I went to a Beto rally and thought he was a tool. He reeks of saying anything to get elected, and the over-the-top enthusiasm his volunteers had was off-putting. I like Allred and have been telling my under-informed friends about him.

Thanks, this is the first explanation that's actually clicked for me.

You have no idea how much skinny guys hear this haha. I'm sure you mean well by it but at the end of the day you're making light of what is a struggle for a lot of people.

With that being said, if the financials are there then yeah OP should be building some muscle. I personally needed to be on 3000 calories a day to gain any weight at all. But I swear gaining 20 pounds (8 or 9 kgs) turned my dating life around unbelievably fast.

That's just not how sustainable charity or development works, especially when it comes to things like building wells. There are existing charities that can do more than he does with the money he spends and have sustainable methods of doing so. Maybe some of them aren't great, but if he actually wanted to address those issues he could set up a foundation with people who know how to do that work.

I think this is an unfair article, and it reads like someone who's obsessed with right-wing talking points substituting their political allies and enemies with Texas and California.

The real relevant section is the one right before you posted the chart. Texas is bringing people building data centers, Bitcoin mines, and has a high demand for air conditioning, therefore it has a massive power demand that California doesn't have. It's unreasonable to expect Texas to compete with California on a metric of Clean GWh per Total GWh when California has less than half the power demand. The fossil fuels infrastructure is already established so of course it is going to be relied on in a place like Texas to support their ventures into data centers etc.

I think a better perspective is to notice how, despite a reliance on free-market forces (and as another commenter mentioned, a relationship between politicians and oil companies) Texas' clean energy scene has grown to be the biggest in the country. It clearly indicates that there is an apolitical nature to the inevitability of clean energy. Anyway I prefer that conversation to getting swept up in whatever Matt Walsh has to say.

So I am uninterested in them, but we are disinterested in each other? Do I have that more or less right?

Are you sure you don't mean conservatism and progressivism?
