To be a Republican these days, one must simultaneously oppose

is that except for taxes and healthcare, not one of those bedrock
Republican principles stretches farther back than the Reagan
administration. Not only are most of these points younger than most
Republican voters (judging by recent polls, also younger than most
of their kids) but more than half, for example the unprovoked wars
and government surveillance stuff, would make William F. Buckley or
Barry Goldwater spin so fast that their graves could change the
rotation of the Earth.

Do I have that right?

Not at all. I personally am against abortion in most cases, but in
general do not agree with what Homeland Security has implemented. I
disagree with most of the global warming zealots. Not that it may be
happening, but with their close minded view of the causes and the
cures. The methane produced by grass eating animals is probably also
a major factor, but you don't see them trying to close the pork farms
or the cattle feed lots. :)

Plenty of concern and ideas about methane.

The whole wind and solar power movement
seems to ignore the fact that we have no way today to store that
energy.

No such thing happening.

That means that we still have to have enough generating
capacity to fill all of our needs and a lot of that has to be online
and running all the time.

The key is that not all wind and solar capability is in the same place.
If it were, it would all slow down at the same time, but it's not.
