My dad was on the Los Angeles skimmer CA 135, I wanted to get on the Los Angeles just to follow my dad would have been pretty cool, but no. Everyone from the time knew that about Carter. We were third of the class, but got more than our share of ribbons. Not like now, My daughter had a bunch of medals serving on the USS Ronald Reagan. I scored high enough that they offered me nuke school, but opted for electronics.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
