5. What a victory! Tremendous! 15% renewable 2023! In Arizona!
Where it doesn't rain that much! Where there are few foggy days! Few clouds! And where there is very little solar power now, even after 3 decades of Greenpeace statements about what they are going to do.

Now let's do some (gasp) math. 80% of the electricity comes from fossil fuels (mostly coal) and nuclear. 80% - 15% = ? Am I wrong or is this number 65%? I'd love to hear from our Greenpeace mathematicians if they've starting understanding addition and subtraction. Again, 80 minus 15 is?

Hey let's do some (gasp, gasp, gasp, gasp) multiplication:

We have: "Under the proposal, the new minimum would be 5 percent by 2015 and 15 percent by 2023, with at least 20 percent of the required power coming from solar." 0.15*0.20 = ?

And the answer is 0.03 or 3%. So what does this mean? More fucking dams I guess.

But where is Greenpeace going to come up with that 65%? Hey Phantom Power, are there a lot of poor Hispanics in Arizona, like say 65%? Maybe we can shut their lights off! They shouldn't ever be home watching TV anyway. They should get extra work, you know, busing tables at receptions for Ralph Nader, shit like that. You know, if they're working three jobs trying to feed their kids, and they have no time to go to Greenpeace meetings, they should go fuck themselves.

Or maybe we should look at the pants down Greenpeace real alternative: Coal.

The effects of global climate change aren't going to start in 2023, by the way, when Greenpeace will have made 30 years of empty promises into 50 years of empty promises. (Thank god they can actually make something...) The effects of global climate change are happening now.
