Maybe the next one will stay up.
When I first came here, this was all swamp. Everyone said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built in all the same, just to show them. It sank into the swamp. So I built a second one. And that one sank into the swamp. So I built a third. That burned down, fell over, and then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. And that’s what you’re going to get, Son, the strongest castle in all of England.
Hey everyone, Windy's going to take all that spent fuel off your hands, says it's only minor.
What's your address Windy? Can we just dump it in Colorado and you will pick it up from there?
Wind/Solar have smilar issues.
There's your problem right there, not much wind or solar a thousand feet underground. Turn the paper around like this. The panels and windmils go up.
None of them are economists. They are biological/environmental scientists.
THis is about as stupid as reading the far right scream that AGW is not real, and few of those claiming it, have even a degree in Climate, and most are not even scientists.
Now, with that said, much of what they claim is factual. The environment is being heavily polluted all around. Worst yet, we have boneheads all over claiming that , while claiming (so foolish).
Which boneheads are claiming that "we must allow large portions of the population to pollute" Windy?
Who is also claiming "that a small portion drop to zero"?
Are you hinting at all the people pointing out that it's hypocritical to complain about people who are emitting only a fraction of what you do. Asking you to cut back a bit?
Seems a bit disingenuous doesn't it.
Then they go on to point out how little energy comes on the AE side. Basically, we CAN/SHOULD get energy from wind/solar/hydro/etc BUT, it can/should not be the main sources.
Why? Why shouldn't wind/solar/hydro etc be the main sources? Wouldn't that basically solve CO2?
Oddly, the one source that can be cheap, is nuclear power and yet, they ignore it.
Too cheap to meter! Wait right here, let me get my chequebook...
Without nuclear power, the globe IS in for SERIOUS trouble. We need to STOP ALL building out of new fossil fuel, esp. coal, plants. At its best, coal remains a disaster.
Don't you always tell us America is doing great and heading in the right direction because of all the natural gas it's burning? Isn't that the opposite of what you're calling for now?
Silly little boy, you do know what total energy mix means right? It includes everything, it's the total, not just electricity.
Doesn't explain why you lied 3 times in a row.
Are you going to even try to back up your lies with evidence?
Do you even read your own links? It's right near the top.
Six reactors have closed since 2013 and eight more reactors are planned for shutdown before 2025, mostly because of increased competition from cheap natural gas.
Very efficient Windy 3 lies in 3 lines. Is it a personal best?
Then we have China. In general, they cars are NEW, but more importanly, ppl are buying new cars, not just replacing them. So, China is going to add a bunch more, while the majority of their ICE vehicles remain on the road. Than we have the issue that their electricity is FILTHY. They still have 80+% coming from Coal. Worst yet, they have ZERO slack in their AE and continue to add more COal than AE. As such, all of their new electricity for charging EVs is going to come from coal.
Power from wind, solar and hydro plants is often wasted as there is not enough transmission capacity to absorb it, leading to high curtailment rates, especially in northwestern China.
Why are you claiming from below 15? You are above 15 Windy at 15.8 so stop lying.
More than twice China's level too, don't keep lying about that either.
America will very likely be below 10 before 2025, if not sooner
How? Following this data, even a continued linear trend extrapolated from the most favourable scenario of -0.35 per year would put the US at around 12 in 2025, with only falling under 10 in the 2030s.
Disregard the linear trend. That assumes that everything remains the same, which will NOT be the case.:
1) Nearly all of America's CO2 cuts has been caused by the killing of the coal plants and replacing with Nat Gas and Wind. That will likely continue in spite of Trump's push.
You idiot. you can't just say it's likely with no evidence whatsoever.
After declining by 0.9% in 2017, EIA forecasts that energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will rise by 2.0% in 2018. The increase largely reflects higher natural gas consumption because of a colder winter and warmer summer than in 2017.
2) Because of the massive focus that America has had on cutting CO2 from electricity, that has dropped as %, while Transportation % has risen. That does not mean that emissions from transportation has risen, just the % of our output has.
You liar, I've already showed you before that transport is increasing. Not just as a percentage, but the level of CO2 is increasing as can be easily seen on the graph. Last time I showed you the t of CO2. Why still lie about it now?
3) Over the next 3-6 years, the west and china will be moving heavily to EVs. In America, Commercial and passenger vehicles are all moving to these.
We have lots of new buses that are moving to EV with both BYD and Proterra. This is forcing other bus companies, even school buses to switch.
Tesla producing a Semi truck that does 600 MPC is going to put a LOT of pressure on ICE version of semis. Delivery starts in less than a year.
BYD is producing a Semi that gets less than 200 MPC, though lots of quality issues with.
THis is leading to multiple other companies producing EV semis, as well as new ones.In addition, we have Rivian about to introduce both a pick-up truck and a 3 row SUV in 2020(to be shown in Nov at LA show) with more to follow afterwards.
What does that mean? It means that by 2024, EVs will almost certainly occupy at least 1/2 of ALL road-based vehicle sales, if not more. The average passenger vehicle in America is around 11.5 years. Basically, ppl have been holding off on buying cars, which is why Ford decided to kill sedans here. Point is, come around 2020/1, lots of vehicles are going to be bought and I would guess that few will want an ICE. Ideally Rivian and Tesla will be able to convince most F1, F2, F3 buyers to switch.
Thanks for the link Windy. It does show the dirty 3 (USA Canada Australia) are far above Germany and even further above China.
OOPS, But it also points out your favourite lie is a lie doesn't it. "My nation" (I Assume you mean China here), peaked in 2014 and is clearly not "continuing to add massive amounts".
PS: I had to choose a country below 6 to show the impossibility. So you could fully understand the point Windy. Maybe you still failed to get it...
Are you basing than on your own lies and made up numbers from this post/lie of yours like last time?
Starting next year, the new tesla trucks will actually drop our CO2 by 2-5% EACH YEAR. That is how much of an impact that truck will make. Yes, 5000 new Tesla trucks EACH YEAR will reduce CO2 FURTHER than 500,000 new model 3s EACH YEAR.
If you're going to lie, why not lie big hey Windy?
Can you find anywhere credible that predicts America will drop to 10 per person by 2025?
Or just pulled from your ass again...
Germany went from 13.59 in 1970, down to 9.47 in 2016
America went from 21.74 in 1970, down to 15.56 in 2016
America went from being 1.60 times as bad as Germany in 1970, to being 1.64 times as bad as Germany in 2016.
So, no, there really has not been much of a difference, despite you constantly telling us that America is doing a good job and Germany is bad and using too much coal.
America is not only just as bad as before, but actually a little bit worse. Maybe in the next 46 years you will start to catch up even a little bit.
Germany and the whole of Europe are below 10 already fool...
Transport is still heading up idiot.
Your decreases are getting smaller, in fact 2018 is predicted to see an increase in America.
Then the one thing you cling to will be gone.
China is below 10. China has never been above 10, you were above 20 !!
India isn't even 1/2 that and is below 5 (below 2 and an 1/8 your level on recent numbers)
Can just as easily use China, but thats just more excuses for you to call me a Chinese troll when I'm not even Chinese.
Who is closer to #1? Who is fatter? America or anyone from Asia? America or Anyone from Europe?
As a % you did a little worse than Germany. But you had so much more fat to cut!!
Is someone paying to not understand this? It is easier for an extremely fat person to lose a kg compared to a normal person. There is just so much more fat to cut. You keep patting yourself on the back because you used to be morbidly obese, but not you are just extremely overweight.
You started from a much higher level idiot. Just because you hang around with a couple fat friends does not mean you are as healthy as a European, or as malnourished as an Asian.
Are you really surprised Asia, with multiple times as many people as America. Who had hundreds of millions of poor people unable to afford AC, are now starting to buy more AC as they become rich enough to do so? That should be obvious to anyone. What you probably don't realize is that most of those units will be more efficient than the old American ones. (Europe also has some relatively poorer places, it's not all climate causing the demand).
The fattest person lost more weight than the skinny person.
Pat yourself on the back Windy, except you are still the fattest.
It's easy to lose the most when you have the most to lose.
You dropped 6 per person. India can't drop 6 per person, because they only produce less than 2.
In Windyland, that makes an American cleaner than an Indian. Even though the American still produces as much as 8 Indians added together.
Are you sure ?
Total shipments of 8,398 units, up 384 units (+4.8%)
Net revenues at Euro 3,417 million, up 10.0% (+11.2% at constant currencies)
Adjusted EBITDA(1) of Euro 1,036 million, margin at 30.3% (29.8% without FX hedges(2))
Adjusted EBIT(1) of Euro 775 million, 230 bps margin increase to 22.7% (22.1% without FX hedges(2))

Of course it's possible. But unlikely if one of us isn't interested in reading whats written, and changes the topic randomly to suite his talking points.
Maybe it wasn't very clear what I wrote.
It might be sooner for her to get out after serving the 3 years in jail, than to wait until Trump has a successor, as that may be even longer than the 3 years (he might win again if Democrats can't pull their heads out of their arses).

And the byproducts are minor to take care of.

Renewables and nuclear were 30%So lie number 1.
There is a lot of slack in China's AE. So lie number 2.
Power from wind, solar and hydro plants is often wasted as there is not enough transmission capacity to absorb it, leading to high curtailment rates, especially in northwestern China.
AE was higher than thermal And for thermal, gas was higher than coal anyway. Lie number 3.
Of course, when you base your conclusion on 3 lies, the conclusion will also be wrong.
China's % of electricity from coal is decreasing
Why are you claiming from below 15? You are above 15 Windy at 15.8 so stop lying.
More than twice China's level too, don't keep lying about that either.
Well trump did increase your coal exports 61% in 2017, reduce your emission standards for power plants, reduce your MPG standards for cars.
America will very likely be below 10 before 2025, if not sooner

tiny and not growing

So many things right and wrong here. No, we DO consume more energy than many other nations, but Europe is actually a lot closer than most ppl realize.
No it isn't.
The fact is, that Europe HAD one of the best living conditions. Now, with AGW, they will have to deal with temp extremes similar to ours. That will mean that they will be installing lots more AC, which is already the case. North America is relatively flat, while Europe has started to increase for the last couple of years, and for decades, China and south east Asia has WAY outsold America for ACs. In fact, looking at it, Europes residential demand for AC is bigger than North Americas (not surprising). It is in the commercial that it is not the case.
Are you really surprised Asia, with multiple times as many people as America. Who had hundreds of millions of poor people unable to afford AC, are now starting to buy more AC as they become rich enough to do so? That should be obvious to anyone. What you probably don't realize is that most of those units will be more efficient than the old American ones. (Europe also has some relatively poorer places, it's not all climate causing the demand).
Stop reading the headlines and thinking you know what you are talking about Windy. You keep tripping over your own feet.
You just said
Germany was 9.47 in 2016
America was 15.56 in 2016
How many more years until you get down to where Germany is now dropping .6 of a % ? (decades? another 50 years?)
Why do you claim thats meaningful?
The fattest person lost more weight than the skinny person.
Pat yourself on the back Windy, except you are still the fattest.
It's easy to lose the most when you have the most to lose.
You dropped 6 per person. India can't drop 6 per person, because they only produce less than 2.
In Windyland, that makes an American cleaner than an Indian. Even though the American still produces as much as 8 Indians added together.
The automotive industry is all about MASSIVE volume (millions of cars a year, not 10
Your premise is wrong. There are different types of car companies.
The automotive industry is all about MASSIVE volume (millions of cars a year, not 100,000)
Who cares what Tesla wanted to do. You premise is incorrect.
