Herschel Walker: the gift that keeps on giving

Herschel Walker Says He’s a Model Dad. He Has a Secret Son.

Boy it would be sweet if Herschel, Memhet, crazy Ron Johnson, etc. end up tanking the GOP’s chances at retaking the Senate.

Wind was 23% and solar was 2% in Texas in 2020 so he cherry picked a particular day when the wind speed was right. I stand by my statement.


Did I say that we were there yet? No.

Did I say he has a bias? Yes.

Did I insinuate he was at least a little off on Texas being against renewables? Yes.

Renewables providing 25% of our state’s energy so long as the renewables do not pollute more than fossil fuels is a good thing. I think wind may have an issue in that area.

I also said there are lots of projects around the state for additional renewables. That shows that the state is not against renewables.

We still need oil. We still need coal brought in.

To meet the demand with less use of those and with more use of electricity as a power source for vehicles, we need safe nuclear that works all the time as opposed to wind and solar that can be offline when needed most.

Yes - it tells us he is much more intelligent than you.


Your comment just hilights how little you actually understand about how the power grid actually works. By providing incentives to wind power and forcing the thermal plants to act when needed back-up wind you have little maintenance and no new thermal plants. As power demands increases you have less back up power when the wind fails you can't help but have grid problems.

What's with Bitcoin, fell another 600 today 26000 for the year. Looking at the chart looks like it literally fell off a cliff.

I notice they're still running plenty of aggressively positive Crypto ads.

You were right, he is dumb. What in the world made him think he could keep that under wraps?

Fed raising rates means the dollar gets stronger against other currencies. Simple as that.
