I keep having dreams where I'm a student and I've been accidentally skipping one class all semester because I forgot I signed up for it and now it's past the drop date.

I'm also a professor.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

I just had someone try to tell me that was a gender-neutral insult.

Really, my good man? And what color is the sky on the planet you are from?

We’re seeing it in Little Rock

Bro just made a great economics argument for single-payer healthcare.

American here - visited Calgary in May. I'd move there in half a heartbeat.

Sorry for all the noise next door. Hopefully soon we can return to being merely irritating instead of scary.

My wife was fired from her job in the early 90's after telling her employer she was pregnant. They did this to 5-6 other women over the course of a few years.

So it is easy to see that not only are clean energy sources good for the environment, they also have an economic and political levelling effect. Is it any wonder why elite interests would push back on them? They are a threat to their power and wealth.

There are geo-political considerations as well. What happens to the economic power of countries when their one major export - hydrocarbons - has its demand slashed? What happens when just _anyone_ can put up a solar or wind farm for themselves?

When the demand for the scarce resource oil and gas companies extract is reduced, the companies suffer. Even market fluctuations are enough to cause huge upsets in this industry.

Imagine what happens when their product is no longer needed for grid energy production?

Opposition to this is deeply entrenched but so is the narrative. It is difficult to shift a deeply-held belief that somehow solar and wind are fringe technologies not ready for primetime.

Cui bono? Well, anyone making money off of hydrocarbon extraction.

Exactly what I was about to post - signed, Clean Energy Researcher.

Dutch sounds exactly like someone speaking English to me but I have a closed head injury.
