<p>Long Islander,</p>
<p>Connecticut rejected the Maine wind turbines, and CT decided to have two CT utilities buy the entire output of the 2100 MW Millstone nuclear plant</p>
<p></p>
<p>The plant generates about 2100 MW x 8766 h/y x 0.90, capacity factor = 16 BILLION kWh/y at 5.5 c/kWh.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That low cost STEADY, NEAR ZERO CO2 electricity will be an IMMEDIATE major boost for the CT economy, instead of having to shell out billions$ to build out wind and solar and grid expansion all…</p>

<p>That low cost STEADY, NEAR ZERO CO2 electricity will be an IMMEDIATE major boost for the CT economy, instead of having to shell out billions$ to build out wind and solar and grid expansion all over the place, for about 15 years, to produce VARIABLE, INTERMITTENT electricity, at about 9 c/ kWh.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And the junk wind/solar electricity cannot ever stand on its own, because it will need gas turbines for peaking, filling in and balancing, 24/7/365.</p>

<p><strong>Fight Back Against Fake New and The Hell with Political Correctness</strong></p>
<p>What Blankenship and the Covington Catholic boys’ respective sagas prove is that the mainstream media -- particularly legacy media such as the Washington Post and CNN -- hold an inordinate amount of power in our society: the power to decide what constitutes reality and what constitutes fantasy.

<p><strong>Fight Back Against Fake New and The Hell with Political Correctness</strong></p>
<p>What Blankenship and the Covington Catholic boys’ respective sagas prove is that the mainstream media -- particularly legacy media such as the Washington Post and CNN -- hold an inordinate amount of power in our society: the power to decide what constitutes reality and what constitutes fantasy. We accordingly have few places to turn when the colossus that is the mainstream media decides to pass off fiction as fact, for by controlling the flow of information to the public, they also control the political narrative minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day. The average American is always at the mercy of these once-trustworthy institutions, what some still archaically call “the Fourth Estate” of American society.</p>
<p>The answer to such a flagrant abuse of power by these “gatekeepers” is obvious: the civil court system.</p>
