Hey moron, a nation that sells a lot more coal plants than they do renewables is NOT pushing renewables.
And if you can not see that installing 700 new coal plants esp in nations that do not even have coal, shows a real lack of logic, and intelligence.
The only meaningful subsidy is to get a market started. Once really going, it needs to survive on it's own. Wind is already established. At this time, ALL wind companies should be setting money aside to take them down.
And what is missed here is that most towers are fine. As such, bring down the old wind plant and put up a new , more efficient, and cheaper plant.
As to the old, recycling works wonder.
Again, it will not help. Anybody can crack another system and post from there.
However, vetted certificates would help, and at the least, make it hard for foreigners to take over ppl's IDs.

Seriously, I have to think that a number of the trolls here are coming from places like Russia and China.
The problem is that many of them are manipulators and ppl need to read in-between the lines.
and how many new coal plants is America building? ZERO.
How many old coal plants have been re-opened? ZERO.
Looks like a number of executives and governors are brighter than Trump and China.
Anybody that remains invested in oil or coal only companies within 2 years, will be foolish. OTOH, if the company is moving to diversify, then they may be worth it.
Apple sells far more to the west esp America. Yet rather than invest in western nations, or 3rd world nations, they invest in China, while Chinese gov pushes coal.
If you look at what I am suggesting, it is NOT new. Basically, take the systems that they currently do and modularize them for plug-n-play. This is no different than OO code vs. the typical top-down waterfall designed no function/procedure call type code.
nope. We need to automate as fast as possible. That is especially true on the lower-end jobs. For example, it is fairly easy to automate mucking out stalls, yet, we have not done that. In California, the farmers are FINALLY getting smart and having equipment designed and built for Ag automation. We need to do the same with restaurants, esp. fast food, etc.
But keeping ppl here because they work low=end jobs is a horrible idea. There will always be plenty of ppl that can work those jobs.
First off, I spoke of illegals. H1B are here LEGALLY. Asshole.
Secondly, I AM opposed to H1B, but believe instead that we should knock off all H*Bs and increase the green cards with a focus on job needs. H1Bs are treated HORRIBLY until they get their green card. And I have known at least one person who was denied it by Verizon because they wanted him to go back to India and work on their junk there.
Thirdly, I'm married to an Indian who emmigrated here LEGALLY. Her entire family emigrated here LEGALLY. I know of a number of illegals here. I do not turn them in because it would solve NOTHING. And where am I running down illegals to speak of their crimes, or to speak about the REAL situations (such as taking jobs, not paying taxes, etc)?
The only racists are those that want to continue this. One thing I have seen is that most of the Latino illegals want America to enforce the laws on illegals from OTHER nations, just not on Latinos. That is about racists as they get. Would that include YOU?
In fact, Americans are not allowed in Mexico either unless you have loads of money and seek citizenship.
What is odd is that nearly all other nations have much tighter immigration laws than America, and yet, ppl scream about how bad we are for wanting to enforce our simple laws.
Had you any real knowledge, you would know that it was strictly about children that are brought here. In fact, it was school funding for the kids since it went STRAIGHT TO THE CHILDREN, not the parents. It specifically says that adults are not covered. We do NOT give adults ANY MONEY. PERIOD.
If you had a brain, you would oppose illegals as well. I have a sis-in-law that was an illegal, and the rest of the in-laws are here legally (via UK, India, and Australia ). And NO innocent person would suffer from anything that I have suggested.
I am amazed at the shear number of ppl that scream about the illegals, but will not call in the employer.
It is the EMPLOYERS THAT MATTER. They are the ones providing jobs and incentives for illegals to come here.
W let them in for the first 4 years of his admin, but without jobs, and state support, they will not come.
please do not. This attacking of illegals by ICE really is not doing much to stop the flow. The fact is, that as many illegals as ever are STILL coming over the borders, or coming in on visa and overstaying. The difference is that they are now working to not get caught.
THe ONLY solution is for ICE to go after companies that hire illegals and really apply the laws to those that hire them.
And if they catch any business owner mistreating the illegals, then we should REALLY throw it at them.
First off, MOST illegals are NOT working for crappy pay. Yes, those that work in fast food DO make lousy wages. But those working in construction make same pay as what an American would, but do not pay taxes. Sadly, they are making 15-30/hr, which I made 12/hr back in the early 80s as a labor, jr carpenter.
Secondly, you have the first part right, but not the second. We need to legalize ALL DRUGS, but control them better than we are.
The real issue with jobs is to phase in FULL e-verify on all jobs over 2 years, along with going after ANY STATE that pays out money to illegals. For example, California, Illinois, and back in late 00s, Colorado, do not actually check for legal status. Once e-verify has gone through, then any state who is not in full compliance gets 100% of their federal funding cut off.
As to e-verify, simple to do. Start from the git-go with all new hires, along with ALL executives/top managers (high-end white collar). After 1 year, then do the entire rest of the manager/white collars (e.g. software engineers). After 2 years, then do all construction and manufacturing (basically high-end blue collar). Finally, after 3 years, everybody is fully checked. The last includes all services, foods, Ag, etc.
Stop access to jobs and gov payouts and yes, they will leave and quit coming. Simple as that.
And as somebody suggested, any illegal that outs a business after the 3 years for cheating, should get a pink card, some financial reward, while the business ppl go to jail. Any legal immigrant that harbors an illegal should lose their immigration upon being deportation of the illegal.
My sis-in-law is an ex-illegal from costa rica. Nice place. BUT, like 40% of all illegals that were here, she came in on a visa to work as a nanny, and then decided that she liked the higher pay and the better area. So, she ran for 4 years and then fake married an American, divorced, and then actually ended up marrying my B-i-L.
I also know ppl in Northern Illinois where a metal working company is owned by a guy that married an American, and then the guy brought up over 40 illegals from his village, who have fake papers, and during the winter, go back to Mexico, while collecting unemployment from Illinois. I have been invited down there before their divorce, and was told that no, the area is wonderful, no drugs, no major unemployment, etc. BTW, as to the divorce, between the American and the sleazy business owner? Well, she found out about his other family in mexico. She was not happy.
Both of these go on a lot. There is a reason why construction contractors switched to using sub-contractors rather than handling employment themselves. They did not want to be held responsible for hiring illegals.
Totally agree that it is NOT all black/white. In fact, I believe that we need to keep the true DACAs and their parents.
The real problem here is that so many Americans have turned extremists.
We have the far right that screams that ALL illegals have to be sent home and that we have to build the wall and stop all refugees.
Then we have the far left that screams not only do we give citizenship to ALL illegals, but that we should have open borders.
Both of these are extremists in nature and totally insane.
For example, about 10-15% of all illegals are DACA. Most of them have stayed in school at least 4 years, OR have GED/better. IOW, they have integrated with our society. They may speak their native tongue, but I will lay odds that their english is better than the native tongue. For all intents and purposes, they are Americans. Give them a green card and if they serve in military or vista, give them citizenship.
If an illegal came here and has children here (legally or via above DACA), then give them a pink card. Let them work here, pay taxes, but get NO social benefits. Basically, we do not want to separate, not give them benefits.
And then phase in e-verify over 2-3 years. Change the immigration system. Drop the H*Bs, but increase the green cards. The new GCs , and part of the old number, should be based on America's job needs.
In addition, add a bill for pushing robotics esp for low-end jobs such as janitorial, fast food cooking, Agriculture, etc.
We want to speed up the automation of manufacturing/services, while pushing for more education (not just college, but vocational as well). Bringing in adults from other nations that have zero skills makes little sense. They will simply end up on even longer term gov. support.
But, like you, I have known several H1B that were great on the computer, but were denied green cards. It turned out that it was the sponsoring company (verizon) was expecting infosys to send them back home and for them to work from there. But, these guys really belonged here and had been promised to get green cards if they went out on H1B. H*Bs are criminal rackets. Once somebody has green cards, then companies can not screw them over.

e-verify works fine.
illegal alien if you must be pedantic.
which is why we need to raise the minimum wage and push back on paying food stamps, etc.
The intelligence world in America and Europe have listened to ppl in his admin (possibly him) cutting deals with russian spies.
If no illegals, then these malls will stop turning over data.

So, you are saying that if you are an illegal here in the states that you can not choose to simply go home?
