Could always build more nuclear power plants.....
We have been conditioned to immediately imagine large nuclear plants capable of making weapons grade nuclear products. However, much smaller facilities are perfectly capable of producing electricity. Like, the size of a one car garage powering a town the size of, say, Reno NV. Maybe a 2 car garage, but nowhere near the behemoth that 3 mile island was.
There are 2 primary reasons we don't do this. It's not profitable for the uber elite, and, not capable of producing weapons.
Basically, free electricity.
No one in charge wants that.
Read an article from science magazine a couple years ago about Russia’s development of small portable nuclear power stations. It was made world news because one exploded or was lost at sea. They wanted to use them for remote military and research sites in the arctic

The French of all people seem to have nuclear power down, something like 80% of their power is provided by nuclear plants. The green agenda just doesn't make any sense to me other than the government picking winners and losers. Hydrogen makes way more sense from an environmental standpoint than all that nasty lithium mining and batteries
Do you know your ESG score?
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.
Local San Jose "Operation Cat Scratch Thiever," a six-month multi-agency investigation resulted in the arrest of 15 suspects and recovery of more then 1,000 catalytic converters.
I was thinking about the Punch Bento Box packaging and learned that factory workers used to use cigar boxes or tobacco tins as lunch boxes so I guess things have come full circle.

Posting this in reference to a conversation on a recent vHerf asking if catalytic converter theft is still a thing.
Last week in North Carolina, a man was in the process of stealing a catalytic converter when the jack slipped and the car crushed him to death. He won't do that again.
Remember: This pork won't cost you a dime.
I have it on good authority.

Most will come true by the next election. Passports, microchips and concentration camps so far. What's next? Probably reeducation camps run by the left.

Those are already here, they're called public schools.
That's bullshít. As a part time educator in a family full of educators, I think you should get some education yourself and disinfect yourself from all the crap you read in your Alex Jones-Sean hannity monthly newsletter.
Public schools in this country are among the best in the world specifically because of the freedom they allow educators to teach with, and this is especially true in the finest institutions of this country.
Only the Sean hannity and Tucker Carlson crowd seem to think the teachers spend precious instructional hours trying to turn kids into transvestites and freaks. We're trying to teach your children and young adults to read and to write and to critically think. We're trying to turn them into productive human beings.
Most of today's political conservatives holding national office cut their teeth in the ivy league oh, the most liberal set of colleges in the country, to include all of the Bush's, the Canadian conservative Ted Cruz oh, and hundreds of others. And they all studied law, the most liberal of the applications of liberal arts!
Even the conservative's political Jesus Ronald Reagan survived 40 years in Beverly hills and went to a tiny liberal arts college that has a history of being one of the most liberal in the country. Can anyone name it besides @webmost and @Amos_Umwhat? Doubt it....
How did they all survive this brainwashing and indoctrination? The answer is that they were not brainwashed. They were not indoctrinated.
Hell I bet most of the people on this forum attended public schools add an average clip of 11.9 years of the 12.
So before you gobble up the next Steve Bannon article or Laura ingraham segment about how a teacher is forcing them innocent Christian boys to dress up in dresses and chop off their weiners, why don't you put your money where your mouth is, and live a day in the life of a teacher? Take home that cool 27 Gs a year, and actually make a difference in your community for 1 second?
Being a teacher has a hard job. It's a thankless job. The next time you see a conservative set-piece about some of whack job doing something wrong at a school, remember that's one out of 10 million teachers.
Also remember that you're actually the little lamb following the butcher into the slaughterhouse. It's just a different butcher and a different slaughterhouse.

You're response is foolish, @VegasFrank, due to the many assumptions you make about me, where I have and have not worked, which politicians I support, and which political commentators I listen to. What you wrote was emotionally driven, not logically driven.
I was a teacher in a public school for two years. Multiple family members of mine are or were teachers and school administrators.
I am not a fan of, nor do I find much I support about, most politicians on either side of the great divide.
I do not listen to, or read, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, or Steve Bannon.
I do not consider Ronald Reagan to be a Conservative Jesus, I consider Jesus Christ to be a Conservative Jesus.
Being a teacher is not a thankless job, the average American would likely declare that teachers deserve more money. This is despite tenure protecting the bad ones from ever being fired, the fact many teachers make more than the national average, and a wonderful vacation schedule.
You obviously came at this from an intensely biased direction, leaving no room for doubts, exceptions, or errors on your part. When I read it all I hear is..."baaa baaa."

Hey man you're the one who said that public schools are indoctrination instrument of the liberal, not me.
And while you claim that most Americans think the teachers deserve more money, it is the American populace that has the power to give it to them, since teachers are publicly funded. Yet Americans don't open the checkbook because they'd rather not spend an extra quarter Penny on every hundred dollars in property value to go toward teacher pay. #thankless
And while you loathe the tenure system that allows crusty ancient relics to keep their jobs in a non-competitive environment, it is the very concept of tenure that makes the American that makes the American education system great. That's called taking the bad with the good.
You can hear whatever you want brother. Frankly I don't give a damn what your background is. I couldn't care less about the 730 days you spent "in the system." Ultimately, I'm not going to standby and let you spew your bullshīt unchecked.
If the schools were full of conservative teachers, we would be having a different conversation, right? But we're not though, because conservatives don't teach, by and large.
So to all of those complainers with fatalistic mindsets, do something about it! Get in there and get your hands dirty or shut the fuçk up.
