Who pays for the solar panels on these parking lots? All new homes in California have to have rooftop solar. They have too much electricity now (worse than not enough) in the winter when it is sunny and mild (no air conditioning use). The utility pays out-of-state utilities to take that electricity and charges their customers for this.

@giveashitnature @jackson_scruffy OMG there is tons of verification offshore wind turbines kill whales. Just the pounding alone to install them (before the deathening vibration of the spinning mega blades) kills the whales. Unfollowed! You are Full Of Shit!

There’s no good evidence that offshore wind is causing whale deaths, while there are countless studies showing that large commercial shipping harms whales through ship strikes and noise. And a large share of global seaborne trade, roughly 40% by volume, is tied to fossil fuels or energy cargo.

A single whale sequesters as much carbon as 1,000 trees when it dies. When a whale passes on, its carcass sinks to the ocean floor and locks an average of 33 tons of CO2 into the deep sea for potentially thousands of years. While it's alive, it does something even more remarkable. Whales feed in deep water and surface to breathe and poop, pumping iron and nitrogen from the deep ocean up to the sunlit surface where phytoplankton need them to grow. Phytoplankton produce 50% of Earth's oxygen and capture 40% of all CO2 produced globally. Four Amazon rainforests worth of carbon absorption, every year, from organisms you can't see with the naked eye. A 1% increase in phytoplankton productivity from whale activity alone would be equivalent to planting 2 billion mature trees. Whale populations are currently at less than a quarter of their pre-whaling numbers. Some species are at 3%. We didn't just hunt whales. We dismantled a carbon capture system that took millions of years to build.

Can someone please explain, in very simple language, how growing almonds in a Californian desert, draining the local aquifer until the ground subsides, spraying the entire crop with fungicides because almonds can't survive without them, killing off the commercial bee population in the process, then refrigerating the harvest and shipping it six thousand miles to Britain is environmentally friendly, but buying a piece of beef from a farmer twelve miles down the road, whose cattle eat the grass that grows in the rain that falls on the hills that have been there since before anyone had opinions about this, is a planetary emergency? Asking for the cow.

@JamesHu27192912 There is no classification of an "assault weapon" to distinguish it from any other mechanical device sometimes called a "gun"

Rhode Island passed into law an "assault weapons ban" that prohibited the sale, manufacture, and transfer of "assault weapons". But they had a Grandfather Clause that said that if you already OWNED one of these "assault weapons" you could keep it; if you paid a fee and registered it. Well, they just got on the State House Floor and said they are now presenting another bill that would REMOVE the Grandfather Clause and CONFISCATE those "assault weapons"; and if you did not comply, you would spend 10 years in prison. Not only was this presented, it was openly stated that this was the intended goal all along anyways! The first law and BAN was simply the "first step" in DISARMING law abiding citizens. And no, this isn't hyperbole on my part, it was OPENLY STATED ON THE FLOOR OF THE STATE HOUSE. WAKE UP AMERICA! Yes, when they say "no one is coming for your guns" they are LYING! And there is a REASON why we have the 2nd Amendment... THESE PEOPLE! And there it is. Your move citizens of Rhode Island.... or should I say "subjects"? On a related note, it is well past time the SCOTUS ends all this foolishness once and for all. SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.the whisky cowboy

@FireNewz @RepLuna Looks like this is "news" from early March. The republican led house voted to keep the hush fund hush-hush. I don't know the legalities of releasing it through oversight

@RepLuna I hope this is legit... Kudos Rep Luna for taking charge.

A friendly reminder that House Oversight subpoenaed the records of the congressional sexual harassment slush fund and we will be releasing them. Maybe we’ll see more resignations, you never know. #trashday

@nypost Why don't that con man just buy $30m in food and give away for free?

Staggering 8-figure sum NYC taxpayers will pay to fund Mamdani’s first city-owned grocery revealed. Read today's cover here: trib.al/CfovA96

@WestHarlm @AriFleischer It's always the same with these Marxists. And you know damn well the tax payers money will be pocketed, and here some will fund terrorism - you damn well know it!

I'm devastated by this news. I can't sleep. I'm so tired of the corruption in NYC. You can buy a fully operational grocery store in NYC right now for $3M — you'd be open and running in a month. Instead, Mamdani is blowing $30M of taxpayer money and taking 3 yrs to build a new one from scratch. There is no logical reason to build a $30M taxpayer funded grocery store, when you can buy 10 that are already built out, for the same $30M. There is a Costco and an Aldi less than a mile away. Easily accessible by the crosstown bus on 116th or via non-profits that deliver groceries for free. This grocery store isn't about helping NYers. This is corruption: payoffs to contractors, unions, local politicians, and insiders. Why waste $30M when the solution already exists? NYC is headed to a very dark place. If you think corruption in MN and CA is bad... you ain't seen nothing yet. Get out of NYC asap. @BillAckman @RubinReport @NassauExec @elonmusk @apolloglobal

@MikesExWife @JamesHu27192912 *capital

@MikesExWife @JamesHu27192912 My friend has adopted Greyhounds for years. More people that care for sport animals treat them with love and pamper them (even if they don't win) the ones who abuse should receive capitol punishment! I get more upset over animal abuse than

Buried inside the Farm Bill is an amendment backed by 29 members of Congress that would effectively ban hunting with dogs nationwide. No hounds for bear, no rabbit dogs, no coonhunting, no field trials. It was pushed through on a voice vote, disguised as an anti-greyhound racing bill while the real impact on hunting was barely discussed. This is a direct attack on one of the oldest hunting traditions in America. We need to stop it now. Call your representatives and demand this amendment be removed from the Farm Bill. Make it clear hunters are paying attention. If we let this slide, it won’t stop here. We cannot let this happen Aaron B. Futrell, Author|Owner, Delong Lures

Think you can outrun a bison? you can't Think of a bison like a high-performance muscle car. To move a massive body at 35 mph in a split second, you need a massive amount of oxygen, fast. The bison’s wide, reinforced trachea allows for an incredible volume of air to reach the lungs with very little resistance. This "over-sized" airway is what allows bison to maintain high speeds for long distances and recover quickly after a sprint. While a predator might tire out, a bison’s "intake system" keeps their muscles oxygenated and ready for action. This photo shows the vast size difference between a cattle trachea (left) and bison trachea (right).

@TCNetwork Tucker Carlson is employed by the antichrist

The people in charge don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus. Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity. Today's Morning Note newsletter covers Masoud Pezeshkian's condemnation of Trump's “desecration of Jesus,” the Iran War's gutting effects on America's housing market, Colombia's plan to murder Pablo Escobar's hippopotami, and more.

@MeliBee113 @deltamojoworkin @JeremyTurn44728 @JamesHu27192912 Right?

@deltamojoworkin @JeremyTurn44728 @JamesHu27192912 I’ve seen hunters pull off the side of a highway and shoot from their vehicle. So let’s ban trucks???

@dustindoner @liz_churchill10 🎯. the high priests were jealous and felt threatened by Jesus

@liz_churchill10 jesus said he didn't like religious because people will use it to control other people...then they killed him🐑🐑🐑🐑🐺🐑🐑🐑🐑🐺🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑

What on EARTH is going on? Pope Leo XIV just signed the GOLDEN BOOK inside Algeria’s Great Mosque…openly forging the Vatican-Islam super-alliance Pope Francis started. Muslims will be the Army of the Revived Roman Empire Daniel warned about.
