Boatdrinks Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 6 hours ago, Roundybout said: "69% of U.S. adults prioritize developing alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar, over expanding the production of oil, coal and natural gas." "A 72% majority says the federal government should encourage the production of wind and solar power. About half (51%) say it should encourage the use of electric vehicles, while about a third say it should encourage the production of nuclear power (35%) and oil and gas drilling (33%). Fewer (20%) say the federal government should encourage coal mining, with the remainder saying that the government should either discourage coal mining or do neither of these." This clear enough? Our economy runs on cheap, reliable fuel. So sure; just make it cheap, reliable , convenient and readily available. That clear enough? I mean, this should be easy . You’ll be a billionaire in no time. Realistically, I’d venture those numbers would be well under 50% if these well intentioned folks knew what their lifestyle would be like and what they’d have to do without. Don’t worry though, it will get there eventually , though at a pace that occurs organically. Give it about 75-100 years. And yes, you can disregard the loons- the world will still exist.

Orange man probably needs to fail one more time to finally go away for good. And 4 more Biden years aught to properly ***** the rest of the things up he hasn’t gotten to yet and make an electoral pendulum swing a certainty. Ron actually has some decent qualities, even though he’s pretty far right as a legislator, and he doesn’t have the corrupt sleeze of all the Washington scumbags.

You skipped the “taking steps to” before “become” and misunderstood the context of the survey, and secondly asking if someone wants to do some ideal sounding thing without the accompanying sacrifice that individual must make isn’t really soliciting a real opinion. Should we save the trees? Hell yeah save the trees… ok great! Um you can’t afford a house anymore because we stopped building wood frame homes .

Tommy Callahan Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 The difference is right now everyone is feeling and seeing how bad the DEMS(Bidens) policies Hurt people. Hard to Do the "Desantis scare" when his state is doing so well and leads the nation in net domestic migration to it. Trump rubs folks the wrong way, but his base sees DeSantis as Bush light. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 2 hours ago, B-Man said: Disney’s financial fairy tale in Florida is coming to an end thanks to Ron DeSantis FTA: The “declaration of restrictive covenants” gives Disney total control over development and even bans the new board from using Disney’s name or the names of any of its “fanciful characters.” It added what is called a royal clause, used in England since 1692. It specified this “Declaration shall continue in effect until 21 years after the death of the last survivor of the descendants of King Charles III, King of England, living as of the date of this declaration.” Disney may have been too clever by half. The “Hail Mickey” play appears fundamentally flawed. I have been told the new board intends to treat the declaration as null and void. It appears to have strong grounds to do so. Indeed, Disney’s legal case seemed no better planned than its political campaign. First and foremost, under Florida Section 163.3225, a board cannot order such changes without giving a seven-day public notice and other conditions. You are not allowed a jump scare like Space Mountain — you must give notice on your intended measures. There is no indication the board did so. That alone could nullify the declaration. Ordinarily, a board would simply reschedule the vote with proper notice, but the old board is gone. There are also serious problems with a board using a declaration to nullify a state law and pass a development plan with no actual plan for development. It is a curious legal claim that this now-defunct board could negate not just current state law but law for the next 30 years. Instead, the new board will “quit talking and begin doing.” It will proceed with a vengeance. Since the old board is no more, Disney will have to sue to try to enjoin the new board. For new CEO Bob Iger, this could make Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride look like a walk in the park. Disney has no good options. https://nypost.com/2023/04/16/disneys-financial-fairy-tale-is-coming-to-an-end-thanks-to-desantis/ Kinda figured they couldn't just do what they wanted. I wish they could come to an agreement, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
