QOTD: "Obama chafes at ... even-handed analyses. He dismisses them as "false equivalence" because the president won't be happy until every news story casts him as the hero and Republicans as the villains.

In politics and in everyday life, rarely are both sides equally wrong, which is why journalists shouldn't draw false equivalence. [WaPo liberal writer Dan] Balz is an example of how to measure blame fairly, not necessarily equally.

Rarer still is one side 100 percent right, which is why Obama is guilty of false purity. Obama's intellectual dishonesty has prevented him from learning on the job, which is what's required of great presidents—the kind who overcome obstacles that others whine about." --Ron Fournier, National Journal

That link on wind farms leading to blackouts is behind the times. Here in California is happens often when the wind or sunshine suddenly fails to deliver the juice.

When that happens, the state starts "demand management programs" that reduce air conditioning, turns off water coolers, etc, etc.

When you put a wind farm on line, you need to put a gas turbine on line too so that when the wind stops, the turbine starts.
