not in the workforce has exploded, the middle-class has all but disappeared, the world is in both a financial crisis and expanding military conflicts and yet the focus in on climate change.

There is the political treat system where politicians give away tax breaks and incentives to alter your behavior to do something you would not do on the merits. It appeals to the avarice who love getting something for nothing or at someone else's expense.

“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself.”
― George Orwell, Animal Farm

When the animals revolted and chased out man from the farm, they formed their own government based upon ideals similar to the communist manifesto. It became perverted, evolved into a totalitarian state with the elite animals oppressing all others.

Thanks.
It was a little fuzzy in the back of my brain writing term papers about it in 1976, but somewhere in the fog, I've found the light. The brain is surviving old age and stress. Nice. Thanks.
