Implementing modern drilling and recovery methods for a sustainable future. Prospera Energy aims to become a low-cost producer, operating in compliance with regulatory and environmental standards.

Re: the meme here, two quick points:

If you believe that your kids are engulfed in messaging, especially from their school teachers, that tells them that “America is terrible,” you’re a gullible, brainwashed fool.

If you dispute the idea that your country should be presented objectively for its strengths and weaknesses, thus shutting our people off from the information they need to observe and fix its problems, you’re a good deal worse.

This is one of the twits whose message is that America’s “two tiers of justice” means that rich and powerful people like Trump are treated more harshly by our legal system than common citizens.

“In an administration defined by lawlessness, Peter Navarro was one of the most lawless,” said ethics expert Noah Bookbinder. “It is positive that he was convicted.”

Here’s another variation on the theme of storing off-peak energy by pushing a mass uphill, and then releasing the mass when energy is needed.  Think of it as pumped hydro without the hydro.

This has an advantage over competitive ideas in that no natural change of elevation is required; you simply dig a deep hole in the ground and seal the walls so it doesn’t cave in.

The problem, as I’ve covered extensively over the years, is that battery technology is improving steadily, where this concept is based on the discoveries of Newton (~1660) and Faraday (~1830) and cannot possibly become more efficient or energy dense over time.

The meme  here reminds us of a sad fact: there will always be irreconcilable differences between the left and the right.  That’s because, regardless of what the left happens to want America to become, there will always be words in the English language that Fox News and the like can use to twist progressives’ ideas into something malignant.
