    Time to give up it's embarrassing

    In 2016, Nebraska had 1,335 MW of installed wind power generation capacity, producing 10.1% of the electricity generated in-state.[4] This increased to a capacity of 2,142 MW and a 19.92% of generation in 2019.
    so what your saying is under Trump they ramped up service and output..

    glad to see you admit it.

      Apparently like most smart states they just disregarded The Trump Administration anti wind policy.

      Thanks for pointing that out.

          [QUOTE=Phil B.;1728304 the birds getting killed by flying into the blades.[/QUOTE]

          Phil, I do need to disagree with you on that issue. I have driven past wind farms for years. Unlike the cartoon presentations that some PETA, and I don't mean People Eating Tasty Animals, activists put out s few years age, the blades are not a blurred circle when turning. They turn at about 20rpm, that's right per minute. YOU CAN SEE THE INDIVIDUAL BLADES FROM OVER A MILE AWAY!!! Any bird that cannot see the blades in time to avoid them is going to die anyway because it is too blind to find food.

                YOU don't have early voting?

                Mississippians could have the final say on whether they should have the same early voting opportunities as voters do in 44 other states and the District of Columbia.

                An initiative was filed Thursday with Secretary of State Michael Watson’s office to place on the election ballot a proposal to allow a minimum of 10 days of early voting, including two Saturdays, before each election. Supporters of the initiative will have to garner the signatures of roughly 100,000 registered Mississippi voters — 12% of the total from the last governor’s election — during a year’s time to place the proposal on the ballot. One-fourth of the required number of signatures must come from each of the four U.S. House districts.

                    American Airlines on Thursday criticized the restrictive voting rights bill that passed in the Texas state Senate, saying the legislation would "limit voting access."

                    "Earlier this morning, the Texas state Senate passed legislation with provisions that limit voting access. To make American's stance clear: We are strongly opposed to this bill and others like it," the airline, which is based in Fort Worth, Texas, wrote in a statement on Thursday.

                    "Any legislation dealing with how elections are conducted must ensure ballot integrity and security while making it easier to vote, not harder. At American, we believe we should break down barriers to diversity, equity and inclusion in our society - not create them," the statement added.

                    Southwest Airlines, which is also based in Texas, would not express if it was against the legislation, but did say, according to Reuters, "We believe every voter should have a fair opportunity to let their voice be heard. This right is essential to our nation's success."

                      I like that Georgia and Texas are moving towards the same voting laws that are in place in Canada. Everyone should have to show an ID or have a person vouch for them that has an ID. Nothing wrong with that.

                          The one thing that Canada gets right is it's voting laws and you can't support it. Go figure.

                            How the wealthy cut the line during Florida's frenzied vaccine rollout
                            BY SHARYN ALFONSI

                            APRIL 5, 2021 / 6:48 AM / CBS NEWS


                            This past week, President Biden said 90% of U.S. adults will be eligible for the COVID vaccine by April 19 and will be able to get their shots within five miles of their home. That will be welcome news to many in Florida.

                            For three months, we've been reporting around Palm Beach County, the third-largest in the state. It's home to old-monied millionaires but also some of the poorest day laborers and farm workers in America.


                            During those months, we watched Florida's vaccine rollout deteriorate into a virtual free for all and watched as some wealthy and well-connected residents cut the line, leaving other Floridians without a fair shot.


                            This is the town of Palm Beach. Privacy hedges hide beachfront mansions and a healthy share of billionaires. More than 80% of the town's seniors have been vaccinated. Bram Majtlis was one of the first.

                            Bram Majtlis: I was the lucky one that had my phone in my hands, pushed the link to make the appointment, and had an appointment.

                                cutting in line is noting new for the elites .. Newsome did it.... Coumo did it ... deBlahblah... whitmer .. Cooper... etc

                                they have the power so they take advantage of it. they do it also when there were lockdowns and they were spotted in closed dining places... private parties .. the list goes on n on.

                                They forget WHO pays their salaries.

                                this has been the way since civilization started " Let the eat cake " cake at that time was considered " trash food "
