That Keystone decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court.
hahahahahahahahahahahahah
If some liberal federal judge in Montana can stop a pipeline, and another liberal federal judge in Hawaii could stop (temporarily) Trump's immigration ban, and it just happpens, then why can't a conservative judge simply say that all opposition and obstruction to building the Wall must cease and desist immediately, and order that the Wall must be built in one year?
Trumpers pulling for RBG's demise is so....Trumpian.
Pulling for her demise? No.
Hoping she decides to focus on healing from her painful injury, and spend her last years with her great grandchildren in retirement? Yes.

A floating wind turbine built off Fukushima Prefecture to symbolize recovery efforts after the 2011 nuclear disaster will be removed, a government source has said.
The offshore power facility was put in place at the Fukushima Prefectural Government introduced renewable energy after the triple-reactor meltdown at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in the days following the massive March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.
Experimental studies were conducted with a view toward commercialization but the turbine, one of the world’s largest with a rotor diameter of 167 meters, was deemed unprofitable due to multiple malfunctions decreasing the utilization rate.
...The turbine is one of three on a floating wind farm 20 km off the coast of Naraha.
The price tag to remove the ¥15.2 billion ($134,481,133) turbine, which has an output capacity of 7,000 kilowatts, is expected to be around 10 percent of the building cost.
Studies on the two other turbines are due to conclude in fiscal 2018, but the study period is expected to be extended to seek any possibility of commercialization.
The turbine started operating in December 2015 but was riddled with problems.
Its utilization rate over the year through June 2018 was 3.7 percent, well below the 30 percent necessary for commercialization.
The two other turbines, of different sizes, have utilization rates of 32.9 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively.

Nukes: Still dangerous and bad.
Wind: Only feasible in places like midwestern prairies.
Solar: Only feasible in places like Arizona.
Oil, coal and natural gas: Good
In other news, the Democrats have finished their recount of the 1972 presidential election. Turns out McGovern actually beat Nixon.

UK Renewable Energy Capacity Surpasses Fossil Fuels for the First Time
https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... first-time
The capacity of renewable energy has overtaken that of fossil fuels in the UK for the first time, in a milestone that experts said would have been unthinkable a few years ago. In the past five years, the amount of renewable capacity has tripled while fossil fuels’ has fallen by one-third, as power stations reached the end of their life or became uneconomic. The result is that between July and September, the capacity of wind, solar, biomass and hydropower reached 41.9 gigawatts, exceeding the 41.2GW capacity of coal, gas and oil-fired power plants.
