Your response is typical of the progressives: dismissive and personal attacks. Like I said, I can not force you to see the other side, only you can if you follow your curiosity. It's your choice, but it's comforting to believe the

How the Biden laptop story was framed and shut down just before the election. How it was a concerted effort between FBI, big tech and media done behind the scene. How everyone went along with it. If that is nothing new, what a joke is the e

It’s starting to decrease! The US, Europe and other places. Expect the poorer place to follow as they get to use the same technology. Solar PV is going to be huge and will replace most other sources. Our biggest problem is population aging
