Look, sitting here playing games with trying to figure out emissions will get us nowhere. Instead, put a sat up in space to measure CO2 IN and OUT of nations. Then have every nation put a tax on ALL GOODS based on emissions levels PER SQ KM basis. With such an approach, then each nation can decide where CO2 is coming from and more importantly, how to address it. This has the benefit that different locations have different contributions. For some, it is economic. For others, it is humans. Finally, for others, it is environmental (new growth consumes while burning rain forests emits). We need to quit playing games and by putting a tax as I describe, it will help those that spend the money to lower their emissions, while punishing those that have heavy emissions per sq km.
out of the USA. In fact, it is time for many businesses to threaten to leave. Seriously, CONgress has gotten out of hand. We have neo-cons that run up massive debt during good economic times, totally corruption, and playing games to get keep their jobs, rather than doing their jobs.
Now, you have dems continuing their assault against anything sane WRT IP.
One month's worth of sleeping with someone is about the same as what people have been saying (incorrectly) was the excess dose from eating a banana.
Well, that means that many of the geeks on/. can finally say that they slept with a hot girl on that one and only time.
This will be ideal for setting up a GPS on cubesats for mars/moon. Such a system would require small amounts of circuitry since it would not be encrypted, nor taking commands. It would simply say when and where.
You are not paying attention. China has more. That is true. However, America, Canada, and Australia are all about to produce large amounts of RE. In addition, all 3 have large enough quantities that the west will not be buying from China in about 2 years for at least the next 100 years. The fact is that we were not mining because China was dumping on the global market to gain control. Then they took actions that made MS look positively angelic.
We are about to see some major changes in the USA and the west.
China can not afford to do that. If they do that, without freeing up their yuan, then inflation, MASSIVE INFLATION, will hit them the second that they quit buying these AND the yuan will rise massively against all other currency. You see, because they do not allow their yuan to float, then they HAVE to do something with it. They can not sit on all those dollars.
Now, US needs to quit importing so much esp. from China, and we need to balace the budget. But the good news is that if China decided to not buy our bonds, other nations are likely to step forward on it. And even if not, we could finally balance quickly.
Not really. A well-designed laser system COULD hit pieces and slow them down a bit. Good luck getting kids to be able to hit a bolt or a nut that is one mile away, and moving at mach 20+
That would be to help musicians bypass labels. Seriously, if companies like Amazon, Google, and apple were to work together to provide support to MUSICIANS, they could convince them to leave the labels and get the vast majority of the money for themselves. The labels are the real issue here.
Which will not address the underlying issues. What is needed is for them lower their future costs, not just current costs. THat was the problem with the solutions from 2005 or so. They did really did nothing for long-term solutions, only for the moment.
If losing 7 billion out of a revenue stream of 7 billion (or less), then yes, you are correct.
OTH, if you are losing 7 billion out of say 250 billion, then it is minor, and can be corrected.
The problem is that this is 7 billion out of about 100-250 b.
That amount of money was caused by piss-poor planning from about 5-10 years ago.
What is needed is for them to drop their costs (such as move to 100% electric vehicles) and get more for their labor costs such as collecting utility data on all of their routes, offering up AUTHENTICATED IDs on-line, etc.
This is China's SMALL debt. Most ppl outside of China consider this to be a minor issue, equal in size to our housing bubble that W had developed. They have much much more debt elsewhere. Their housing bubble is what is going to destroy them.
China has so many bubbles. This is just part of the infrastructure bubble. The west should be working hard to get new companies with automation started here. China's cold war is going to explode in its face. We do not want to be there, or one of its victims.
The old 2 tracks was fine for slow and cargo trains. It is poorly designed for highspeed rail. Instead, the USA should be developing monorail with seraphim motor. It is easier to automate the operation as well as installation. That is important.
We can not compare them. SpaceX has put up a capsule and returned it with only 7 years worth of work. They will in the next year or so, put up a rocket that will be 2.5 x the size of what China has done for the last 45 years. China has said that they can not approach the costs that SpaceX has. Bigelow will have a space station started in 3 years.
So, yeah, you are right. We should not compare CHina to America. It is not fair to China.
Instead, we have commercial space already started. Now, we have to get the communist out of US CONgress (shelby, hutchinson, coffman, hatch, etc) and get new private space moving. The problem is that we have a number of old guards in CONgress that want to throw 10's of billions at various unworkable solutions. Constellation was a joke and a half, and was not funded during the 00's. And now SLS is the latest joke. WHen you have ppl like Shelby, Hutchinson, Coffman, and Hatch telling NASA how to build a rocket and who to use (oddly all of the companies were in these ppl's districts), then you know we have a command economy CONgress.
Exactly. It is MINOR amounts from a gov. POV. However, what it does is drain and destroy other companies. From these companies POV, it is a MAJOR amount of money.
Because China is at war with the west. It is not just American firms, but Western firms. That includes Canadian, Australian, UK, and all of EU. Everybody thinks that it is in China's best interest to keep us going. Nothing could be further from the truth. You always wiped out an enemies strength when possible to make it easy to invade them later. Ganghis did it. So did Napoleon and the Romans. It works wonders. The real strength of the west has been that we had a mostly diversified and distributed economy amongst us that was impossible to destabilize. Now, China is going for the heart of it.
So far, Obama is doing more than W/neo-cons did. We are seeing the Yuan rise slowly, while under W it was fixed shortly after it was supposed to be freed. Likewise, W/neo-cons passed tax breaks to send manufacturing to China. Hell, the man even allow weapons tech to flow freely to China.
This is NOT about owning our debt. It is about owning the companies, obtain the IP, and then moving the manufacturing to your own location before you decide to hit them hard.
Yet, China directs their large number of attacks at the west, mostly America, to drain us of cash. Smart on their part.
I think of all the lovers of that on this site, mostly from the west, who do not think once about the fact that this is backed by the CHINESE GOV.. If the CIA was backing such an operation, these same ppl would be screaming bloody murder and saying that we were in an active war with somebody. Hell, I have seen ppl here support CHina's attack on the west, while being upset about the west's stuxnet attack on Iran's nuclear weapons program.
It would have been better had the simply built a drone craft, sent it to the bottom and THEN ANNOUNCED IT. That would have a dramatic impact. More importantly, it would enable a major push for them on new crafts.

It can survive the cold (as in room temp), but It does not GROW outside of that heat. It requires high heat to allow its thin membrane to be fluid.

China is heading towards a MASSIVE blow-up.
If we will start new companies and bring back the manufacturing, then that is a none issue.
