Remove the monopolies. Seriously, we should be limiting the monopolies.
Fastest way is to say that no gov can proclaim a monopoly for fiber. In addition, we should break apart the monopolies and require that any transmission over a monopoly be split off from the non-monopoly part.
Actually no. All Western nations limit nuke tech trade. We will trade amongst each other, but we do not expect that canada, Britain, France, Germany, or Japan to be dropping nukes on each other.
I have already dealt with 1 spy that was tawain born chinese, but wanted to sell itared equipment to Chinese gov. He was willing to give us millions just to 'borrow' it for a time.
I really do not believe that he was a spy. He was not a fan of the Communist gov, and when he was deported to China, it was a case of work for the gov or stay in prison.
Wow, are u ever a fuck up. After the large earthquake triggered by their new reservoir, it showed a number of things. The first was that 1000+ ppl came pouring out from underground wearing nuke bunny suits. Why? It was a nuke site that was not publically declared. In addition, some 3000+ miles of 4-6 car wide tunnels was exposed, that China then admitted to.
And as to nuke tech, America's is very advanced to what China had. And as to comparing to others accused of spying, note that he was not found innocent. Just that the evidence was not overwhelming for what the feds were willing to show.
yeah, that is about as close as it comes. So far, the only regs that has shut down coal mines was the mercury regs that W extended until 2016.
Otherwise, all of the coal plants that have been shut down to date have been because nat gas, along with wind, are much much cheaper than coal.
The other point that you miss is that BOTH Wind and Solar depend on the sun. If the sun is gone, then wind dies. So, imagine if Yellowstone blows. Right when we need energy the most, we lose it all. HUGE mistake. Just HUGE.
In addition, the ability to burn up the 'nuke waste', and use the intense heat of 800 C to reclaim the coal ash cheaply, to grab minerals out of desalinated waters, to grab minerals out of geo-thermal waters, etc. etc. etc is just a horrible waste if we do NOT do this.
The likely hood of this happening is slim, but I sometimes wonder if a minor change is really not that bad.
In this case, change rm to NOT allow/, until -t/--top is added. Then it is allowed.
With this minor change, it could save noobs from themselves and would like not be used that often in the first place.
Actually, only the buyers get tax breaks. BUT, the dealers get some massively nice profits that are now cut out.
As to scaling, The Model X, which is considered the most complex car ever made, has in 3 months scaled up 10x, and is expected to scale up another 3-6x within the next 6 months. IOW, by next sept, they will be producing at a level of around 60-90K / year.
Can Tesla scale up to doing 100K on the M3 in its first year? Yeah, I have no doubt that in the first 12 months they will hit 100K or more. Why?
Because Tesla has already scaled up the majority of their factory. The paint line does.5-1 cars / year. They have a number of stampers, but the new one ALONE can do all of the stamping for.5-1M cars / year. And M3 is supposed to be the most robotic car line ever developed. Tesla expects that M3 will take the least amount of labor of any car for something similar.
and yet, ppl take out options all the time on various items that do not exists yet. And as far putting down 1K, the majority of these ppl are getting 33% knocked off the base price. Not a bad deal.
BOTH attempted to cover it up and take no blame. Just like VW, Daimler, Audi, etc tried to cover up their cheats, regardless of how many it was indirectly killing.
TOTALLY agree with you about that being the smart thing. I doubt it will happen.:)
However, if we quit burning oil/nat gas, then our usage will be below 20% of what it is today. IOW, oil/nat gas will remain cheap for many decades, if not centuries. Still good to have alternatives.
I would argue the same for oil and nat gas. The idea of burning all this is just.... horrible. SO many things from hydrocarbons. And getting them cheap makes a huge difference.
China is NOT kicking their coal habit. China opened up a bunch of new coal mines and simply increased local production. Even now, they continue to build new 1GW coal plants EVERY 7-10 DAYS. Yes, they are adding around 45-50 GW of new coal plant EACH YEAR. That will continue until 2030.
What is funny is that none of the Obama regulations has had ANY impact on coal plants, other than stopping new ones from being done. All of the closing are for 2 reasons:
1) cheap nat gas, combined with cheap wind. Wind is MUCH cheaper than coal. In fact, I think that it is wrong to subsidize it anymore, but CONgress likes to waste money.
2) W's regulation of requiring that coal plants emit NO MERCURY by 2016 was huge. Per the bill, they could get an extension of like 1-2 years, but only if they were putting in place controls, OR building a replacement plant. As such, that is why we are at 30% or less THIS year, and will be around 15-20% in another 2 years. At that time, 1/2 of the coal plants will close and be replaced, by either wind or nat gas.
I agree that we will likely see 500 or even 600. For us to really stop this, requires that ALL nations, esp. China, cut their emissions. The only way to make this happen is to start taxing all goods based on where the worst sub-part comes from (i.e. which nation or state). If this tax starts low and then increases yearly, and it is applied as a % (best place like sweden would get 0; worst like China would get 100% of the tax).
To make this work, requires 2 things; direct monitoring of all nations in the same fashion, along with a smart normalization. As to monitoring, the only real way to make that happen is with satellites. As it is, OCO2 has show that China is cheating massively. The total amount is not fully known, but OCO2 has shown that emit a great deal more than 33%. OCO3 goes in later this year, which will give us absolute values, and Japan is doing a new one as well, that will also give us absolutel values.
And then comes normalization. The current one is to push emissions per capita which is about the worst one going. Why? Because individuals to not decide the majority of emissions. The majority is NOT from cars. It is from Electricity, along with business such as cement and smelting, which are decisions by businesses and govs. So, the RIGHT normalization should be emissions per $ GDP. This also has an advantage of discouraging nations from manipulating their money. If do something like this NOW, we can keep below 400, MAYBE 350 (I really doubt that though).

I was under the impression that he was forced to go to China and was not allowed the option of Taiwan.
Lol. Who captured German scientist to help with nuke efforts?
But obama is not being reelected, so that is not an issue.

just looked that up. I have been Linux since 1 floppy days and did not know about that. Thank you.
What new regulations has Obama created that caused the coal industry to collapse?

And those lenders then write off the losses. IOW, we, the other tax payers, are paying for this.
It is exactly why we need the gen IV reactors . these burn at 800c. That heat is perfect for separating the elements in that ash.

skip using uranium. We can build gen IV reactors that use the 'spent' nuke waste and not have to mine anything for a couple of 100 years.

again, zero chance. Oil and Nat gas are MUCH MUCH cheaper to obtain and better as a feed stock. Coal is far more expensive then both oil/nat gas.
