  1. Re:Normal human translation on Clinton Promises 500 Million New Solar Panels · · Score: 2

    If something is making enough profits to break even (or better), it shouldn't be getting subsidies at all.

    If you think Obama is a socialist, you don't understand the meaning of the word. The U.S.A. is as capitalist as ever, the poor be damned.

    As I said in my post, I don't live in the U.S.A. Apart from that solar panel thing, all I know is that she's the wife of former president Bill Clinton.

    Bet you didn't know that Exxon also sells solar stuff.

    If Exxon is a purely an energy company and not just an oil company, it makes sense for them to try to plan ahead. Very "soon" it won't be profitable to search/drill/pump/transport oil anymore. For all we know, Exxon could be the best energy company decades in the future. It still won't remove all the pollution they made though.

    By the way, where are these panels being made?

    Probably "Made in China".

    That will cost a minimum of 75 million dollars.

    The same could be said for the oil and gas industries. With billions in pure profits, why the fuck are they still getting subsidies and tax breaks?

  7. Re:How big is a "solar panel"? on Clinton Promises 500 Million New Solar Panels · · Score: 3, Funny

    The best way to maximize solar panel efficiency is to put them into orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    I hate that saying though... what did those poor little birds do to you?!

    Her plan would cost roughly $60 billion over 10 years, and she intends to pay for it by cutting tax breaks to the oil and gas industry.

    She wants to cut tax breaks to industries that are making billions in profit to help make her country less dependant on limited ressources.

    She'd have my vote except for the fact that I don't live in the U.S.A.

    Apple and Google are having trouble even getting people to adopt Apple Pay and Google Wallet...

    Because in most developed countries, people have been using either debit cards or PayPass-enabled credit cards for years. We don't see the point in Apple Pay/Google Wallet.

    It's called karma.

    The way I understand it, when you get mostly up-modded your karma goes up and you get an automatic +1, on top of the regular +1. Look around, I'm not the only one who posts at "Score: 2" by default either.

    If you're an asshole/idiot/troll/etc, your posts get down-modded, your karma goes down and you first lose the extra +1, then the regular +1, then you go down to posting at -1 by default (I think?).

    I suppose some people don't like my automatic +2 score, others are following everything I post and are still angry for things I said in other threads and down-vote unrelated things I say in newer threads. There's idiots everywhere, including Slashdot.
