It’s good, but long and hard to internally vocalize. However, if you use it enough it will become a recognizable entity that just has to be viewed to be understood.

Of course, “idiots” also works as a synonym.

Too many GOP elected officials speak with forked tongues.

He is past his “best before date”… if he ever even had one.

I don’t know the answers to your questions, but I do know there are pros and cons to dams. Flood control and power generation are obvious positives. The reservoirs flood land, but also create aquatic habitats and recreation. But I have also heard that decaying plant materials annually generate large quantities of greenhouse gases that offset the “clean” aspect of hydroelectric power.

Personally, I think electric “anything” is preferable to fossil fuel consumption, but convenience (or inconvenience) is an issue. My hybrid vehicle handles much better on electric power than when it switches to gasoline. My electric lawn mower is corded, and cord management is a nuisance. I like electric lighting vs candles or gas lanterns of old (apart from their romanticism). I like the concepts of solar, wind, wave, hydroelectric, geothermal, hydrogen and even nuclear for generation, thereby leaving our hydrocarbons for manufacturing rather than just burning them.

I am in favour of exploring energy concepts that will improve things for society; I don’t agree with sticking to old ways just because “it was good enough for grandad, dad and me, and should be for my kids.”

Yesterday, a Lying Hypocritical Corrupt Leftie.
Today, smartest person in the world.
Tomorrow, POTUS.

Ah, my future surely looks so bright!
But please do not be blinded by the light.
To rule America I think I see
me asking you to be my first VP.

Very noble of you to take one for the team.

Merry Christmas, Kraken.
Merry Christmas, Art.
Merry Christmas, Triple G.

Oh, what the heck... Merry Christmas, Dennis!

Just yanking your chain… successfully, I see!

I resent that remark!!!!!

Today’s 4 most terrifying words are “I am your retribution.”

Actually, he is notorious for 4-word fearful statements…
- Make America Great Again
- I know more about…
- I can fix it
- I did nothing wrong
- The call was perfect
- … and I believe Putin

Rac? Dennis? cwp? I could probably come up with a few more suggestions, but not worth my time.

Funny, but I can’t find THAT statement from Rac anywhere. When/where did he say that??? It IS a direct quote, so it MUST be true!!!

The world, and life in general (climate, energy/power, economy, border, hunger, poverty, war, religion, …), could all be fixed if we solved 3 major problems: anti-gravity, time travel, and reversal of entropy. I am surprised that the smartest person on the planet (“I know more about _____ than anyone.”) hasn’t stepped up to the challenge.

I can accept your first two niggles, but your third paragraph is just plain wrong… on both points.

Overall, your reply shows that the truth is a tough pill for Republicans to swallow.

Obama, Hillary and Trump are standing at the throne of heaven.

God looks at them and says, "Before granting you a place at my side, I must ask you what you have learned, what you believe in."

God asks Obama first: “What do you believe?" He thinks long and hard, looks God in the eye, and says, "I believe in hard work, and in staying true to family and friends. I believe in giving. I was lucky, but I always tried to do right by my countrymen." God can’t help but see the essential goodness of Obama, and offers him a seat to his left.

Then God turns to Hillary and says, "What do you believe?" Hillary says, "I believe passion, discipline, courage and honor are the fundamentals of life. Like Obama I believe in hard work. I, too, have been lucky, but win or lose, I've always tried to be a true patriot and a loyal American." God is greatly moved by Hillary's high-pitched eloquence, and he offers her a seat to his right.

Finally, God turns to Trump and says, "And you, Donald, what do you believe?"
Trump replies, "I believe you're in my seat.”
