When a post is a link to an article, I would prefer that the post title match the article. Many news communities actually require that.

More importantly, the evil people running the petroleum industry are in fact old, but that is not why they are evil.

Evil people in positions of power tend to be old because a) it takes time to accumulate power, and b) folks with power tend to keep it till they're dead. It's just statistics - it doesn't mean oldness causes evil.

Wisconsin already blocks access to all goverment websites if you use a VPN. I can't even check the garbage collection schedule for my town. I always thought it was this misguided concept that they thought only "hackers" would want to be anonymous. It seems they are really working for the data brokers, who don't want anyone to be anonymous.

The average republican is not super wealthy, of course, but they are manipulated and controlled by those who are.

He spoke at a demonstration. You linked his speech at the UN. Different things.

I could have stated it better. What I meant was that the fraction of kinetic energy that is taken from the wind is so small that the total kinetic energy in the wind is probably not the important factor that changes with wind speed. The dynamics of how the lift depends on wind speed is probably much more important.

It's much too late for that.
