A former Extinction Rebellion (XR) spokeswoman left the environmental group to campaign for nuclear power because she says it is the only way to deal with the climate crisis.

Zion Lights, writing in the Daily Mail, also said that she had become unable to defend some of the group's claims.

XR "peddle messages of doomsday gloom that alienate" and offer "little in the way of positive solutions", she added.

The group calls on governments to take immediate action on climate change. //

Ms Lights wrote articles for both the Daily Mail and the Daily Telegraph on Thursday explaining her decision to leave behind XR and support nuclear power.

She told the Mail she initially joined XR because its message was "listen to the scientists" and the role of spokesperson gave her a platform "to talk about what I truly felt mattered". //

Ms Lights, who began campaigning about the environment as a student in the early 2000s, said she also had doubts about XR's approach of telling people "what not to do" and "peddling the notion that the solution to the climate crisis was to turn back the clock to a simpler time".

Writing in the Telegraph, she said the campaigners who argued that we needed to all live with less - as she once did - had to accept this was not going to happen "and look to solutions instead". //

Much of the green movement was "steeped in an anti-nuclear mindset", she said, "when any rational, evidence-based approach shows that a strategy including nuclear energy is the only realistic solution to driving down emissions at the scale and speed required".

She denied she was making a U-turn, instead saying it was a "logical next step" in looking for solutions rather than "shouting ever more loudly about the problem".

Ms Lights said she has since taken a role at campaign group Environmental Progress UK, whose campaigns include supporting the building of the Sizewell C nuclear power station in Suffolk.

Nuclear power is planned to be a key part of the UK's future energy strategy.

When Boeing brought the 777-200LR to market, it needed a way to show the world that its range… //

On November 9th, 2005, Boeing decided to fly a Boeing 777-200LR demonstration model the ‘wrong-way’ around the world from Hong Kong to London to show off its range. Usually, aircraft would fly north-west, passing over China, Russia, and Northern Europe to London.

But this flight would take it over the Pacific, over North America, and then over the Atlantic. The plane passed over Los Angeles, skirted Chicago, buzzed New York before joining other transatlantic traffic.

The plane experienced turbulence over the Pacific, “But we had a great ride across the United States … and across the Atlantic, we saw our second sunrise of the trip,” Captain Suzanna Darcy-Hennemann said to Seattle Times.

The plane flew for 22 hours and 43 minutes, passing over the international dateline and saw two sunrises as it went the opposite way to the sun. To fly non-stop for so long, the aircraft had nine pilots and 27 others on board. Boeing allocated only 18kg to each passenger and crew, including cameras and laptops (which were big and heavy 15 years ago). The rest of the aircraft’s weight went to the 164 tons of fuel onboard. //

Upon landing, Boeing completed the record for the world’s longest flight by the Guinness Book of Records.

"This report isn't science..."

This hackery is getting tired //

The bottom line here is that the President disclosing that the US has a new nuclear weapon at some stage of development is hardly top-secret, or even secret. Nothing in his statement tells anything specific about what the weapon is or does. The entire kerfuffle in utter nonsense

There he goes again. //

“Whether he [Trump] said it or not, it is believable,” Rather said.

Welcome to the new “fake but accurate“, folks. The story doesn’t have to be true in order for liberals to be able to pass it off as “believable” – so as to insinuate it might as well be true.

It's always been deeper than they let on. //

Take Trump’s recent triumph in garnering a deal between the UAE and Israel, which also lead to an avalanche of other normalization moves by Arab countries towards the Jewish state. The President has been nominated for a Nobel Prize for the success.

President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report.

Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, submitted the nomination, Fox News reported.

“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde told Fox News.

The deal that led to that nomination was by far the most significant move toward peace in the Middle East in decades. And that’s precisely why it drove the foreign policy establishment, dominated by the left and Never Trump types, so insane. For years we’ve been assured by their “expertise” that such a quasi-alliance between Israel and the Arabs was not only impossible, but not preferable because it would only inflame tensions with the Palestinians. They were wrong. Again.

Unfortunately for the country, they’ve been wrong many times before. They were wrong about China. They were wrong about Iraq. They were wrong about how to fight in Afghanistan. They were wrong about Libya. They were wrong about the Arab Spring. They were wrong about Iran. They were wrong about Russia. They were wrong about Syria. I could keep going for a few more hundred words just listing major foreign policy failures by those who are held up as our intellectual betters. //

Asterix or The Adventures of Asterix is a series of French comic books
The series follows the exploits of a village of ancient Gauls as they resist Roman occupation.
They do so by means of a magic potion, brewed by their druid, which gives the recipient superhuman strength.

The idea that Mattis took the job as Secretary of Defense, requiring President Trump to ask for a Congressional waiver for him to do so, and then treated the man so shabbily behind his back makes me think one hell of a lot less about Mattis.

Secondly, Jim Mattis is Roman Catholic. The National Cathedral is also a) /pagan/ Episcopalian and b) nowhere near either the Pentagon, the White House, or Mattis’s quarters. The Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle is much closer to the White House than the National Cathedral if, indeed, he needed to unburden his soul for falling for the temptation of power.

The dark whisper about needing to “take collective action,” is concerning. It is one thing if a civilian cabinet secretary goes there. But if a recently retired Marine general starts talking about removing the president via “collective action,” it carries with it a whiff of Bonapartism and imagery more appropriate to Buenos Aires or Tegucigalpa than Washington, DC. It smacks of the classic thriller, Seven Days in May. (See Mike Ford’s excellent story on this that Woodward’s book has made relevant again, 7 or 8 Days in May. //

Assuming this story is true, it paints a shameful picture of Jim Mattis. He’s not the legendary “warrior monk,” he’s a disloyal and duplicitous man who took a job from a man he had no intention of serving to the best of his ability and then proceeded to sabotage him behind the scenes. Not a good look at all.

MONROVIA – The Minister of Mines & Energy has laid out the progress the country has made in overcoming constraints in the energy sector. Minister Gesler E. Murray said Liberia’s current energy infrastructures are in deficit, and as a result, have not been able to meet the load demand of the consuming public ... //

the area of generation, we have the Mount Coffee Hydro Power Plant which has been rehabilitated from a pre-war capacity of 65MW to 88MW.” Minister Murray disclosed; noting: “We also have the HFO Thermal generation of 38MW.” //

“In 2003, our energy infrastructures were in complete ruins, relating to all aspects of power systems: generation, transmission and distribution. We began to rebuild the system using 10MW high speed diesel generators, which was quite expensive. Now, we have HFO generation which is less expensive, and hydro generation.

“In 2004, there was zero demand, now in 2020, we have a peak of demand of 40MW, and in 2021, the load is expected to peak at 50 plus MW, and by 2022, we expect to domestically consume all of the generation from Mount Coffee.” //

According to him, the current access rate of 10 percent for Monrovia and its environs, and only 5 percent nationwide is very low, emphasizing “this is very unacceptable, considering that energy is the lifeblood for any economy.”

“We have wholeheartedly embraced the WAPP concept and the agreed ECOWAS Master Plan of which the CLSG and Mount Coffee are a part of. We are working along with WAPP and the World Bank to complete the Bankable Feasibility Study for a 44 MW Mount Coffee extension, a solar plant with the capacity of 90 MW, and the construction of a second Hydropower Plant within the St. Paul River Basin. We are also working along with WAPP to conduct a feasibility study for a 225KVA line extension from San Pedro to Buchanan and we are also considering a joint Tiboto Hydropower project with neighboring Cote D’ Ivoire within the Cavala River Basin.”

“We consider electricity to be a poverty alleviation and wealth creation facility. So it is our desire that everyone should have it as much as possible. It is incumbent on this government to expand the access rate.”

According to Strzok, the IG was prepared to exonerate him in Clinton investigation until White House intervened.

Maybe the "System" is getting fed up with political violence by Democrats, even in Democrat states. //

Olivia Winslow & Camryn Amy are facing 7 charges. 3 of those charges are felonies. Of those which include assault, robbery, and hate crimes against a 7 year old child. They are facing a potential 15 year sentence. The timeout generation is a complete failure.

The Atlantic's article is evocative, but it provides no named sources. Some who were there have disputed the claims on the record. Add one more to the list.

First published in January 1981, Mandate for Leadership served as a conservative plan of action for the Reagan Administration. By the end of Reagan’s first year, he had implemented nearly half of its ideas. This first edition of Mandate for Leadership appeared on the Washington Post’s paperback bestseller list, and the Post called it “an action plan for turning the government toward the right as fast as possible.”

Since 1981, Heritage has published five editions. The 2016 edition of Mandate for Leadership earned significant attention from the Trump Administration, which embraced 64 percent of its policy solutions.

For decades, Heritage has been on the forefront of policy innovation and impact. This year’s volume of the famed Mandate series is no exception. The conservative agenda presented within this book is thoughtful and dynamic, and any Administration can use this analysis to make the country better.

Disney can't stonewall its way out of this one. //

If Disney thought that its recent cooperation with China’s human rights-violating government would blow over while suffering only a boycott of Mulan, then the corporation was very, very wrong.

It turns out that prominent stakeholders are about to make the corporation very uncomfortable.

“What is the issue here is thanking the Turpan Public Security Bureau, which operates in southern Xinjiang, where much of the principal photography took place,” wrote Slager. “This is the region where the controversy over the aggressive policing of the Muslim Uighurs by the Chi-Coms has been centered.”

Dropping these tapes now has one purpose and one purpose alone: to affect the outcome of the elections. //

Trump’s comments on-tape were made, not after 190,000 Americans had died. These comments weren’t made after 6 million positive tests. When these comments were made, how many cases and deaths were there in the United States? The answer is one case and zero deaths. If we fast forward to March 10th, there were less than 300 cases nationally and only a couple dozen deaths. //

ignoring in their comments (or burying them deep in stories) that the tapes were made February 7th and March 10th, not September 7th. Trump didn’t callously state this now. He cautiously commented then, while leftists fought him ideologically on every step he attempted to take in reducing the risk to Americans. //

Woodward's account of what Trump said about the virus came up in the media a while ago, its just being recycled as a new story.

He actually said nothing to Woodward that he didn't say in public. And something that's not contradictory is being spun as contradictory to make it sound like he lied, when he didn't.

The people pushing this nonsense seem incapable of complex thought. Evidence that was out then showed the virus was deadlier than the flu, but that doesn't necessarily mean there was a reason to panic about it then, nor is there a reason now. The panic at the time encouraged people to crowd into supermarkets to buy TP, which likely accelerated the spread of the virus.
