  • There’s a difference between an ill-advised third party run and collusion with Russia. Stein is mentioned once in this article with zero evidence of a connection.

    Did Russia try to unilaterally boost Stein’s campaign (along with all third party candidates)? Likely.

    Should Stein have dropped out if she knew this? No.

    Should Stein have dropped out because she was contributing to Trump’s win? Yes.






  • Solar plus batteries are already cheaper than nuclear, and only going down. Nuclear has always gotten more expensive over time. For the cost of the most recently completed nuclear plant in the US they could have built 12 times the nameplate capacity worth of solar with 24 hours of battery backup. (A totally unnecessary amount of dispatchability.)

    Solar and batteries easily “pay” for their manufacturing carbon emissions within 1-2 years max (as does nuclear). This payback period only goes down as the grid gets greener.
