Bill Maher Confirms He Is an Idiot

Posted on by

Bill Maher is less of an idiot than the other idiots comprising the liberal establishment media, but he is still an idiot. He can be funny though. Viewers who unlike Maher know the difference between harmless carbon dioxide and toxic carbon monoxide will get a laugh out of this:

It would be nice to think the audience is bright enough to be laughing at Maher rather than with him. But I doubt it.

New California Battery Tax

Posted on by

As the song goes:

(If you drive a car, car) I’ll tax the street
(If you try to sit, sit) I’ll tax your seat
(If you get too cold, cold) I’ll tax the heat
(If you take a walk, walk) I’ll tax your feet
Taxman!

The Beatles forgot batteries. But the greedy moonbats who rule California didn’t.

Via CalMatters:

Starting January 1, Californians will pay a new fee every time they buy a product with a non-removable battery – whether it’s a power tool, a PlayStation, or even a singing greeting card. …

Consumers will pay the fee when buying any product with an embedded battery whether it’s rechargeable or not.

The pretext is that even rechargeable batteries end up in the garbage, causing offense to the environment.

Batteries play a major role in green energy moonbattery. They are the main reason EVs are worse for the environment than proper cars. The tendency of EV batteries to burst into flames is what makes them so dangerous to drive, to own, or to transport. You might think moonbats would like batteries. But they like tax revenue more.

Scottish Wind Farms Paid Not to Generate Energy

Posted on by

Not since Karl Marx has anyone committed such violence to economic sanity as the moonbats who push green energy on behalf of their weather gods.

Via Scottish Daily Express:

Scottish wind farms were paid £347m to switch off and not generate power this year – with the cost being added to electricity bills.

Wind farms do not generate power on a reliable basis, so charging for the energy they do not produce makes sense in a psychotic kind of way.

Across the UK, a huge £1.45bn was handed to wind farm developers and for turbines to remain idle.

Nice business, for those with a seat at Big Government’s table.

The SNP [Scottish National Party] Government wants to see thousands more turbines in order to hit its net zero goal but these will likely cost millions more and also blight the countryside.

But think of how much revenue can be raised by charging people for the energy they do not generate.

At times of high wind, the grid gets too congested and can’t transport power from remote areas in Scotland to where it is needed most.

That’s when bill-payers are charged for the turbines to shut down.

To keep the lights on in those areas grid operators must call on gas plants to step in to power up Britain, often at great expense. Nuclear power is also utilised but the SNP are campaigning against this, blocking plans to build new plants in Scotland despite the huge economic benefit.

Nuclear is no good because it is reliable and efficient, which makes it offensive to moonbats.

Scotland is located on the North Sea, beneath which lies an ocean of oil. But oil is also haram in the moonbat religion. So the North Sea is littered for miles off the coast with hideous wind turbines that chop up birds — for the sake of the environment.

Palisades Fire Allowed to Burn on Behalf of Endangered Plants

Posted on by

Zohran Mamdani’s choice of a lesbian DEI hire to head the NYFD suggests that New York will follow the Los Angeles model of firefighting. To grasp what this means, consider that the disastrous Palisades Fire was allowed to get out of control lest the bulldozers that could have stopped it damage endangered plants.

The Los Angeles Times reports:

An hour after midnight Jan. 1, as a small brush fire blazed across Topanga State Park, a California State Parks employee texted the Los Angeles Fire Department’s heavy equipment supervisor to find out if they were sending in bulldozers.

Using bulldozers to clear flammable brush could have prevented the fire from spreading.

“Heck no that area is full of endangered plants,” Capt. Richard Diede replied at 9:52 a.m, five hours after LAFD declared the fire contained.

“I would be a real idiot to ever put a dozer in that area,” he wrote. “I’m so trained.”

That is, trained by moonbats to prioritize allegedly oppressed plants over people and their property. Evidently fire doesn’t harm endangered plants.

The exchange between the state and LAFD employees is part of a batch of newly-released text messages and depositions from California State Parks staffers that offers new details of the state’s actions and interactions with firefighters in the critical days after the Lachman fire ignited and rekindled Jan. 7 into the deadly Palisades blaze.

We already knew that the ineptitude of the moonbats in charge played a major role:

In October, The Times reported that a battalion chief ordered firefighters to roll up their hoses and leave the burn area Jan. 2, even though crews warned that the ground was still smoldering. The LAFD also decided not to use thermal imaging technology to detect heat underground.

The problem goes beyond Karen Bass to Gavin Newsom. Some Los Angeles moonbattery is passed down from Sacramento:

Palisades residents have also sued the state, which owns Topanga State Park, alleging it failed in the week between the two fires to inspect the burn scar after firefighters left and make sure a “dangerous condition” did not exist on its property. …

Testimony and texts from state environmental scientists show that California State Parks’ initial concern when the fire broke out was whether the fire was on park land and whether firefighting efforts and equipment would harm federally endangered plants and artifacts. …

In 2020, the city of Los Angeles agreed to pay $1.9 million in fines as part of an agreement with the California Coastal Commission after L.A. Department of Water and Power crews bulldozed hundreds of federally endangered plants in Topanga State Park. The city had been working to replace aging wooden power poles to make the power lines more resistant to strong winds and fire.

LA bureaucrats weren’t about to make that mistake again.

Regarding the price of this foolishness, as noted at PJ Media:

Twelve people died in the fires during three weeks of January 2025, with 6,837 structures destroyed (and another thousand or so damaged), more than 23,000 acres burned, and total damages currently estimated at about $25 billion with a B in the Palisades, Topanga, and Malibu areas of Los Angeles County.

But at least the devastation will Democrats to replace nice neighborhoods with government-subsidized slums.

Kids Freeze on Electric School Buses in New York

Posted on by

Most of us have moved on from the global warming hoax — but not the moonbats running New York, unfortunately for kids.

Via Fox Business:

Parents in western New York are raising alarms over cold rides and breakdowns after officials mandated that all school bus purchases must be electric by 2027.

Kids come home frozen in the Lake Shore Central School District. Already nearly half of its buses are electric. Running the heat drains their batteries.

Several parents told the outlet that they heard of at least one instance of the buses breaking down, in addition to the heating issues.

Kids can sit in these rolling ice lockers for a half hour and more, even when they don’t break down. Hopefully global warming will kick in soon and alleviate their misery.

Norway Cashes In on European Enviromoonbattery

Posted on by

Finally, a silver lining has been found for the deranged enviromoonbattery that has crippled the economy of Europe. At least it provides economic opportunities for countries that reject ecoidiocy in favor of reliable and efficient fossil fuels — like Norway.

Via American Greatness:

Despite pressures to decarbonize, Norway has increased efforts to exploit oil and natural gas reserves. …

Targeted will be “frontier areas”—little-explored regions that can reward high risk with massive returns. While the U.K. suffocates its North Sea industry with windfall taxes and regulatory hostility, Norway is effectively saying, “If you won’t drill, we will.”

Black gold won’t just sit there in the ground indefinitely because fools regard it as haram.

As Norway invests in oil and gas, European countries that prefer to invest in green energy pipe dreams are becoming increasingly dependent on it for energy.

Norway does its part to appease moonbat weather gods by making heavy use of politically fashionable electric cars. However,

The gleaming EVs filling the streets of Oslo are subsidized by the government’s oil revenue.

Let’s hope the climate has a sense of humor.

Profiles in Ecohypocrisy: Mark Zuckerberg

Posted on by

Among zillionaire moonbats, competition is stiff to become the most conspicuous ecohypocrite of all. Leonardo DiCaprio may have been dethroned by Mark Zuckerberg.

Via Daily Mail:

The 41-year-old Meta boss, worth roughly $230 billion, has reportedly been burning hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel fuel since launching his personal, 387-foot vessel last year.

The yacht, dubbed Launchpad, runs on four diesel engines that use about 291 gallons of fuel every hour, which allegedly emits 40 tons of CO₂ over that same period of time.

Meanwhile,

Zuckerberg, an outspoken advocate for climate change policies such as the Paris Agreement … has spent more than $100 million funding climate advocacy and related initiatives through his philanthropic organization.

In 9 months, Launchpad managed to burn over 528,000 gallons of diesel.

That usage amounted to more than 5,300 tons of carbon emissions being released by the one ship alone, the same as nearly 400 US households over one year.

Launchpad doesn’t sail alone:

The mega yacht has been accompanied on its journeys by a 220-foot, $30 million support ship called Wingman, which can carry smaller boats, a miniature submarine for exploration and even a helicopter.

The climate won’t mind. Zuckerberg can afford to buy lots of offsets.

‘Stopping climate change is something we can only do as a global community, and we have to act together before it’s too late,’ Zuckerberg said in 2017 while condemning President Trump’s decision to pull out of the [economically suicidal] Paris Climate Accord.

Zuckerberg’s supportive rhetoric probably goes a long way to make up for all his diesel fumes in the mind of the climate.

Burnt Offerings

Posted on by

If we are to propitiate the angry climate, we must make certain sacrifices — like the occasional school bus driver.

Via KTLA:

An electric school bus burst into flames in Los Angeles on Wednesday morning, prompting a massive emergency response and shutting down a stretch of the 210 Freeway in Sylmar, authorities said.

The oversized moonbatmobile burst into flames as it went under an overpass at 9:20 a.m.

Sky5 was over the scene as heavy flames and thick black smoke poured from the fully involved bus.

The driver was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation. Fortunately, there were no kids on board this time.

Let’s hope the climate is pleased.
