Can they not use solar energy?
So an emerging neo-COM (as in communist) super power decides to flex its muscle and freeze half of Europe to death by cutting off gas supplies during one of the coldest winters on record.
But not to worry. To protect America's, and our allies interests by choosing a wise and experienced Senate that has the power, and is charged with enacting and enforcing our country's foreign policy, the wise citizens of Minnesota have elected a STAND UP COMEDIAN to represent US interests.
That'll scare the daylights out of the world's bullies and thugs.
Hey Minneapolis .... That's Putin laughing at you dummies!
I want to remind 4Q that the Comm. Party has been out of power in Russia for 20 years. Putin's cadre of oligarchs worship at the same altar of capitalism as you do, comrade, and after the USSR fell and the US used it as an excuse to take advantage of Russia and Russians as much as possible, it just mean that the US was teaching Russia how the game is played.
I think you need to read up on Soviet and Post Soviet History a little more.
So if I don't pay my utilities bill and my gas and electricity are turned off, I should blame a formerly communist country when I freeze? Business is business, isn't it? How can you be "nice" when there is money for energy? The Czechs people do not want the radar in their country, just their leaders want the confrontation. Public opinion is 60 - 70% against the European missile shield in the Czech Republic. The Czechs should understand that business can be just as cruel as politics. Maybe being under Soviet control allowed them to forget the harshness of capitalism.
This is why energy independence is needed. Wind, solar, natural gas...good clean energy. Get the technology and let's get going!
wind (during European winter) ? hah-hah-hah
solar ? .. Oh, God...
natural gas? Isn't exactly what is being used now?
So, what is your idea?
Here in Louisiana we have plenty, it's such a shame we don't have a pipeline running there to help out.
