My radio listeners joke that there are only a few dozen liberals in Idaho. The number is probably higher, but most are afraid to admit their preference publicly. Hemp skirts and electric cars, however, appear when an opportunity arises to join others in attracting media attention. That was the case a few days ago when 100 cereal munchers gathered in Boise at the State Capitol. The Sierra Club celebrates its soulmates. The organization is sponsored by Hollywood stars who live in 20,000-square-foot homes. The granny glasses clique promoted solar energy.

The Sierra Club author complains that some Idaho counties are blocking solar projects, as if we all need to see our landscape and bird habitat destroyed by green energy projects that benefit neighboring Democratic states.

First, if you want to put solar panels on your house and a windmill in your backyard, go ahead. I support your efforts to ensure a stable power supply when the grid goes down, and there are warnings that this will happen soon (due to Biden/Harris policies). But I don’t want to pay for your vanity. If you can afford the solar panels, you don’t need workers to pick up part of your bill.

That seems to be what those hacky sack players in hemp skirts were advocating. The government is paying for its freight through you. Get your damn hands out of my wallet!

They argue that subsidizing their latest prestige project will save the planet. They will impoverish you to fulfill their wish. This is fraud, and we need to end these programs and let the market take its natural course. If you want to show off new toys, then get a second job. If you even have one, other than leaving mom’s basement to bring out your empty stuff.
