Well, why are you still driving a car and using electricity?

Well, why are you still driving a car and using electricity?

Well, if for no other reason, I cannot yet afford an EV, and virtually all of the electricity I use is from renewable sources. I drive my vehicles until the wheels fall off, so my next vehicles will be EV's. In the meantime, with that level of question and logic, have you considered being checked for dementia?

Electricity does not come from mostly renewable resources.

Wind and Solar only make up about 5% of our electricity generation.

Exactly.
The desert Southwest is exactly that...a fucken desert.
The dems are responsible for bleeding the Colorado dry.

Funny how the desert was there before humans came here. Now the wrongers wish to attribute the desert to California. Strange how even the other side of earth is dry.

100% of mine. But I'm not an asshole that lives in a shitty. I'm an asshole who lives in the rainforest

The cities are built. Talk to a guy name of Mulholland and you will find the cause.

I dont give a fuck if they're built or not.
Putting them there is a risk..a huge risk. Of course they didnt think about the possibility that they'd outgrow the water source but regardless of that it happened.

las vegas is supposed to be pretty good at conserving water according to Michael Cohen, an expert on the Colorado River basin at the Pacific Institute, an independent think tank focused on water conservation.




“Vegas has done a pretty good job in the last ten-to-14 years now recognizing water is a scarce resource. They’ve done that despite incredible population growth,” “They’re using less water now than they did 14 years ago. … They’ve been aggressive, and they seem to be, at least in the short term, on a reasonably good path.”

Uh-huh....How about all those thirsty people and crops in SoCal, being irrigated from Lake Mead?...The Colorado River is the only large source of fresh water.

so what?.....you said vegas was part of the problem,apparently they are doing their part to conserve...and what crops in S.Cal?...

Well, I stand corrected on that part of my statement....You know I'll say that when it happens.

I overstated that, just 62.2% of Oregon's power comes from renewables.

This is How Much Renewable Energy Oregon is Producing

Within weeks of taking office, President Joe Biden issued a series of executive orders aimed at making the U.S. carbon neutral by 2050. This goal hinges on eliminating greenhouse gas

Wind and solar make up over 10% of our national energy supply. And that percentage is rapidly increasing.

Wrong, the percentage is not “rapidly increasing”. It’s rapidly slowing down since it’s hitting its ceiling. Those sources can only contribute a small amount and are not feasible to sustain a large power grid. They also aren’t financially sustainable so the money is starting to dry up for building new solar and wind generation.

Yeah sure. Let me guess. Its God punishment and Biden is supporting God also. Yep. Got it now.
