  1. Past hour
  2. It helps to have between one fifth and one third of your electricity imported from other states. https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=CA#:~:text=California imports more electricity than,from outside of the state. How is “energy transition” going to happen when billions of dollars are flowing out at the time you need billions of dollars to be flowing in?
  3. Last year, for the first time, California ran its electric grid 100% on green energy. It was only for a few minutes, but it represented something that deniers said couldn't be done - to run all of the state's electrical loads, the largest grid in the US, on renewable energy alone. When it happened their response was predictable. "A few minutes? And just one day? What a joke! Wake me up when you can do it for hours, losers." On 30 out of the last 38 days, California generated more than 100% of its power needs for periods of between 15 minutes and 6 hours. The extra power went into batteries to service loads when solar output declined. https://electrek.co/2024/04/15/renewables-met-100-percent-california-energy-demand-30-days/
  4. No kidding. Defense spending is way down and we don't need to worry about Russian nukes or irredentist claims mucking up the new and peaceful world order. Indeed, a bargain at at least twice the price....and counting.
  5. Today
  6. I think there is also a fairly large reduction in the number of people listening to radio - streaming is much better in many cases - especially the audio quality. NPR is hit and miss via streaming services - or those I'm familiar with I suppose.
  7. That is categorically a lie. You said it, and have been defending it ever since. Also he is an editor at NPR and all 88 editors at NPR are Democrats Dude - I just told you that was the point you could have been making this whole time instead of refusing to back down from the thing you obviously got wrong. You were so hell bent on defending your corner that you failed to wrap your brain around the implication of your numbers. Problem is, it just goes straight back to the point I made earlier - your own source says that it was Donald Trump who changed everything. Since 2016, how many conservatives would want to work for an organisation that would ask them to cover Trump in an unbiased manner? Unfortunately there appear to be very few around, they'd all rather win the White House than save their party.

  16. Funny thing in all of this is, that even with all this supposed liberal bias, NPR is still a much better source for factual reporting than anything with a supposed conservative bias. There are a fair number of right leaning media outlets, which one of them would you hold up as providing generally correct reporting? Yet many of those networks seem to be financially doing very well. Which leads me to my opinion, counter to Berliner, that the drop in consumers for NPR is likely more because they are NOT sensationalizing things, than because of diversity and inclusion or not posting Hunter Biden dick pics.
  17. Show it. Show where NPR reported that. Should be simple, you keep claiming it.
  18. He's been suspended from NPR - also some good info in the article
  19. Be even worse if we elect the con-man a second time.
  20. Yet he won the Cold War without firing a shot. A bargain at twice the price.

  23. Truly you have shown yourself to be an opponent of government mandated masking. You have not made or even attempted to make any case that wearing masks does not reduce viral spread. Reducing and slowing the rate of spread was the sole reason for mask mandates. We always knew that we all were going to be infected sooner or later. But one thing is correct. There is no point in continuing the discussion. You are never going to change or give an inch in your opposition to mask mandates no matter their degree of effectiveness.
  24. If the mandate of NPR is to report facts wouldn't republicans be excluded by definition?
  25. “Investors are fading on green energy investment funds due to worries about the sector’s ability to grow and the possible return of former President Donald Trump to the White House, Reuters reported Wednesday, citing analysis conducted by a firm called LSEG Lipper. Funds that invest specifically in green energy companies and products around the world saw investment outflows totaling $4.8 billion during the first quarter of 2024, the largest amount in a single quarter on record, according to Reuters. Meanwhile, the S&P Global Clean Energy Index has tanked by about 10 percentage points this year while the S&P 500 Energy Index — a fund that features many oil and gas companies — is up by more than 16% this year so far.” Looks like the money is doing the talking
