Read this: It is time to stop accepting the naysayers on the right about solar energy. If we really want to move to renewables, we can. This proves there are alternatives to more extreme extraction, more drilling, more chemicals, basically more propoganda. I have come across several stories about the opening of the “Topaz Solar Farm” near Moro Bay, CA. This is currently “the largest commercial-scale photovoltaic solar power (solar PV) generation facility in the United States.” The link below to CleanEnergy / ACTION PROJECTgives details about this and other substantial solar projects.

How Democrats actually got more votes that Republicans in 2014 election and still lost.

Read and watch: A seldom reported fact of the 2014 election is that while the Republicans picked up significant numbers of seats in both the Senate and the House, Democrats actually received significantly more votes throughout the nation. On her recent show, Melissa Harris-Perry immediately interrupted Robert Traynham in the middle of his right wing spin. This is something that many Liberal talking heads on TV rarely do and they should begin to take note. Facts are facts and lies or partial truths portray a very fictional view of reality. In the 2014 election, “Even after a 2014 election where Republicans won big, Democratic Senators in the Senate chamber are governing with 20 million more votes from our citizens than Republican senators.” Likewise in the House, “Democrats out-earned their Republican counterparts by 1.17 million votes.” This suggests that “Republicans have all those seats they do not have the mandate they fervently claim.” They have simply played the game more effectively (I didn’t mention $).
