Trump is about to admit that the Russians cracked a number of voting machines, BUT, there is nothing that can be done about it.
Seriously, it is an embarrassment that we do not have a generated ballot, with the printing done in the language that voter selects from each machine, and then is checked by voter before putting in the box. This should have happened clear back in the 00s, and we should require that now, or return back to butterfly election machine.
and as I said, none are ran 100% on wind/solar, only on hydro, geo-thermal, and nukes.
As I asked before, show us a single nation that is 100% wind or solar.
NOT going to happen.
Seriously, CA, as well as America, needs to cut that sooner. As in 2035.
Add to that, they should require all vehicles be BEV, or series hybrid for certain ones (off-roads including Ag and Construction, EMS, etc). There should also be exceptions for antique cars.
Caffinated Bacon/Crimson Tsunami; Like always, you continue to lie.
"While every electron that's used won't be from renewable energy, we expect to be putting more renewable energy into the grid than we're taking other energy out of it," Professor Garnaut said.
Even they are agreeing that it can not be 100% renewable. You are a gutless troll.
utility grid batteries with 8 hours of storage. Where?
I doubt that hydro storage is available even remotely close to all of the FB sites, let alone other companies.
#2; False. Wind is cheaper than coal in most of America, AND cheaper than nat gas in SOME of America. Solar is beyond nat gas, and only beats coal in a few areas.
#3???? come again? Wind/Solar are indeterminate energy sources. In America, wind is around 32-37% capacity factor, with solar being around 25-30% capacity. OTOH, coal and nat gas are 50-60%, and near 100% availability(well, when enron is not involved). More importantly, American oil and nat gas is only now being exported. As such, 100% of our nat gas was here, which is why America has CHEAP nat gas. We do not have supply issues (Europe does, but that is a different issue).
#4) Most Businesses do not care about the pollution. If they did, then all manufacturing would remain in the west.
In fact, these companies are NOT 100% renewable. The reason is that they do not have storage on the lines. Without storage and using only indeterminate energy, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be 100% renewable.
And at this time, the only storage that is capable of providing enough energy is hydro storage.
the only companies that run 100% clean are those by hydro , geo-thermal, or nuclear, possibly combined with a SMALL amount of wind/solar. There are no energy intensive companies running 100% wind/solar/etc.
I know. The treaties he has broken is with our 2 most important trade partners;Canada and Mexico. And accusations against Canada, a 5 eye partner and one of most trusted allies, just insane.
All I can say is I hope Mueller gets more than enough to put him prison for rest of life.
Just because something can fly around, does not mean that it will fly all over the globe.
Not too many chickens fly from China to Mainland America.
In fact, no birds that I knew of fly from China to Mainland America.
To be honest, I wish that I would hear more. Gov, like businesses, have their own communication channels. the big difference is that within the gov, you have the majority of ppl that want nothing to do with the partisanship, but just want to work. However, that was not the case for what I saw. And it sounds like things have gotten worse, but I suspect that it is more a case of old age no longer looking past the BS. But who knows.
On a side note, back when reagan got in and was screaming about Herpes, we knew about HIV (actually AIDs, still had not IDed the virus though knew it was carried in the 'homosexual' community, and suspicion was that it was a retrovirus). Had tried right at tail end of carter to get him to drop some 500M on epidemiology for this. We knew that at that time, it could not be stopped, but also knew that less than 1000 infected (later on, determined that it was less than 200 at that time). They wanted to shut down all gay bathhouses and try to really slow it down.
Carter had already lost so his attitude was to move all decisions to next admin. reagan shot it down. Not once, but multiple times. And last attempt was my boss going to DC and talking to him. When he came back, he said that we would have nothing to do with AIDs, Nothing to do with Republican Party and had turned from a major backer of reagan to HATING the man. And this was a mormon bishop who was well known for being one of the top virologists in the world.
Have to say that I have lost 2 cousins to HIV so to this day, I am also not a republican and esp not a reagan fan.
Decades ago, I worked at CDC (79-80). I was on ground floor of HIV (knew all the interesting stuff that did not end up in 'the band played on'). Still have friends there. So, nope.
yeah, what Trump is doing leaves a lot to be desired. The same is true of what W did.
Lately, it seems like AMerica is becoming like China.
However, if you are talking about trade deals, other than NAFTA, America has not broke any. Everything that Trump has done has not been constrained by treaties. Even with WTO, it has said that if there is more than a 10% difference in trade, that the disadvantaged nation can impose tariffs.
Problem is, that information leaking out of CHina, that they are not sharing with the world, is that it HAS started human2human transmission. Yeah, it was zoonotic, but if the leaks are true, then it has finally made the jump. This is why CDC is screaming about it. From what I have heard, ECDC and WHO has been quietly begging for samples from China, but that is getting nowhere.
You have to be kidding me. You seriously think that virus are useless as weapons?
You obviously do not have a clue of what you are speaking of.
H7N9 has a 40% mortality rate. More importantly, if you spread around a nation fast, and have ppl getting sick at the same time, you will likely have a massive increase in nosocomial infections, which will lead to large amounts of death. Not 40%. Probably 60-70% (though some 30% from side infections).
And if you think that virus can do no harm, look into WWI as well as what ebola has done.

I really need Tamil for in-laws. They are in their 80s and it would be useful for them to be able to simply talk to turn on lights, etc.

NOT going to happen.
And yet porky/red tide, you will continue to lie.
More than 100% renewable? Wow. I guess that you got your stats class in China.
Sad that you troll so much that you are keeping links to many of your own lies.
BUT, I decided to keep my favorite lies of yours.
Only a paid Chinese would even try to convince others that CHina is NOT a communist country.
And what was it the limey said? Go suck on Xi's knob???? something like that.
If not, follow the rest of the ACs that tell you to take a hike.
Houston is not just hot, but it is going to see major storms. AGW will only make storms worst

A nation under 1500 that burns coconut oil for 7% of their electricity. Not sure that is workable with companies.

huh. Where exactly will FB, Google, etc get their energy for a data center in the middle of the night or when there is a storm in the area?

Meh. Just look at history.
It was Europe that spread the bulk of slavery around the world.
To be fair, slavery was all over the world, just localized.
Uh, you think that this article is attacking Trump? Seriously?

For a terrorist or most communist nations, they do not care about own troops. They will sacrifice them gladly.

BTW, most of the R&D done in clean energy comes from America.
