Trump was sentenced to an “unconditional discharge” with no legal penalties, so the Corrupt-Lefty-Lawfare-Blob was able to pin a judgement of guilt on Trump’s permanent record.

I wonder how much asbestos is blowing around LA right now from old buildings being burned? I have read that painters used to mix asbestos powder into oil paints. I do not know how widespread that practice was.
California aiming at “Net Zero” is not only insane, it’s impossible. They have just blown through any emission reduction goals for years to come with these fires.
The dose makes the poison.
Now that Trump is a convicted felon for having a NDA with some “hush money” attached to it, can we see what was paid out of the Congressional slush fund?
It would be nice to know the name of the Congresscritter, the amount distributed, the offense. They can redact the name of the “victim” but it would be nice to know if there are any repeat victims who might be accusing one person, get the money and then move on to another representative.

I agree. I asked the Google AI how we can achieve Netzero with many countries opening coal power plants. The answer.
“ To achieve net zero emissions despite China and India opening new coal-fired power plants, a critical approach involves rapidly scaling up renewable energy sources like solar and wind power to offset coal emissions, alongside implementing energy efficiency measures, promoting carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology at existing coal plants, and facilitating a just transition for coal-dependent communities in these countries through policy support and investment in alternative industries.”
This is typical green propaganda but is a widely held belief on the left. Intermittent Wind and solar do not work for always on electric power no matter how much battery storage you put on
If you took away the typewriters from that proverbial infinite number of monkeys and put each monkey behind the wheel of a Kenworth, how many miles would they have to drive to match the air pollution generated in LA over the past week?
Another: How will the police and fire services get around when the power is shut down (as it is now) when the environmental idiots have succeed in having them working with all-electric vehicle fleets?
Imagine voting to burn your city down just so you could pat yourself on the back for being “anti-racist” and “multicultural.”
OK…seems she is part of Bannon’s WarRoom (?).
If California (or China or India or anywhere else) really wanted to achieve “Net Zero” the answer would be to build a whole bunch new of nuclear power plants.
With all that real estate that was burned down, perhaps Los Angeles should consider relegating some of it for building a brand new giant desalination plant powered by a nuclear reactor. That’d go along way to solving a fair amount of their fresh water woes. The Palisades looks like it might be a perfect location.
Nonapod,
Right or wrong, after Fukushima a nuclear plant in an earthquake fault zone would be a hard sell.
Rufus T. Firefly,
I think one of the newer Generation IV reactor designs may offer far better safety features for dealing with earthquakes and tsunamis. I agree of course that convincing the general public of that is a whole other problem.
Generation doesn’t have to be in an earthquake zone or even in-state; California has room for a lot of nuclear plants outside earthquake zones. California utilities already own generation in Arizona and Utah and can certainly put nuclear plants there if so inclined.
According to the State of California, electricity consumption was 287.8 GW-hr in 2022, and in-state electricity generation was 202.4 GW-hr. Just about 30% of their electricity consumption, then, came from out of state. Given that so much does, there’s little reason to think they couldn’t add more out-of-state generation to meet their needs.
Of the energy they generate, about two-thirds came from natural gas, hydro, and nuclear.
Axios has some….interesting…thoughts on fact-checking and reality:

Of the energy they generate, about two-thirds came from natural gas, hydro, and nuclear.
Of the energy they import, two-thirds is from Arizona and Utah, with the Pacific Northwest hydro projects making up the rest.
That’s a long way for electricity to travel, so there’s no reason they have to build anything in an earthquake zone.
But will California Californicate their own out-of-state energy supply with Climate Change requirements?
Inconceivable you say.
There is no reason …..
