The man has been destroying Google since he became CEO. Now, he wants to stop workers from unionizing.
Look, if they want to limit email, I am good with it. That is THEIR system. But once you are actively trying to block any legal union attempts, well, that is BS.
Right now, nat gas is replacing coal for electricity for many nations. This is true all over, except for china, India, nations that china is installing coal plants into, Eastern Europe, and Germany. Coal plants are very likely too dirty to be used with this, BUT nat gas is pretty much CO*, and this could clean up the CO2 emissions.
Of course, many solutions that have popped up have over and over had issues that the authors knew, but choose to not disclose. Hopefully, this is not one of them. For America, we could cut our CO2 emissions by ~11% rather quickly. Globally, it would be at least a 5% or greater drop .
The west needs to invest into robots that can do this on the moon, mars, and esp on earth. We have a need of robots to lower labor and access difficult to reach places at lower costs.
SX did get some subsidies from us gov to develop products, but far far less than just about any space launch system in the world.
And like ESA helping airbus 20-30 years ago, it saved them money by being cheaper than all others.
They keep offshoring to India. Who is India's closest ally? Russia.
It is one thing to bring known ppl to America, it is another to send work offshore where a gov that views us as enemies can access the software.
, maybe 2030.
The sats systems, 1-web and starlink, are coming. At first, they will be expensive, but by 2025, the prices will drop way down. More importantly, knowing the ppl behind both of these, they will likely build earth based transceivers that will simple relay between the sat and 1M signals to phones, laptops, etc for 3rd world nations. Basically, these will be made cheap. Why? Because it will enable lots of IOT.
They were/possibly still are giving China full access to our rings.
Quite honestly, we will be switching to Nest doorbell in the near future. I want to be able to see my doorbell from Google Assistant, as well as I like the constant circular recording.
No, the French count on NATO to protect them and do their bidding. FOr example, the French, Italians and Germans called up NATO alliance to force America to help them invade Libya. And if you prefer, we can let AQ/ISIS attack you as opposed to telling you 3-6 times a year when a group is about to attack.
And considering that we have a great deal more nuclear power than france, and worse yet, France is shutting down their reactors and replacing with AE, just like America has done in SOME places,well,....
Huh.
Lets see. China is now stopping adding new nuke plants (they will finish the ones they have and then stop).
Germany and a lot of EUrope is stopping their nuke plants.
Japan stopped it, but realized that they had to have it.
S. Korea continues to add.
And hey, it turns out that America is now adding new nuclear SMRs. In particular,NuScale just got an order to build 12 reactors. There are others looking at it and considering using these to replace coal. And Perry/GOP are looking at other ways to get more nuclear power going.
So, no. Some Americans are anti-science on this, but others are not.
LOL.
DO you realize that SUV/pickups are the FASTEST growing vehicles in the world? China is buying them up faster than America. Why do you think that China's emissions increase are between 4-7%.
McMansions? The ones that I see here, have solar panels, great insulation, and geo-thermal HVAC. Why? Because these ppl do not want to pay large utility bills.
Fly to extravagant locations? Please. How many of you assholes are on here al the time gripping that Americans never go anywhere?
Eat beef every day? Some do. Many do in CHina. MAny do in Europe. Hell, if not for Europe, Brazil would not be destroying their forest.
For many of us Americans, we do things like put a solar system on our home, insulate our homes better, and drive EVs such as Tesla's.
Burlington-Northern cargo rail is moving to LNG which makes good economic sense.
I keep wondering if elon could make a railcar that contained a large amount of li-ion, or perhaps use a flow-battery, and then do recharging at stops and slow cities. Likewise, any braking/slowing down could be regened back.
Seriously, if they include multiple battery/tractor in a train, they might be able to use a single LNG-electric system to keep running at a set speed and charging the battery.
First off, rail in America already carries the most cargo of any system in the world. The last thing that we will do is convert to expensive systems like France/China have.
Secondly, most cargo does NOT need to be sped along. Moving at 50-60 MPH average is plenty fast.
Third, China and France have SLOW systems for carrying ppl. 100-200 mph is fine for a small nation like France, but when you have to travel 5700 km, or in the future 15,000 km, then 100-200 mph systems are jokes.
Finally, with hyperloop coming, it is ideal for not only ppl, but also such things as refrigeration, as well as items like first class mail.
America will be putting a ground based passenger system, but it will not be slow/expensive/dangerous like Europe and CHina uses. The hyperloop WILL beat all that easily.
BTW, Burlington Northern is in the process of converting from diesel-electrics to LNG-electrics. Ideally, if we restart our nuclear power with SMRs, we will probably use a combination of battery/recharging when going through slow cities/stops.
No, we NEED a green new deal here. We just do not need her idea of it.
Perry has it correct that we need to have on-demand systems available, but these should also be clean. The would leave it as hydro, geo-thermal, and nuclear.
Yes, but I believe that Burlington Northern is still heading down the path of LNG for their fuel.
I keep wondering if batteries combined with track charging in cities would be a better choice.
This is dire news. America went up 3.4%. Not good. What is not said is that China's increase will go up 4.7-7.0 %, and India is above that.
Thankfully, India and Americas will be pretty low, but China's is going to be massive increase. With America's 3.4% increase on 15%, it will mean that America will add some.5% to global emissions. Worst of all, CHina emits double what America does, so that 4.7-7.0 increase will add 1.5-2.3% to Global CO2 emissions.
BTW, India's emissions are so low, that their ~10% increase of their emissions will be less than America's (and obviously's China's).
The one good news is that because of Trump's tariffs on China, and the slowing of their economy, it will likely bring their emissions down next year, in spite of growing EVs.

Seriously? WTF does this have to do with going to space? Nothing.
I hope that SX does have to fight for it. However, Airiane 6 is not a competitor to either F9,FH, or BFR.
England is now investing more and more into HSF programs. So are many other nations.
SX did get some subsidies from us gov to develop products, but far far less than just about any space launch system in the world. And like ESA helping airbus 20-30 years ago, it saved them money by being cheaper than all others.
What is going on, is that assembly takes place in texas where a launchpad is at. This makes it trivial to move any rockets to another site.
Yes, but if we are going to teraform mars, plants will have to grow.

No, there is little doubt that china spies and steals. I've dealt with 1-2 spies ( 1 that FBI sent packing & the other was not certain ).
And trump said, we are all Nazis now.
Agreed, but this is Costa Rica. Far from lots of manacured lawns, though it might be used in their fields. CR still uses DDT.
Seriously, we are destroying our planet due to massive CO2. We need to stop burning all fossil fuel. The only way is adding Nukes to AE.
U are suggesting that AGW is a natural disasters? Do you also consider Mt. Rushmore to be a natural wonder of the world?
, maybe 2030.
