Seriously, other govs are putting their scientists and even their money into projects here in the states. They will walk off with the technology from all of this.
Just as O and the dems did his AE subsidies , right now, the GOP should be working with O to re-start American nuclear R^D and esp. the Development.
WIth a 5B / year fund for say the next 4-6 years, invested into a number of start-ups, we could have multiple companies trying various approaches.
At the same time, we need to deal with the waste and old reactors that exists. Trans Atomic and Flible could have new reactors within 6 years, if funded.
CONgress needs to quit being the worst session EVER and start doing something.
However, in our national interests, it actually made good sense in pushing Solar and Wind, along with small nukes, small hydro and geo-thermal. Yet, it was the GOP that continues to fight that. Worse, they push the manufacturing our of the nation and into China, while 'screaming' that China is destroying America. Go figure.
The neo-cons/tea* that run the GOP today do not give a flying fuck about what is happening, as long as they get theirs.
Actually, the real problem is that we allowed China to dump on America. Had we not done that, then we would have a lot more manufacturing here and it would be even lower costs.
Thankfully, Solar City is doing it right. They got the infrastructure in place for putting up panels, got the costs down, and now, is focused on lowering the costs of panels by manufacturing their own. And yes, they will come down.
What is going to be a problem, is that China is going to manipulate the money again and dump on the west to revive their economy that is a total disaster.
Na and cl will not go into the cloud. They will fall out. Otherwise, you would have inland areas coated in salt already since the oceans provide most of the clouds in the world.
Wrong. Assume that you have your kid at a daycare and they leave the door wide open all the time. In addition, it turns out that the back that you were not allowed to see is where they put the kid and it is right by the road. Then your kid is stolen. It would be BOTH the thief and the daycare that would be gone after. Rightly.
Consumers should be the ones suing companies like Target and Home depot. In particular, they will be able to point to them running windows as well as outsourcing at wages below 10,000/year. The later makes them easy targets by Russia and Chinese to offer 10x the salary, esp. since the company is not allowed to operate in these nations.
And this link is far more interesting.
In particular, it shows with REAL data, and not just guess work, that Americans consume around 110 lbs / person / year in 2009.
IOW, all of the numbers out there from your groups are a great deal more than what we actually (produced - exports) + imports.
This is the problem with you far lefters. You scream that America is the one that is all wrong. Yet, you ignore the fact that we are not even number 1 in any of the categories that cause issues. More importantly, the difference is minimal.
This is the same problem with CO2. Many of you, such as yourself, will scream about America's CO2 emissions, yet, ours is at 14% of the world total AND DROPPING fast. OTOH, China's is at 33% and climbing. In fact, according to OCO2's data, China is MUCH higher than 33% (IOW, facts collide with what the chinese gov. "reports" and you far left accept).
Really want to make a change? Then quit pointing at ONE nation (esp. when it is NOT the root cause) and instead, come up with solutions that solve it for ALL.
The water being added to the atmosphere is done over the oceans, not over the mountains.
In fact, Ideally, this would be done at offshore wind platforms.
Seriously, if we can do this off the western coast or in the mexican gulf, we can increase the humidity and then once over mountains, simply seed it to snow.
Or, if we know that a cold front is incoming in one direction, simply increase the humidity in another area, so as to drop plenty of snow/rain.
With this approach, we could increase the snowpack in the western mountains and save it in the numerous reservoirs.
LOL.
RO is used, but it is expensive. The reason why it is preferred is that it can be located anywhere and power lines ran to it. Now, if you have a power plant close to the ocean, esp if it is being used for cooling purposes, then desalination is next to NOTHING to do. Basically, it uses waste energy to create clean water. As such, it is NOT expensive, just limited in where it can operate.
actually, during the first 2 years, O and the dems brought back America's economy and kept us from moving into a depression worse than the Great Depression.
In addition, ACA was done during the first 2 years of O time which is when they had control of CONgress and ACA was considered halfway decent solution. Even now, less than 1/3 want ACA gone (and that is pretty much the GOP), 2/3 want it tweaked or to move to single payer system.
However, I would argue that the dems really have not done anything innovative.
In fact, for AGW, we are supposed to see harder and longer droughts . the best thing is for America to prepare. With the waste heat from so many thermal power plants within 20 miles of the ocean, we are foolish to not use these.
Mosquitoes carry viruses between mammals. Some of these virus are mammal specific, but a number of unknown virus are transmitted regularly, that have cut sections of DNA from organism A and then inserts it into organism B via arthropod borne viruses. Interestingly, we do not look for these because they are asymptomatic. But, they still transfer large DNS sequences , with some genes, between us.
To make this happen, they really need to build a biosphere 3 and get it to work. If they have to add some O2, fine. But they need to know what the facts are.
Ideally, they would build this in the Antarctica's amundsen scott south pole station. For energy, it would be great if they were allowed to put a SMALLL nuclear reactor there. Likewise, use some of the Bigelow Units for living in. This would be by far the closest to Mars that we could see on Earth.
BTW, for a car that is NOT wanted, the Model S is the number 1 car in sales for its class (such as porsche panamera and Audi A8, etc. ). So, I would have to guess that since Tesla is SUPPLY limited, and not demand limited and still outsells all their competitors in the same class, then obviously ppl want them.

what exactly do you think that large waves do?

you forgot the fact that pollution from coal is doing a large number on these birds as well.
yet, they always do.
Even now, they are not manufacturing their own solar or wind equipment.
yup. You got that right.
In fact, these same problems continues to this day.
If we had a decent CONgress they would fund the gen IV reactors and get Trans Atomic and Flible Energy going.

America is not even the largest meat eating nation

BTW, here is some information for you.
Basically, RO is expensive, but pushed by the wrong ppl. Thermal desalination using waste heat saves money.
LOL.

Banned from flying inland due to the noise. And that is also why Europe never ran it over their own land: too noisy.

A kock bro. sucker that replies to self. Just remember to wipe your mouth when you move from 1 bro to the other.
Not high enough. Far better to use waste heat from power plants to drive desalination
Yeah, America never develops anything.
