Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 1 hour ago, Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 said: Not that they are incapable of it... they're just above it. Someone raised in the "asphalt jungle" cannot be bothered to be concerned with the needs of people in the Central Valley or mountain or agricultural areas to remove or trim trees or brush. Hey, Politicos... ever heard of "fire control?" I wonder what the penalty will be for smuggling a chainsaw or weedeater... If they are smuggling it from Mexico, then no problem. None of the people in D.C., that are supposed to be in charge of the border, have bothered to even go down for a look, much less do anything about smuggling.

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I've got the perfect roof facing the perfect direction for solar panels. The only problem is, it's just not cost effective in Georgia. I think they are paying about 3x our rates in California so it might make financial sense there. We have hydroelectric dams and nuclear power plants. No stinking wind mills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I think these morons should experience life without electricity for a few days. It would be a shame if every lawmakers power feed (not lobbyists, but actual electricity) was disrupted for extended periods and often. That would be a real shame.

The last chainsaw I purchased was mail order. I guess they will have to find a way to make that illegal.

By the time you ride this enough to Charge your car to go 300 Miles , you will have pedaled a distance of 15,000 miles or more . So why not just ride the Bike????

bgavin Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I understand some cities (SF, Berkeley?) have also banned natural gas from new construction. No more gas kitchens. Meanwhile, an enterprising couple has come up with the ideal way to conform to electric lawn mowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 The problem with all the "renewable/green" generation plans is they are weather dependent. As long as the sun shines, the wind blows and the rivers flow, things is ok. But as we're seeing in Europe and California, capacity is down due to weather, but demand doesn't diminish. Now they're scrambling with shortages and massive price increases. No one has EVER addressed the issue of how meet demand when the weather doesn't cooperate. We already have a viable delivery system that meets current and future demand. And let's not forget that these greenies are poisoning the earth with the toxic refuse of manufacture and disposal of worn out batteries and equipment. They're determined to kill our planet in order to save it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
