Seriously, NuScale's new SMRs can actually run without water just using an air-based cooling tower.
Of course, it is far better to not and instead use the waste heat to desalinate water.
Actually, earlier, he kepyt saying 3rd or 4th Q. In the last call, he said 3rd Q.
If you look at Bloomberg, it is obvious that they are finally kicking butt and taking names after. They are doing 5500 cars / week, so, I would think that hitting 6000 / week will happen before end of month.
elon gave a little bit of money to a few GOP. Big whoop.
OTOH, a large number of red states continue to work to block Tesla from selling in their state.
BUT, I suspect that with this going private, that investment money will be forthcoming, and Tesla will probably open up a NEW bid for a third GF in America.
At that point, any GOP politician that is fighting Tesla will likely have some explaining to do.
Too bad. I thought you had a valid point.
I'm pretty certain that Tesla will survive, but had it not been for something like this, so many would be working to destroy them.
Problem is, that Tesla likely did not take these ppl money. I would guess that nearly all of stock was sold to ppl that want Tesla to succeed. Otoh, the shorters, unions, GOP, etc came along and are working to destroy Tesla.
Oh, I suspect that issues over financing/gaap/etc is a huge part of it. But musk has multiple problems. The first is the shorters like chanos are manipulating the market. Then you have multiple lawsuits from ppl that are also trying BS. Add in the union garbage, and CA's playing with regulations, well, it might mean a private Tesla can make lots of changes with little issues.
Let's hope that is exactly how it works. In light of so many that we're trying to destroy Tesla, I would enjoy finding out how many of these ppl will be harmed or possibly financially wrecked.
The reason is because so many are shorting, sueing over fake stuff, etc .
In this case, if you are smart, buy at least a share. Then you are in on this.
You obviously do not have a grasp of logic/intelligence. We cut our emissions down. Made no difference.
OTOH, my gov and business are now opening up our pollution to be more like your nation's. High emissions. Loads of pollution.
Sadly, you would rather troll, than do anything intelligent.
I can show loads of your lying, but lets keep it simple since you just deny, deny, deny.
You are probably one of those idiots who Fox news has convinced that China is still communist.
Only an idiot would lie about CHinese gov not being COmmunist. Their constitution, the fact that you can not vote for anybody except within the communist party, the fact that you have NO rights to criticize them says they are communist and totalitarian.
The fact that you do nothing but defend your nation's ability to pollute while lying about me and America and Europe all the time speaks volumes of you troll.
This was not a discussion about karmen vs orbit. This was about soft landings. Clipper and grasshopper were doing landings long before BO, but from lower altitudes. however, 2 miles vs 60 miles vs 200 miles up, does not change the landing . As such, I say dcx and grasshopper were before New Sheppard.
First, As to dems/GOP, BOTH parties in Nevada are fighting it. More of a NIMBY I guess.
But, I find it interesting that you choose to not continue on with that wiki
In May 2009, then United States Secretary of Energy Steven Chu stated:
"Yucca Mountain as a repository is off the table. What we're going to be doing is saying, let's step back. We realize that we know a lot more today than we did 25 or 30 years ago. The NRC is saying that the dry cask storage at current sites would be safe for many decades, so that gives us time to figure out what we should do for a long-term strategy. We will be assembling a blue-ribbon panel to look at the issue. We're looking at reactors that have a high-energy neutron spectrum that can actually allow you to burn down the long-lived actinide waste. These are fast-neutron reactors. There's others: a resurgence of hybrid solutions of fusion fission where the fusion would impart not only energy, but again creates high-energy neutrons that can burn down the long-lived actinides....
Basically, chu, not O, wanted to make use of the 'waste' that we have, which is exactly what we should be doing.
I have written Perry several times to suggest that he NOT focus solely on coal, but that he push the SMRs, along with adding Desalination to these. I doubt that you live in the west, but we have serious droughts and with AGW, it will only get worse. The problem is, that we have losers in states like Texas and California that suck our water out of our rivers and then cry that we should not get the water that starts in our state.
Actually, the largest consumer of Chinese goods, are the Chinese. The fact is, that we account for about 5% of their GDP, which is not that much.
BUT, with that said, I have been saying all along that America needs to put a increasing tax on all consumed goods/services based on where the worst part/service comes from, WRT CO2. By place, we need to use each nation, along with each state. With this approach, if a business uses say all Norway parts/services, then they have ZERO tax. Why? Because they have one of the lowest emissions in the world. OTOH, if they add a part/service from California, they might get a tax of 20% of the current tax. OTOH, if they add a part from say Texas, then it jumps up to around 60-70% (texas is pretty dirty). Finally, if from China, then the tax would be 100%. The idea is to get all medium/bad nations to drop their emissions, while rewarding the good nations.
A couple of caveats, which is we need to skip the gov lies. Instead, we need satellites to show the CO2 that flows IN/OUT of an area. We do not care where it comes from, only that it is produced there. It is up to the local govs to figure it out and clean it up. Otherwise the businesses will leave. BTW, OCO2 has shown that nations ARE cheating. It is because of OCO2 that CHina was forced to admit they lied about their coal consumption over the last 50 years. Once OCO3 is placed on the ISS and in place for about 2-3 months, then CHina and supposedly some European nations will be forced to admit that they burn even more.
In terms of normalization, skip the per capita. It is worthless. The reason is that you and I really do not decide. It is businesses and govs that really make the choices. For example, would the world car makers be switching off ICE to EVs if Tesla was not here? Nope. China might continue paying lip service, but that is all. BUT, Nissan, volt, bolt, E-golf, etc all are doing it because of tesla and no other reason. China has their own reason for switching. EVs in China will actually make things worse, not better. But, it will allow CHina to not depend on imported energy, but to use a greal more of their coal.
Regardless, if we do this, it would clean up the world.
Of course, the Germans got their engine technology from where? Goddard.
Basically, space, like most innovations, is a case of building on the work of others with the initial work typically not even recognized. Nobody but the Germans recognized how great Goddard was. They BEGGED him to come work with them on developing his stuff. And when we captured V2s, and examined them, apparently a fair amount of Goddards work had gone into it, along with improvements. It is said that Von Braun was EXCITED to meet Goddard, but not the other way around. Sadly, that was missed by 1/2 year.
But hey, so many AC hate to give credit where credit is due.
lol. Uh, no. BO was not even close to being the first to succeed.
First off, we have all of the planetary landers.
Secondly, the Delta CLipper had travelled to 10K' and then softlanded as well.
Thirdly, SX had already sent a stage 1, grasshopper, up to what, 6K feet and then brought it down? It was their attempts at trying the boats that prevented them from being before BO.
All BO did was go a little bit higher, and then come down. Not that big of a deal.

baloney yourself idiot.
OCO2 is showing that China is emitting more than what they admit to. However, it is not possible to get absolute numbers on it. All that is seen is that it is much more than double what America is, and we are at 14.5% of global emissions.
This is no different than when China had to reverse their 50 year lie about coal and how they were caught just recently releasing 13,000 TONNES of CFCs into the atmosphere YEARLY. And it turned out that the Chinese gov KNEW that companies were doing it. Otherwise, they would not have been doing it all of the construction companies.
you are. Right Porky/Red Tide. It would take a paid communist like you to lie about CHina not being a communist nation.
elon gave a little bit of money to a few GOP. Big whoop.

They want their money in control. Like China, Saudi Arabia is investing in a number of western companies. Smart.
I am sick of the trolls that are trying to destroy Tesla.
That was you lying about your nation being communist. Only a liar like you claims it is not.

Well then, by your POV, a nation that produces less than 15% of Co2 is not relevant compared to one that is at 1/3 to 1/2 of all CO2.

Updated May 9, 2018 - 7:53 pm WASHINGTON — Nevada’s bipartisan congressional delegation united Wednesday against a bill to revive the licensing process on an Energy Department application to open Yucca Mountain as a nuclear waste repository. The state’s lawmakers also tried unsuccessfully to shape the bill through amendments. Nevada gov has been fighting this all along. Even with Reid gone, they are STILL fighting it.
Actually, just checked their congressional matrix. split, but more dems. However, all, including the state gov, are fighting against yucca.
