Looking at China and India while EACH are increasing their emissions faster than the entire west can drop theirs, is a joke.
As it is, America's emission in another 4 years will be well below where it is today. And that is in spite of Trump.
But, CHina and India's emissions will continue to grow.
In fact, I am going to guess that America's emissions will likely be down another 10% from where it is today. This will be due to EVs, esp Tesla, taking off, but also coal-based electricity will drop to around 22-23% from its current 28-29%. Now that is not as much of a drop as what happened in the 8 years of obama, but there is a HUGE difference. MOST of the coal in America was being replaced by nat gas plants. For the last couple of years, the coal plants have really been replaced with wind. IOW, 8 years ago, coal was replaced by nat gas which is about 50% of the CO2, while wind will replace it fully. So, this 8% drop, will be equal to a 16% drop under O's term.
Btw, we run a 10 kw solar system, along with own a 2013 85 model S. We are also looking at switching to geo-thermal HVAC.
I know our emissions are well below not only Chinese , but even below average European. So nothing filthy here.
Yet, based on the fact that you do not know or understand the issues with co2 emissions, I will guess that you have done little to solve your emissions. IOW, you are the filthy and stupid American.
So, ICE sales are dropping all over the world,but EVs, esp Tesla, are rising fast.
I have to wonder if the car makers executives will understand that they really have to jump on this and make changes NOW.
in POF, American emissions are down even further, while CHina's has actually gone up.
And it is obvious that ppl like you do not really care about the environment or CO2, just want to be dicks.
I think it's time you update your prejudice. China is doing more to stem emissions than most of the west while still rising out of poverty and increasing its energy demand at the same time. Compared to the USA it's CO2 emissions per person are far lower. Investment in renewables dwarf the USA, as does production of renewable energy sources.
So much BS here.
1) China's electrify is around 82-85% from coal. Because china is adding 30-50 GW of NEW COAL PLANTS each year, while at the same time, adding less than 30 GW of wind/solar/hydro/nukes each year, they will actually maintain OR increase their emissions from coal by 2030. In fact, right now, they are around 1.1 TW of coal-powered electricity. In 2030, they are projecting to be ~ 1.75 TW. IOW, China will add more coal plants in the next 13 years, than America and EU28 can cut because together, we are less than 500 GW TODAY.
Yet, idiots are worried about a nation that emits less than 14%, and is dropping fast.
Nope, smart people are worrying about idiots who rest on their laurels while the rest of the world is investing in solving the problem. The idiots here are the USA, comfortable in the fact that their emissions are only 14% of the total due to the abuse of a statistic that ignores the fact that they are the 3rd largest emitter per person in the world and more than double that of China. Then these idiots (I'm talking about you here) will claim that they are dropping fast abusing the same statistic which when realised per capita actually puts you pretty damn far down on the list of countries solving the problem.
Per person you are performing worse than China. Per person you are solving the problem slower than China.
From behalf of the rest of the world: Fuck you for even daring to compare yourself to a country like China who are actually making an effort.
America continues to develop the majority of AE that is going on. Far far more than China does. FOr example, the vast majority of the companies in China that do solar, were basically stolen from the US to China.
In addition, idiots, like you, will use emissions per capita as a line which is a joke. In the first case, America has NEVER been in the top 3 per capita. Many other nations emit a lot more than America does, in Per capita.
We regularly rate in the top 10-15, but top 3? Nope. As it is, America's per capita continues to drop, while China's grows massively. They are just under America as it is
But, per capita is about the worst normalization going. WHy? Because ppl in general do not decide what plants utilities will use. Basically, gov and businesses decide this. As such, emissions per $ GDP (real) is a superior measure. And it turns out that America was in the middle, with China at the bottom clear back in 200*s time. Now, America is in the top 25% for low emission, while China remains in the bottom 5 nations.
parts of it was made in a nation that CHOSE and CONTINUES TO CHOOSE to use Coal for the majority of their electricity.
In fact, in America, coal has dropped from 60% of our electricity and is now down below 28%, and by end (start?) of 2018, we will be below 22% coal.
That will mean that we will be well below 200 GW or less than 1/5 of a TW.
China is at 1.1 TW JUST OF COAL. In addition, they continue to add 30-50 GW of new coal EACH YEAR. Even with the projects that they stopped, those were above and beyond the planned 30-50 GW. By 2030, China is claiming that they will be at ~1.75 TW of coal.
So, what choices did YOUR nation make? If you live in Germany, you continue to add new coal plants. But here in America, we have not added new coal in several years, but have dropped more than 250 GW over the last 9 years.
FH is plenty powerful to send loads to the moon. I never suggested that it would be 1 shot, but multiples. Nobody with knowledge would even make a wild claim like that.
However masten/nasa are busy working on xeus to be able to put either aces with 30 tonnes or a ba330 on the moon.
FH can put a ba330, and maybe even say a ba 1200, into orbit. Likewise, it can put plenty of fuel into leo. In fact, it would be possible to put a modified FH stage 2 into orbit to act as a cheap tug for pushing a ba unit decked out to the moon.
From there, a lunar cycler can be established for moving humans and cargo around.
sadly, you are neither honest, now knowledgeable.
It was CONgress, specifically, the house and the GOP within it, that pushed that abortion. O was opposed BUT went along with with.
As to the dems backing this, a MINORITY of them in both the senate and the house did push it. Ppl such as nelson,along with the bitch from maryland.
BUT, all in all, the SLS has been MASSIVELY pushed by you GOP nightmares.
In addition, it was the GOP esp in the house that gutted private space. Yes, COTS was started under W. But COTS was to have HSF, which your neo-cons/tea* fought to kill off in hopes of using the ghoulish SLS. Not a SINGLE DEM, other than the maryland bitch, voted for that. It was ppl like my CONgress critters COffman, along with buck, that pushed to gut space.
Now, why do I know this? Because I used to work with NASA and still pay attention. It is obvious that GOP abortions such as yourself does not care about facts,only that your party be made to look good.
And finally, I am registered Libertarian. I view both of the 2 major parties with dicks like you as being the nightmare to America.
Before SLS.
Seriously, it is time for spacex to work with Bigelow to get funding to send a habitat to the lunar surface followed by a crew of 3-4 to stay there for 1-4 weeks.
It should be possible.
We changed ( or are changing ) the laws so that the Intel world can not spy on the internet without a warrent. This is a horrible mistake. Basically, anything that is sent and/or stored in clear text, should be open game just like it is for Russia, China, etc. Think of a postcard, which anybody can read.
Otoh, if content and transmission are encrypted, that I'd just like a letter. At that point, it needs a warrent to open.
LOL.
Sorry bill, but you have this one wrong. Due to net metering, the wind generators are now cheaper than coal WITHOUT net metering. And with the new wind generators (10 MW and bigger up to 20 MW), these will be cheaper than everything, except for geo-thermal (which has the lowest costs going).
Solar is dropping in price, and we need to actually use that to our advantage.
I live in COlorado which is one of the hail capitals in America. We have replaced the roof 2x in 8 or 10 years.
Come the next hail storm where we lose our hail resistant shingles again, we will replace with this.
we have replaced our roof 2x in the last 8-10 years.
I think that it was replaced as well in the 4 year prior.
Why? HAIL.
If we get hail again to the point, where we need a new re-roofing, we will switch to this.
It is cheaper than metal or tiled roofs and supposed to hold up better.
And like our insurance company, we are tired of paying for new roofs.
We need to use it a bit longer to get multiple companies going with vetted habitats.
But, let it go in 2024, or sooner to any other American private company that wants to run it.
Seriously, this needs to be on an incline so that they camera is looking at the ceiling and top part of a wall.
But, I hope that Google is smart enough to create a clone in which the camera and display are separate.
IBM is no doubt just doing this in America and maybe Europe. They are hoping to gut the western employees. That is why I no longer even consider an IBM product or service.
In American, the USPO handles passports. As such, they are used to making sure that these ppl are who they claim to be.
As such, I have been pushing through manager levels to get them to start handling User Certificates.
This is not just useful for buying, but twitter,facebook, even slashdot could treat positively IDed ppl different than those that are true ACs.
The hard part is getting a group that knows how to handle IDs, as well as has offices all over the US.
Seriously, America needs an assortment of educated ppl. Not just white collar, but blue collar.
As such, we need to make community colleges free (based on grades), not just to vets, but those that have graduated recently, as well as those that were laid off.
yeah, but so what? Trump can be in favor of ANYTHING, and as you have seen so far, he has accomplished NONE of his promises. That esp includes bringing back coal jobs. How many utilities do you think are going to switch to coal when it is the MOST expensive electricity going? NONE.
Then we have Tesla pushing EVs in America. By end of 2018, it is a near certainty that America will have about 1/2 of all the electric vehicles in the world. WHy? Because Tesla will have sold about 2/3 of their stock here, and they will no doubt be around.5-1 M / year by end of 2018. At that point, we will see ICE cars going downwards in numbers. IN additon, our diesel train by Burlington northern is switching to nat gas and will be done by 5 years from now (supposedly 3, but do not count on it). That is 5% of our diesel that we burn. So, they will convert to nat gas and clean it up, while lowering their costs.
Slashdot Mirror
and 2 junk EVs, combined with a gas burning hybrid has what to do with good EV sales rising, while gas burners go down?

What an idiot Iger is. He continues to outsource more and more of the company and then is surprised that it is being cracked.

In fact, even in per capita, America continues DOWNWARD, while CHina continues upwards.
And one reason why you idiots LOVE to use 10 year old data, or just make wild claims with nothing to back it up, is that America continues to lower our output, while Europe and CHina continue to grow theirs.
