Here's the bill: https://webservices.ncleg.gov/ViewBillDocument/2021/54057/0/...
All they have to do is charge per unit time and electricity used, not give away electricity for free. They don't even have to charge their full marginal costs.
This merely prevents people from using these as unlimited free parking.
Wow, I'm glad I live multiple states away from this guy.
I think Henry VIII said the same thing a couple of times
So, they are reverting back to coal, then.
In other words, a person who doesn't think for him/herself. We have plenty of those. They are welcome to stay where they are.
This is a misquote of a paper (and I don't see peer-review details) from 2006. I don't see how anybody was getting .05 second response on the web in 2006.
This is absolutely false and, in fact, has never been the case.
>a cloture vote. It can currently be rejected by a single _staffer_ of any Congressperson _via email_
This is absolutely false as well. You are confusing hold requests with cloture and are confusing the Senate with the House. Cloture is a formal roll call vote in the Senate; no "staffer" participates.
This is a flat lie that you repeat. The Democrat caucus collectively "has the votes" to do essentially anything. They could even end the Senate filibuster rule! (It's just a rule of the chamber that can be overturned by simple majority, and they run the Rules committee.)
To the contrary, I find it odd that there isn't a single upper-tier livable city in the western 2/3rds of the US but every city in the eastern 95% of Australia is top tier. Hell, my neighbors immigrated from Australia.
If you can't name "many" such lies (let's start with, say, three?), then you are indeed doing an ad hominem attack.
That tells you all you need to know about Commondreams' partisanship: all committees of both houses and all roll calls are under full control of the Democrats. There is no mechanism for Republicans to limit Congress from "addressing" anything. Filibuster is limited to calling for votes only. The House can literally push through legislation all the way from drafting to passage without allowing Republicans to even see the bill, as was done with ObamaCare.
These people are flat liars. NRA doesn't have that kind of budget. Per opensecrets.org, NRA spent $786,052 in campaign donations for the 2020 cycle total (Congress and Presidency). They spent an additional $2.2M in total lobbying costs in 2020 and $3.2M in 2019.
Nothing remotely approaching the claimed "$250 million".
They could have done universal healthcare instead of ACA and with much simpler legislation and less regulatory authoring burden.
Not quite. He entered office with net neutrality in effect but then changed the regulatory umbrella it fell under into one without net neutrality in 2009, which Comcast and Verizon took advantage of in the courts. It wasn't until 2015 that ISPs were categorized in Title II and made subject to net neutrality constraints again.
Obama also nominated Ajit Pai to the FCC in the first place.
Name any three blue counties with Republican county sheriffs.
