The Environmentalist Extremists that run the state of Oregon have passed a law outlawing the use of coal to generate electricity. They also oppose nuclear power. And they oppose hydroelectric power because dams are icky. Environmental Extremists have also successfully sued to prevent the development of wind power.
What does that leave? Oh, right solar power.
In Oregon.
Have you ever lived in Oregon? I have. Solar power is not exactly viable in a place where it rains, like, 270 days a year.
And they say conservatives are opposed to technological progress.
If only smug hippie liberalism could generate electricity, Oregon would look like Times Square.
Oddly I thought by this headline this article was from the North Korea possibility of nuking Japan and consolidating with the South by William S Lind (((See Ilioin))) there are some good pro civilization jews.

Even with Solor and Wind power combined there would still be 1/3 downtime averaged in the US. When China is willing to choke all of its citizens in coal dust, lesbians eating vegan doesn’t do much for the planet. The EPA does more to throttle US business than protect the environment.
I wonder if there might be a market for roof-mounted water wheels to generate electricity.
Oregon is its own special place. They feel that somehow, someway, there will be cheap/affordable power to use. Beautiful state, not known for its geniuses & one of the biggest gripes that the few resident “conservatives” have is that logging is opposed by environmentalists to save small owls. Essentially, there’s no rational opposition to liberal policies born out of a weed pipe & a nice plate of shrooms. There are no clear counterparts for their politicians & people in general, anywhere else in the US. They’re difficult to understand.
They have the “grid”, so they can always buy as much electricity as they want without producing any themselves. It’s called “commerce”. And it works just find as long as they don’t starts preventing their utility companies from purchasing out of state “dirty” electrons. … Like California…
If only it were possible to prevent them from coming here (Virginia) after they crater their own states.
So, basically, now the electron distributors will have to show each state how their electrons are clean but all the rest are dirty.
Or they can freeze. I expect some creative accounting and LOTS of indulgences.
Funny thing, but a lot of businesses recently started fleeing CA for OR. OR has a long history of being anti-business and has high property taxes as well as a state income tax. They do not have a sales tax, though. This decision is incandescently stupid, I hope it doesn’t spread to WA. We already have enough moronic leftist lunacy in place, we certainly don’t need any more.
Actually, eastern Oregon has lots of sun. Unfortunately, we in Idaho are going to annex it soon, since the people there are not as brain-dead as the left-coasties.
Don’t tell anyone – it’s a secret.
Oregon & Washington are both more conservative to the east/ right of I-5
“If only smug hippie liberalism could generate electricity …”
I’ll bet it could, given the proper furnace to toss them into. 😉
Steve, the anti-semite: “… (((See Ilioin))) there are some good pro civilization jews.”
Silly, silly man. I’m not a Jew: don’t confuse me with my great-great-grandmother.
The thing about the anti-civilization “jews” to whom you pretend to be opposed is that they are leftists, and they are generally atheists who hate Judaism and despise Jews even more than you do.
So, because some leftists have Jewish grandparents, you people who fools yourselves that you are opposed to leftism (*) keep shrieking about (((Jews))) … and providing a distraction for the leftists.
(*) when, in fact, you tend to be puppets of the leftists
What it means is, like California, they will import their electricity. And all the states around them will get disgusted at their hypocrisy.
And this goes on all over the country. The liberal-controlled cities leach off the conservative rest of the country, then blame them for all the problems their own lifestyle brings about.
Just thought this might be useful Sunny Days in Oregon
If a state prohibits generating electricity via tech_X, in fairness everyone should refuse to sell them electricity generated via tech_X. That way their virtue will remain intact, even if they’re reduced to smoke signals.
