    Not defending nazi or his platform, but is it really a big deal if green energy source is inefficient?

      What green energy source??? There’s no green energy involved, and unnecessary contamination of a water source.

      They’re “natural gas” (Propane/methane) burning turbine generators, not wind turbines if that’s what you’re getting confused.

          I’ve always found the petroleum distillate “Mineral spirits” to be oddly named in the same way. Also, if you’re from the US, canola is rapeseed oil of a specific variety that they rebranded as a combination of “Canada” and “oil” because rapeseed didn’t sit well with customers. There’s a lot of power in what we call things.

            iirc the -la in canola stands for low acid, because non Canadian varieties at the time were not low acid

              Canada oil low acid does ring a bell. It’s been a bit since I’d read up on it.
