    John D. Rockefeller, the father of modern America, was not a liberal.

    And not to mention most of the power they generate is during non-peak times of the day.

    That does fix reliability. German's energy crisis started before the Ukraine War when significantly low wind production caused power shortages and huge spikes in natural gas prices.

    I'm not a MAGAtard but there are serious issues with wind production. The company I work for has had wind farms in the US and Canada since 2006. We have 16 wind farms in North America and 7 wind farms in Europe. Profitability(costs) and reliability are the biggest problems. The noise and unsightly appearance are also a problem.

    Damn dude that sux. I'm glad to hear it worked out. I was lucky. We cut 10%. It was either me or 2 people in my group. I was leaving next year any way and this way I get paid to go away.

    I hope this works out as well as the Mets attempt to buy a world series. That epic fail was such a pleasure to watch.

    True but you also have none of the risks of having negative equity if you are renting. We won't get into the impact of increasing the standard deduction had on the number of mortgage holders itemizing. Okay, so you are only paying 80% of the increase in mortgage interest and property tax. I don't advocate owning a home or renting. Each individual situation is very different.

    Insurance costs have gone up 45%. Maintenance cost are up about 50-55%. What is your point? And don't forget the increase in property taxes that comes with that increased value.
