Amoxtli@thelemmy.clubtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•They Warned Us in 1945: Fascism in America Would Look Like Patriotism - The Rational LeagueEnglish17·1 month agoTrump got elected because of immigration of all types. His tariffs reflect America First policy. He is a populist, and he believes in the common things, as Joe Six Pack does. Bernie Sanders is a populist as well, but he is a socialist. In both cases, the voter is thinking that the system has failed, or is failing. The Bernie supporter believes capitalism has failed, and the Trump supporter believes that liberal economics has failed. In both cases, they want what they think is “fairness”. They both believe there is a zero-sum game, and the pie is shrinking, or not distributed evenly, and that we are reaching some kind of peak that will usher in decline. Both sides believe their country is in decline. I am not saying the US does not have problems, but the liberal elites failed to address the issue of living costs and in my opinion, general price increase while having a foreign policy that seems to disconnect them from domestic issues. Both sides will have suicidal policies, thinking they will address the problem, that is free trade, and lack of sufficient wealth redistribution. Why did you think Obama ran on “hope and change”? He himself is a liberal that ran on America being on the decline.
Amoxtli@thelemmy.clubtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•They Warned Us in 1945: Fascism in America Would Look Like Patriotism - The Rational LeagueEnglish111·1 month agoI suspect they don’t know what fascism is. Fascism is nationalism, corporatism, and authoritarianism. Almost all political movements are about fear. Climate alarmist fear global warming, communist fear capitalism, if there was no fear, then there would be no anxiety, or worry. Democrats feared Donald Trump. Most of the world is nationalist, including Ukraine. Israel is nationalist. China is nationalist. Japan is nationalist. The list goes on and on. The world is structured as nation-states for a reason. Donald Trump is a nationalist, that doesn’t necessarily make him a fascist. He is a populist, that is why he won. Kamala Harris/Joe Biden 2.0 didn’t win because she is not a populist, she wanted people to vote for her, so she can tell them how the world should.
The paradox of the progressive is the support of unions, which are the very constituents that would prefer nationalism, and anti-immigration. Joe Biden did poorly on the immigration front. When you have unions and bus drivers deciding policy for your country, you will have a dysfunctional state in the future. To the democrat who says, finally democracy is working, the people are leading policy, not elites.

Amoxtli@thelemmy.clubto Technology@lemmy.world•Scientists caution against charging electric vehicles at home overnightEnglish12·1 month agoThe study the article is talking about, is a possible solution to cover California’s solar energy glut problem during the day, because the state doesn’t have enough batteries. It is a case study. In trying to do that, it may create other problems, such as infrastructure to get people to charge their cars during the day while they work. This means employers must pay or get somebody to pay for chargers at the work place, adding onto more costs onto the employee and/or employer. Nighttime charging may be cheaper and more convenient, but remember, the study wants you to capture all the wonder solar power during the day, not use potential green house gases from natural gas at night. The more complexity, the more problems you have.
Amoxtli@thelemmy.clubto Green Energy@slrpnk.net•Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at nightEnglish519·1 month agoThe Hill tries to make backup energy as something that brings volatility and rolling blackouts, which makes no sense. Implying they believe that wind and solar should go without backup, and consistent generation at night, which is basically extra capacity. If you are going to need to roll out back up generation in the future, might as well do it now, instead of later. This does a couple of things for the Texas GOP goal of increasing reliability, it increases the responsibility on solar and wind producers to address their own volatility, instead of dumping the volatility on ancillary services, which get less revenue, because of their off-time, accommodating wind and solar. By forcing solar, and wind producers to buy capacity from what would most think as only backup generation, the Legislature wants to force wind, and solar to participate in 24 hour production. A mandate like this makes room for reliable energy rollout, basically more support for natural gas, and presumably batteries, instead of just crowding out the preferred energy types.
Amoxtli@thelemmy.clubto Green Energy@slrpnk.net•California wants to kill rooftop solar — all because officials duped by this flawed theory | Too many officials have bought a key utility company excuse for rising energy prices — solar "cost shift"English22·1 month agoI don’t think the author of this article understands what he wrote about, or purposely omitting key things about grid balancing. The problem with rooftop solar incentives is they encourage solar production during the day when the sun is out, but do nothing when the sun settles. California has to switch to other types of energy such as batteries, natural gas plants, etc. for the evening. The grid is already saturated with energy during the day, even into negative prices. Utilities are paying into these rooftops, perhaps at retail prices, for something that does not address the energy gaps through the 24-hour timeline of power generation. In simple terms, California’s rooftop solar does not balance out the system over a timescale, with diminishing returns. At least, the article was stamped as an opinion piece, increasing the likelihood of it being a biased article that delves into conspiracy theories that California, and its regulated utility companies just want to screw people. There you go.
