As with electric cars, rooftop solar energy is great until it blows up and starts on fire: Now they tell us
Between April 2020 and June 2021, solar panels atop Amazon fulfillment
centers caught fire or experienced electrical explosions at least six
different times. ...
The documents, which have never been made public, indicate that between April 2020 and June 2021, Amazon experienced “critical fire or arc flash events” in at least six of its 47 North American sites with solar installations, effecting 12.7% of such facilities. Arc flashes are a kind of electrical explosion. ...
By June of last year, all of Amazon’s U.S. operations with solar had to be taken offline . . ..

Ann Coulter says Republicans shouldn't waste their time defending their incumbents or primarying them, just vote for the Democrat
Spending energy, time, volunteers [on primaries] is a zero-sum game when it comes to campaigns. We can not waste our time defending incumbents. As bad as Republicans are, there are a lot of bad Republicans, but there are no good Democrats. So do not primary an incumbent. Do not waste the time and money.

Ann Coulter goes off the rails, blames the Tea Party for Obamacare
She forgets that Obamacare was passed in March 2010, months before the "Tea Party" swept the US House in an historic win with the help of Freedom Works & Co.
. . . the Tea Party candidates lost us a lot of races and Senate seats. We would not have Obamacare if it weren't for a lot of the Tea Party candidates running against incumbent candidates.
Here.
Hello. Republicans won the US House in 2010, and the US Senate in 2014, the year Obamacare went live.
Methinks Ann is jealous that Republicans actually won that 2010 election because of indignation over mortgage bailouts instead of over something else. The Tea Party's origin was in 2009 after all, not 2010.
Recall that Rush Limbaugh blamed the faceless conservative "base", too, when McCain lost. But Ann names names, calling out Trump himself over and over (he has deserved it), Mitch McConnell (perennially), and now the Tea Party. Yeah, the Tea Party got co-opted for sure, but she's rewriting history here because she's pissed so many Trump aligned candidates have won their primaries, believing (hoping?) they will lose in November, you know, like they "lost" in 2010.
Well I sure hope so.
Ann spent years saying Obamacare was the number one issue before coming to prioritize immigration, maintaining as she did that illegal aliens were the number one beneficiaries of Obamacare. Now she blames everyone else for saying so, too.
Her irrational outbursts and ad hominem arguments are her own best case for repeal of the 19th Amendment.
Make up your mind, woman.

Breaking: Ozzy Osbourne moving back to safer, stabbing-epidemic-plagued England
Ozzy Osbourne moving back to England, doesn't want to 'die in crazy America'...
Meanwhile in England:
Last summer saw London’s worst period on record for violence, with knife-related attacks consisting of a large proportion of the horrific acts carried out in the capital. According to Metropolitan Police figures, there were 134 murders last year, 85 of which involved a knife (around 63 percent). ...
ONS data shows that in the first three months of the year, assaults involving an injury or an intent to harm actually increased to 120 percent of what they were at the same time last year (965 to 806). Attempted murders went down marginally from 13 to 11.
But threats to kill also increased from 175 to 226 when comparing the two periods. In the first half of 2022, 1,223 people in London were caught with a blade, compared to 1,415 in January to June last year – a reduction of just 14 percent. ...
One deterrent that has often been cited is 'stop and search,' . . . But it is an area that has “always been really difficult”, Mr Hedges said, toeing a fine line between law enforcement and racial profiling.
Hm, you don't say.
LOL, fear-mongering spending lunatic at The Daily Beast gets nothing right about Nigeria, which has Africa's largest economy and a COVID-19 death record 55 TIMES better than the world's, and: "A few trillion in U.S. government spending isn't a lot of money"
Gee, and Nigeria is only 14% jabbed . . . after all this time.
The U.S. is COVAX’s biggest donor, but not its most generous. Both Germany and Japan have donated a greater share of their gross domestic product. And another big injection of American money looks unlikely as Republicans pull tight the purse strings.
That means fewer vaccines for poorer countries as the pandemic grinds toward its fourth year and vaccination rates in the poorest countries remain stubbornly low—14 percent in Nigeria, for example, compared to the global rate of 63 percent. Starving COVAX “will only enhance global inequities,” Gostin said. ... A few trillion in U.S. government spending, spread out over years, arguably isn’t a lot of money . . ..
