“It is all too easy to request others to do things that carry no personal cost to yourself. The question is whether you and others are prepared to make personal sacrifices to achieve the goals of environmental improvement”

The student organizer’s response: “This is an inappropriate and flippant response by the bursar to what we were hoping would be a mature discussion. It’s January and it would be borderline dangerous to switch off the central heating.”

Kinda why I think everyone should have to serve in the military...I don't think we would have >700 bases worldwide...and three wars going at once if we did.

Renewables will NEVER be sufficient to meet our energy needs. Never. And with the mindless rejection of Nuke, the snowflakes have worked themselves into a logical corner from which there is no escape.

Great thread. I wish there were more of this kind of pushback.

The term "gouge" is meaningless. the purchaser always believes he paid too much, and the seller always believes he received too little.
