It was ALL facts?
For example, is it fact that pesticide treated food is safe to eat? Keep in mind that certain pesticides used in the states are not allowed elsewhere because they are considered unsafe.
So, which fact is it?
Actually, science came about after the world was determined to be round, and science has always been against witchcraft.
It was conservative religious nut jobs that push concepts of flat earth and witchcraft.
Look at the nuke issue. Scientists want to continue building new nuke plants. Why? Because we KNOW that global warming is a REAL ISSUE that needs REAL SOLUTIONS.
However, Liberals, like conservatives, put their head in the ground and ignore the fact that new gen IV reactors can NOT have the issues that we seen in these gen II and gen III reactors.
And yet it was the whacko right wing nuts that do not want stiff safety measures on companies. As such, we get meltdowns because if right wing nuts.
We need to push gen IV reactors, but again, the far right wing nut jobs want to push ge and Westinghouse old gen III garbage.
Sigh.
As somebody said, those are safety measures and they are esp. needed for all the gen III crap out there.
Instead , we should be doing gen IV such as trans atomic and flible.
For a grade schooler, it is just as hard.
And for many of those critters, they read legaleaze the way I would read C++, C, perl, java, bash, etc. IOW, it is not a big deal for them.
I googled for 'costs of lithium'.
You googled for 'price of lithium'. I think that yours is the real price for lithium, whereas mine is probably processed.
Regardless, pretty damn cheap for lithium.
what a moron.
DO you have ANY clue of how stupid your comments are? The bill has less words than a harry potter book. Now, if a grade schooler can read harry potter, do you really think that not a one of the congress critters or their assistents ever read it? If you believe that, then you are even more stupid.
And it was obvious what was wanted by the framers as well as those that voted on the bill.
The ONLY way that that could happen is if the constitution was thrown out.
As it is, it is obvious that Scalia, Alito, and Thomas do not give 1 shit about the constitution and hope to simply legislate from the bench.
Basically, those 3 are some of the worst justices that America has had. I would not be surprised to see 1 or more of these were on the take.
it is the fact that 3 judges actually sided with the idea that this was not legal based on wording.
It means that these 3 did not look at, nor care, about intentions. In addition, even looking at the wording, and taking it to this extreme, shows that these 3 are working hard to legislate via the bench.
These 3 judges are some of the WORST that America has ever had who puts their politcs over the constitution or what our framers wanted.
LOL.
What a moron. A leaf cost 30K, but, the price of ownership is far less than an ICE car. As such, the real costs is comparable to a 22-25K car.
That is affordable.
Uh, no. The real costs is the high temps that are needed. Lithium itself is relatively cheap and relatively little is used. For example, most li-ion batteries are only about 1/20 lithium. So, in the nissan leaf, it only uses 9 lbs of lithium. At current price of 300/lb, that is only $2700 of lithium. So, why does their batteries costs 15,000? Because of the processing that is required. The costs of a li-ion battery is about 2/5 chemicals and 3/5 (or more) in processing costs.
Yeah, if this was somebody else, I would agree with you.
BUT, this is Dr. chiang who has been fairly accurate with all that he publishes.
As such, I would be willing to guess that he is a lot closer to 100 than others.
Most of the announcements by Eastern/South East Asian Academicians, either in east/south east Asia, or in the states, are normally just total BS.
However, Dr. Chiang is the exact opposite. When he speaks, it is always straight forward R&D that he has done. Basically, this is something will make a big difference in batteries.
Now, I wonder, what kind of impact this will have on Tesla and the gigafactory?
Seriously, what really needs to happen is that we need to let the monopolies go. Once it looks like Google can come in at will, all of them will change their tune and improve the situation.
However, it will not matter. Google has invested into SpaceX internet sats, so, Google is likely going to drive these companies into the ground within 4 years.
Worst yet, because it does not address other nations, the west's efforts will fail.
China's emissions are not only more on a yearly basis, but the most since 1850 as well as since the millinium.
If a president REALLY wants to stop CO2 emissions and save the planet, it is within their power. All they need to do is a tax that treats ALL nations the same way.
America is the world's biggest importer. We import from nearly ALL NATIONS. So, any tax that we apply to goods impacts all others.
First, we need to make all nation's REAL CO2 emissions known. Right now, China's is based on esimates from data that their gov. gave. So, instead, it should be based on OCO2 and shortly on OCO3.
Secondly, the normalization should be emissions per REAL $ GDP (not PPP). EMissions are far more tied to manufacturing, and GDP, then to individuals. Note that if a nation cheats by manipulating lowering their money against the $, then it will actually lower their GDP, which will increase their emission rates. So, with this, it stops nations from cheating on emissions and on their money.
#rd, A tax on goods based on where they and their subparts come from would solve this. This tax should rise by 5% of the good's worth each year. It should be applied to all goods. However, if a company wants, they can submit to a website that shows where all the parts come from. If it and the subparts come from a nation like sweden, then they would have ZERO tax. OTOH, if the good has ANY parts from CHina, they will get 100% taxed. If the company is caught lying, then they will be denied the right to sell in America. And if a nation tries to cover it up, then that nation will be barred as well.
This is the ONLY way that a president will be able to drop the CO2 emissions.
China NEEDS their boats to go back full when oil prices are high. As such, they here happy to take resources. At one time, America's recycle stream was done decently. However, that was changed because China was willing to take bad garbage. That killed off the good streams and more importantly, killed off recycling companies in America.
What is needed is to restart recycling in America, and NOT send the goods elsewhere.

So, which fact is it?
The difference is that the needle will protect everybody.
OTOH, rape does nothing of the kind.
And if you are opposed to it, please go to Somalia. They will not require it.

Scientific method came about in 17th century.
But hey, do not let facts get in your conservative religious nut job approach.

Actually, they do not have to be expensive. Doing a small 100mw gen IV reactors that is factory built will lower the costs a great deal.
And yet it was the whacko right wing nuts that do not want stiff safety measures on companies. As such, we get meltdowns because if right wing nuts. We need to push gen IV reactors, but again, the far right wing nut jobs want to push ge and Westinghouse old gen III garbage.

Yes, but you have to start it with gas/diesel. That is the only way to get a real bang for the night.

Actually, South Korea, Vietnam, etc all have similar issues with this.
BUT, you are right. Japan does NOT belong in this category.
And yes, China is by far, the worst.
what a moron.

battery replacement at 150-200K miles? In 10 years? It will be very cheap.
LOL. What a moron. A leaf cost 30K, but, the price of ownership is far less than an ICE car. As such, the real costs is comparable to a 22-25K car.
That is affordable.
Back in the 90's, we had to choose between getting a laptop with ni-mh, OR, paying an extra $300 for li-ion. Now, all laptops are with li-ion.
Uh, no. The real costs is the high temps that are needed. Lithium itself is relatively cheap and relatively little is used. For example, most li-ion batteries are only about 1/20 lithium. So, in the nissan leaf, it only uses 9 lbs of lithium. At current price of 300/lb, that is only $2700 of lithium. So, why does their batteries costs 15,000?
