That the close followers behind China already outnumber China... and if you look at the big picture, the main trade partner is just a slow fraction of the total trade.
You must have misread the data. US carbon intensity is below world average, comparable to the Netherlands and Hungary. Then I still misread it. I don't see such a relation. And as carbon intensity is a meaningless metric, I don't understand what you want to point out. When the value of the dollar drops, the intensity of the US goes up. If Netherlands simply doubles all its prices it doubles its GPD, and halfs its carbon intensity that way.
let's adopt government policies that keep our workers employed domestically The government has nothing to do with that. Companies decide by themselves how much it is worth and how much it costs to replace high skilled workers in Germany (or other EU countries) with untrained workers e.g. in China or Indonesia.
The reason why you might not want to do that is because eventually, other countries do the same thing, free trade collapses Free trade is not restricted by that. As I said before: you need a market somewhere. Making a car $1000 cheaper still only mean you can only sell it where people live that accept such a price. If the old market is gone, you have to find new markets with new costs and problems.
You may notice that Trump got elected on, among other things, getting tough on Europeans; this is why. Yeah, and everything he did so far back fired. If America does no longer want to buy German cars, we sell them in the emerging markets.
It is one of the most heavily trafficked stretches of ocean in the world Actually I do:D
And I already told you several posts back: you don't know what the term base load actually means.
Every plant that feeds "all power it produces" fully into the grid is feeding base load. The other plants are load following... and wind and solar is not load following.
Actually it is not. The place is close to empty to those areas that really have dense shipping routes. At the moment of me writing this, there are just a few dozen ships. Of course you have to zoom into the area manually. Compare it with the Mediterranean Sea or West Africa or the street of Malacca.
In Germany all panels have warranties starting at 30 years. Regardless of manufacturer. Your degrading numbers are way way off.
After 25 - 30 years basically all known solar panel (PV) technologies are at a capacity around or above 80% : http://energyinformative.org/l...
There was a study recently from an dismantled small solar plant in either Sweden or Norway, don't remember. While a few cells failed mechanically, the whole installation was still above 80% capacity: after being out in the field in harsh weather for about 25 years.
Feet and Hands are in cold water extremely efficient cooling helps.
And your evidence you can simply find yourself, next time you feel hot get big enough bucket of water that you can put both feet into it and try it yourself.
Three or four weeks ago I wanted to set up an account with them. The field where you enter your qualifications takes only about 10 topics... that is not even 10% of my qualifications... totally pointless for me.
Since the midâ'1990s, Monsanto indicates that it has filed suit against 145 individual U.S. farmers for patent infringement and/or breach of contract in connection with its genetically engineered seed but has proceeded through trial against only eleven farmers, all of which it won
145 is not a small number, and considering that none of them actually did anything wrong it was only a killing spray of Monstanto.
Actually the theory is that methane from methane hydrate from the ground and/or fresh water "sinkholes" cause the trouble. OTOH there was no plane loss since roughly 1955... No idea if ships/planes avoid the area... Nevertheless the old stories are interesting reads, as many pilots, regardless of ship or plane, made super stupid mistakes.
This is "carbon intensity", did you really mean that? And it is not sorted... glancing over it, it is as expected, the US are the leading polluter. No idea why you think otherwise.
Germany allready has high carbon taxes. No car manufacturer dared to move production to e.g. Africa or China. After all german cars are bought by Germans, too. Why would I trade 10,000 unemployed for a car that is $1000 cheaper when I lose half my traditional buyers?
Everything provides baseload. If it is planned to be a base load plant. Wind and solar are by definition base load plants, as they are not dispatchable, but orchestrate the remaining fleet of plants around them. In France ~half the nuclear plants are not base load plants... even with the artificial high base load there, they don't have enough base load to run all nukes as base load plants.
Panals have a warranty of 30 years, if you replace them before 50 years you should have a good reason. And then: you recycle them, can't be so hard to grasp.
Silicon, pure, is not really so rare. But the expectations on its pureness, especially for chips, increased. So the industry is looking fore purer and purer "sand", that is rare. Ordinary sand we have plenty.
Panels on the roof of a house provide shadow, they don't cause need for more cooling. Strange that your panels lose so much power when "warmed" a bit, why don't you buy modern state of the art panels instead of junk? That would spare us a lot of your misinformed posts. BTW: if I had AC, the summer temperature would probably 24C in my house. I really don't like to wear a suit or a long sleeved shirt in summer and change dress to get outside.

Yeah, 145 is not small ... we are talking here about people, I think that is quite an amount.
That is why you read the article, decide for your self and/or follow the references.
Can't be so hard.
Seems you are also super dumb.

In South Europe: everyone does that!

The field where you enter your qualifications takes only about 10 topics
For a nation like China, which never build their own carrier, but bought a nearly finished one from Russia, it might.
Perhaps you should learn what "waste" is and what "waste" is and what kind of "waste" the LFTR49 reactor actually burns ...
Hint: it does not burn radioactive steel.
You could learn all this by simply reading the links you provided ....
That is what they say, but why would that be the case? it makes no sense ...
Actually Wikipedia disagrees: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

if we are indeed at the start of a quiet period of solar activity ...
The sun is in a "minimum" since about 15 years
Actually the theory is that methane from methane hydrate from the ground and/or fresh water "sinkholes" cause the trouble. ... ...
OTOH there was no plane loss since roughly 1955
No idea if ships/planes avoid the area
