That fact that people in Texas of all places are suddenly concerned with groundwater is really rich. Can you say 'fracking'? There, I knew you could. Can you say "injection wells" also, as well as "disposal wells"? When the oil/gas companies f'up the groundwater that we ALL take for granted.... it will be too late. Everyone will be crying for green tech.

LOL.... and they will have no power to Run that "green" tech, OR, the power that is available is so expensive that only the WEALTHY can actually use it to maintain a basic lifestyle.

This sounds like super idea that will never have unintended consequences.
So when I bill my clients... I can put a nominal charge on there for $1... then let them pay the rest (many thousand or tens of thousands) as a tip... thereby avoiding tax.
If anyone has liberal friends that are "on the fence", please send them a link to this YT video about the "tough on crime" Kamala and her sudden left turn to "catch and release.".

You're ok. You are just ignorant. Ignorant of the fact that renewables are pushing electricity costs negative at times, and the degree which fossil fuels are subsidized by tax dollars from you and I. Do you enjoy seeing people you know die overseas to "protect freedom/oil"? You've got dead soldiers, direct subsidies, groundwater contamination, air pollution (200,000 dead Americans each year alone), other health consequences, and more others items/issues than I can count.
I'm toying with you all. In an honest debate, using FACTS, it's little challenge to whip your ass up and down the street. But y'all seem to enjoy being ignorant and wrong.
We didn't leave the stone age because we ran out of stones.

Whoa: Trump Hits 52% in New Harvard/Harris Poll
Say, whose honeymoon is this, anyway? Supposedly, Kamala Harris has "totally upended" the race with The Anointment and the media's rush to proclaim the advent of "Kamalot." Also, Donald Trump only has a ceiling in the mid-40s and can't possibly win an outright popular-vote majority, especially with such a Historic Candidate™ as an opponent.
Or so analysts thought. According to a new Harvard-Harris CAPS poll, Donald Trump leads Kamala Harris 52/48 with leaners, and 48/45 without. Harris has improved Joe Biden's numbers on the latter, but not the former:
[cut]
Even the unsure voters are breaking toward Trump, at least somewhat. The more worrisome data for Democrats are in the charts below, however. Trump holds Republicans to the ticket better than Harris holds her own party in both formulations. In fact, her 87% without leaners should be a red flag for the DNC, suggesting strongly that the party is not as sold on The Anointing as the media claims, even with the full-court press on Kamalot!
Take a look at the indie numbers, too. Trump leads by six points without leaners -- and six points with leaners. One has to wonder whether the sample tilts a bit toward the Dems based on those results plus the party loyalty numbers above. If so, Trump's still scoring an outright majority over Harris, who's attractiveness as a candidate is at its zenith before she's forced to open her mouth about policy.
In the next slide down, we see even more demographic red flags ahead for Harris and the Dems. Trump leads by 12 among men and only trails by four among women 44/48. Trump also wins an astounding 25% of the black vote and 44% of the Hispanic vote, which is slightly lower than in some other polling.

Kamala Harris's Father Slams Her for 'Fraudulently Stereotyping' Jamaicans With Pot Comments, Accuses Her of Pursuing 'Identity Politics': Report
After Senator Kamala Harris admitted she smoked pot and supported marijuana legalization because "half my family's from Jamaica" during an interview last week, her father has publicly criticized her for fraudulently stereotyping Jamaicans as "pot-smoking joy seekers" and accused the 2020 presidential candidate of pursuing "identity politics."
Donald Harris, a retired Stanford professor, rebuked Harris's comments linking her Jamaican heritage to her pot use during an interview with The Breakfast Club radio show last week.
"My dear departed grandmothers...as well as my deceased parents, must be turning in their grave right now to see their family's name, reputation and proud Jamaican identity being connected, in any way, jokingly or not, with the fraudulent stereotype of a pot-smoking joy seeker and in the pursuit of identity politics," he said in a statement to Jamaica Global Online last week.
"Speaking for myself and my immediate Jamaican family, we wish to categorically dissociate ourselves from this travesty," Donald Harris added.
Kamala Harris stopped by the Breakfast Club, a nationally syndicated morning show, last Monday to talk about her 2020 presidential run, criminal justice reform and legalizing pot in America. During the 44-minute-long interview, the Democratic candidate was asked about rumors that she opposes the legalization of pot in America.

"That's not true," Harris said. "And look, I joke about it— half joking—half my family is from Jamaica. Are you kidding me?"
Later, host Charlamagne Tha God questioned her on whether she had smoked the drug. "I have. And I inhaled. I did inhale. It was a joint," Harris said, adding that she used pot during college.
"So if it was legalized all throughout the country, and medicinal, would you again?" Charlamagne pressed.
Listen," Harris responded, "I think that it gives a lot of people joy, and we need more joy."
She continued: "Not all drugs are the same. We have incarcerated so many, particularly young men—and young men of color—in a way that we have not, for the same level of use, other young men. And we've got to deal with that."
Harris has emerged as a top candidate in recent weeks among a crowded and diverse field of Democrats. Her mother, who died in 2009 from cancer at age 70, was Tamil Indian, and her father is Jamaican.
