"Let us never forget this fundamental truth: the State has no source of money other than money which people earn themselves. If the State wishes to spend more it can do so only by borrowing your savings or by taxing you more. It is no good thinking that someone else will pay—that “someone else” is you. There is no such thing as public money; there is only taxpayers' money."-- Margaret Thatcher

I hate to ask, but we REALLY need some more donations.

The recent criticism of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) is not an issue of climate skepticism or denial. There is no denial of facts that the planet is warming and what may be the consequences. As much as activists want to paint the crisis along the lines of a right-wing v left-wing political conflict, this emerging scandal is a result of unethical academic behavior by a small group of highly-paid climate attribution interest groups.

The cost of paying Britain’s wind farms to turn off has soared past £1.5 billion so far this year – according to new figures that will infuriate households squeezed by soaring energy bills.

Analysis shows the sum has already gone past the £1.47 billion total for last year, with three months still to go.

On windy days, turbines can produce more power than the local grid can cope with – so operators are paid to turn them off.

In addition, gas-fired power stations closer to urban areas where demand is greatest are paid to turn on, to replace this lost energy.
