Like Harvard keeping Asians out in favor of less qualified blacks? The President is a fink. |

I’ve never pretended that meritocracy is the only important consideration. For instance, I’m fine with someone handicapped being given a job, that someone not handicapped might be better at. As long as it is safe for everyone involved. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Some people might call a stance like that bigoted. Lumping blacks in with handicapped persons. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

A bigoted person might jump to that conclusion. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Yup, as it happened to be a perfect example of people we sometimes give jobs to, who may not be as qualified as people available for the job, You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It would be a mistake to blame fracking on President Trump. Coal peaked for electrical production in 2007 near the end of the GW Bush administration, so natural gas production increased by over 50% in the eight years of the Obama administration. Natural gas produces half the carbon dioxide emissions of coal, and it is very often the least expensive fuel for building new electrical generation plants. Natural gas is by far the most common way to generate electricity today with nuclear, coal, and renewables(*) in a three way tie for second place renewables(*) : I am including conventional hydroelectric power with renewables. Californians have been battling hydroelectric for roughly 50 years, and it is not considered a renewable under current state law. |
