All of this makes more sense when you realize that it has nothing to do with saving money or reducing the deficit. It's all about causing fear and uncertainty, and reducing structural defenses against the grifting and looting connected to TFG's friends.

Well, I don’t agree with your opinion of Science News, but that’s OK. What I was pointing out is that she was indeed referring to Science News (and also Science Perspectives) as sources for her reading and understanding of a paper.

I guess you didn’t read the article very closely. The Science editor was talking about Science News (note the capitalization) which is a well respected information resource.

Could you show some facts please? Everything I’ve seen shows the cost of solar especially to be much lower than carbon based generation.

"(Only as those stars exploded did they forge heavier elements such as oxygen and spew them into the cosmos.)" I don't think this is correct - can't elements up to Iron be created through fusion in the stellar core?

Because they're fouling up everything for everybody else. Where I live (Oregon) if I were to get hit by a car and need an ICU bed, odds are I'd be put on a stretcher in a hall somewhere. All the ICU beds are filled with unvaccinated people denying that they have Covid.
