Changing USA energy to clean energy will be winning small revolutions.

Clean energy in the USA may never have any stockholders, except, those of a local economy.

Waves crashing on the beach and rivers (click here) rushing through a sloping valley are forces of nature. The power of moving water is obvious to anyone who has stood amidst breaking waves or struggled to swim against a river’s current. New technologies can enable us to harness the might of moving water to help light our homes and keep our ice cream cold in the freezer without building new dams that can have major impacts on wildlife and water quality.

The use of water power dates back thousands of years to the water wheels of Ancient Greece, which used the energy in falling water to generate power to grind wheat. We now are presented with an opportunity to develop a new generation of water power, one that will harness the abundant energy of our oceans and rivers.

Hydrokinetic technologies produce renewable electricity by harnessing the kinetic energy of a body of water, the energy that results from its motion. Since water is 832 times denser than air, our tides, waves, ocean currents, and free-flowing rivers represent an untapped, powerful, highly-concentrated and clean energy resource–...
The real reason solar is a threat to Wall Street. (click here)

Wall Street cannot control individuals and the production of 'street energy' and it's sale back to the grid. 

ROOFTOP SOLAR DOES NOT PAY STOCKHOLDERS! 

It didn't seem like 93 minutes to me. The clock doesn't lie. 


Energy in the USA is FINALLY taking it's place among the most aggressive countries to defeat the climate crisis.

Want to talk about "Matthew?"

There is no such thing as clean coal.

Interpretation of "I will bring back our energy companies," is, "I have no clue as to how to create jobs unless it is exploiting the USA's natural resources."

This is what Assad and Russia have to defeat in Aleppo.

Russia does not want help. Assad is the ONLY leadership that is predictable. That is the problem. There is no rebel force that is predictable.

...Western governments and Russia (click here) have clashed at the UN Security Council even while the Syrian government presses ahead with its military offensive against rebel-held areas of Aleppo.
The UN Security Council voted on Saturday on two rival resolutions on the fighting - one drafted by France calling for an end to air strikes and a second by Russia that urged a ceasefire but made no mention of halting the bombings.
Russia vetoed the French-drafted resolution that would have demanded an immediate end to air strikes and military flights over Syria's second largest city, and for a truce along with humanitarian aid access throughout the country.
It is the fifth time Russia has vetoed a UN resolution on Syria during the more than five-year conflict....

Unfortunately, refugees is the real salvation of Syrians. 

Yossi Antebi and David Ginzi (click here) are amongst the Jews of Aleppo who immigrated to Israel; one has fond memories of his hometown, but the other remembers being ambushed on the way to school; regardless, both are saddened by the city's violence today....

The homeland has betrayed the refugees. In time the refugees will have the right to return, but, not now. It is far to dangerous to leave people in Aleppo and attempts to send in humanitarian aid can be used by killers and those that imprison the innocent people of Syria.

The United Nations Security Council has to consider Russia's war plan as the only workable solution to end the violence against Syrians. Once stabilized there can be changes proposed for a power sharing government. But, the stabilization of Syria will require time and intense scrutiny as to what defines stabilization. I think the UN Security Council has a difficult job to determine abuses of war in contrast to a war plan that will defeat the jihadist military in Syria. I think it is possible to understand Russia and Assad's war plan. 

Russia needs to stop asking for cease fires that it does not sincerely want and the USA needs to stop it's proxy war. There should be no goal other than ending the violent jihadist military and rescuing innocent people wherever possible. 

The Russians don't want the USA's help in Syria. I would think that is evident by now.

I think people in public can have personal opinions that are not part of their public domain. The one problem that comes to mind is the stance on abortion by Secretary Kerry when it was running for President. 

Secretary Kerry is Roman Catholic and practices those values in his personal life, but, recognized his responsibility in the public rhelm would be different. He is correct and Hillary Clinton today is correct. Most of those that work in government separate their personal beliefs from that of their jobs. 

The Iraq War:

...There is no evidence (click here) that we could find, however, that he spoke against the war before it started, although we did find he expressed early concerns about the cost and direction of the war a few months after it started....

Post mortem of a war is not insight.

This is what hate of Muslims acheived in the USA.

...A study comes (click here) after a Republican primary season that repeatedly featured anti-Muslim rhetoric. Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has repeatedly called for a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslim migration to the United States. Sen. Ted Cruz spoke at summits hosted by the Center for Security Policy, a group which has been declared an extremist anti-Muslim group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Ben Carson told Meet the Press that he believed Islam was inconsistent with the Constitution and said he wouldn't vote for a Muslim to be president. Two-thirds of Republican primary voters in New Hampshire favored banning Muslims from entering the United States, and last September, a survey of Republican voters in Iowa found that almost a third think Islam should be illegal....

Most of the fear promoting policies by Donald Trump is very dangerous.

The Co-ops allowed under the ACA is what is strained in some states.

Created by the Affordable Care Act, the CO-OP program was designed to help create nonprofit, member-controlled health insurance plans that would offer ACA-compliant policies in the individual and small business markets. A 15-member advisory board made recommendations to HHS regarding grants and loans for CO-OPs.
Twenty-four states had CO-OP plans available in their exchanges starting in October 2014, but a large number of them have been forced to close.

The entire ACA is not in question.

November 3, 2015
More than half of the nonprofit health insurance co-ops (click here) formed through the Affordable Care Act are now off the market for the coming year, with the last-minute departure of a plan in Michigan.
On Tuesday, two days after the start of the new enrollment season in insurance exchanges created under the health-care law, the Web site of Michigan’s Consumers Mutual Insurance posted notice that it will not sell coverage for 2016.
That co-op becomes the 12th plan to fail in the past year — and the ninth this fall — out of the 23 that opened at the start of 2014. The plans have offered an alternative, consumer-oriented type of coverage that the ACA envisioned as competition for traditional health insurers
Locker room talk is a poor excuse for victimizing women. I have trouble with his locker room talk. We still have many women that do not report the dangers in their lives by others. Women need empowerment, their children need protection.

Women need to be esteemed as honest and longing for happiness. Happiness does not live in homes where abuse resides.

Secretary Clinton makes the valid point that verbal abuse of Americans other than Caucasian (my words, not her's) has been coming from Donald Trump. This is more of the same. It is completely inappropriate. The lesson a country absorbs into it's moral fabric matters.

There are issues with illegal immigrants, but, that is all about immigration reform. How are any of the problems, including illegals that kill, going to be handled without immigration reform? The courts that handle these problems have enormous backlogs. Immigration reform has to take place, the current system is completely incompetent to handle the problems.

Paul Jones and Bill Clinton have nothing to do with this election.

Donald Trump has made his campaign successful by catering to the extreme right wing of the Republican party. 

"Acid Washing" now. He is making a fool of himself. The FBI was able to recover several thousand of the deleted emails. Secretary didn't handle the emails alone, she had lawyers making those decisions.

The FBI on Friday (click here) will begin sending the “several thousand” deleted work-related emails sent through Hillary Clinton’s private sever that it uncovered during its investigation to the State Department, government lawyers said Monday....

Women need empowerment in reporting abuse of any kind.

I appreciate Republicans stating Donald Trump's actions is sexual assault of Secretary Clinton.

I don't think it rises to that level.

There is verbal assault which is usually reserved for threats of physical harm.

Donald Trump's actions and words are however verbal abuse. Should a President be verbally abusive? I don't think so. There are real consequences to verbal abuse of anyone.

Secretary Clinton is a strong woman. She is not likely to be effected by verbal abuse, but, in the instance of women generally, verbal abuse is emotional abuse.

You may feel (click here) like if you're not being hurt physically, you are not being abused. But attempts to scare, isolate, or control you also are abuse. They can affect your physical and emotional well-being. And they often are a sign that physical abuse will follow....

Donald Trump is setting a dangerous tone for women. He needs to stop. 

The women appearing on behalf of Donald Trump had their complaints decades ago. There is no further actions that can or should be taken. They are also setting other women up to fail. Any type of abuse should be stopped at it's beginning and not allowed to exist for periods of time. Women need to report and take responsibility for their well being. This display by Donald Trump is not empowering, it is victimizing of these women all over again.
There are laws that stand between women and abuse by others. One of the prime reasons these issues are never reported is because the abuser has power over the woman.

Bragging about sexual conquests does damage of the woman. She has to burden the descriptions and it's impact on her reputation and ability to move through life.

This is not about Bill Clinton, this is about Donald Trump and his sexual abuse of women.

Juanita Broaddrick, the Arkansas nursing home administrator who accused former President Bill Clinton of raping her nearly four decades ago during his 1978 gubernatorial campaign, has been receiving widespread attention on Twitter for defending Donald Trump after the release of a videotape in which the GOP presidential candidate made lewd and candid comments.

NONE of this defendable. 

NONE OF IT.


Hillary Clinton did not rape anyone.


Donald Trump is trying to displace his guilt with a former President as if it was all okay and simply male antics. That is not the case. Every woman has a right to her body, name, image and reputation without impositions of men, in this instance, that victimize them. 

Donald Trump is guilty regardless of his politicizing of women. His politicizing of women is assault and some sick idea of vengeance for the sack of saving his campaign from ruin.

If this was his plan all along to defame Secretary Clinton it won't work. She is not guilty of any antics by men.

Secretary Clinton made her choices long ago. Donald Trump is verbally abusing the former Secretary.

Donald Trump did not run across a little known aspect of the Republican Party.

He candidly talks about when you're famous you can do anything with women and is caught saying at one point "Grab her by the pussy".

This is sexual assault. The woman involved needs to press charges. Just that simple. If she hasn't been empowered before, then this is discovery for her and the statutes of limitations have only begun running.

Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

Sexual assault may also involve sexual contact that is inflicted by someone who is trusted by or has authority over the victim.

Being famous does not bring with it "you can do anything with women." Famous is having power over women. But, that power does not entitle any person to seek and/or TAKE sexual gratification. "Grab her by the pussy" is taking power to the degree of criminal.

Sexual battery refers to contact with an intimate body part of another person that is unwantedby the victim and is done in order for the perpetrator to achieve sexual arousal, gratification, or abuse.

This is why military sexual assault is real.

If Donald Trump enters the oval office, he will diminish the importance of the work and dedication of women in the military.

Donald Trump has the backing of old, while men. Women have their place. In the home being barefoot, pregnant and serving her husband without question.

New vocabulary word:

contrite - feeling or showing regret for bad behavior

Really?

Is it an egalitarian word? Or is it exclusive to Donald Trump?

The people chose the candidates at the debate tonight. The integrity of electing a President is not up to parties at the last minute as the character of the election is distasteful.
