Sure if you have the infrastructure and topography to do so. But this adds to the cost.
The problem is everyone always compares solar alone to nuclear in this comparison it looks really good. However when you include the cost of storage, it doesn’t look as good.
The analyses I’ve seen suggest that we will need to build at least some nuclear to achieve the fastest and cheapest decarbonization.
This is what made me suspicious. Usually when a politician supports someone there’s no need to make vague statements like this because you can easily find a quote from her explaining her positions in her own words. The lack of such quotes seems conspicuous.
Regarding the Latinas for Trump claim, I can’t find any other sources making this claim, so I suspect this is just misinformation. I did find several statements from the real Latinas for Trump founders criticizing Trump’s immigration policy, though none had people close to them harmed directly. It seems to be a US based organization founded by local US politicians, so it would be quite surprising if this Colombian woman was involved, especially when she’s not mentioned as a founder elsewhere.
Here’s an article on one of the actual founders: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5708999-garcia-criticizes-trump-midterms/
I believe he did have a visa and applied for asylum, although being the son of a politician unless there are some very unusual circumstances, his asylum claim seems dubious.
That said, he was following the rules as they exist and should not have been arrested.
In all the coverage of this I have not seen a single statement from her that is supportive of Trump or his immigration policy. I’m not saying she’s a good person but I’m starting to suspect people just want to force this story to fit the narrative they find gratifying instead of learning what actually happened.
And then, even if she did support this it doesn’t mean her son did, who is the real victim here. I wish people would have a little more compassion for victims of state violence. But it seems this is rare even on the left when there is a more convent narrative.
They’ve got a long way to go before they can claim such a title. If it’s even possible to be a “green superpower”. Seems like a contradiction to me.
It’s almost like there’s almost zero non-citizens voting or something…
Not that there’s even a need to prevent them from voting.
If you live in California or other areas where this will cause high flood risk, it could be worth doing some planning in case you need to evacuate. In my area at least, the models are showing some terrifying possibilities for how much rain we could get. Also talk to your neighbors and see if they need support or if they can cooperate with you in providing assistance tool others in the event that something like this happens.
In terms of the bigger picture I truly don’t know… everything we’ve tried so far has failed. I guess anything you can do to throw sand in the gears of the planet destroying machine makes things a little better in the future. But the next couple decades are probably already baked in to be a bit rough at this point.
