She is the gift that keeps on giving.  This would be a good thread to start on PoA without the link.  Just pose it as a question, “Can we be at 100% renewable energy in ten years” and watch the fun.

Since the issue is posed by a woman, mari would immediately triggered because she would presume that someone somewhere might accidentally inject an opinion that didn't utterly endorse her bullshit and the OP would be banned for something that might happen later. What a bigot.

Look at where energy prices currently stand.  We are awash in fossil fuels in the U.S.  It is so plentiful, and we are finding more all the time that it should be considered "renewable".  The entire anti carbon thing is dying.  None of the predictions the Man Made Climate Change advocates have come true.  People are tired of their B.S. Mantra.

Yet the Media says nothing about the paradox of low energy prices in an expanding economy.  This savings goes right to everyone's bottom line in many, many ways, especially for poor people, and middle income earners who benefit more than the rich from low energy costs.  Energy prices don't just affect our commuting, and home energy costs.  It effects the cost of EVERY product, and service we buy.  It is a HUGE economic benefit.

It was a test more then anything. Had I led with a link to Ocasio-Cortez's article, it would have devolved overnight and been locked.  As it is there have been some good discussions with only a couple of near political responses.

You might also notice that o no one has proffered that ti can be done in ten years.

There are a couple in particular that I think make up a lot of their stories.  It’s hard to believe that they have done everything they profess to have done.  I refrain from calling them out to avoid getting a lifetime ban because I still enjoy the aviation content over there and the fly-in opportunities.  The only real downside over there are the mods.  I can deal with the othe BS.

I have no real knowledge of Shepherd’s career, military or otherwise, but many of his stories definitely seem less than truthful to say the least.

As to Tom D, all I will say is that he gives out a lot of bad advice on maintenance issues and on the regs.  Unfortunately many listen to him. He seems to have a following.

I haven’t really noticed any huge issues with Zeldman though some of his stories have seemed a bit far fetched though not outside the realm of possibility.  At least the ones I’ve read. 

Flying Ron is another teller of tall tales.  He seems to be an expert on everything. 

There are others as well who seem really full of themselves.

So, let me get this straight.  On a site dedicated to burning 100LL, there are some people there that are against fossil fuels?  They actually by into MMGW, yet continue to burn leaded gasoline for fun?  No, that's not hypocritical at all.
