The federal government needs to implement a 10% tax on all out-of-state/nation sales, BUT have the shipping company collect it. Then 10% of that goes to shipping company, 70-80% goes to the state where sold to, and 10% to the feds to pay down debt. Note that states would have to agree to this.
It is a 'Sports Utility Vehicle' not an offroader. OTOH, if you want, you CAN offroad with it, just like you would a toyota highlander or Ford explorer. Of course, neither of those were intended to be offroad either.
True.
Of course, if you want to lower your chances of fires and explosions when driving, then you go electric. As it is, diesel and esp gasoline are much higher risk of either blowing up, or worse, putting you on fire and just burning you alive.
With tesla, no explosions, and when the battery catches fire, the car will pull over and tell you to get out.
huh.
Chinese economy is caused by MODERATE VAT COMBINED WITH LARGE numbers of Tariffs(even though they agreed to drop them), combined with limited time subsidies.
Brazil was similar.
Europe was the same after WWII.
Actually, America imports more than any other nation. It would make our states, and nations that either import directly, OR that include parts/services from nations/states that have high emissions/ $GDP to start lowering.
there is a real reason why Super chargers are done by malls and restaurants. They have PLENTY of high-voltage/high-amperage electricity.
And oddly, utilities charge these malls and restaurants the lowest rates going.
You would think that utilities would charge more for it, but they don't. The reason is that malls and restaurants are predictable in their electricity needs.
And to be fair, Tesla NEEDS to remain connected to the grid. If something like Yellowstone blows, then the midwest and eastern seaboard NEED a means of travel and that means electricity for EVs.
In order to get government contracts, Lowe's, home Depot, etc have jump through some hoops. For example, they require a drug test. They also require a minimal level of security on their computers. Yet outsourcing to a place that pays ppl under 10k / year and does not have decent coding skills makes them a large security risk.
Based on patents, they have the right to charge whatever they want. In fact, that is what the drug companies do as well.
Which is why we need to re-do patents WRT medical items. In particular, we should lower the timeframe from 20 down to 10 for items such as general medicine, epi-pen, equipment, etc. At the very least, move it to the first 10 years from anybody, and then the second 10 years only from imports.
The 2 exceptions need to be vaccines and most of all, antibiotics. We need to give real reason for development of both vaccine/antibiotics, rather than drugs that treat symptoms, or items that simplify life such as epipen.
you might look at the fact that it was more than 5 years ago (written 4 years ago, but based on data from 6 years ago), and panels have changed due to those issues.
Now, the chinese panels continue to make use of rare earth, but not a big deal except for those that buy them.
Thankfully, SOlar city and several other companies here in the west are not making use of those.
no, they CHOOSE to burn coal. It was not needed.
For example, if you hire somebody to protect you and then run around just murdering ppl off the street, are you responsible?
Nope.
China gov and businesses are choosing to burn coal for their electricity. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with their working to pull manufacturing over there.
Hopefully, instead, we will implement a tax on ALL CONSUMED GOODS/SERVICES based on what state/nations the worst CO2 comes from.
All that needs to happen is that we need OCO3 to have precise (not necessarily accurate; just precise is what is needed) measurements between states/nations, along with normalizing based on emissions / $ GDP.
With this, America raises the tax on the emissions/$GDP. This will force all nations to drop their emission over time, or lose their export market. In addition, it will benefit those nations that have low emission / $ GDP.
you might want to look at the age of that article.
Wind turbines made in AMerica and Europe along with a number of the EVs such as Tesla are AC based, and do not have magnets.
Chinese MADE has a lot of rare earth, but that is because they now control a lot of the market.
this has nothing to do with larger GDP/capita.
This has EVERYTHING to do with how to stop the CO2. The fact is, that it is not you and I that are in control.
And I say that knowing that I have already brought my familes emissions WELL BELOW WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL INDIAN emits.
We have a tesla, bikes, 10 KW solar city system (which generates more than what my family uses), and keeps our trash low.
I doubt that YOU have done close to this much, since it is likely my family is pretty much at zero co2/year.
china's factories have NOTHING to do with their choosing of coal. That is just plain BS. They have the ability to add nuclear power, but do not want to do so since it would be from a nation that they would have to depend on.
They could choose to spend all of the money that goes to coal plants on AE, but they are choosing to NOT do that. The reason is that coal is MUCH cheaper and more effective there, esp when they remove pollution controls.
These are choices that CHina's gov and businesses choose to do.
It is no different than America choosing to do nat gas and wind for the last 6-7 years. >
And if you want to speak of GDP, well, America is doing loads of work for China on our GDP, and we do it for less than half of the emissions.
All because our gov and businesses choose to do things cleaner.
you know, sadly, ppl like you speak often without even looking at the issues.
In terms of emissions / $GDP, MOST 3rrd world nations are in the middle to the low end of emissions / $GDP. IOW, they will actually come out ahead.
OTOH, nations that are working hard to cheat at production by manipulating their money, going to cheap coal, oil, etc, without pollution controls, dumping heavy pollution on the world (for example, 80-90% of the plastic in the oceans comes from south-east asia with the majority being china who dumps their garbage in the ocean), picking up the worst from the west, etc will lose, while nations that clean up or are poor economically, will actually do better.
And this will prevent businesses from simply jumping from nation to nation looking for whomever will cheat. Afterall, those nations will have a large tax on their exports, which will make it worthless for businesses to go there.
OTOH, for states/nations that do not cheat, and clean up, or already have low emissions / $GDP (say france, sweden, etc), they will join nations like Chad in not having a tax on their exported goods/services. Note that if those goods grabbed parts from China, then those items will be accessed at China's rate (which would be 100% tax), instead of at sweden's. However, if the item was composed of parts from say sweden, chad, france, and say California, it would be zero% tax.
ah nope.
In POF, EVs in China will only make things worse there. They get 80-85% of their electricity from coal. Worse yet, they purposely leave off pollution controls. As such, things will get WORSE in China, not better.
Now with that said, in most parts of the world, EVs will actually improve things.
has nothing to do with solar panels or wind turbines. Few of them really use rare earth. That was all about a gov that pushes the heavy pollution so that they can destroy western companies and then have a monopoly.

why would that put us at a disadvantage? It would not.

As it is, tesla/solar city continues to push all to stay connected to the grid. Now, he wants to separate? Big mistake.

uh no.
Coal is MUCH dirtier than Gasoline. Thankfully, the only nation that has to worry about this is China.
Far better to simply implement a VAT on the production and services and be done with it.

what facts are never discussed?
And what is madness?
relative to coal,no, they are NOT ramping up AE. China is STILL growing their coal each year MORE than AE.

When you do not know it is a problem, it is not fair to blame them. Once known , and u continue to grow it, then you are to blame.
