Hawaiian Power Company Could Have Replaced the Aging Transmission Wires That Sparked the Wildfires — But Spent Its Money on “Climate Change” Instead

—Ace

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Hawaiian Electric, the biggest power supplier in the state, focused on shifting to renewable energy sources to combat climate change, rather than spending money to address fire risk around its power lines. 

Earlier that day, John Podesta, a left-wing stalwart who advises President Joe Biden on clean energy, took to the White House podium to blame climate change for the wildfire in Maui, which destroyed Lahaina and has likely killed hundreds of people.

 

Even faced with the reality that spending money on wasteful green feelgoodery actually killed hundreds of people, the cultish left shrieks about their Heroic Mission to Fight the Weather.

Tucker Carlson interviews RFK.

Long, but fascinating.  Pity he’s a Kennedy and I could never vote for him, but this interview changed my view on Robert Kennedy.

 

He describes the workings of the Deep State better than anyone I’ve heard previously.

Massachusetts denies Catholics the right to adopt

Helped by the Becket Law legal aid group, Mike and Kitty Burke filed suit on Aug. 8 against state officials who rejected their application to be foster parents. In an exhaustive screening process, state agents gave the Burkes high marks and glowing comments, but the state turned them down because their Catholic “faith is not supportive” of the state’s promotion of transgender medical procedures. The Burkes’ beliefs on sexuality were the sole reason for the denial.

As explained by the Prophet Robert A. Heinlein, many years ago.

Posted on August 10, 2023 by On the North River

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded—here and there, now and then—are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

This is from “Notebooks of Lazarus Long” by Robert A. Heinlein, in Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact, June 1973, p. 77.

Also Heinlein…

Co2

Posted on August 10, 2023 by On the North River

If the Co2 in the atmosphere were halved, plants would die.
If the Co2 in the atmosphere were doubled, plants would thrive. And there would be no observable ill effects otherwise.

Hold Dr. Fauci criminally accountable

Posted on August 10, 2023 by On the North River

hold Dr. Fauci criminally accountable

The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday, “Republican Sen. Rand Paul is recommending the top prosecutor in Washington, D.C., pursue an investigation and possible criminal charges against Dr. Anthony Fauci for allegedly lying under oath about COVID-19 origins.”

The outlet continued, “Paul sent a letter to D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves Tuesday, demanding an investigation into Fauci for allegedly committing perjury during a congressional hearing in 2021 when he said that COVID did not come from a Chinese lab.”

Rand Paul
@RandPaul
Since AG Garland doesn’t appear to want to do his job, I’ve today sent evidence for a criminal referral for Anthony Fauci to the US Attorney in DC.

Good effort.   But we all know that the DOJ will not raise one little finger to investigate any charges against this charter member of the deep state.
