You don't say. Wind turbines age and have to be replaced, same with solar panels. And as solar panels age, they become less efficient, and thus more expensive.

Like a lot of people, I used to think that subsidies to promote the switch from fossil fuels to solar and wind would be a one-time thing.

Once a solar or wind farm was built, I thought, it would produce electricity forever, without further subsidy, because sunlight and wind are free.

Renewables would thus allow a “sustainable” and even “circular” economy without waste or mining because everything would be recycled.

But it turns out that only nuclear can produce sufficient clean energy to power a circular economy.

Apparently, some psychologists are still giving the utterly unscientific inkblot tests (Rorschach tests.) Very disturbing. Like so much I hear about the "therapy" people are getting.

This is why I prefer to talk to bartenders. They pretend to care, and you pretend to tell the truth. Well, until in vino veritas kicks in. But the barkeep still doesn't care and won't remember, and you can talk about your problems.

And its a heck of lot less expensive, so long as you aren't trying to drink & drive.

Satire, I think.

“I couldn’t believe my ears!” recalled Olivia Jackson, a botanist who was in attendance during the speech, “He started getting edgier, branching off into weird tangents like ‘I am Groot’ and ‘I am Groot.’”

So you're saying they won't reach the Paris climate goals?

A report released today by the International Energy Agency (IEA) warns world leaders that—without support for new nuclear power or lifetime extensions for existing nuclear power plants—the world's climate goals are at risk.

Sounds tasty. How does one become a judge?

When you say ‘varsity’ in Texas, the word ‘football’ usually follows. But how about barbecue?

At Ennis High School, a group of students loves their brisket and ribs just as much as their pigskin.

Last year, the school created its very first competitive barbecue and traveled to cook-offs involving other schools across the state. Only a handful of schools in North Texas have barbecue teams, but the idea is gaining popularity.
