The US exports coal to 42 countries of which India imports the most followed by South Korea, The Netherlands, japan, and lastly Brazil. The approximately 47% of US coal exports go to those countries. Also the US is no longer allowing any new coal plants to be built.
Actually this isn't a troll, it has been mentioned in the news several times that the US has been slowly reducing it's emissions even without the Paris accords. If you take the time and look up the information which isn't hard to find, for example from the EIA (Energy Information Admin) you can see where the US is doing a much better job than any country in Europe except for Germany. The US has shown a steady decline since 2007. The obvious two trouble making countries are China and India but it's more fun to keep blaming the US for well everything. Even though I'm on the conservative end of the Democrat party being a Blue Dog, I still don't understand the need to attack the US for everything that's wrong with the world. The US isn't forcing China to build a crap ton of coal plants or having India allow sewage draining directly in the Ganges river not too mention the dead bodies that float down that river while people take a bath in the sacred river. People complain about the big evil SUVs and Trucks in the US but it's amazing what people think when the weather changes. On my recent trip to Ohio from Kansas, I pulled no less than 5 cars out of the ditch due to snow using my evil Silverado 2500 HD. When I spoke to the Police that were on site for some of them, they told me that these people would have waited hours to get pulled out if it wasn't for people like me. One car had a family with small kids in it and no one had stop by in hour to help them out they were located in the Flint Hills. The US is no where bad as even our own citizen's like to make it seem. Sadly....
Could these coal plants be converted to natural gas like the US has been doing? Its cleaner and reduces CO2. Obviously its not perfect but natural gas is much cleaner and has helped the US reduce its CO2 emissions. From what i've read, not sure if its factual but its claimed that the US has steadily reducing its CO2 output by just converting to natural gas. Just wondering???
What policies were similar outside of putting the japanse in camps? We never killed off the needy or handicapped, never had mass gas chambers for killing minorities like mentioned Japanese. You are obviously making stuff up.
Would you please either stop the copy paste job or go post this on reddit and stay there? We all get it, Hillary didn't win and little Alice can't handle it. Plus I'm guessing your parents never told you that your opinion doesn't matter much. The president isn't going anywhere and he won the election because Hillary was so arrogant that she skipped states assuming that she would win them. I'm tired of my extremist party members that can't let go and move on.
Far too many of my fellow Democrats seem to have come down with TDS lately. The reality is that Pelosi and Schumer did nothing but block everything while the President at least tried to negotiate with them. Now the situation we have is the government is temporarily open until Feb. 15th. where it might get shut down again because of Pelosi and Schumer's hated of Trump. 2008, Pelosi stated she wanted a wall, 2009 Schumer did the same, and of course in 2014 Hillary stated that she wanted to build a wall while on the campaign trail. With a budget of 4.whatever trillion dollars, 5.7 billion is a burp and we need to improve security on the southern border. Anyone saying otherwise is just plan ignorant, a liar, or both. Constantly posting the same anti trump rhetoric has become meaningless on slashdot. You keep doing a copy paste job with zero insight. Trump will not be impeached snd Pelosi has said as much. Rodger Stone is being charged with lying to Congress and has no connection to trump beyond that no matter how much you wish.
Does anyone here do a little research before making ignorant claims? Kavanaugh has been under investigation for every government position his has held. In all of his previous work, the whole "rape" claim never came up until he was nominated for the SC. He has turned over more documentation then "ALL" previous SC candidates combined.
What genius thinks this selfish opinion is somehow informative? Great so you don't want to have kids and that makes you somehow more impressive than those of us who do? We need to continue to produce children just to maintain society and support those folks like you when you get older. What are you doing about the children needing to be adopted or fostered? Did that thought ever cross your mind that you can still help out? And before you go there, I adopted three boys who father had died plus I have two of my own and I'm also a foster parent to a 1 year boy that has health issues.
Trump never at any point said Mexico was going to cut a check to pay for the wall. What he meant is that because of the trade agreements, Mexico will pay for it one way or another. Why can't my fellow democrats do a little research??
Unless my fellow democrats can come up with a better candidate than that total nut job Cortez or the fake native American, President Trump will win another term in office. As it stands right now, we simply don't have a viable candidate to oppose the President.
no what they said was true. Point of fact, before Trump got into office, 2008 Pelosi wanted to build a wall, 2009 Schumer wanted to build a wall and 2014 even Hillary on the campaign trail stated that she wanted a wall. The democrats hate trump which is why they are playing this game.
Seriously, have you bothered to read the actually sampling data for those polls? They "ALL" have more democrats and independents than republicans responding to their polls. you can't trust any of them. BTW, before you go there, I'm a democrat.
When the measurements are generally incorrect according to scientists and need to be adjusted then the data can't be trusted. The data needs to speak for itself and if there are errors in the measurements then the equipment needs to be repaired. At no time, should anyone need to change the data, doing so completely negates the whole point of gathering factual evidence. It's like all the polls which show a certain outcome and then you look at the sampling data and find out that a majority of the people polled lean one particular way so you never gather equal data from all views. Lastly there is nothing wrong with questioning scientists who in some cases have an agenda of their own. As a child, I would get very sick and I always asked my doctor questions because even at age 7 I wanted to know how something would effect my, be it medicine or an injection, or otherwise. If you don't have people going around questioning everything then you don't have the whole point of scientific research. Sometimes while you think the data says one thing, you come to find out years later that you were wrong. As a highly educated person, I'm offended that you think that I have some kind of mental illness because I will question anyone and everyone to understand how they reach their conclusions. History has shown us that just because you are a brilliant scientist doesn't mean your conclusions are always correct.
I'm only 50 so I'm not that old and while I'm a democrat I simply don't by into man-made climate change is to blame for everything. Call me some ignorant insult all you want but the facts are that we still with all our technology simply don't fully understand how the climate cycles work on this planet let alone fully understand the impact of the sun. Furthermore when BS is claimed like 97% of climate scientists all agree when that has been proven wrong so many times it's silly. I grew up in Ohio and lived here during the all the snow fall during the 70s and 80s and then things began to taper off but now we are getting tons of snow again. My neighborhood looks like it did during the beginnings of the blizzard of 77/78 and that hasn't happened in a long time. I fully agree in climate change but man-made has very little impact and all the BS end of the world claims keep falling by the wayside. The reality is that we still don't have the computer processing power to handle all of the climate variables nor can we reproduce past weather history without some BS data manipulation. There is no need to change any of the data we get and time and again the data has to be manipulated for one reason or another, don't include this or that past weather events. Let the weather speak for it's self and stop attaching man-made climate change to every little event in the world. Then maybe more people will agree. Lastly this poll is all web based and easily faked.
The DACA program was done by executive order from Obama. It was never passed as true legislation. What Trump did was correct because the whole situation should have been openly discussed in both houses and then create bill which i believe Trump said he would sign.
The thing is that in 2008, Pelosi stated that she was for a wall. As did Schumer in 2009 and of course Hillary said it while on the campaign trail in 2014. These are facts that can be verified so why suddenly are Democrat leaders against what they claimed they were for? Btw, I'm a Democrat.

And how much of an impact do these little ovens have compared to real coal plants???

I say this on behalf of several people when i say "huh?"
Is the APK host file app thingy compatible with solar panels too?

no they aren't, in fact there you are starting to see democrat congress members asking Pelosi to negotiate with the President.
Seriously, have you bothered to read the actually sampling data for those polls? They "ALL" have more democrats and independents than republicans responding to their polls. you can't trust any of them. BTW, before you go there, I'm a democrat.
That's false and you know it, the total cost is approximately $25 billion, this has been stated many times.
Then minute your start insulting people is the moment people will ignore you and move on.

Did you honestly think the Republicans would bring those bills to the floor for a vote?
And taxes
I bet you are fun at parties.
