Bigoted Antis Label Hydrogen from PA NatGas as “Bad” and “Dirty”

When the Bidenistas announced a $750 million “investment” of taxpayer money would flow to the Philadelphia region (actually Delaware and New Jersey, and a little bit of Philly) for a “green” hydrogen hub, wackadoodle antis pitched a fit (see Mouthy Delaware Riverkeeper Disrupts PA Gov. at Hydrogen Rally).

Mouthy Delaware Riverkeeper Disrupts PA Gov. at Hydrogen Rally

Global Warming Fanaticism Now Infecting the Fine Art World

This one has us laughing our considerably fat rear-ends off. The left long ago corrupted science, turning it from the pursuit of objective facts into forced obedience to political opinions (i.e., global warming is caused by fossil fuels).
