why burn it? It does great for making plastics, fertilizer, drugs, composites, etc. Basically, cheap CLEAN oil will help drive the global economy in less than 5 years.
Over 150K of the sales was done before the reveal. Musk even announced it. And infinity did not sell 150K of their first car in its first 6 months, let alone before its reveal.
actually no. I seriously doubt that the 3 will be shit. Most likely it is going to have the same interior that the Tesla model S currently has, while the model S will be upgrade to have the same interior as the X. And according to those that have moved from MB class S to a Tesla Model S and then to an X, they tell me that the X is by far the best.
As to the 3, it will have similar interior to the current S.
Finally, rich ppl are NOT buying the 3 as their primary car, but they likely are buying them for their kids.
Actually, as somebody that worked at CDC and was on the ground floor of HIV, I can tell you that CDC was all over the place WRT ebola and is no doubt all over this. CDC keeps very quiet, but does a lot more than anybody realizes. Sadly, with HIV, we found out how political issues are with these disease.
The weird thing is, that money that was set aside to handle the 'waste', is ideal for the plants to grab, install new lftr reactors from trans atomic and flible, and then process the old waste. In doing that, they cut the waste down to 5% size and make it safe in 200 years. This is a win-win-win. And yet , CONgress does nothing.
And yes, a number of the rabid environmentalists along with dems ARE anti-nukes. But, I do not consider them to be scientists or logical about.
These ppl are not much different from the far right wing nut jobs that refuse to look logically at climate change.
And yeah, the idea of our converting to 100% AE, which is mostly wind and solar, has to be one of the stupidest things that I have heard.
BTW, I am hoping that with O being pro-nuke that during the lame-duck session, the GOP will work with him to create a REAL energy program. We need to restart development on nukes, but more on the gen IV, and skip the 1GW gen III from the commercial companies. Regardless, we need new nukes and soon.
I would hate to guess what it costs in China, India, Russia, etc. Our air is far far cleaner than most of the other nations. Even now, we are wiping out emissions from coal, etc.
Seriously, this is just like trade right now. China controls carefully what is allowed in to compete. In addition, if it is something that china wants the manufacturing tech to, they put up large import tariffs against your good and then requires you to 'partner' with a chinese owned company.
China continues to set up the situation so that they can sell outside of china, but from outside, can not sell INTO china.
At this point, WTO should step up and say no. BUT, they will not.
Obviously, they have to give up all data to the chinese gov. This is so that the wonderful Chinese gov can keep their ppl safe. It would NEVER be about restricting their access or finding out who is locating information about freedom.
Meh. I am not interested in the Google/China issue. It really does not impact me. OTOH, when it comes to CO2 emissions, trade, and defense ( such as china occupying other nations area ) issues, that DOES impact me ( and the world ).
actually, rei's answers was mythbusted following his post.
Sorry, but LFTRs remain not only a viable option, but a smart one. We need to burn up the 'waste' that we have, rather than simply bury it.
In addition, we need to replace coal and old nuke plants ASAP. AE will help, but can NOT do it all. And finally, getting 800C from the reactor makes it ideal for many chemical processes.
what is delusional about stopping fossil fuel, esp. coal, and replacing it with a mix of renewables and nukes? Coal is one of the most expensive form of electricity going. As such, it strikes me that keeping coal going is by far the most delusional. It is also why a number of utilities ARE shutting down their coal and switching to things like Wind.
idiots like that love to push H2, which 95% is created from Nat Gas and is actually the lowest efficiency of all vehicles. That is why that person posted as AC.
which by moving to EVs, they fix 2 things at once with 1 solution: EV and Building electric.
Note that given the choice of bringing in more gas stations, or bringing their electric up to a decent level, you can guess which is better for the nation.
stopping imports of cars and oil, rather than about saving the world. As to their electricity, guaranteed to come from coal. The good news though, is that they run pollution controls, unlike China.
First off, we have 100,000 tonnes of 'nuclear waste', JUST IN AMERICA. Worse, it will be dangerous for 20,000+ years. However, if we use it in new gen IV reactors, we can burn it up, and have less than 5% (i.e. 5,000 tonnes), which is dangerous for less than 200 years. IOW, with digging for any more uranium, we can convert what we have to electricity, and then bury a small amount.
Likewise, if we do NOT do nuclear, then it is almost a certainty that we will use more nat gas to replace the current reactors that will be closed.
The gen IV reactors can only fail by physical laws failing. IOW, they can not. That is exactly the type of reactor that we need.
these are meant to be small (150 MW, instead of large 1GW) and produced in a factory rather than built on-site. By building in a factory, it means that these have the same process and group building them and are easily checked for flaws. That is huge.
Sadly, many ignore science and continue to push their fears on others rather than using a logical mind on this.
Trump has offshored loads of work and then hired loads of illegals and H1Bs himself. And now, he is here saying that he will help out.
This is the typical politician that continues to lie, cheat, and steal. The only good thing about him, is that he is rich enough to avoid being owned by other billionaires, which is why they have the GOP in such an uproar.

True, but good luck finding gas stations. When the price plummets, and buyers are demanding EVs, then the majority of gas stations will close quickly.

nope. It is refundable until they have you decide how to configure it. And that is about .5-2 months ahead of delivery.

infected, nothing will happen. Seriously, this CONgress is going to fight it just because O pushed it.

No, tomhath is the GOP troll.

This could really be a big hit for the convention. This way the trump backers can protect themselves from the nasty Cruz followers.

We did. That is why we had issues in a number of these nations
Spot on rei.
I never should have posted earlier and lost my mod points. You trolls need to be modded down
Actually, musk and many of his followers are nuke fans. After all, they tend to be scientists, rather than simple GOP trolls.
