ACORE Applauds Bipartisan Energy Permitting Reform Legislation
Following is a statement from Ray Long, President and CEO of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE):
“America’s burdensome permitting process has for years held back clean energy and transmission projects that are vital to our nation’s electricity future. Virtually no interregional transmission lines have been built in the last decade despite their critical importance to grid reliability. We applaud Senators Joe Manchin (I-WV) and John Barrasso (R-WY) for releasing the Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024, which will help reduce the permitting timelines for clean energy projects and accelerate interstate transmission in the U.S. The legislation also notably directs FERC to establish an interregional transmission planning process which ACORE has long championed.
These provisions are a positive step forward with crucial bipartisan support, and we look forward to analyzing the impacts these reforms will have on clean energy investment and growth.”

Illegal Immigrants Are Voting Huge?
The Brennan Center at NYU’s seminal report on this issue, The Truth About Voter Fraud, found that most reported incidents of voter fraud are actually traceable to other sources, such as clerical errors or bad data matching practices. The report reviewed elections that had been meticulously studied for voter fraud and found incident rates between 0.0003 percent and 0.0025 percent.
Does that stop liars like Mike Lee from spreading disinformation of the subject? Of course not.
There is no judgement day. There is no Saint Peter standing in front of the Pearly Gates discerning good from evil and acting according.
That’s a lucky break for Mike Lee.

There Were Prior Threats to the Nation Stemming from the White House
For most of our lives, many of us boomers have believed that the biggest threat to the United States was our president, starting with Tricky Dick Nixon, the inventor of the “trickle-down economics,” liar Ronald Reagan, and GW (the moron) Bush.
But yes, none of us was prepared for the cold, calculating criminal who is Donald Trump.

Yes, Human Activity, in its Current State, Is Unsustainable
The fact that human activity is unsustainable has been revealed to us gradually over the last century. Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” was published 63 years ago.
That said, the ideas of climate change, ocean acidification, and loss of biodiversity have been essentially unchallenged by scientists for just the last couple of decades.
The only thing standing in the way of rapid environmental progress is greed, and in the end, that may prove to be an unbeatable foe. Decarbonizing our grid and transportation sector will eventually destroy the fossil fuel industry, a group so powerful that it has a stranglehold, both on our lawmakers and on our corporate-owned media, that works so hard to misinform our citizenry.
