first off, that is total BS.
Trump had to have been told that even if coal came back (it will not), that it will NOT bring back jobs. As such, trump and the GOP KNEW they were lying about jobs.
And I will guess that you know that he was lying as well. After all, coal's death has NOT been due to regulations like you neo-con/tea-baggers claim, but it is one of economics. Nat gas has been cheaper than coal since 2010. MUCH CHEAPER. And it is expected to remain that way, unless trump allows massive exports of LNG, which appears to be the case. Still, wind is much cheaper than coal, and solar is touching below coal. Wind will be cheaper than nat gas within 2 years, while solar will be much cheaper than coal within 2 years.
All of this could be seen back in the election. So, no, it was NOT about jobs. It was simply about massive numbers of lies from the GOP.
With the next couple of years, we will see the transportation sector drop in emissions, a great deal.
Tesla is forcing 1 major car maker to switch (BMW), and the others will be forced to follow suit in about 2-3 years. However, by 2020, about 1/3 to 1/2 of new cars in America will likely be EVs. In addition, car sales in America will have dropped a great deal simply because nobody paying above $25K will want to buy an ICE, while those below 25K, will simply buy the one time expensive now used ICE cars that will be going for less than 10K for a 2-4 year old car.
Add to that the fact that Burlington Northern is in the process of switching ALL of their engines to nat gas, which they will have done in less than 5 years, will drop 5-6% of America's diesel use. Yup. Diesel useage is already going down, and will go down by about 1% a year. Then as the electric semis jump in from Tesla, that will by 2024, bring diesel down 1-5% a year, depending on how good tesla does.
well, first off, hindi is actually spoken by a majority.
My in-laws are from Tamil Nadu and Kerala; My F-I-L speaks Tamil, some hindi and of course, English.
My m-i-l spoke Malayalam, and English. Now she also speaks Tamil.
Obviously the common language between them was English.
While some of my other Indian friends blast the english, these 2 speak of the fact that the English at least established a unified language, though these days, the gov wants hindi to be the official language.
no, I am VERY aware.
Bruno cut the old upper management and now has brought in his cronies and pays them MORE. So, to pay for that, he is cutting engineers at a frightening rate.
Those engineers are needed for ACE and other launch vehicles. In particular, capturing the engines from vulcan and then rebuilding a new rocket is just looney tunes.
As to the safety record of Atlas V vs F9, that is true. The Atlas V has had 1 partial failure. The F9 has 1 partial and 1 failed launch, which is 1 more than Atlas. They DID have an explosion on the pad, but that was not during a launch. The fact that the payload was on there, was the fault of the customers, who INSISTED that it be there. As to delays, not a big deal. RIght now,they appear to be launching at the rate of 1.5-2 / month. In addition, it appears that they will be launching 3 / month towards the end of this year. OTOH, ULA has never launched more than 1 / month, and less than 11 / year. Not that impressive.
Seriously, Bruno continues to run ula like another MBA running Sears. Not a brain in him. He brings in more management while laying off engineers. Sad.
other than the fact that an investment into space and the tech comes around 10 fold?
Claiming that there is no reason to invest in space, would like somebody in 1991 saying that America should not invest into the internet and just let it go.
no, this is just part of the proof that car makers do not want EVs. Dealers do not want them. Car makers do not want them. And building an adapter to tesla does NOT harm their efforts on their own standards, any more than tesla building a chadmoe and j17772 hurt their standards.
In fact, because tesla DID build those, it was possible to buy a tesla and have full access to chargers all over so that you can move around the nation easily. OTOH, NO other EV has that claim . The bolt is the first none tesla that can drive all over.
Musk has said MANY times that he is fine with others using tesla network. Of course, he expects them to pay.Only an idiot would think that Musk is going to give that away. BUT, Musk wanted others to jump on this and help extend it. In fact, at one time, he said that he was in discussions with a European company on just this.
all charging standards have a digital handing that is allowed. With tesla, you must send information about your vehicle and it is vetted before it is allowed. Any adapaters that the other car maker does for their vehicle would have to provide same information and would have to provide for payment fo electrcity, in a fashion similar to what all new tesla do.
tesla will be happy to allow other car makers to create adapters to theirs. They have said so many a times. None of them go for it because they are simply not interested in making EVs.
Uh no. Tesla is nothing like Comcast. They never developed a thing, but bought up others. Tesla is the Ford or Boeing of this century. Innovative and about to destroy other markets.
Except that Tesla was out with their standard LONG before the others. In addition, the fact that none of the other car makers are building an adapter to Tesla network really says what their goals are, which is to continue to push ICE.
A huge issue u missed is the number of cells. Other car makers use small numbers of much larger cells. Tesla is only one with massive number of cells and excellent HVAC on them.
As such Tesla can pour into each cell at faster rate without the high temps that degrade those large cells.
It would make no sense to do so. None of the established car makers want to do EVs. They will only jump on this once ice sales plummet, and they see Tesla at over 1 million cars / year. IOW, in about 2 years it will make sense.
yes, but their are several issues with 'carbon taxes'.
1) we really need to apply it to GOODS/Service based on where the worst part/service comes from. This way, it involves ALL nations.
2) we need a standard approach to measuring CO2. The ideal way is to use Japan's new CO2 sat, along with OCO-3, that trump just grounded. With these 2, we can get absolute numbers and can see CO2 moving IN and OUT of an area.
3) need a better form of normalization. Considering that ppl in general do NOT make the choies on emissions, then this should be tied to emissions / $GDP. That way, businesses and govs will work together in their local area to drop their emissions. Otherwise, as taxes go up on an area, the businesses will leave.
holy fuck, that is a lot for the kids today.
We, as in the older generation, really need to do better for the kids in school. This is so wrong the way that it is.
Obviously, comprehension is not your strong point.
In a 10 year period of early 80s to the early 90s, we say a 100% rise. The OP mentioned 88% over a 10 year period from 2006-2016. So, how much did it rise in 16 years? well, roughly 100% every 10 years. So, by 2000, the price would be $200, and then 60% or so ON THE $200 for the 6 years would make that around $320. 88% for the last decade would make that around 600 on up.
So, last I check, $600+ falls in between $500-1000, but perhaps you have some new math? Perhaps GOP math?

wait until you increase your trade with them. You will be sorry.
no, this is just part of the proof that car makers do not want EVs. Dealers do not want them. Car makers do not want them. And building an adapter to tesla does NOT harm their efforts on their own standards, any more than tesla building a chadmoe and j17772 hurt their standards.

how many EV types are sold by car makers. Tesla is coming out with their 4th model. Who else has at least 3?
all charging standards have a digital handing that is allowed. With tesla, you must send information about your vehicle and it is vetted before it is allowed. Any adapaters that the other car maker does for their vehicle would have to provide same information and would have to provide for payment fo electrcity, in a fashion similar to what all new tesla do.
tesla will be happy to allow other car makers to create adapters to theirs. They have said so many a times. None of them go for it because they are simply not interested in making EVs.
Yeah, the Chinese, Korean, and Japanese are calling BS.
Uh no. Tesla is nothing like Comcast. They never developed a thing, but bought up others. Tesla is the Ford or Boeing of this century. Innovative and about to destroy other markets.
Except that Tesla was out with their standard LONG before the others. In addition, the fact that none of the other car makers are building an adapter to Tesla network really says what their goals are, which is to continue to push ICE.
And yet, they could make adapters, but choose not to. That speaks volumes.
No. There is a market for other car makers to make and sell the adapters. They do not want EV sales. And Tesla spots are already full.
Fine. The other car makers can build their own adapters and sell them, like Tesla sells a chademo and includes css.
A huge issue u missed is the number of cells. Other car makers use small numbers of much larger cells. Tesla is only one with massive number of cells and excellent HVAC on them. As such Tesla can pour into each cell at faster rate without the high temps that degrade those large cells.
