Despite the massive investment

in Wind and Solar, despite the constant attempts to shut them down with EPA (or the EU equivalents) regulations in the name of Clean Air

Coal burning power lants are still is the largest source for electrical generation world wide.

Coal remains the world’s largest power source, generating nearly 11,000 TWh in 2026—77% more electricity than wind and solar combined.

The reason is that it works, It works no matter whether the wind is blowing or not, or if it is cloudy, or if it is rainy or snowy. It works in ice, in winter, and it works when it is needed.

Unlike wind and solar,

 

Math question:

So let us say I had 12 guns:

The Federal Government raids my house and confiscates 6, because that is all they could find due to the fact that I stashed the rest where they couldn’t find them.

How many do I have left?

 

53, that’s how many….( I lied about only having 12}

I have 53 left.

 

Freedom is what you make of it.

Never show your hole card until it is time:

I might have even more…..

 

 

Always pay cash and do private sales when possible. Have at least one stored where no one can find it. Remember ammo…..

An unarmed man is a Subject, an armed man is a Citizen.

Choose….

Everywhere else

In Northwest Indiana, people have made it through the week-or-more power outage without needing “Donations” to help them. Everywhere else, the residents clean up the storm damage (at least do their best to make sure the roads are passable)  and are grateful when the power line repair crews show up to fix things. The residents make do, either with generators or other means, and help each other…they have family to stay with or to help them clean up themselves or their laundry.

But not in Gary, Indiana, especially those in Public (Or Publicly Subsidized) housing: nope. those people just sit there and wait for someone else to feed them, wash them, bring them clean clothes….and bitch about it a lot, despite the Free Shit.

Their city government (That they vote in years after year, full of graft and nepotism) refused to clear the trees from the streets so the power line crews could GET TO the damaged power lines (many of which were so old (Because no one wants to invest in a neighborhood with so much crime and other issues), that they could not be repaired with modern materials, requiring a lot of a rebuilding rather than just repair)…and the crews have to have police escorts just so that they can work without fear of being shot at…..

But the residents just bitch about the conditions that they have made for themselves.  They bitch because no one is fixing their ancient infrastructure fast enough and no one is giving them enough Free Shit.

There is something wrong with these people and their culture. Perhaps this is why Africa is a shithole once the europeans leave and let the natives run things….

 

Got wood? Big wood?

I do.

We loaded storm damaged Cherry trees for firewood. Lots more available. If you are in NWI and need firewood (or know someone with a sawmill that wants some), email me.

Some dis-assembly required.

Here it is loaded ready for hauling to my house.

This is the third load of cherry I have hauled, I got firewood for the next three years for me and my neighbor.

There are some really massive trees that got uprooted 2 storms ago. These are the medium sized pieces. Easy for me to handle with the tractor with the log tongs. The big ones are about 2500 LBs.

Only in Gary, Indiana

Where else would you have to have police escorts for the crews trying to restore the electrical power in the neighborhoods after the storms we had last week?

Everywhere else, people welcome the restoration and repair crews, But not in Gary.

Something about those folks and their culture is just wrong.

Like him, I thought the sawzall would be the best (and it might still be for vertical pipe, I dunno)

 

But either way, all of the ways to cut pipe seem to take about a minute more or less.

YMMV, closed course with a professional driver, no Flock cameras were harmed in the making of this video, obey all local laws, etc, etc, etc
