This weekend the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire held a second convention which was mostly for boring party “business” where people debated various changes to bylaws and such. However, besides an excellent lunch speech by talk show host Dan Fishman, the real highlight of the convention was the gubernatorial debate between Aaron Day and Jilletta Jarvis.
2018 is a historic year for the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire. Not only do we have full ballot access on par with the Republicans and Democrats, but we for the first time ever actually have TWO libertarians running in a contested primary for governor!
Here’s the full debate between the two candidates vying for the libertarian nomination this September at the primary:
I support their desire to reduce environmental damage caused by energy production. However, they were a bit uncommunicative. So, it is difficult for me to tell from these videos what they had in mind to help the environment while also enabling affordable energy to still be produced. (I would assume they still do want energy produced; I doubt any of them are willing to live as a forager in the woods. It’d be crazy to get rid of energy production, still want to use energy but not have a plan to resolve the conflicting goals… so I’ll assume they are… Read more »
It would be interesting to learn more about the waste. Of course, the N-word (no, the OTHER N-word) gets everyone all excited, along with the R-word, so there’s probably a lot of automatic political resistance. I, personally, prefer natural gas and hydrogen fuel cells as bridge technologies, to everything which is currently being done today. I’ll check out thorium.
At least we are willing to discuss this. Thanks

Water vapor is by far the most abundant greenhouse gas, and absorbs the most IR radiation. Use of hydrogen fuel cells will just replace one gas with a worse.
That’s odd. Water vapor is also known as clouds, which reflect sunlight back out.
Water vapor is also known as humidity, which you can’t see, and which retains IR-radiation. Relative-humidity occurs at all levels of the atmosphere. Only when it encounters particles, at the right temperature/pressure, does it condense into clouds.
IIRC the LFTR people say they still need to work on turbine design. They are also more interested in subsidies than finding a working business model. IDK if it’s just impossible to sell home-LFTRs due to regulations, or what, but they don’t seem serious enough to me. 🙁
Ass hat college students? or dingbat interns? Told to shut up by a handler? Sounds familiar, like the NH university gun demo/meetup that a professor crashed with his silent by threats students!
They’re strongly opinionated. Just ask their handlers for their opinion!
It’s really amazing how many luddites seem to think the camera will steal their soul, or something.
