I know a lot of Republicans that hate how both parties have become. We need some independents to vote for. There’s a lot of us that are caught in the middle. I agree with the small govt part of traditional Republicans, and agree with a lot of what the left has. For whatever reason. All we get is some bullshit extreme from either side.

What about normal ass people that just want people to leave them the fuck alone, pay taxes, keep their roads working, and stop wasting (literally stealing) our fucking money

I see we’re just gonna keep the Reddit norm of posting bullshit headlines for clicks

Oh. Also, the company I work for has estimated that demand will grow 50% over the next 10 years, some of it due to demand from electric vehicles. They’re building new plants and wind farms non-stop, and also upgrading transmissions because they make a lot of easy money by letting other companies use their lines

I dont think whoever wrote this understands how power generation works. You don’t make more power than what is being consumed. On days when wind and solar a putting out good amounts of power, they idle down the gas a coal plants to a lower load.

They can’t make excess power, so none of it goes to waste.

Also, I work in the industry in plants around this area… They have been upgrading a lot of shit. And my base plant is actually part of a pilot program to fix a lot of the winter issues they had.

One of the plants I worked in down in that area is relatively new, and it was only engineered for temps at 15 degrees F. It got down to -15 and was fine, thankfully.

I wonder if they’ll ever make that impossible. I used to go on a couple of 6 hour drives twice a week for a long time. A lot of the drive didn’t have cell service, as it was thru a bunch of mountains. I ended up making a python script that downloaded podcast episodes to listen to, and to force my brother to watch Your Mom’s House, when he was with me on the drive.

It was surprisingly simple to do this.
