and make it permanently dependent on dangerous natural gas? There is huge opposition here to the Penn East pipeline and the reality is that so called "renewable energy" has not, is not, and will not prevent the dependence on dangerous natural gas. In fact, the so called "renewable energy" industry would go out of business in a New York minute without access to gas, since it's widely reported, especially in New Jersey, that the sun goes down every night, and sometimes, tonight for instance, the wind doesn't blow.

So called "renewable energy" hasn't worked, isn't working, and it won't work to prevent climate change. The trillions squandered on it in the last ten years has led to the acceleration, and not the deceleration of the degradation of the atmosphere. It's not "green," - since it requires the mining of increasing rare and often toxic metals and has a low energy to mass ratio. It's not sustainable, it's not reliable and it's not cheap. It is intrinsically a system which requires redundancy.

I'm glad to see someone running other than Phil Murphy, because I'm not for nomination by acclimation, not because I have any real problem with Phil Murphy. Now I feel better, since I can vote for Phil knowing that he has some opposition.

I don't want wind turbines off the shores of New Jersey. They don't last even 25 years before they become trash that needs to be hauled away.

The glib popularity of so called "renewable energy" is a crime against all future generations.

New Jersey already has some of the cleanest electricity in the United States. 50% of it comes from nuclear energy.

It was, um, 405.69 ppm, this after the investment of trillions of dollars in so called "renewable energy" that has not worked, is not working, and will not work.

I'm not in an illiterate and morally vapid "LOL" mood. There's nothing very amusing or funny about the destruction of a beautiful planet because of the uninformed fantasies of people who know nothing at all about the environment.

I find this kind of rhetoric tragic. There's no laughing out loud from me. When history looks back on this generation, it will do so with well deserved disdain.

Have another nice totally oblivious day.

One may take risks to endorse the truth, to argue against or deny the truth but it is still, um, the truth.

Right now they're having a stupidity festival over at Daily Kos, insisting that was is measurable is "unimaginable," because some idiot read a newspaper article about a subject neither he, nor the reporter is competent to understand.

I can't say I miss the place. It's depressing as hell. During the two days this fear and ignorance has been on the recommend list, 16,000 people died from air pollution.

If one wonders how a person like Trump, the reified version of ignorance, could end up sitting in the White House, one should not look only at the right. There is plenty of ignorance on our side as well, and we, and the 7 million people who will die this year from air pollution while we wait stupidly for so called "renewable energy" to work, will pay for it.

Thanks for your kind words.
