The reason why manufacturing moved there is because china fixes their money; subsidized various industries there; dumps on foreign markets; has max wages; and built up cheap coal plants. IOW, those plants are not built after the fact, but before the fact.
No, china has not spent even close to the amount they claim, let alone what you claim. As it is, their coal as % of electricity continues to climb much faster than all other forms of electricity . back in the 60s, they were at 60% coal. Now, they are over 85%. By 2030, it will be over 90, possibly 95%.
It is amazing how easy it is to run several cables about 50 miles. That would allow for building 2 separate plants and having 24x7 power.
In addition, solar should be initial power. After that, nukes should used
Seriously, if the GOP would quit trying to kill new space, we will get to the moon sooner. The fact is, that bigelow wants to put a base on the moon around 2020. At this point, it will likely be 2022 since the GOP continues to hold back human launchers. For bigelow to send up a station, they need at least 2 reliable western launchers.
Lol. Our gemeni and mercury programs used our icbm as launch vehicles. Saturn, which started in mid 1950s, was always developed as a heavy launch vehicle. It had no use as an icbm.
Private enterprise, esp. Bigelow , wants to go to the moon because so many nations will be happy to pay to go. Few have the resources to really go to space, let alone the moon. But if bigelow and other companies create a low cost path to the moon, then nearly every nation will happily pay to put at least 1 person there, to search for anything interesting.
Bull. O, boldens and nasa's priority is to go BEO. Even now, they are working hard to lower the costs of the ISS so that private space will handle that and the moon, while NASA goes to asteroids and Mars.
Actually, it is the GOP that funnels 10s of billions to large defense companies to build the SLS which is too expensive to fly
while fighting against the 100s of millions that O has pushed to new space which will gives us multiple companies with much lower costs.
Also missing is what they will be required to do. America needs to come down, but even more important is China. The numbers that put up are wrong.
According to OCO2, China accounts for more than 40%, and possibly 50%, of current CO2 emissions.
Really? In what way is this more subsidized than oil, gas, and coal? There is a 7500 subsidy, but that has limits, unlike the massive subsidies on fossil fuels. And at this time, Tesla is on track to be extremely profitable. In fact, the cars themselves ARE profitable. It is the build-out of showrooms, giga-factory, and Superchargers, that cost them.
You are kidding. Right? Spacex has always given far more information than ula, Boeing, l-mart, ball Northrup , O-atk, etc. They may not give you what YOU want and when you want it, but it is still more information and sooner than others.
Federal makes it 85 MPH max with a max of 75 MPH in city limits.
States have the right to put their own limits on. Here in the west, we typically do 80 or 85 max, though nobody pays attention to it.
Instead, most will run at 90-95. And in Texas, Idaho, and Montana, it is common to do 100+ with a $5 ticket for speeding up to 20 MPH over if there is light traffic.
It was announced in Dec 2, 2014. IOW, it was just last year.
If you are not able to remember that, I suspect that you do not realize that live in Houston, not Austin. You Texans have very selective memory.

Not even close. They will not be closing any of these new coal plants for another 30-60 years, unless they are forced to.

While destroying America's economy as well.

Hmm. Had I not commented earlier, I would have modded you up. You are 100% correct.

Unless China stops building out their new coal plants right now, there is no way to stop this.
In fact, all nations really need to stop building new coal plants. These are the bane of the emissions.
Lol. Hassle of electric car. That is funny. Far less effort and costs than gas or diesel, but hey, stay with your gas car.

Yes, but fools do not want to acknowledge that.
Personally, I am excited about that. I have pushed to name some of our streets after ppl like this, rather than idiots like reagan or W.
You mean like Tesla motors has?
And yet, Tesla's demand is higher than they can supply. If Faraday ends up making a decent EV, they will also have the Tesla problem.

How odd. Speed limits in America highways is 85 max. Other than Germany, What is it in the other nations that are faster?
large numbers of ppl die in cars. Why? Because they are not as safe as advertised.
here is an article in which they announced that starting in 2015, they would hit the south and southeast and move forward. Also , if you want it, get your neighbors involved. That article gives clear direction as to what is going on, and what someone that really lives in Austin needs to do.
