… to get past all the lunacy.

Electric vehicles catching fire in Florida after Hurricane Ian

Ideology reigns supreme. Never mind all those annoying details.

California asked its citizens to please not charge their electric cars (sorry, we don’t have the capacity) in the same week they proposed eliminating all gasoline-powered cars. We still don’t know how we’re going to dispose of all these batteries safely, where we’re going to get the raw materials to build them, or how we’ll generate the electricity to charge them.

But we’re saving the planet, so shut up.

We’re told that “gender” has nothing to do with biology, or with your sex organs. A woman can have a penis and a man can have a vagina, and don’t you dare deny it.

There had to be some cheating. There’s always cheating. You can’t possibly have such a huge event, involving so many people, and with such big things at stake, without there being some cheating. (In this case, it was a Democrat. In Michigan, some Republicans submitted fraudulent petitions to get on the ballot.)

The question has always been whether there was significant cheating (enough to change the results), but The Narrative is always more important than truth and clear speaking.

This is an interesting video.

Most of the water is not being used by residents or by non-agricultural companies. It’s being used for agriculture, and specifically for agriculture aimed at feeding cows. That’s interesting. First, it means we need to stop blaming swimming pools and water fountains in Vegas. But second, this means there’s a lot of room for innovation.

Some nags are going to say we can solve this by cutting down on our meat consumption, but there’s another and better option. Innovation!

My understanding is that Israel has done great work in extending the reach of their water resources — using drip irrigation and other things. Rather than scolding everybody, or trying to get people to change their lifestyle, why not make a big effort to make our agriculture more efficient in its water use?
