Dems never need or want that kind of plan.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3046229]That is the thing about you Mr. Binary. Hell, you cannot even say what the plan is. All you care about is whether there is a are or the behind it.
If Biden did the same thing as Trump, you would not shut up about how great Biden was, and everyone knows it. Thanks for admitting how biased and full of it you are.[/QUOTE]If Biden did the same thing?
Why in the world would Biden or any other Dem suddenly decide to pull some big, stupid stunt like that in order to distract attention and focus from their usual Great Dem Economic Recovery from still another Great Repub Depression, Great Repub Recession or Historic Repub Jobs Destruction?
See, the Dem plan is to initiate, establish, enhance and embellish positive economic, jobs creation and national security trajectories and results, not to reverse them, crash the economy and wipe out millions of jobs. The latter is the Repub Party's plan. And therefore Trump's plan. Once begun, it's then just a matter of Repubs winging it into whatever direction will likely produce the crappiest results for America and the American Working Men and Women.
Sorry, but your comment makes no sense. Biden wasn't interested in finding some way to deflect attention and awareness away from his historically positive economic recovery, economic expansion and jobs creation results into some big, stupid counter-productive stunt. And neither would Trump or any other Repub IF there ever was a time when those were indeed the results Trump and other Repubs had produced. Which there hasn't been.

What does this consistent blather of yours have to do with anything?
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;3046404]Sen. Chuck Schumer.
THEN: "And the President brags about his Venezuela policy. Give us a break. He hasn't brought an end to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful today and more entrenched today than it was when the President began. " (2/5/20).
NOW: "This is reckless. And the American people are just, this morning, in fear of what's going to happen here. " (1/4/26).
Sen. Dick Durbin.
THEN: "The people of Venezuela deserve better than this. We can't allow this President's short attention span to stop us from delivering on our promise to help the Venezuelan people rebuild their country. Though President Trump may seem ready to throw in the towel, I stand committed to aiding the people of Venezuela. " (6/20/19).
NOW: "I disagree with President Trump's use of USA Military forces without Congressional approval & worry deeply about this Admin's follow through on foreign policy interventions. " (1/3/26).
Sen. Chris Van Hollen.
THEN: "The United States is now going to use its levers and influence to push for a negotiation to have a transition to the truly elected leader. Obviously, we know Maduro and his cronies do not want to go quietly into the night, but the United States needs to work with its partners and allies in the region to ratchet up the pressure." (8/2/24).
NOW: "It is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro. " (1/3/26).
Sen. Chris Murphy.
THEN: "If Trump cared about consistency, he would make the realist case for intervention in Venezuela (getting rid of Maduro is good for the United States) rather than trying to pretend his Administration all of the sudden cares about toppling anti-democratic regimes. " (1/23/19).
NOW: "The invasion of Venezuela has nothing to do with American security. Venezuela is not a security threat to the USA " (1/4/26).
Sen. Tim Kaine.
THEN: "This is a deeply concerning development for Venezuelans and for the entire region, since instability abroad impacts us here at home, too. " (9/2/24).
NOW: "President Trump's unauthorized military attack on Venezuela to arrest Maduro. Is a sickening return to a day when the United States asserted the right to dominate the internal political affairs of all nations in the Western Hemisphere. " (1/3/26).
Sen. Amy Klobuchar.
THEN: "I have of course supported bringing in the new president and delegitimizing the Maduro government. You always leave things on the table. " (5/2/19).
NOW: "I have strongly opposed sending American forces into harm's way in Venezuela without authorization from Congress. We should not put Americans at risk in this way without careful deliberation among the people's elected representatives. Wars for regime change can lead to unintended consequences. "(1/3/26).
Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
THEN: "Maduro is a dictator and a crook who has wrecked his country's economy, dismantled its democratic institutions, and profited while his people suffer. The United States should lead the international community in addressing Venezuela's humanitarian crisis and supporting regional efforts to negotiate a political transition. " (7/30/2019).
NOW: "What does it mean that the USA Will 'run' Venezuela, and what will Trump do next around the world? The American people voted for lower costs, not for Trump's dangerous military adventurism overseas that won't make the American people safer. " (1/3/26).
Rep. Jamie Raskin.
THEN: "The democratic world must stand up for the rule of law in Venezuela and oppose Maduro's assault on the electoral process and free speech. The right-wing attack on democratic institutions anywhere is a threat to freedom everywhere. " (8/2/24).
NOW: "Trump is not only violating our Constitution, but he is shredding the rules-based international order created after World War II, whose essential building block is the political sovereignty and territorial integrity of each nation. " (1/4/26).
Rep. Darren Soto.
THEN: "Honored to speak with at cdvorlando yesterday about Venezuelan TPS, raising the reward for Maduro's capture to $100 M, and bringing democracy back to Venezuela. " (10/6/24).
NOW: "Trump's trading one dictator for another just to get oil? This will do NOTHING to help my constituents' family members who just lost their TPS and still can't return home. " (1/5/26).
Well, at least you are consistent Tooms, consistently full of it but consistent. When you talk about that great economy, are you talking about Minnesota? Or Somalia?[/QUOTE]You respond to my posting fully-substantiated data showing the economy that Trump and his MAGAs claim is "the greatest economy ever after the worst economy ever under Biden" producing typically crap Repub results vs Biden's typical far, far superior Dem results as the reason Trump pulled his latest big, stupid distraction stunt by posting Dems denouncing the Maduro regime that Trump's big, stupid distraction stunt has done nothing to remove or replace as proof of what now?
Electrostate vs. Petrostate: Electricity Grid Infrastructure is Key!
[QUOTE=RamDavidson84;3046307][URL]https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14220893/Germanys-wind-power-higher-bills.html[/URL]
Dumbasses! Germany and UK going broke because of Wind and Solar.[/QUOTE][B]If you've actually read the article,[/B] you'll see that the author of the article, clearly points to constraints of the German (or Britain and the rest of Europe for that matter, their) electrical grid infrastructure capacity, as the major bottleneck, for consumers not benefiting from the additional renewable sources, that lead to "soaring energy bills".
But like any good right-wing publication, they'll naturally frame the problem, as renewables, being the cause.
Nevertheless. What the article also grossly disregards or woefully and neglectfully fails to mention, is that the major impact and cause of "soaring energy bills" in Germany, is also due to the following three (3) critical things:
[LIST] the impact and loss of cheap Russian pipeline gas (from Ukraine vs Russian war) and;[/LIST][LIST] their stupid decision to shut down their perfectly good working nuclear power plants (post Fukushima) and;[/LIST][LIST] they poorly rushed into and poorly negotiated, senseless long-term LNG/GAS contracts with the U.S.[/LIST]
[B]Geopolitics and Europes Natural Gas Supply: Aspects and Consequences from a Gas and Electricity Markets Perspective[/B], July 2025, [URL]https://www.intereconomics.eu/contents/year/2025/number/6/article/geopolitics-and-europe-s-natural-gas-supply.html[/URL].
[B]Bottom line:[/B] Most countries, that are seeing a surge in growth of electricity usage, are experiencing higher electricity bills, due to the upgrading of electricity grids and addition of more input energy sources. All three (3) points above and the cost of upgrading the grid infrastructure are primary reasons for the "soaring energy bills" in Germany.
BTW, I'm still curious, what type of energy generation, does NJ want, supplement their grid? And when do they want it?
