The US will pay a huge price with the economy, the environment and national security for having our heads stuck in the mud regarding renewable fuels. Other countries around the world lead while we have too many old conservatives who just can't accept that there might be a better way forward than f****l f**ls. Every day, we get further behind and the oil, coal and gas executives are laughing at us.

United Kingdom

The UK is a windy place and wind power is growing in importance. Using a combination of grid-connected wind farms and standalone turbines, the United Kingdom now generates more electricity from wind farms than from coal power plants. Some days, Scotland is able to produce enough wind power to supply over 100% of Scottish households. Neighbouring Ireland also continues to set new records, with enough energy to power more than 1.26 million homes being created on just one windy day in 2015.

Germany

For a cloudy country, Germany looks set for a bright future with solar energy. Their renewable energy output including solar has increased more than eightfold since 1990. In 2015, they set a record for meeting up to 78% of the country’s electricity demand with renewables on one highly productive day.

Uruguay

Uruguay is a shining example of how to do it right. Thanks to a supportive regulatory environment and a strong partnership between the public and private sector, the country has invested heavily in wind and solar power, without using subsidies or increasing consumer costs. And as a result, it now boasts a national energy supply that’s 95% renewables-powered, achieved in less than 10 years.

Denmark

Denmark aims to be 100% fossil-fuel-free by 2050 and it plans to use wind power to achieve that goal. They already set a world record in 2014, producing almost 40% of their overall electricity needs from wind power and the latest figures put them firmly on track to meet their first goal of obtaining 50% of their electricity from renewables by the year 2020.

China

They may be the world’s largest polluter, but China is also the world’s biggest investor in renewable energy, with huge investment levels both at home and overseas.  China now owns: five of the world’s six largest solar-module manufacturing firms; the largest wind-turbine manufacturer; the world’s largest lithium ion manufacturer; and the world’s largest electricity utility. China is fully committed to reducing f****l f**l consumption and with its heavily polluted cities has every incentive for doing so.

The latest poll results show President Trump is a 2020 "loser" ... Trump decided that decisive quick action was needed to correct that situation. Our esteemed stable genus leader called in his Secretary of State and ask where to Poles come from. Pompano said, "Sir, my esteemed leader, they are from Poland."

Trump demanded that the President of Poland be called into the Oval Office for a Man2Man understanding. At the meeting with President Duda, Trump demanded that the Poles be favorable to him in the future. He gave President Andrzej Duda money and sent 2000 troops to ensure that in the future the Poles show him to be the winner of the 2020 e******n.

Is giving money to President Dupa to influence the Poles ethical?

Trump knows that he will lose in 2020 and he is desperate for any help he can get. He really doesn't care if that help comes from the most despicable people on earth. This is just more evidence that he cares only about Trump and not our country. He will lose because everything he has done has been solely to hang on to the base like eyesore and nothing to expand support to include the rest of the US. That is why his approval ratings are consistently around 40% and you can't win the presidency with 40% o the v**e.

It has nothing to do with free speech it has to do with the sovereignty of the United States.:


Mueller’s nearly 450-page report granularly describes this and related episodes, revealing how Putin explicitly encouraged his country’s wealthiest and most powerful businessmen to make contact with Trump’s t***sition team after the e******n.



The directives help explain the “flurry” of contact the oligarchs made with Trump’s associates in the weeks following the reality TV star’s unexpected victory, Mueller wrote.

Even though Mueller did not establish any conspiracy between Trump’s team and Russia, the special counsel’s report shows how important it was to Putin to establish a backchannel line of communication to Trump’s t***sition team — and how receptive Trump’s associates were to the overtures.

“As soon as news broke that Trump had been elected President, Russian government officials and prominent Russian businessmen began trying to make inroads into the new Administration,” Mueller’s team wrote in their final report.

"Former CIA Director John Brennan said it is "unnerving" to think President Trump would stop the intelligence community from preventing Russian or other foreign interference in the 2020 p**********l e******n.

Chris Matthews was interviewing Brennan about Trump intervening on behalf of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un when Brennan switched the topic to ignoring interference that would be beneficiary.

"I'm concerned about the upcoming p**********l e******ns," Brennan said Tuesday.

"It's clear that the Russians interfered to help Mr. Trump in 2016. Is Mr. Trump turning a blind eye because he doesn't mind if the Russians involve themselves again to try to enhance his prospects for ree******n?""

"Asked by ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos in the Oval Office on Wednesday whether his campaign would accept such information from foreigners -- such as China or Russia -- or hand it over the FBI, Trump said, "I think maybe you do both."


"I think you might want to listen, there isn't anything wrong with listening," Trump continued. "If somebody called from a country, Norway, [and said] ‘we have information on your opponent' -- oh, I think I'd want to hear it."

President Trump made the remark during an exclusive interview with ABC News over the course of two days, wherein Stephanopoulos joined the president on a visit to Iowa and back to Washington for a day inside the White House."
