Also Indian point used to raise the temperature of the hudson by a degree or so. If a water based thermal network uses a river based heat pump, you are technically pulling the heat from the nuclear power plant and placing it in tbe district heating system! Reopen Indian point!

Technically possible? Certainly! You could even place them on the same spots as current natural gas power plants.

However any risk of a meltdown would mean placing it away from the city center. My vote is to place the offshore.

Looks like most places in nyc get around this by having the fire escape external stairs in the back. Is that still legal?

Having dealt with pita fire safety issues, its a lot of money, but it might save a life. Data doesn't always beat clear thinking here.

We should not be working with a country that invades sovereign nations and starts a war that murders children.

Working with them on science means that we are fine with the state invading others. You have to make a whole country suffer when it's leaders are starting wars.

I agree. We gotta have standards. The standard is that citizens vote, make it easier to become a citizen but don't throw all the rules out the window.

Would have been nice if @schumer.senate.gov used his last bit of leverage with the trump admin...

What the actual hell...

I agree public university funding is more important that private university funding, but making this about that instead of an attack on free speech and science... I went there on full need-based financial aid. It's all bad.

Someone is shooting at you with guns and you had some grenades and tossed them over so they could pull the pin and throw them back at you

Please spend the entire time at schumers book event giving him shit about throwing away his leverage. You know what to do on tuesday.

Courts don't lose funding. Are you crazy? I hope you are looking for a warm welcome in NYC.

Are you kidding? We've been showing up to town halls in republican districts, protesting at tesla dealerships, and all we ask is senators fight with us instead of folding like cowards.

I've been a more moderate Democrat that was very happy with biden but the dems are useless now

I can't believe schumer and gillibrand. They just handed the keys to the trump admin with zero fight.
March 14, 2025 at 9:01 PM
what a traitor
March 14, 2025 at 8:56 PM
They have nothing left to fight with. This is it. They better make some demands and hold their ground and play hardball or things are about to get a hell of a lot worse. Deportations for people legally protesting. Jailing opposition. Welcome to New Russia.
