Who’s “Cleaning” Our Voter Rolls? Soros Funded ERIC Is Now Used In 31 States

Been hearing a lot about ERIC on NPR lately. While they have been reporting a lot about conservative push back about ERIC, there hasn't been a lot of reporting on conservative concerns about it.

Not sure if they are legitimate concerns - seems like encouraging potential voters to register is a good thing, but their views are worth hearing. Plus it seems like they should be checking for duplicate voter registrations when people move out of state and if people are voting in multiple states.

But I also could see why conservatives might not like the system - a lot of emphasis is encouraging people to register to vote, with other purposes worthwhile but secondary. And it's been strongly pushed by liberal funders. But it seems like it's not a bad idea to keep voter rolls tidy and have a tool to investigate fraud the rare times it happens. 

Natural gas still is the most environmentally friendly way of making electricity 🏭

Natural gas still is the most environmentally friendly way of making electricity 🏭

I have long been a proponent of natural gas. I think when you holistically at impacts of natural gas, from the drilling and fracking of the wells, to the pipes and compressor stations, to the burning at the power plant, per unit of electricity generated, it really has one of the best environmental records. It’s not to say that producing electricity with gas doesn’t have it’s issues — it produces carbon dioxide, pipes leak methane and sometimes gas wells cause pollution — but on the kilowatt-by-killowatt basis it’s environmental record remains one of the best in the electricity generating industry.
