I visited Southern California recently for a niece's wedding. She wanted to have it near Joshua Tree National Monument. We drove to Yucca Valley from Phoenix in 115 F heat. In San Bernadino County we passed a huge mountain valley completely studded with wind turbines. It's already some of the ugliest terrain on the face of the earth, so ugly even Phoenix people were muttering: I can't wait to get out of here. But the turbines! It's ugly-squared!

The fields covered with solar cells are equally bleak and I feel bad for the creatures who have them looming over them.

When I was still teaching physics at our local state university campus I would show my students videos of wind turbine fails for comic relief. YouTube has a number of these. Where I live, some have been taken down. They are a total joke.

That's tragic. I hear they are cutting down thousands of acres of Joshua trees to install solar panels too. So glad I visited that area years ago before it was vandalised by the eco-zealots.

There are also the power lines needed to connect them to the grid, which literally tear up the countryside

Yes, those too. Even Green politicians are protesting about overhead power lines.

Napoleon is often quoted as having stated "never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Starmer, Reeves and "The Millipede" are destined for a head on collision with reality. 😉

Problem is, their mistake is egg on the face for them, whilst they and their pals get very rich. We end up much, much poorer, without a car and sitting in the dark and cold.

Thus it ever was, I'm afraid.

Great Job Jaime - can’t wait for the push back, that or the reality shock

The Kneeler needs to realise he might have won a lot of seats, but he had a historically low number of votes from a an almost unprecedentedly poor turnout.

And then there's the Islamist issue...

So his support is a great deal, weaker than it appears at first glance.

And lack of appreciation of that is what is going to sink him.

Only 1 in 5 voted Labour - Starmers ‘majority’ is built on sand

I think this is called being drunk with power.

Not being a Brit I didn’t understand the reference to Rachel Reeves. What exactly occurred?

Rachel Reeves is the new Chancellor of the Exchequer. She announced the end of the ban on onshore wind development yesterday.

So much for the beauty of nature and efforts to preserve all of it! It never ceases to amaze me the lengths these idiots go to destroy all good things (much of it irreplaceable) - whether or not it’s by design. How many generations will it take to undo the damages? I mean if I were an elite I would choose preserving all the natural beauty because I’m living *now* and once the useless eaters are gone I’d want to enjoy that beauty all by myself! But hey, that’s semi-rational thinking in an evil-driven secret society that poisons every living thing.
