I don't agree with the original premise that renocat was not great. It was easily a top 5 sock OAT.

So why even try! Burn baby burn!
I think the fiscal in me doesn't like the waste of tax dollars that go to failed research. Where the realist in me knows that actual solutions will only come out of research. . .which will only happen with the proper funding.
If I knew that funding was going to people with a real shot at changing the energy game I'd support it 100%. . .I just do not trust the bureaucracy of the federal government to make those choices wisely and without bias.
@steve Dave
Couple of thoughts:I can definitely see your reasoning, but the last person to have HCing experience before landing the job at OU was Howard Schnellenberger. I think they are more concerned about not making the same mistake after Switzer left.
1. Hiring Lincoln Riley is a stupid, stupid move. He's inexperienced and a complete unknown commodity. Maybe he'll work out, maybe he won't. And that's the problem. OU is comfortably a top 10 coaching job, and they can afford to go out and hire someone with a proven track record. Make Chip Kelly an $8m/year offer. Hell, take a run at Dabo. OU can do that stuff. Instead, we're playing the "wait and see" game with a 33 year old first-year head coach who has had less time as a P5 coordinator than Ron Prince when K-State hired him.
You mean like promoting assistant coach Gary Gibbs? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oklahoma_Sooners_head_football_coaches
Gary Gibbs who never had a losing season and was fired and replaced by a .500 coach (Schnellenberger)? That mistake?
Blake was the mistake. Gibbs was fine.
Either way your post doesn't make any sense. If Gibbs was the mistake made after Switzer retired, then Riley looks like the same damn thing.
The real question is will you guys fire Riley after four or five sorta meh seasons and replace him with a washed up alcoholic who tanks the program then replace him with an incompetent buffoon? Only time will tell...
Gary Gibbs went 2-15-1 against the three best teams in the Big 8 in the 6 years he was at OU. That performance against teams that matter will get any coach fired from any program. If Lincoln Riley goes 2-7 against OSU, UT, and KSU his first three years his seat will be burning hot and it should be.

He means dedicated bus lane not open to other traffic
you wouldn't be able to drive in the same lane as the streetcar?
I don't think you're understanding. When clams says there "is no full-time bus lane", he's referring to a dedicated lane that only busses can use. It's not a very good point, but I would be fine giving busses/streetcar dedicated lanes on Main where there is space.
I pretty much only drive on main on Saturday/Sunday afternoons, so maybe it gets more congested than I think, but adding a streetcar seems like a pretty damn minor addition to the traffic
Pretty dirty trick, trump has no morels smdh
Okay there Cam. Let's just shut off the tap and turn it over to ultra inefficient "green energy" and watch the economy and standard of living collapse before our eyes.
All for the sake of an invisible gas that no warmest propagandist can accurately tell us (or ever hope to) what the best PPM of its presence is in our atmosphere.
Sadly, the credibility of warmest propagandist is shot when they try to lay everything at the feet of AGW.
Have of Dax posts are "weird post" and "something something meltdown" anymore.

dax, you get seriously pissed off about a pic you found on the internet and a story from your brother while totally ignoring satellite photos of disintegrating icecaps. that makes you look really dumb.

Obtaining and keeping temp records (particularly over a substantial geographic area) for the purposes of year - to - year comparisons is exclusively for the study of climate. The expansion and retraction of Ice Caps is clearly climate as well.
Weird little meltdown and digression.

By implication you are saying that this is the first time in all climate history that the ice caps have disintegrated. First off, thankfully the Ice Caps have "disintegrated" substantially over world history, or it's highly likely that neither you or I are here to even have this fantastic conversation.
Next, the problem that all warmist have is that they want to lay all supposedly extraordinary climate events (of which many if not all have been found to be with substantial precedence over climatic history) solely and exclusively at the feet of AGW, which is nonsense.
Last (and for example) two Sat Temp sets of data indicate that at best (or worst) 2016 was the warmest year since 1998 and it's highly unlikely to be the "Warmest Year Ever" (or since we actually started taking semi decent Temp readings and recording them in a semi decent fashion about 150 years ago aka a tiny fraction of Earth's climatic history). Not to mention the substantial and strong La Nina pattern which started around the Spring of 2016.
Anyone else notice how awesome it is we can say with absolute crystal certainty that the Ice Caps have disintegrated substantially over world history....yet average temperature readings can only be ascertained for approximately the last 150 years?
Pretty amazing if you ask me that we can know that Ice Caps existed and then disintegrated over the whole history of the planet yet the cause for said disintegration is apparently unknown since temperature data only exists for the past 150 years or so.
So we had actual real time temp readings and recording across the globe 200 years ago? Strange, I wonder why so many have said we've only kind of gotten that capability in the last, oh, 30 years or so, give or take.
Whereas Ice Caps left an undeniable geologic footprint that's visible with the naked eye.
