the guy who says people who use the word Globalism are brainwashed is the same guy who is pushing the globalist agenda. the EU has gone too far. Italy is not a little nation depending on handouts.
Globalists are quite powerful today. They are able to force govts to do whatever they want. SA was being discouraged to add a 4800 MW coall plant because of climate agreements . They are going ahead , SA has 38000MW of coal power
To save mother earth , the globalists have the Cop feel good treaty to brandish to anyone who doesn't take their advice
They forced jabs on literally every village on earth, praising it Now upto 4 shots required.
The revenues from billions of vaccinated is insane.
Globalists want power, why would Joe Biden allow 8000 illegals a day from the roughly 400-800 Trump had effected.
Any party opposing mass immigration in Europe is far right which is a negative implication as understood .

I hate the smearing. It is all coordinated. For instance Far Right has been made to appear a terrorist organization, What about far left. The left has stolen the narrative that they are the people who are correct
The left takes a finge issue and wants to normalise it. They invent phobias by the day. The left lies like there is no tomorrow.
Glad parts of Europe are wakingup and voting out these elitist globalists who know whats best for us.

Who would want to do business with Criminal trump ever again?

Can you believe he raised $40 in August Tru his PAC, $40! GOP are pulling ads from campaigns because they don't have enough money and Criminal trump is not helping.
His rallies are shrinking more than ever, and with his legal woes, with Letitia dealing the nerve cutting blow (with DOJ investigating $250m fraud Tru the trump campaign inaugural funds), Criminal trump may well end up washing dishes in Rikers island.





Bas! You no contribute? Your maga boss needs your money and not your lies on NL!
Lies. Financial Times identifies a total of seven PACs connected to Trump, which reported a collective total of about $122 million in available cash at the close of August

That is just one super PAC that raised $40 . GOPe has not been of much help to him, endorsing the stolen elections and now they want to a piece of his bucks. Mitch is sponsoring RINOs remember.At the same time I think Mitch is happy if they dont win the senate because he still the kingmaker matters legislation.

Dont know much about GOP and Trump relationship . GOP has big donors they will come through for it.. The Koch brothers for example.
This time remember Elon Musk is voting for Republican having seen the futility of these leechers democrats.

Critical Reasoning

otherwise known as 'dunce school'


The list of core critical thinking skills includes observation, interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation, explanation, and metacognition. According to Reynolds (2011), an individual or group engaged in a strong way of critical thinking gives due consideration to establish for instance:

Evidence through reality

Context skills to isolate the problem from context

Relevant criteria for making the judgment well

Applicable methods or techniques for forming the judgment

Applicable theoretical constructs for understanding the problem and the question at hand

In addition to possessing strong critical-thinking skills, one must be disposed to engage problems and decisions using those skills. Critical thinking employs not only logic but broad intellectual criteria such as clarity, credibility, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, breadth, significance, and fairness. Wiki

And that was after his numerous failed challenges in court where he showed no evidence and was repeatedly told he lost, after which he directed his mob to Capitol Hill to call for the head of Mike Pence.
Have you listened to that video.?The Republicans point clearly that no court ( maybe out of intimidation) ever took the next step of going into discovery.
They had affidavits of people who saw wrong doing. The FBI refused to investigate just like they have refused to
- Release footage of Capitol CCTV footage .. 14000 hours
- Talk about Ray epps and his cohorts
- Arrest some guys who had megaphones urging the crowds to go in
- Bill Barr ordering the Pennysylvania AG not to investigate the election complaints

They never wanted Trump. The judges looked for the simplest excuse to throw out a case. 25 AGs were told they have no standing as if they are not lawyers.

Has the guy with the scaffold been arrested. Help me here. You are also lying. Where did Trump call for the head of Mike Pence ?

You are so far gone. The simple truth of the matter ..get this in your thick skull. Trump called for a rally to protest the election theft . Ray Epps and his cohorts hijacked the protest and stormed the capitol. There were antifa and Feds who infiltrated the crowds

Trump told them to protest peacefully.
Going by your idiotic reasoning that he called for the rally, we might as well blame Trump's grandparents for ever immigrating to America.

In that video I posted Democrats are claiming that Ray Epps story is a conspiracy theory. Can you see how low America has sunk. The video was played and a Democrat rises up to say that its been debunked. Feds say that they will not comment on investigations when asked.
Democrats are just poor evil saying that Epps is a sacrificial lamb. There are people who have been jailed for stepping in the position that he was standing on for tresspass.
Budaatum believes these democrats because she hates Trump.

What you posted only makes sense to people with a maga bias, bas. It's why you believe the innuendo and speculation and lies without wondering why the FBI would bother in the first place to put their own agent on a most wanted list. It's the same as you presenting 2000 Mules as evidence of election fraud, the Mules that the maga producer himself has had to pull because it was full of innuendo and lies and half facts that you magas tend to call "facts". That's why guys like Ray and dump could make you go and commit crimes. You are easily led that way to believe what are known as 'alternative facts' at best, which you spin from limited evidence and your hearsay and believe.

Bas, the Jan 6 Commission would have been a great place to deal with the FBI and Epps. Maga Reps on the commission could have insisted he be interviewed so the truth would out, but that requires brains and magas ain't got none!

If Epp was the on-ground sergeant in crime, he was getting his commands from his commander in crime dump who called people to the rally and ordered them to go take the Capitol, unless you want to claim Epporganised the rally too, so I hope he Epp is got so his commander in crime dump could be got too.
Those are videos. On Wednesday The houise judiciaryu committee also adked the same question . Are you able to debunk videos/ They are not interviewing him .. Logiccally he was an asset
The Republicans are on him. The true formentor of Jan 5 will be revelaed one day and you will look like a mo-rron. Ray Epps also knew there would be a bombs. Raised in the Committee. I hope you are not suicidall when reality hits you in the face.

After months of mouthing off what the media and Jan 6 committee say It would be foolhardy of them to change their position. Their TDS cannot let them be seen as ignorant they will continue to lie. And for them as long as it hurts MAGA , any lie is acceptable,

They cannot even question their conscience why youtube and social media severely limit the exposure of Ray Epps on their platforms.

it has been proven in court that they Planned and funded a plot to kidnap Michigan Governor and trump and republicans were the blame.
Now you will see Democrat Reps in a hearing Saying they should leave Ray Epps alone and that he is a poor guy who did nothing wrong after saying he was a Maga who came to the riot Donald trump organized.

So a question for you Buda.

Why is the one guy who was clearly on camera asking people to storm the Capitol Building Not being arrested?
Why are the Democrat Reps and People like you supporting a MAGA QAnon?
Why are people who were just there arrested and this Guy is not?
Why is the FBI not denying if he is an Informant or part of the FEDS?


all these are Legitimate Questions. We want everyone who is accountable to be locked up now... so why are you guys taking panadol for this guy?

wirinet why are you not interested in who this maga Q guy is?
Budaatum why are you not interested and
1stGenAmerican nothing hear is a conspiracy theory. it is a fact on videos from hearings. why are the MSM, DEM lawmakers, and you not interested in Charging this guy? after all he is a MAGA Q
Budaatum sometimes knows the truth but wants to act the fool OR he is a fool whose Trump hatred causes him to disbelieve anything positve about him.
Those who dont know enough dont go shouting all over. Trump supporters here stand their ground on matters they know and we quickly discern fake news. We dont worship Trump after all why should we He is not in Nigeria . Fake news has been ingested by many here such that they believe a rumor , when its debunked they still circle back days later to the same position. For instance Buda has seen articles and quotes posted here about Ray Epps but will not comment because if he accepts it , that will be a smug liberal eating humble pie. I Liberals seem to have been tauight that they are the smartest kids on the block and everyone else is dumb, they will quote world famous Magazines like Newsweek, Times, CNN, NYT, WAPO etc without realizing that these once respectable putlets are now full DNC propaganda arm

Fossil fuel is limited in supply. I do not think Tesla is in the business of EV because of subsidies it expects from government. Subsidies or tax breaks are a plus, but that won't be the sole reason they spend billions on research. Infact, the billions of dollars these mega oil companies and EV cooperation spend on research dwarfs any meagre subsidy expected from Gov. General Motors is investing nearly US$7 billion in the state to convert one factory to build electric vehicles and construct another to make batteries. That's huge. Note revenue after tax (minus subsidy or tax break) for GM was about $5B in 2019.
Fossil fuel is obviously limited in supply. There is however large amounts of untapped reserves across the world .. Shale oil is one which has led to America being the largest producers of shale oil n gas. Unfortunately activists worry about contaminating the ground water and have sought to ban it in toto. ME countries OPEC rather have generous welfare benefits for their citizens such that they want oil priced higher. A shale oil producer was interviewed saying he could theoritically get to $30 per barrel . Russia and OPEC may have been funding these activists. UK also has plenty of shale but the Environment activists wont let them exploit it till Putin shuts down gas in total.
Tesla is a business. With $18B first quarter sales this year, more people on the waiting list makes Elon Musk the richest in the world.
Other vehicle companies will not be left behind because the demand is there. At one point the law of diminishing returns (Units vs Energy ) will catch up, fixing a date when cars sold will be only EV is good business for everyone , although I think the mega corps .. GM, Toyota etc will have the last laugh with the internal combustion engines.

Uganda needs to visit Texas to study how they are now the US leading renewable energy producer for 2 years in a row. I don't know why they do not have storage, energy is being wasted when it can't be stored and can't be fed back to the grid. Infact, the major selling point of solar energy companies in the US is that you can sell back to the power companies.

3. As I earlier said, technology or advancement in tech is not stagnant. Who would have thought mobile phones could reduce so much in size from the ugly giant beast they were in 1995ish to the ultra slim device they are right now with much more smaller batteries with larger storage capacities. So companies not running 100% on solar or wind does not mean they won't be able to do so 50 years from now. Lithium or cobalt batteries might even be phased out in the next decade. NiCad for example did not even last up to 10 years before getting dumped just like the giant laser disc of a few years ago.
That Org does not need storage power . Its aim is to go green and reduce electricity bills, A 30KW storage system is pretty expensive . Theoritcally they could sell power back to the grid I am not sure if Uganda has that arrangement or maybe Uganda has surplus capacity and dont need buy backs from Independent Power Producers.

3.
China or India might not care right now but they will catch up later. It's not a race to the bottom but a race to the top. India has one of the dirtiest and poorest air quality in the world. Sooner or later, the cost of healthcare from lung or respiratory system will catch up with them as well.

As per the cow fat, those are crazy environmentalist. I love my steaK dinners and I do not think cow farts would be that large enough to cause any significant damage to the ozone layer. After cowfart, are they going to target plant giving out c02 next?
China and India are concerned about lifting as many as possible from poverty. China is more concerned with dominating the world as a Superpower. China is the largest Solar and Wind Power producer in the world. Ditto coal ... I also think hydro is quite big there.

At the rate global decisions are made, countries sign on to them and then implement them Bugs will be touted as the next big thing. We have been forced to get covid jabs, do away with some refigerators, Set max shower tap diameter, boycott Russia , sell bananas to EU which are only of some shape and size ... This to me has the makings of some elites who think they know better than us and are determined to interfere in our daily lives.
There is a lot about cow farts,,, If you care to read Alexandria O Cortez Green New Deal , cow farts contribute to Global warming.

Like I said earlier, we may argue all we want on Nairaland or elsewhere, EV tech is here to stay. Check out Toyota maria below. It mostly uses hydrogen fuel cell. More storage and less weight than the 100% Lithium ion we find in the likes of Teslas. Research and advancement in tech can produce wonderful results smiley

Finally, to be honest, I am not a climate change warrior or champion. I just go with the flow of technology. I am fascinated by them. You are lucky to work in an industry where you get to see the beauty of semi conductors live in action.
EV is here to stay I do not dispute that. For hydrogen fuel cars there is a growing research towards them , I have not had so much time to look at them
The speed at which the West is running at getting rid of fossil fuels under climate crisis seems suspect to me. As a feel good Germany stopped nuclear power plants and right now they have two on standby whereas their power costs have gone up. The projections are based on computer models which surprisingly were not correct to predict the last 20 years global temperatures. Data fed into a computer can churn out different results, these are pure predictions on upcoming events. There is a level of absurdity I find because everything is blamed on GW. Fires in California are more because of GW yet some people were arrested starting fires in some places and the undergrowth was not all cleared.

A) Of course, I know how heavy electric cars are. A few 100kg heavier than it's non electric model. Case study Ford Mustang vs Ford Mustang Mach+ E, but technology is not stagnant.

B) Are you saying this plane in my screenshot below won't fly or AirCanada is just wasting it's time?

If we shout and argue from now till tomorrow, EVs and battery techs are here to stay. Automobile Companies going full EV and oil companies spending billions of dollars on clean energy won't stop investing their time and money on it. GM made an announcement today that they would completely stop making Petrol and diesel cars by 2035. This is the biggest American automobile company and top 3 in the world I think. TotalEnergies is spending around 57% of its research and development budget of $1 billion for 2022 on clean-energy technologies.

Battery Tech would also get better. Do you know how poor and heavy batteries were before lithium ion was discovered? I still have some NiCad batteries which is still considered a recent tech, and now they already look achaic to me and doesn't hold much charge compared to lithium ion which is now mainstream. Lithium ion would also be replaced by another tech. Scientists are already looking into hydrogen fuel cells (has more storage capacity and lighter) and other future energy storage technologies. Toyota introduced an hydrogen fuel cell vehicle this year.

I am sure people would have also argued in the past that electric cars can never work, or the Wright brothers were wasting their time trying to get some wood and cotton fabric glued together into the sky.
These oil and EV megacorps are using a lot of money for research. They know very well fossil fuel demands will forever increase so slashing a part of the revenue to fund a department which might return a profit or not is another way they avoid paying too much taxes. And they also get subsidies from the Federal Govt to boot. Out of the research money allocated some of it goes to paying salaries for the researchers who are most likely involved in the normal vehicle production eg An assembly line fully automated can be developed for the EVs under the research tax deductible grants and deployed across the other fuel guzzling vehicle production lines.

I hope you also realize that whenever one has solar/wind power there is always a standby ongrid power source be it hydro, coal or nuclear. I'll relate my experience of a 32 KW private solar farm in Uganda. Uganda is along the equator which means the sun is on average at least 8 hours a day when its not raining. The setup there is that the org gets normal hydro power . The solar farm is on grid meaning it works in conjuction with the mains. Has a smart Inverter that determines how much power is needed, it reduces the amount from the mains its generating at the moment and supplies from the solar. It does not feed back to the grid when there is excess power from the solar. There were no batteries for the solar. If no solar at all rest is mains. If solar is generating it deducts that from the mains. (It does this by negative feedback )
At times the mains input is literally zero when there is no activity and the solar supplies everything.
Rare thing. On a cloudy day the output from the solar farm falls to as low as 3Kw. Note the solar farm has about 160 panels In a country straddling the equator Yet solar is not sufficient. On full load the Power input is around 100KW , shedding an average of 20-25 Kw saves the org quite some money per month. I sure do hope the org qualifies for Carbon credits for its generous contribution to going green Never mind that its mains is purely hydro.
In other words you cannot depend on solar to manufacture. Let alone supply a few hundred homes
At the same time the extraction of Lithium and Cobalt is a pretty disruptive business, activists have shut down production in Western economies over environmental concerns. Yes, those who think power comes from the wall socket. China does not care about environment they mine these battery components without any opposition from their green energy activists.. most are in exile. China also mines a lot of cobalt from Zaire.

The whole war on fossil fuels is futile . We have heard that we only have so many years to reverse Global Warming hence the need to switch to green energy, In the process of switching, fertilizers need to be reduced ( cause a famine?) , livestock culled because of cow farts, switch to bugs ( I post a video of a bug eating high school dropout celeb) for our protein needs. Add in gender to the mix , how it mixes with GW is a mystery. Gender inequities are discussed as a cause of the climate crisis, with their eradication, with women as leaders, as key to a sustainable future
The whole GW crusade goes beyond oil into micromanaging people's lives.
