Oil went negative price during his admin, producers shut down, drillers shut down, and oil companies were going bankrupt.  By the end of the Trump admin we weren’t producing our own demand 

And we were enjoying $1.87 gas :thumbsup:

We need more natural gas power plants!Solar definitely helping with the load and should be used in new housing and commercial properties.

Wind turbines im not so sure about?

Dang near a 1/2 inch per year the last 12 years in parts of the US.  
Maybe satellites aren’t accurate and preciscion instruments and science aren’t to be believed?  Argue as you may….

https://news.yahoo.com/study-finds-shockingly-fast-sea-210500257.html

In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from Tulane University found rates of sea level rise of about 10 mm (0.4 inches ) per year around Gulf states and the Southeast since 2010.

They compared a combination of field and satellite measurements from 1900 to 2021 and noticed record rates of sea level rise in the last 12 years. Researchers referred to the accelerated rate as “unprecedented in at least 120 years.” A little under half an inch of sea level rise may seem small, but average sea level has risen by about 0.14 inches a year since the early 1990s, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. They also noticed that the acceleration spans from the Gulf of Mexico up to Cape Hatteras in North Carolina. Higher-than-average rates of sea level rise were also recorded in the Caribbean.

The team examined different factors that could have affected ice-mass loss and air pressure in the region. They couldn’t connect those to the sea level rise in the Gulf and Southeast. Because of this, they came to the conclusion that this is a result of human-caused climate change combined with natural variability in the ocean.

 

Please explain how that is possible?

Ginger Zee said she went through the complete study, and even though it shows that sea levels VARY on some 10 year bullshit cycle.... Wait, there's now a cycle to sea levels??

 

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK....

So a island built on a marsh floods when there are heavy storm from time to time odd . Now if we can just figure out why New Orleans floods we will be on to somthing

It’s in the link…

 

“The last 12 years, the accelerated rates of sea level rise have correlated with the expansion of the Subtropical Gyre that includes the North Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean, according to the study. Gyres are systems of rotating ocean currents. Ocean warming and changing wind patterns have altered currents in the gyre, according to the study. Warming water expands, which contributes to some of the rapid sea level rise.”

So the rise very well likely could have nothing to do with global warming and just the natural change in the currents.   :thumbsup:

From the link. 

What is a gyre?

A gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents.

Also sea levels aren’t the same across the globe…..  NOAA kind of explains it.  Scientist have always known sea level rise will vary and be different across the globe.

 

 

Most people are surprised to learn that, just as the surface of the Earth is not flat, the surface of the ocean is not flat, and that the surface of the sea changes at different rates around the globe. For instance, the absolute water level height is higher along the West Coast of the United States than the East Coast.

Hmmm, let me take a guess - the city was built below sea level??

Lots of wealthy people who claim to believe in MM ocean level rise spend a huge amount of resources building and buying property that is supposedly going to be underwater in the not so distant future.   When these people stop spending money along the coast I'll buy into ocean levels rising.  Not to mention flying around in private jets, owning multiple homes and having a carbon footprint 100x's that of the average citizen.

This says it all, if you can't prove what did it "conclude" it was human caused climate change.

:lol:

Nothing like being energy independent!

I know hydro quebec and nb power export to Maine...and they want even more to get further south if the transmission line did t get blocked. 

Are you energy independent?

Not 100% but more than most.  Definitely not dependent on countries outside NA for energy.
