The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
A green company’s years-long effort to use the power of eminent domain to seize farmland in the Plains States was derailed after Republican South Dakota Gov. Larry Rhoden signed legislation on March 13 barring the condemnation of private property for the construction of a CO2 pipeline. Iowa-based Summit Carbon Solutions’ $4.5 billion, 2,100-mile climate project envisaged pumping 12 million tons of carbon dioxide captured annually at Midwestern ethanol plants across five states – Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and North Dakota – via a highly-pressurized pipeline before burying it deep underground in North Dakota. Dubbed the “CO2 pipeline,” the project is part of a larger carbon capture and storage scheme, a taxpayer-subsidized investment fad touted to help heavy industries reach the Biden administration’s goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) supported the technology by offering participating companies a tax credit of up to $85 per ton of CO2 emissions captured and stored.
This is exactly what America needs. The 50 state laboratory that is the United States of America can act as each state sees fit. If North Dakota thinks green energy is crap, then good! And if California wants to kill its economy with a $125 billion train to nowhere, close all of its fossil fuel power plants, force everyone into electric cars, ban gas appliances, then have at it! Luckily, the last person to leave California won't have to turn off the lights, because they won't have any! But the top-down diktats of the federal leviathan are a thing of the past. And those hugely expensive tax credits and graft-filled green energy grants are going away as well. If green energy is actually possible for a 1st World economy, then it must pass economic muster, and that means it must compete on the same level as every other energy source. And if that means that EVs are a thing of the past, or a plaything for the wealthy, then so be it. We have no responsibility for the financial success of any product, much less ones that would not exist were it not for massive government subsidies (read: a big tax on us). It's time to return to market pressures as the primary measure of success. If Tesla fails...oh well! And if Tesla or any other green energy company succeeds on the merits? Fantastic! We will all have more choice! [Crossposted at CutJibNewsletter and X/Twitter] And the Apple and Spotify feeds for CJN's podcast should be working!

If the state wants to put a toxic and destructive solar farm or gigantic fire-hazard battery plant with toxic fumes, YOU WILL ACCEPT IT RURAL PEONS.

EVs are fun little cars.
If it is used in warm climates for trips around town (or very short trips), it can be good.
But it has to be a second or third vehicle. In states with winter, it should be put away while it is freezing, like a convertible.
Many people have "3 season" cars. Nothing wrong with that.
What IS wrong is trying to force people into a "3 season car" when they need a 4 season one.

10. Yes , the Democrat controlled legislature passed that bill last year and Whitmer signed it. The now Republican House is set to repeal it , but Whitmer and the Democrats are blocking it. It’s also in court. The legislature did manage to kill an idiotic project that would have cut down hundreds of acres of state forest to create a solar farm. In Mid Michigan.

We are on the Gulf of America, and we see lots of wind turbines blades and towers at the ports, waiting to go. I wonder if the current turbines are going to be torn down or are they just going to keep fixing them until they run out of parts? I hate those things. We’ve see them on fire and while it’s spectacular, it looks so very dangerous, especially in fire prone areas.

Hell if Canada wanted to do something great environmentally, ban all university students and have them study at home. That's a lot of 'carbon footprint' eliminated right away.

I saw The Substance last night. Are they jerking my gherkin with all the awards and accolades for this movie? It was mediocre at best. It’s basically a sex-swapped remake of “Seconds” but with a much more ridiculous plot device for how the “clones” are created. It's eye-rollingly stupid.
Way too long. There was a good movie inside this movie, but the pacing was so slow and too much time was spent on pointless crap. Seriously, at least 20 minutes of the movie was cheezy 80s-style Richard Simmons dance workouts and OF-ish leering shots of T&A.
Bad casting. Demi Moore isn’t old enough for a role like this. She still has looks and a body that many women half her age would kill for. The younger clone was a smokeshow, but so bland she might as well be CGI.
And the makeup and prosthetics looked cheap and cheezy, like something out of a bad 80s horror movie. And that ending? Wtf?

The only carbon they want to eliminate is YOU.
I remember before the global warming scam became evident, they were talking about taxing carbon, or the Tobin Tax iirc.
America is basically the Saudi Arabia of Coal. It’s awfully …. convenient … that Coal is defacto outlawed.
Oil, gas, timber, minerals. America is blessed with unparalleled resources, and our farmland and fresh water the envy of many. “Our” regulatory agencies have done little but hobble our industry and workers under mountains of regulatory BS making resource extraction difficult if not impossible.
It’s really a multi-faceted operation. Paying millions of able bodied not to work. Importing workers by the millions to work at substandard wages.
Printing up billions to pay for it all. Stupid wars, stupid ideas, stupid people in charge.
That’s How You Got Trump. He’s a symptom, not a Cause.

The U.S. used tariffs as the primary source of federal revenue before the income tax was introduced in 1913.
- Tariffs accounted for approximately 95% of federal revenue at times, with an average of about 20% on foreign imports.
- The Tariff Act of 1789 was enacted to generate revenue for the federal government, which included tariffs to pay off war debts and support manufacturers.
- The Constitution allowed for tariffs and other forms of taxation, which were crucial for funding the government.
- After the income tax was introduced, tariffs became a smaller fraction of the government's income, representing less than 5% of tax dollars collected.

Stupid California has made my shower soap unavailable. They are insisting on a reformulation. This is the only stuff I've found that my skin tolerates and I'm afraid they're going to ruin it. Even if it's not ruined, it will be more expensive. And, I'm nearly out and can't buy any more until they get the new formula going.
Why did we give California so much power over our lives? Why?

CNBC: Trump will ‘buckle under pressure’ if Europe bands together over tariffs, German economy minister says
U.S. President Donald Trump will “buckle under pressure” and alter his tariff policies if Europe bands together, acting German economy minister Robert Habeck said Thursday.
“That is what I see, that Donald Trump will buckle under pressure, that he corrects his announcements under pressure, but the logical consequence is that he then also needs to feel the pressure,” he said during a press conference, according to a CNBC translation.

Nobody gave Cali that power. Market forces did. It’s 10% of the population. So if they say you have to meet X standards to sell here, manufacturers have 3 choices. Ignore X and lose out on 10% of the market. Or create two lines, one with X one without. Or do X for every market.
Option 3 is almost always the cheapest.
Hence Cali is de defacto national standard for a lot of products.

The people of California overwhelmingly voted for a new tax in the last election. That tax took effect April 1st. The people of California are pissed that they're paying the highest sales tax in the country that they voted to have imposed on themselves.

Reminds me on a funny video I saw. A few years ago King County (basically Seattle) voted for a massive increase in car registration taxes. And then when those taxes took effect the local news media interviewed people at the DMV. And they were all like yes I voted for it but I had no idea I would have to pay so much more.

Of course, Our Hero Elon Musk is all about that solar. He said once that a mere 10,000 square miles of solar panels could power the entire US.
Sounds great in theory, but manufacturing, recycling, and maintaining that kind of solar farm is the elephant in the room, I suppose. He's smarter than me by a long shot, so hopefully he'll figure it all out.

U.S. President Donald Trump will “buckle under pressure” and alter his tariff policies if Europe bands together, acting German economy minister Robert Habeck said Thursday.
“That is what I see, that Donald Trump will buckle under pressure, that he corrects his announcements under pressure, but the logical consequence is that he then also needs to feel the pressure,” he said during a press conference, according to a CNBC translation.

93 Nobody gave Cali that power. Market forces did. It’s 10% of the population. So if they say you have to meet X standards to sell here, manufacturers have 3 choices. Ignore X and lose out on 10% of the market. Or create two lines, one with X one without. Or do X for every market.
Option 3 is almost always the cheapest.
Hence Cali is de defacto national standard for a lot of products.

Solution here is to stop making that inefficient dogshit known as ethanol.
Posted by: Sponge
=======
Agree. Auto gas today no longer needs any additive like it did in the 1990's to meet emission stds. Almost all those vehicles now are off the road.
Regarding alternative fuels, EVs are superior in that role from efficiency rather than ethanol production as burning crops for fuel never made sense other than supply worries from abroad.
If necessary, even coal gasification aka synthetic fuels could be instituted but burning coal in large power plants to power EVs and other things makes more sense. Nukes make even more sense as cheap energy countries can do quite well in mfg.

U.S. President Donald Trump will “buckle under pressure” and alter his tariff policies if Europe bands together, acting German economy minister Robert Habeck said Thursday.
Let's see, Google summarizes things with In 2024, the US goods trade deficit with the EU was $235.6 billion, a 12.9 percent increase from 2023. (That $235 billion is about 15% of the total amount of trade).
That means the EU has more to lose, and their economy is already weaker than the US, especially if they're going to increase domestic military spending AND keep propping up Ukraine. Sure, they can draw things out and make it painful for everyone, but they'll suffer a lot more.

Let's see, Google summarizes things with In 2024, the US goods trade deficit with the EU was $235.6 billion, a 12.9 percent increase from 2023. (That $235 billion is about 15% of the total amount of trade).
That means the EU has more to lose, and their economy is already weaker than the US, especially if they're going to increase domestic military spending AND keep propping up Ukraine. Sure, they can draw things out and make it painful for everyone, but they'll suffer a lot more.
Silly, ignorant American. You clearly have no understanding of economics. Now where is Brigitte? It's time for my spanking.

So strip power from the states and give more control of the economy to Federal bureaucrats? What could possibly go wrong?

"I think think the CO 2 levels are relatively close to the baseline where plants can't grow."
I think that is around 180ppm, but they grow better with more CO2, as satellite pics have confirmed the greening of more arid areas as we are now around 400ppm.
It is not mildly "dangerous" till ... would have to look it up, but at least 2000ppm.

119 Of course, Our Hero Elon Musk is all about that solar. He said once that a mere 10,000 square miles of solar panels could power the entire US.
Sounds great in theory, but manufacturing, recycling, and maintaining that kind of solar farm is the elephant in the room, I suppose. He's smarter than me by a long shot, so hopefully he'll figure it all out.
Posted by: Tinfoil Dispenser
=======
Solar cells are at about 23 percent efficiency or so during peak solar hours leaving out dust on the system, angle compensation, etc.. Add batteries into the equation and overall system efficiency drops quite a bit.
Cutting edge trial stage solar cells are about 30 percent or so the last time I checked but some use relatively expensive doping from rare earth etc. minerals to reach that.
So home solar works best in very sunny climates, off grid applications, and areas that due to features or stupid regulators, like California, that have very expensive electricity.
The downside, unless homes install batteries, that a mass of home solar can destabilize the grid due to shifting and unpredictable loads requiring instant spin up power plants (pretty much nat gas) rather than base load ones.

What you say is exactly true and jurisprudence treats it so. Why states can still regulate items that might have interstate effects (aside from alcohol which has its own constitutional amendment localizing commerce), is called the dormant commerce clause. If Congress or even a federal agency such as the EPA chooses, it can override a state's regulation that hinders interstate commerce. You can apply the regulation to homegrown producers in that circumstance but not to outside firms.
US was set up from the get go to be a large trading bloc via the commerce clause and that had little objection even from anti federalists. The Articles era was an economic disaster when each state tried to beggar its neighbors and ignoring the Articles provisions that tried to stop that.

IDLH is Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health
Posted by: illiniwek at April 03, 2025 11:45 AM (Cus5s)
400ppm is really close to 180ppm in my opinion.
And 400ppm is the highest levels we see.
Its insane that they are trying to reduce it more.

For you bourbon drinkers, I found a great, reasonably-priced bourbon: Balvenie DoubleWood 12. No, I haven't lost my mind. I know that's scotch. But it tastes like really good bourbon. If I tasted it blind I'd have sworn it was bourbon. It's about $65-75 a bottle. Not cheap, but it tastes like $200 bourbon: sweet, smooth, with lots of complex flavor. Very little smoke.

DoubleWood is aged in sherry casks or some gimmick. Definitely sweeter than "regular" Balvenie or scotch in general. I would never guess it was scotch at all.

By the way, the whole CARB board that issues stupid regulations for CA can be overriden by the EPA. It's regulations exist due to EPA waiver as CARB predates the EPA. If Congress and/or the EPA decide to do so, CARB must follow federal rather than state baked regulations.
Once again, commerce clause. Concurrent regulation of the same object (like travel) can exist (dormant commerce clause here) but if the Feds choose to do so, then federal rule is supreme unless the matter is NOT commerce.

"Solar cells are at about 23 percent efficiency or so during peak solar hours leaving out dust on the system, angle compensation, etc.. Add batteries into the equation and overall system efficiency drops quite a bit." whig
If one is rural, panels can be had for about 24 cents/watt. So efficiency doesn't matter much, just buy more cheap panels.
Good lithium batteries are still pretty expensive ... and it still can't compete with grid power, but most people get solar either to live where there is no power, or for government restrictions (via outrageous price or rolling blackouts) on how much energy each human unit is allotted.

DataRepublican (small r)

The "peacetime tax hike" is just one side of the tariff equation... half of a matched set of taxes aimed at pressuring *all* parties to bring tariffs down to zero.
You never cared when we were the ones levying tariffs. And I'll tell you why: our economy isn't built on principle, it’s built on the assumption that money must keep moving. You as VP didn't oppose tariffs; we just relied on the unspoken agreement that everyone would keep them stable. That’s the only kind of "free trade" YOU ever practiced.
And the cost of that system is that your average American sees no future. Gen-Z isn’t flocking to Trump because they discovered Reagan-era conservatism; they want upheaval. They're looking for someone, anyone, to break the status quo. Trump was just the tool closest to hand.
People are suffering. And you chose now to object; after years of silence, after sitting in power with every chance to push for real tariff reform. That's not courage; that’s self-interest. You're not speaking for Americans. You're protecting the same entrenched system that got us here in the first place.

Unknown costs based on systems--cheap cells often have electrical problems and fire can be a major concern for rooftop installs. We really do not know lifespan of systems either.
In northern tier states, one of the largest expenditures of energy comes from heating costs and in sunny states, cooling. A lot of that can be vastly reduced by proper insulation, windows, passive solar designs in the North, and so on.
That right now is the biggest bang per buck when I have put pencil to paper and what I have concentrated upon.

>> If Congress or even a federal agency such as the EPA chooses, it can override a state's regulation that hinders interstate commerce. You can apply the regulation to homegrown producers in that circumstance but not to outside firms.
Dormant commerce clause applies to unduly burdening trade from other states. If a state law equally applies to items made in the state and outside of it, it’s not a dormant commerce clause issue.
Also, the EPA is an unconstitutional abomination and therefore must be destroyed.

Unknown costs based on systems--cheap cells often have electrical problems and fire can be a major concern for rooftop installs. We really do not know lifespan of systems either.
A lot of the off-grid types use racks that sit on the ground and point the panels at the optimal angle. Makes maintenance easier and reduces the risk of fire when you're saving money with no-brand Chineseium panels from Amazon.

A lot of the Antifederalist complaints about the Constitution were answered by the Bill of Rights and at the time, states were far worse about violating rights than the Fed could be with a weak and distant national government. When comms and transport improved, then the feds started getting more and more involved in trying to manage states. So Chief Justice Marshall's decisions did not change facts on the ground much on federalism but it laid the basis later for someone like Woody Wilson to ravage liberty later on.

The plankton (and other life) got folded into the rock in deep structures. I'm not sure that it just requires "pressure" to make that process happen. could be.

Commercial solar cells are usually 15-20% efficient.
The average efficiency of commercially available solar panels typically ranges from 15% to 20%, though some high-efficiency panels can reach 22% or even higher
There are multi-junction cells that can achieve 45%, but they are much more costly to build, so intended for things like satellites.

Don't buy cheap panels because unless you have micro inverters, the whole array will be dragged down by the cheap ass panel that barely produces.
From a safety standpoint, micro inverter systems are a better bet whether you are going grid tie or battery.
Lots of folks have zoning issues regarding ground placement of solar and it can be very expensive in some places due to wind regulations. That is why a lot of people put them on rooftops whether or not their roof was designed for it.

Would not care to use such if you rely on something like air compressor tools as when the big compressors kick on and off, you get a pretty good surge and drop in line voltage.

Georgia House Democrats walk out of the chamber en masse in protest of a Republican-backed bill to block taxpayer funds from being used to pay for gender-affirming care for state prison inmates.

That says a lot for how lost *Georgia* has become. I wonder what percentage of the Democratic House of Georgia is "fundamentally non-serious"?

Again, the use of power you're warning against has been in place since at least the Great Depression, and moreover is arguably a correct understanding of the Commerce Clause.
California has for many years driven regulatory trends across the US. States are not in principle supposed to be doing that sort of thing, which is why the Commerce Clause exists. Either we use central mediation, or the states should basically fight it out.

Yep. Air pollution explicitly crosses state lines--thus interstate. States can regulate emissions under police powers anyway for health, safety, and welfare as well.
Go ahead and reargue Gibbons v. Ogden if you wish but everyone else will move on without you because even the court that produced EC Knight would not remove federal power to legislate regarding goods or people that crossed state lines.

... forbidding a state from passing laws on other states upholds state sovereignty by not letting one state's jurisprudence improperly impose itself on another state's jurisdiction.

Useful if you splurge on battery capacity and/or have a generator backup. Would not care to use such if you rely on something like air compressor tools as when the big compressors kick on and off, you get a pretty good surge and drop in line voltage. Doubt that would be good for a solar off grid system.
Posted by: whig at April 03, 2025 12:15 PM (ctrM5)
Depends on the size of the compressor, I guess. Most 2K inverter powerstations have surge capacity up to 4000+ watts for a few seconds. And there's the soft start option. So there are ways.

I like the idea of having really really quiet back up power supply I can recharge without a fuss using solar panels.
Living in the high desert like we do, it's a viable option. If we lived in a place which had much harsher weather it wouldn't be on the table as an alternative.
Also, the larger systems will allow me to put power in our shed without worrying as much about a battery exploding and burning the thing to the ground.

Spending and borrowing powers for Congress existed before then.

During the second world war, the Krauts called Americans, gangsters. My dad, who fought them in WW2, had a reply...."well, we 'gangsters' kicked your asses". They really don't understand Americans OR our attitude.

Pence says that he has a pension from his time as a member of Congress, and a Governor, and a Vice President and he doesn't understand why anyone is concerned about the economy.

Depends on the size of the compressor, I guess. Most 2K inverter powerstations have surge capacity up to 4000+ watts for a few seconds. And there's the soft start option. So there are ways.
Posted by: mrp
Sorry, I was unclear, it is more battery longevity because most of them are not really tested for surge capacity on the level that most air compressors used for commercial construction do as much as std. capacity. Soft start would be pretty much required I would think.
For individual use, I would think fine but dunno about commercial applications compared with a gas generator.

the term Fossil originally meant "something that is dug up" and only later came to mean those preserved remains. Agricola used the term to describe channels that were dug to drain mines, and the usage went to English.

All of that spew from FDA is simply blather as he knows little of how commerce clause jurisdiction evolved nor why it was regarded necessary for the US in the first place. Medicare has nothing to do with commerce clause but rather the spending, borrowing, and taxing clauses which Congress has and has had since the Framing. Spending and borrowing powers for Congress existed before then.

I never said Medicare had anything to do with the commerce clause. Medicare Part D was and example of how idiots expand the power of Fedgov only to have it backfire.
You seem to really struggle with reading comorehension, my dude.

Carbon dioxide isn’t pollution. And, yes, states can regulate pollution. That’s specifically what I’m arguing for.
Posted by: Disinterested FDA Director
==========
States already do. Dormant commerce clause but the Feds can trump that if they choose. Commerce clause. And until the EPA rescinds, as Lee Zeldin is trying to do, the finding that carbon dioxide is a pollutant, it is as far as the courts are concerned.

And you tend to spew in unrelated items that you object to when the subject is commerce clause. You conflate all federal actions with an discussion dealing with the commerce clause and your alleged overreach.

Yeah, for commercial use, a fossil fuel generator(s) is usually the best option. i remember walking through a NPS parking lot when the plant tested the emergency backup diesel generators. What a racket!

Then again the only reading I really have to do is when the "Flawless Victory" screen comes up in Mortal Kombat.
