Re: Elon Musk Is In Bed With Crooks

Re: Regrowing telomeres

Indeed, shortening telomeres are but one of several elements of cellular aging. Unless other factors are also accounted for increased cancer seems a risk. Endocannabinoids naturally scavenge cancerous cells. It is too bad that research on that in America is stymied by our laws. Maybe Congress will ...

No, because it's already true there are locations where the cheapest way to have power is solar/battery/inverter systems. Are you seriously arguing to the contrary?

Re: Crime and Punishment: Oklahoma (& Texas) style!

Nominating Thomas is about the only good thing the HW Administration ever did. Gorsuch is looking decent so far. Getting rid of Kennedy will help, but things will really be improved when we get rid of the other kooks on the court. Thomas' dissent in Raich was a masterpiece. Wickard is an abomination.

The real problem with solar is day/night. i.e. batteries or other backup. When the intermittentancy and day/night are included in the cost of solar energy it becomes cost prohibitive for general energy production. No, it depends on location. Batteries get cheaper every year, and so does solar. Yes....
