You and Kylie should hang out...........apparently you all think alike when it comes to the environment.

Kylie Jenner and Tyga Have No Regard For the Law or Environment

As you might have heard, California is in a kind of permanent drought and counties across the state are trying to reduce their water usage. Yet celebrities seem deeply uninterested in environmental maintenance or following the laws of common people, and more interested in maintaining their lush lawns. Among those law breakers? Kylie Jenner and Tyga. The Hollywood Reporter tracked down the law-breakers through public records:

Kylie Jenner, who lives in a $2.7 million, 5,000-square-foot Mediterranean mansion in Calabasas’ guard-gated Oaks enclave, as well as her hip-hop paramour Tyga (aka Michael Stevenson), who rents a $10.2 million, 12,000-square-foot Tuscan nouveau villa a few blocks away.

Residents are allowed only 15-minute outdoor water use two days a week, with no runoff ending up in the street or on adjacent properties. Nearly 70 percent of the water utilized in the area, known for its manicured lawns and sprawling estates, is used outdoors. (By comparison, the average daily gallon usage in June in the more urban City of Santa Monica was less than half the per-person consumption level of that within [Tyga and Jenner’s district].

Other celebrities caught include David Hasselhoff, Dr. Dre, and Denise Richards. [ The Hollywood Reporter]

>> Of course I can............windmills and solar panels mean cleaner air. Why would any sane person not want cleaner air?

Cleaner air is great; but I don't want it at the expense of some people not being able to pay their electricity bills. Why would any sane person want poor people to be without electricity?


Huh? Straw man?


These so-called "renewables" cannot be relied upon to produce electricity on a consistent basis which means you still have to have other facilities. They are far too expensive (some of us remember Obama promising skyrocketing utility bills).


Yes, that's been true from the get-go. Why does that make renewables more expensive?


These so-called renewables come with environmental problems of their own. And most importantly, there is no evidence to suggest they have ANYTHING AT ALL to do with your weather.


Like what problems?

So, you may think it is cool to rely on windmills and solar panels but you're cutting off access to electricity to people who need it and creating more environmental problems you don't know anything about and creating inherent weak links in the process. All for nothing other than being the cool people on the block.

Huh? You are making no sense.

And btw the 'cool' people......the Jenners........think just like you do.

We call that stupid.

And I call this post of yours stupid.
