The SOI is at neutral level for the 90 day average, are other factors the reason for the dire predictions of a dry summer?

SOI → Statistics Of Income
No! Wait! Let’s try …

The federal floating wind lease sale off Oregon has been cancelled due to hostility.

Great news!

From the link:
“Offshore wind continues to be a critical opportunity for Oregon to meet its 100% clean energy goals by 2040, address climate change, and provide economic opportunities for Oregon workers and businesses,” …
By 2040 it should be obvious that this was an opportunity best missed.
Oregon has relatively low electrical rates. Floating towers in the nearby ocean will only cause the rates to float higher and higher.

I think they might be terrified that Trump will win and dirty, expensive, unreliable, environmentally destructive wind and solar subsidy plantations are a huge political risk.
And that decision made by a woke blue state as well.
Also, with plenty of coal, gas, oil and nuclear energy, and Trump promising to liberate more of all of them, why would anyone want to revert to wind technology which was abandoned centuries ago as soon as a viable steam engine was invented?

Startling what ‘consensus’ means now.
The Approved Ones manufacture it and those that do not concede are to be silenced.
Of course, the New Censors are only censoring because they realize they are alienating the public and can only prevail by force.
More COVID booster advertising might help.

A reminder to non-Leftists who oppose censorship, today is the deadline to put yoor submission in to the Australiam Government opposing the latest proposed censorship laws.
You can either upload it or email it. I chose to email mine to [email protected]
If a Leftist, I guess you’d be making a submission demanding even more censorship…you wouldn’t want to be exposed to alternative opinions…and as you know, Government knows best….

Porsche have patented a six stroke engine.
I doubt it’s commercially viable though as it’s too mechanically complex.

Yesterday, Honk R Smith posted this disturbing video featuring John Kerry essentially complaining about free speech and the US First Amendment which guarantees that.
The Left are marching in lockstep just about everywhere, including in Australia where the Government is urgently trying to push through its censorship legislation.
Make no mistake.
The Left are waging a war against the Scientific Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, the Age of Enlightenment and Western Civilisation itself and promoting a return to some form of feudalism.
