Very true!

It's about the same as last year. The Great White North (white refers to snow) produces a bunch of things that the Lush Green South does not.

During my college years, running out of ice was never a worry. :)

Of course, the vice versa is also true. That's one of the great things about our country. We can roam about to find those things that please us.

I was born in Minnesota and will probably die in the Florida area- hopefully not due to a hurricane inflicted injury.

I hear Minnesota is getting another round of snow this weekend. Stay safe!

I'll go to Florida with you! My husband is resisting leaving NH, which isn't as cold and snowy as you are, but still sucks ass!!

I've been moving (generally) south since about 1982. I've made it to Indianapolis so far. This is a vast improvement, to me, over Duluth Minnesota where I grew up.

I plan to complete the world's slowest house flip soon and sell the house and move south in Spring time next year.

Among my many vague plans, avoiding getting shot by your husband ranks high. That said, perhaps we can ALL have a cup of coffee on the Gulf Coast near Tampa Bay. :)

My husband would never shoot anyone. Except if you told him that Mark Messier sucked and Sidney Crosby is the bomb.:mrgreen:

Sweden has three operational nuclear power plants, which produce about 40% of the country's electricity. More electricity is produced per capita by nuclear reactors in Sweden that any other country in the world.

The Sweden Democrats and Liberal Party are in favor of expanding Sweden’s nuclear power to combat climate change. The Conservative Party and Christians Democrats are in favor of keeping nuclear power and the Social Democrats want to phase it out. If nuclear power plants era faced out Sweden would be heavily dependent on fossil fuels. In 2016 the Sweden government decided to build up to 10 new reactors in the coming years to replace old reactors which will been phased out.

Nuclear power plants emits zero greenhouse gas, and operate 24 hours, seven day a week without stopping for refuel. Nuclear energy is the safes and cleanest than other forms of power generation. Nuclear energy generate about 20% of U.S. electricity, making it the largest source of clean energy in the country. Beside, nuclear technology powers deep-space exploration.

The risk of accidents in nuclear power plants is low, as demonstrated by evidence over the last 60 years of commercial nuclear power operation in 33 countries.

Nuclear Fusion Power (Nuclear Fusion : WNA - World Nuclear Association)

Fusion is the process by which the sun and other stars generate light and heat. There have also been significant developments in research into inertial fusion energy (IFE). Construction of the $7 billion National Ignition Facility (NIF) at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), funded by the National Nuclear Security Administration, was completed in March 2009.

Unlike current nuclear power plants that creates a large amount of toxic nuclear wastes, a fusion-powered plant practically create almost none. According MIT scientists nuclear fusion is on the brink of being realized. Fusion power will be commercially available on the grid within 15 years.

In March 30, 1961, Ronald Reagan said that: “Before his visit to this country, Nikita Khrushchev said, we can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism until one day they will awaken to find they have communism.”

Ezra Taft Benson, Secretary of Agriculture under President Eisenhower, said that Khrushchev, when he visited the U.S., made the following statement during a one-on-one discussion the two had in September 1959: “You Americans are so gullible. No you won’t accept Communism outright, but we’ll keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you’ll finally wake up and you find you already have Communism. We won’t have to fight you. We’ll so weaken your economy until you fall like over-ripe fruit into our hands.”

Now the doses have been increased. Socialism is the road well-traveled to Communism. Communism does not work anywhere, history have proved it.

In reality the Progressives are actually Regressives. They defend the “rights” of illegal immigrants over the safety of American citizens; use intimidation and mob violence, screaming insults and obscenities. They want to erase the past, pulling down statues of Confederate officers and crusading to change the names of towns, buildings and streets.

Karl Marx: “The easiest way to kill capitalism is by taxes, taxes and more taxes."
