Well, the Marxists are forced to restart Nuclear power plants, of course.          







Yes, Samsung is looking to build a battery manufacturing plant in Michigan, but sadly, the state doesn't have the infrastructure needed to supply such an undertaking, let alone charge the EV cars already on the road.
Truth is, you can't do Green without real electricity, and to get that, you need more electricity than Green could ever dream of producing.

Michigan's Palisades nuclear power plant to restart after receiving $1.5B federal loan

The federal government will provide a $1.5 billion loan to restart a nuclear power plant in Covert, Michigan, officials announced Wednesday.

Holtec International acquired the 800-megawatt Palisades plant in 2022 with plans to dismantle it. But now the emphasis is on restarting it by late 2025, following support from the state of Michigan and the Biden administration.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said it would be the first nuclear power plant to be reopened in the U.S. It still faces hurdles, including inspections, testing and the blessing of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, known as the NRC.

And you for sure can't charge them with busted solar panels...

I laughed my ass off when I saw that. In the 35 years I've had an array, I've never lost one panel, thank God.

Fun fact about nuclear power -
Everything in the reactor needs to be made of stainless steel.
Actually, it needs to be LOW CARBON stainless steel.

Sometimes contractors cut corners, and use the cheaper, high carbon stainless.
What happens then is, the radiation causes the carbon
to bond with the chromium, forming chromium carbide.
This depletes the chromium from the steel, making the steel no longer stainless.
It becomes vulnerable to corrosion.

Financiers and politicians either don't know, or don't care about this kind of stuff.
They just want to look good for the moment.
They don't seem to be bothered if they're going to cause another Chernobyl!

There was a plan to deactivate Diablo Canyon, last year. But you can't run all of those cloud servers and Tesla's from wind/solar power

Outside of hydro, there is no other truly reliable power source in the state.
When Nucelinni announced he was going to shut down diablo, I laughed, knowing full well the state would collapse if he did.

I understand "they" have torn down some dams recently. I don't know, just glad I'm out of there.

From what I understand, they were nothing more than old flood control dams, but still, why the sudden purge?
For most thinking people, it would have been an opportunity to replace them with even better damns, but creating more energy doesn't fit the lefts agenda of killing off cheap energy.

This was the very reason the Marxists pushed solar, they knew it was 10 times the cost of electricity, and to pay for it, they increased the cost of energy across the US, claiming the need to stop global warming.

Everything these commies do is designed to destroy America's ability to produce cheaply.
No one believed me 30 years ago when I warned what the left was doing, but I think most get it now.

I'm assuming you're still young, so bailing on the state was your only option, smart move, but be assured, the left will continue to push their goal of destroying the US anyway possible.

72,

Both of us born and raised in So Cal. With the exception of the Air Force years, lived my whole live there.

Yea, saw it coming. Tried... Work Romani's campaign, making cold calls. I was then I realized voting was not going to fix it. And was at a loss as to what would work.

"Both of us"? Who are you related to?

Yep, the GOP sold us out to the Marxist Dims decades back.
Though we'll never know what the GOP got in the deal, it's obvious what the residence of Ca got, fixed elections ever since.

Wife and I.

How it works is, RINOs are Dims throughout their entire being,
except the surface, which is about as thick as an apple peel.

RINOs support the Dims' agenda as strongly as Bernie Sanders does.
But they run for office in districts that would never support anyone like B.S.

So they run as Republicans, just to get people to elect Dims
in districts that would never knowingly elect a Dim.

RINOs lie to their voters, claiming to be conservative,
but work for the Dim party once they get in office.

What they get from the deal is exactly the same as what openly Dim politicians get -
- inside info for investment purposes,
- cushy, high paying jobs for their friends and family, in
government agencies, quasi government agencies (like Fannie Mae, etc.)
beltway bandit contractors and consultants, lobbying firms, etc.

RINOs are just Dims who haven't come out of the closet.

Yeah, that's a given, but this occurred back in the late 60s.
NY was first, LBJ bull dozed the housing projects, sent them out to Ca in 1968.
Ca was far more conservative than Texas by a long shot, Reagan was not.
But at some point the Establishment sold us out, but no one knows what the backroom deal was, was there a trade off for the GOP, what did they get in the deal? this all happened before the Feral govt grew exponentially.
Reagan had just left the Governorship, our streets were clean, people loved this country and state, yet we're supposed to believe we voted in socialists all of a sudden?

Point being, my original question, what did the GOP get when they abandoned Ca, or better yet, why was the GOP obligated in giving the state away to the left?
Were they blackmailed?
Possibly, considering what we saw with Epstein. The left probably had a lot of video on Pubs exposing their hypocrisy, career ending hypocrisy, like pedophilia?

Yes, all guesses, but the GOP never looked back and have to date, done nothing to get our state back.
Money, always follow the money...

I do believe you nailed it. Pedophilia is way too common in politics. It get uncovered and nobody gets punished except the ones who know too much. Not only is the crime protected, but the names are too, from the public. Add to that the vast amounts of money dealt with. How many become millionaires in just a one short term.

But the biggest reason I see that proves they are all in it together, when Trump promises to drain the swamp, they ALL panic.
