Politico ([link removed]) (9/13/19) reports: "The third Democratic debate brought the top-polling candidates together on stage for the first time. And those candidates, in turn, brought some of the most cringe-inducing lines of this presidential cycle. While politicians are rarely without a corny zinger at the ready, Thursday’s debate appeared more chock full of them than normal. Here are some of the buzziest — for better or worse — one-liners of the third debate...In one viral exchange about education, Biden suggested a novel idea to help students from less affluent areas. 'Play the radio, make sure the television — the, excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the phone — make sure that kids hear words. A kid coming from a very poor school — a very poor background will hear 4 million words fewer spoken by the time we get there.' Asked by moderator Jorge Ramos about whether Booker would encourage Americans to
adopt his vegan diet to fight climate change, the New Jersey senator appeared genuinely surprised by the question. 'Um, you know, first of all, I want to say: No. Actually I want to translate that into Spanish: No.'"


** Maybe instead of 3 hours of grandstanding they should watch 3 minutes of School House Rock.

O ([link removed]) ne News Now ([link removed]) (9/12/19) reports: "Anyone keeping up with the Democratic Party knows the presidential contenders claim to embrace windmills and solar power, and say they despise fossil fuels and so-called 'fracking.' Several candidates, in fact, are vowing to ban fracking if voters put them in the White House. 'They're going to have a little bit of trouble doing that,' responds Thomas Pyle at American Energy Alliance (AEA). 'They're going to run into this thing called the Constitution.' Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the injection of fluid into shale beds at high pressure in order to free up petroleum resources such as oil or natural gas."

In the real world there are consequences.

(9/9/19) reports: "Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA (International Energy Agency), told CNBC that a ban on fracking as proposed by some Democratic presidential contenders would have 'major implications' for the U.S. energy industry. 'Just banning this would not be good news, not only for Americans but for Europeans,' Birol told CNBC’s 'Squawk Box Europe' during the World Energy Conference on Monday. Democratic presidential contenders Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris have all advocated plans to ban the fossil fuel extraction process that has catapulted the U.S. to becoming the world’s largest producer of oil. 'This would have major implications on the market for the U.S. economy, for jobs growth and everything, and not good news for energy security, because for example U.S. natural gas provides a lot of security to the markets,' Birol said."

Elon's dirty laundry.

(9/12/19) column: "The hype these days is to stop using those dirty fossil fuel-driven cars and trucks and convert everyone to those clean electric vehicles. But wait! Before you jump onto the EV train, those EV’s have a very dark side of environmental atrocities and a non-existing transparency of human rights abuses associated with mining for the exotic minerals that power the EV’s...The cobalt mined by children and adults in these horrendous conditions in the DRC in Africa then enters the supply chains of some of the world’s biggest brands. There are no known 'clean' supply chains for lithium and cobalt, yet the richest and most powerful companies in the world continue to offer up the most complex and implausible excuses for not investigating their own supply chain. Tesla Motors’ 'dirty little secret' is turning into a major problem for the EV industry—and perhaps mankind. If you think Tesla’s Model S is the green car of the future, think again."

Sorry Bill, hastening the apocalypse won't get you on stage.

(9/12/19) reports: "New York City mayor and presidential candidate Bill de Blasio warned the United States only has 10 years to save the planet from the deadly effects of climate change. Showing his support for the upcoming climate strike, de Blasio said, 'We have ten years to save the planet. TEN YEARS. Today’s leaders are making decisions for our environment that our kids will have to live with. New York City stands with our young people. They’re our conscience. We support the 9/20 #ClimateStrike.' During her appearance on CNN's climate change town hall, Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said the nation had only 11 years to cut emissions before its effects become irreversible. Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said when rolling out her Green New Deal that the country only had 12 years...De Blasio will not be appearing on Thursday's Democratic primary debate after he failed to meet the rules set by the Democratic National Committee."
