    How is it fair to all the other countries that the US produces much more CO2 than they do?
    If you're pumping out twice as much CO2 as China, and they are making most of your stuff. Explain why you shouldn't be paying something towards cleaning up your own mess?

    It's almost as if I knew all that, and was pointing out that being a democracy doesn't seem to have stopped the US from being in a constant state of war. Plenty of other democracies were quite willing to tag along also.

  7. Like the US you mean?
    Wait, I'm being told they aren't a democracy but a Republic. Carry on...

  8. How is letting people who produce much less emissions than you do, produce a bit more, but still much less than you do "Giving them a free pass" ?
    Aren't you just trying to grandfather in your free pass, by saying those people shouldn't be allowed to emit as much as you yourself already do?

  9. Why? How many did you think there were?

    It’s worth noting that Now Playing is turned off by default. You have to explicitly turn it on in the setup flow when first starting your Pixel 2 or Pixel 2 XL, or in Settings (as shown above).

    "This is on my phone why?

    Because you installed it by mistake and are too silly to remove it?
    Because you needed something to complain about?

    Can you tell us? Why did you put it on your phone?

    Electric power plants in America comprise a relatively small number of facilities, but, their toxic emissions dwarf other industrial sectors. Whereas literally thousands of chemical plants and other industries reported toxic emissions to EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory in 2010, only a few hundred power plants reported mercury and hydrochloric acid emissions, and only 59 power plants reported selenium emissions. Yet, despite the relatively small number of facilities, electric utilities emit more arsenic, mercury, selenium, and hydrochloric acid than any other industrial sector, and the utility industry emits the second highest total emissions of chromium and nickel of all industry sectors.

    The electric power industry emits almost two-thirds of the nation's industrial arsenic emissions.

    Only 59 power plants representing the entire electric utility sector reported selenium emissions in 2010. Yet, the utility industry is still the top selenium emitter of all industry sectors, releasing 250,220 pounds, or 125 tons, of selenium into the nation’s air. That’s 76.3 percent of all industrial selenium emissions.

    Some states have seen major drops in reported emissions of dangerous heavy metals, while other states have made little progress to reduce these air toxics.

    From 2009 to 2010, power plant lead emissions actually increased in 16 states.

    Pennsylvania – by far the largest state in terms of power plant arsenic emissions – has actually increased its reported power plant arsenic emissions over the past decade, from 15,861 pounds reported in 2001, to 17,666 pounds of arsenic reported in 2010.

    Lucky it's only a few hundred...
