Button for Sale: Gavin Newsom POTUS 2024

I've Changed my Mind... New Information has Caused a Re-Thinking of my Beliefs... That's the Way Sanity Works!

For Decades I Have been Totally Opposed to Atomic Power... However, the Continuation of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant for another Five Years seems to make sense in this ONE CASE...

Headline: California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a law to keep the Diablo Canyon nuclear plant running until 2030, five years past its previous planned closure date.

The bill, SB-846, was similar to a proposal the governor put forth in August, but included some compromises.

This Summer when it was 113 Degrees for a week I ABSOLUTELY Wanted the Electricity to Flow... Powering the Air Conditioner here at Home... Even If My Comfort caused Problems for People Living in the Future...

The Basic problem with Atomic Energy is that It Creates Radioactive Waste that has to be Stored Safely for 10,000 Years... but I'll be Dead for Most of that time... and It Won't Matter to ME...

I'm Living HERE, NOW and I want that Air Conditioner to Work!

It appears that Solar and Wind is NOT Creating enough Electricity RIGHT NOW to Power Everything We Want to power... We may have enough capacity in 2030 but Today it's not enough... Especially Here near Sacramento where our Power Company, SMUD, gets most of its Electricity from Hydroelectric Dams on the American River... and the DROUGHT has reduced their output...

Remember: This Summer the Generators at the Oroville Dam TOTALLY STOPPED WORKING because there was no water flowing...

So... For an Extra Five Years we ought to keep Diablo Canyon Running... It'll cost $1.4 Billion Dollars of Federal Money to Pay PG&E to do the Needed Repairs and Maintenance... But It's TOTALLY WORTH IT... Especially Since the Money is Federal "Magic" Money... It's Created out of Thin Air... and It's Just Piling on to the $31 Trillion Federal Deficit... It's not REAL MONEY... It's Just Numbers in Computers... and Congress Already passed the Infrastructure Law... and Biden Signed it... So... Let's Spend it to Keep MY AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING.

Remember: Be Here Now - and If People in the Future Suffer for my Bad Choices... Sorry...

I lived next door to an Abandoned Nuclear Power Plant in Eureka, CA... PG&E Stopped Running the Reactor in 1974. They Stored the Waste in a Giant Swimming Pool for 40 years and then Moved it to Above Ground Casks... The only Foreseeable Problem is an Earthquake... and we Live in a Known Earthquake Zone... and Spilling the Toxic Waste on the Ground... or Terrorists creating a Dirty Bomb by Placing a Traditional Bomb under the Casks... However That's Unlikely... after all, there is a Fence to Keep the Crazies OUT!

Did You Know? A California Startup has Built a Slingshot to Launch Rockets to Outer Space... a VERY Practical Application of this Technology would be to Launch Atomic Waste into THE SUN... Just shoot it far enough UP and Towards The Sun... Gravity will Dispose of it forever...

Headline: Startup SpinLaunch completes first test flight with wild rocket-flinging launch system...

But I still think VOGTLE, Georgia is an Abomination! 16 Billion Dollars Over Budget and Six Years behind Schedule... and the Customers Will have to Pay for That Boondoggle!

Headline: Greta Thunberg Says Germany Should Keep Its Nuclear Plants Open...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-11/greta-thunberg-says-germany-should-keep-its-nuclear-plants-open

Germany shouldn’t close nuclear plants that are currently generating power if it means increasing the burning of coal, Greta Thunberg said.

One other Thought... It Appears that the Vast Majority of People are NOT Changing their Behavior in order to Stop Climate Change...

For Example: People Still Fly in Jet Airplanes... and Those things Cause an Amazing Amount of Air Pollution that Causes Climate Change...

and People Keep on Driving Cars that Burn Gasoline... Often Just for Fun! I Understand that if you have to commute to get to work... there isn't much choice... if you are a parent, you have to be able to drive over to your kid's school and pick 'em up in an Emergency...

BUT... Driving 1,800 Miles for a Honeymoon is NOT UNDERSTANDING the Problem... Flying from San Francisco to New York to Visit the New Grandchildren... is NOT UNDERSTANDING the Problem...

and People are Rebuilding Homes in the Same Location that Was Destroyed... a Wildfire Wiped out Paradise, California and Many Residents are Building There Again...

and then I Read on FaceBorg:

A guy goes into a bar in Washington where there is a robot bartender.
The robot says, "What will you have?
The guy replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings back his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The guy say, "168."
The robot continues to talk about physics, space exploration, and medical technology.
After the guy leaves and the more he thinks about it, the more curious he gets, so he decides to go back.
The robot asks, "What's your drink?"
The guy answers, "Whiskey."
The robot returns with his drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man replies, "100."
The robot talks about Nascar, Football and Hockey.
The man finishes his drink, leaves, but is so interested in his "experiment" that he decides to try again.
He enters the bar and, as usual, the robot asks him what he want to drink.
The man replies, "Whiskey."
The robot brings the drink and asks, "What's your IQ?"
The man answers, "50."
The robot leans in real close and says, “the election was rigged. Trump Really Won.”

Vote No Recall - California Governor - meme - gvan42

and here is a letter written by my brother...

Hi family:

By now you probably have received your sample ballot for the September 14 election, and seen that there are 46 candidates running to be California’s governor, should the Gavin Newsom recall be successful. The candidate with the highest number of votes wins, which means that someone who gets only about 5% of the total votes cast could become governor! Most of the candidates are of the worst possible Trump-lovers, with the candidate that is highest in the polls being a right-wing radio talk show host who has been using his radio show to stir-up his followers for months.

There are lots of reasons to oppose the recall process, but our choice at this point is to VOTE NO on the recall, and ask your friends to join you. The outcome will all depend on voter turnout. You will get your ballot in the mail in the next few days. Fill it out and mail it back. It is as simple as that.

Any of the 46 alternate candidates would be an environmental disaster and undermine California’s leadership in green energy and EVs. The candidates also want to repeal the state-wide minimum wage, and roll back all manner of progressive policies.

If you want more information, I suggest you visit the website of the California League of Conservation Voters Current Endorsements | California League of Conservation Voters (ecovote.org). Then write a personal email, letter, or make a phone call to your friends and urge them to vote.

Thank you, Marty (dad)

and then I read on Facebook... SE SAID:

Fellow Californians: be sure to mark your calendars for September 14, 2021, because that’s the date of the recall election for Governor Newsom. It’s important to vote that day, because if more Republicans than Democrats vote that day, there is a possibility that Newsom could be recalled and replaced by some right-wing nutjob. I don’t know if we will be able to vote by mail on this or not, but please set aside time on Sept 14 to vote “no” on the recall. The ballot will ask whether or not you want to see Newsom recalled, and if the answer is yes, it will ask who you want to see as his replacement. It’s very important that as many Californians as possible vote “no” to the question of whether or not we want him recalled! This is very important. We do not want right-wingers seizing control of our state!

September 14th! Save the date, and VOTE!!!

and A Guy on Facebook Said: Our household is voting NO on the Republican Recall. If California was its own sovereign nation, we would be ranked the 5th largest economy in the world. We are not going to hand the reins of running this state over to a reality TV star, a radio talk show pundit nor a real estate broker. I agree that Gavin has made mistakes, however, they do not rise to the level of being fired from office. Vote NO on the Republican Recall!

and now for something completely different

SE on Facebook Posted about Being Grateful for Living in California...

It’s interesting how much we take for granted here in California. This past Saturday, late in the afternoon, my friend and I took a ride up the Peninsula to San Francisco. That took about 40 minutes from San Jose. We hit heavy traffic in the City and on the Golden Gate Bridge, where we complained about the crappy drivers while we marveled at the beautiful view of the City and the bay. We had a nice dinner on a patio overlooking the bay in Sausalito, watching the boats and ferries, and of course that beautiful view of the City. On our way back over the Golden Gate Bridge, I remarked, “You know, people come from all over the world to see this.” Back in the City, we were using Coit Tower as our reference point to get to North Beach. “Just keep Coit Tower in your sight, and you can’t miss it,” I said. When we couldn’t find parking right away in North Beach, we ended up following a winding road all the way to Coit Tower, where we stopped and looked out at the breathtaking views of the City and the bay. Later, after drinks and people-watching in North Beach, we decided to head home at around midnight. As we were driving out of the City, we saw the flickering lights on the Bay Bridge. Back in San Jose, I couldn’t help thinking how lucky we are. All those things we did in one evening, all the things we saw, which we see all the time and barely notice - many people will go their whole lives and never see those things at all.

VK Replied: It's like Lake Tahoe just an hour and a half from us, one of the most beautiful and talked about lakes in the world.

SE Said: Yeah, these are just a few of the reasons why our state is so overpopulated and expensive, because we have so many wonderful things which people come from all over the world to see and experience. That’s why it always makes me laugh when certain right-wingers describe CA as a “cesspool,” and they act like no one wants to live here. I know that they’re really just jealous.
