The Pennsylvania Democrat candidate for SenateBreitbart: Pennsylvania Lt. Gov.

Big Green leaves Germany short of winter heatNY Post: Europe’s wishful thinking in going green has landed it in hot water — or maybe cold water, since it’s now short on energy for heating. And that’s got Germany reversing course. Leaders there last week said they now plan to keep the country’s last three nuclear plants running, at least temporarily, to avoid having to divert natural gas for electricity. That pauses a years-long march away from nuclear power that’s backed by much of the German public (even though nuclear-energy production emits virtually no greenhouse gases). The government’s also looking to restart 16 moth... read more

If the effects in the real world change, like gravity, so does the perception of time. That does not make time a 'fourth' dimension outside stories. Yet a few theoretical physicists argue that because time does march on, it is like an arrow. This 'arrow of time' would move into the future, and to bolster their idea they invoke the second law of thermodynamics: the principle that microscopic arrangements of physical systems tend to increase in randomness, moving fro... read more
