Notice how your post and the parent post are modded 'Troll', even though they are reasonable? That's the mentality we're dealing with here. I expect mine will also be modded down.
Is this post like that joke letter of recommendation where you're supposed to read every second line? Except in this case you're supposed to only read the last sentence?
I think they should build windmills and solar power ray things in the same location so that when the birds fly into the blades and fall out of the sky they can be cooked on the way down and hey, free fried food.
"...aerospace engineers are paid a median annual salary of $9,773 in India, and almost eight times more — $75,940 — in the United States."
I would have guessed that $75K figure would be higher.
At many (not software or computer hardware) engineering discussion boards you'll see technical questions coming in that seem to have easy or obvious answers. They are often from overseas engineers or tech people who are unfamiliar with rules of thumb or common methods/processes or have trouble with terminology/English language. It's not because of a lack of competence.

"We can tax income, or we can tax carbon emissions."
How much you wanna bet we end up with both, plus a value-added tax on top just for good measure?
CO2 is at what now, 400 PPM?
Luser: "OK, which cable goes where?"
This one goes in your mouth, and this other one goes in your rectum.
No, wait...
What if the disaster is that Facebook is down?
How do you know when you've finished calculating externalized costs?
It's free 'cause government pays for it!
Has the inanimate carbon rod ever won anything?
Damn the science, this is a headline/PR war!
Even the content of IPCC documents differ from the policymakers' summaries.
Subsidies like "externalities"?
"If any factory submitted bulbs lasting longer or shorter than the regulated life span for its type, the factory was obliged to pay a fine."
Perhaps I should have written 'skills' or 'capabilities'.
