Most Of The People Effected By Helene Are Just Without Power

[candycorn]

Many of the people who are suffering in NC, SC, GA, and FL are still without power. There are people up in the mountains that haven't had electricity since Helene moved thru the area. They're running out of food and water and nobody is helping them.

It doesn't make any sense to switch everything to electric if the government can shut off the grid or if a storm can cause millions to lose power. The only power these people have is with gas powered generators.

The crazy people raving Twitter and tiktok sound a lot more sensible than the Trump cult imbeciles here.

The righties here want to be hysterical, because they get a perverse thrill from it. Thus, you won't be able to get them to calm down.

They can blabber all day, everyone knows the response is a disaster

Ever see a government agency response that wasn't? The same people who are promising to help hurricane victims are the same people who pulled out of Afghanistan leaving 80 billion in weaponry behind, 13 dead military, and thousands of Americans by pulling the military out of the country before the people.

These are the same people who saved you from Covid by making you wear dust masks and stand a few feet apart then told school kids not even susceptible to the virus to stay home from school for two years while taking a dangerous vaccine which doesn't even prevent infection or transmission.

These are the same people who could not find a guy hiding in Trump's hedges for 12 hours despite his having a chronic history of terroristic behavior, then only found him because a neighbor spotted him.

These are the same people who had a president outside at a campaign rally in the open and left the most likely roof from which a sniper to shoot uncovered.

These are the same people who despite warnings a huge terror attack was imminent, saw nothing suspicious about a dozen Saudi nationals taking airplane lessons on how to fly jets but not how to land them, then had no military jets in the area they could even scramble the day of 9/11 to protect Washington.

These are the same people who watched the Chinese float spy balloons over our military bases then didn't get around to shooting them down until after they had already floated out over the Atlantic ocean.

It's why I have little faith in anything government

It's just a bloated disaster

Not everyone can afford that.
Not everyone in my neighborhood has a generator.
Come to think of it, I need to buy another portable generator in case they cut off my gas.

If Kamala has her way we won't have gas to run our generators anymore.

"If Kamala has her way we won't have gas to run our generators anymore."??? Are you on Drugs, this morning? Who did you think was presiding over the Senate for the passing of the Willow Project, in Alaska? It was Harris.

Funny, I don't see Harris named anywhere. In fact, it turns out that Biden/Harris tried to CRUSH the project, but legally didn't have any ground to do so, so they limited its development instead.

ConocoPhillips was initially approved to construct five drill pads, which the Biden administration ultimately reduced to three. The Biden administration felt its hands were tied with the project because Conoco has existing and valid leases in the area, two government sources told CNN. They determined that legally, courts wouldn’t have allowed them to fully reject or drastically reduce the project, the sources said.

I see nothing about this that involved the Senate.

Biden cancelled all of the leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge but only left the Willow Creek project in force. Lease approvals have nothing to do with the VP unless there's a tie vote, yet I see no vote ever took place according to WIKIPEDIA.

On March 13, 2023, the Biden administration approved the project.[21] Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland's name did not appear on the approval; deputy secretary Tommy Beaudreau, who acted as the point person on the project for the department, signed the final document. In response, environmental groups announced their plans to sue.[22]
In September 2023, Biden cancelled oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, but not for the Willow project.[27]

On November 9, 2023, U.S. District Court Judge Sharon Gleason upheld the Biden administration's approval of the Willow project and rejected claims by an Iñupiat group and environmentalists against it.[28] Earthjustice, one of the organizations bringing the lawsuit, has announced its intention to appeal the decision.[29]

They're cutting back on production while claiming they're increasing production.

National disasters are like that

People in remote areas should have back up generators and solar power

Most do. And search and rescue crews are scrambling to reach them

Kind of like the way you assholes get whenever some cop shoots a black guy or when one of your nutcases walks into a school and murders a bunch of Christian children?

 

[IM2]

Oh gfy, Trump has nothing to do with this. Good grief, grow the fck up

How about you MAGAS group and understand that there has been no disaster of this scale where electricity was turned back on the next day. It has been just over a week and you disingenuous pieces of garbage are repeating the lies trump is spewing when in fact things would be wore if he was in charge.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Dummy, what good is solar power if your weather is all cloudy by day? You think there is a lot of clear skies around a hurricane?

Well yeah, once the hurricane blows over there is normally very clear skies for a while as the hurricane pulled out all the moisture

Cops shooting unarmed non criminal people should bother you. Most mass shootings are done by right wingers.

Black folks can't even figure out how to get proper ID, and you expect them to buy a generator?

Because those can't be washed away.

Unfortuntely for your racist ass, rural whites and elderly whites have the same problem getting ID's. But voter suppression isn't just about an ID and you know it..
