Good morning.<\/p>\n

In the continuing debates over so-called renewable energy, i.e., wind and solar power, some interesting items have come up in my search for information.<\/p>\n

For instance, in the UK, homeowners who leased their roofs to solar companies in exchange for free solar power for their homes are now finding that they are stuck there, owing to the terms of the lease, and are unable to sell their homes.\u00a0 The story from last fall (September 2018) is here:\u00a0 https:\/\/www.thegwpf.com\/another-green-fiasco-the-solar-panel-trap-that-means-you-cant-sell-your-home\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Think it can\u2019t happen here? Think again. A lease is a legal document with binding clauses. If you don\u2019t read it, you\u2019re stuck with it, here and over there. In many instances, these leases were written up with no exit clause for the homeowners and many of the companies that originally leased the roof space have gone out of business, selling the leasing rights to another company. Do you want to deal with a tangle like that?<\/p>\n

In addition, since Googly-eyes Aoc established her public persona with her Green Nude Eel, apparently the threat of being taxed at 70% of your net worth has rattled a few people who were in favor of the Greenbean stuff a few years back. Bill Gates, for instance, slammed the entire business by bringing up its utter impracticality in this video:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth it to take 2 minutes out of your life to watch it. In 2015, he was supportive of the idea, but now \u2013 well, not so much.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if the Common Sense Fairy smacked him in the back of the head, or he suddenly realized that that bimbo from NYC is exactly as dumb as a box of rocks. Well, really, the rocks are probably smarter. Essentially, she\u2019s all about ideas \u2013 IDEAS!!!! \u2013 but not about the practicalities involved, nor in executing them. \u00a0He asks a very practical question in that brief video, e.g., can you make steel?<\/p>\n

As I recall, during Mao Tse-Tung\u2019s Great Leap Famine, during which 30+ million Chinese citizens died of starvation, among other things, Mao bulldozed the peasants into making steel in their backyards. That didn\u2019t work out so well. He also followed Trofim Lysenko\u2019s nonsense about agriculture. \u00a0But he didn\u2019t care, because he was Mao and he didn\u2019t have to care.<\/p>\n

Stalin\u2019s agricultural policy was to take the real, experienced farmers off the farms they had turned into productive acreages over several generations, and turn the farms over to groups who knew nothing about farming. But he was enamored of Trofim Lysenko\u2019s insane ideas of agriculture and as a result, starvation became the order of the day. And he didn\u2019t care. He was Stalin. He didn\u2019t have to care.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s a bit of practicality, the real-world kind: someone wrote a Letter to the Editor of my local newsrag, asking questions in regard to whether or not she had paid her taxes before she got elected. After all, as he says: \u201cshe\u2019s a socialist, in our American government. The problem is that AOC has never had a job, really. She\u2019s a bartender. That means she was taking cash and tips. So someone could put a very attractive woman in that same bar, monitor her for three months, and see what tips and salary were. Then go back and see if [Ms. Googly-eyes] paid the taxes she was supposed to pay on that money. I bet she didn\u2019t because she\u2019s a socialist, and she doesn\u2019t care. It\u2019s all about her.\u201d<\/p>\n

We do have to keep people like Ms. Green Nude Eel in front of us, if for no other reason than to be aware of their level of ignorance and insane, impractical ideas. I guess she thought she could just trounce into Foggy Bottom and have her way, but found out she couldn\u2019t. \u00a0Since her proposal was put into the Congressional Record, it\u2019s still there, no matter how much she wants to hide it. \u00a0I\u2019m very much in favor of an IRS audit of her bartender income.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep a weather eye on this bubbly individual, shall we? I\u2019m quite sure now that she doesn\u2019t know how to do anything practical, including cooking and laundry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
