When the cheap money dried up and global supply chain costs jumped, major offshore developers worldwide began walking away from key projects, forfeiting massive deposits. Without government-mandated price hikes or taxpayer bailouts, the long-term balance sheets no longer added up. Yet the projects are still pushed to meet political targets — regardless of how high our power bills climb. On land, the story is no better. The giant composite blades and multi-megawatt gearboxes face immense structural wear, turbulence and fatigue. Around years 12 to 15, maintenance costs rocket upward - just as turbine efficiency begins to drop. A hydroelectric dam or traditional power station can run for 60 to 80 years with routine overhauls. A wind turbine faces a brick wall at year 20. Rebuilding a wind farm — dismantling giant towers, disposing of unrecyclable composite blades and replacing nacelles — can consume 50% to 70% of the original capital outlay. As turbines age, they also suffer severe 'value cannibalisation'. Because every turbine in a region generates power at the exact same time when the wind blows, they routinely collapse wholesale prices into negative territory. They produce power when it is worth the least. We are repeatedly told that wind is 'the cheapest source of electricity'. If true, why does the sector require permanent economic underwriting to keep investor confidence? The market doesn't pay for energy at average production costs; it pays for energy when and where it is needed. The true cost of wind includes long-distance transmission lines, fast-ramping back-up generation and frequency control. Without long-term Contracts for Difference (CfDs) and guaranteed floor prices, the core business model of wind energy implodes like a house of cards when exposed to true, unsubsidised market forces.

Meat processors are included in this amnesty bill. They are also one of the biggest employers of illegal aliens. Meat processors also seem to be immune from large scale ICE raids. I wonder why that is?

Courtroom drama..😳

Not true. Also, in my experience homeschool students tend to be noticeably well-behaved.

Suspension of disbelief is a crucial aspect of any period piece of fiction or any historical movie. If the audience is force-fed diversity from a modern society in a society where this diversity didn't exist, replacing real characters that have a real race and aesthetic in the source material or in the historical record than it totally destroys your immersion in the time period. The entire reason people love these stories is because they want to be taken out of modern society and immersed in a time that once was. If you just superimpose modern society on top of it, it defeats the entire fucking purpose. A fucking 12 year old understands this.

One of the problems with a lot of online fem-o-sphere content is that women are NOT learning "the hard but fair truth about men." They are learning mostly bullshit: Tate-level stuff. Married mothers with kids and normal husbands are by FAR the happiest human women. Only 24% of young women know/believe this.
