1. We do have workable fusion reactors. They were developed here, and are now in use in places we're not supposed to talk about. How do you think we power those weapons systems? You will not see them in commercial use before 2040, they're still being worked on. Kind of like fax machines and laptops, which existed in non-commercial usage way before they were in commercial usage.
2. Fission reactors are an absolute nightmare on the cradle to 250,000 year grave cycle, and a security nightmare. Stop. Just stop.
3. It's easy to replace fossil fuel energy today:
A. Implement 120 percent Renewable Portfolio Standards for every nation and state and province. For every new KWHr you need you have to decommission 20 percent existing grandfathered fossil fuel energy, and all new energy is renewables. If you mix renewables (many scientific papers show this) you get a power yield curve that closely matches the actual energy usage. It also makes you resilient and easier to recover from massive storms, massive floods, and other natural disasters.
B. End all tax subsidies for all fossil fuels: depreciation, exemptions, exclusions, incentives, fleet requirements. Period. No exceptions.
C. Stop whining. It's actually cheaper to use renewables than fossil fuels. It's why the West Coast is a cheap energy powerhouse. Adapt. Wind and solar jobs are way better than coal mining.
Salmon and other species are also being moved to places that will eventually be like their original locations. Sometimes you have to realize that change happens, and adapt.
Your price point is way too high. When you set your initial market price too high, your sales plummet. Since it really costs a very small fraction to actually make the phone, you reduce the price.
This isn't rocket science. Just classic economics.
A large quantity of patriotic native born Americans, who are millenials, are impacted by this. I personally know of quite a few that had been considering work in data security and in intelligence or law enforcement services for the US who are affected.
How can you trust people when they throw you under the bus because they don't want to look foolish?
Um, guy, I live on the West Coast. We are doing something. That's why the carbon emissions impacts of buildings are dropping, due to new techniques, and where the basic science of using marine reefs to sequester carbon in clams and oysters while providing edible food and oil from the seagrass and seaweed planted amongst it comes from. And why the costs of renewable energies like solar and wind and tidal energy keep dropping.
Most of us have between 20 and 100 percent Renewable Portfolio Standards for our new energy plants, which is also why our electricity is so much cheaper than the rest of the country is. Renewables are cheaper. Without artificial tax policies, fossil fuels can't even compete in the market against non-subsidized renewable energy since around 2010.
The markets and science care nothing about your views. They don't even care about your sunk costs fallacies.
Eliminate all depreciation, deductions, exclusions, and grandfathering of all fossil fuels, from extraction to use, and add all cleanup as a cost.
It's called a market - you have to capture both Goods and Bads to actually have a working Capitalist economy. Letting people pollute for free has costs, specifically in dead kids.
I literally just went with my son to the Butterfly Preserve that's located in Goleta, near Isla Vista (think UCSB). No butterfly sightings. The flowers were not in bloom.
Let's hope people realize milkweed has a purpose, just as mixed crops in farms and hedgerows are what sustain bees.
Over Christmas vacation, I saw my eight year old nephew use Google to avoid parental blocking on YouTube videos his parents didn't want him to watch, and use ever more creative ways to even hack my sister's phone to do the same thing.
Also with trucks. My brother just bought a GM truck that gets 36 mpg. It was 2 years old. He paid half what it would cost for a new model and he'll drive it for 10 years or more. Oh, but it doesn't have (insert feature nobody in my family cares about)...
Me, I'm waiting to buy the Rivian off-road plug-in electric truck with a 410 mile range (820 if you buy a spare battery), perfect for hunting fishing taking the dog. It's for rural folks who build and repair wind turbines and solar arrays, so it's not designed for urban truck users who have no idea what a truck is for.

Refusing to respond means they can send the Capitol police to arrest him, and drag him to the hearing.
Just do it.
If he refuses to speak,, lock him up until he does.
It's within the power of Congress.

Linux, here we come!
(no, seriously, that's exactly what we're doing with our few remaining Win 7 PCs, replacing them with Linux blade servers)
they can pry it from my cold dead hands.
Salmon and other species are also being moved to places that will eventually be like their original locations. Sometimes you have to realize that change happens, and adapt.
Given that originally they were present in many other locations, it's more like reintroducing a species
Did you know that the Intelligence Community and law enforcement are entirely funded? Not one of them is off because of this "shutdown".
So, uh, no. You don't personally know anyone in "intelligence or law enforcement" that was affected.
Except maybe some janitors.
Security clearances are not being done. You can't be hired or promoted or suborned to a useful position without one.
I know quite a lot about this, as a former SME who could declassify and reclassify information.

Sell it for $500.

Which probably has something to do with their GDP being so large and their population being so large.
That and all the campfires.

Due to melting of ice. Man, these deniers have no idea how to even mix drinks.
It's either showing up in floods, storms, and the like, or it's getting stored somewhere, sunshine.
Science doesn't care about your denial.
Enjoy coastal flooding and more severe weather patterns!
It is not the actual cost, it's the fact they monetize your viewing to deliver ads to you.
Just say no.
Does nobody read history any more.
Sold my soul to the company store.
(Caveat: I have lived in places with company stores and know many people who have apprenticed, and have even helped set up apprenticeship programs)

There. Fixed.

Give me a call when they sell for a reasonable price. Even OLED HDTV and 4K TVs dropped in price.
Early adopters always get burnt.
(caveat: I still own a Rio MP3 player I bought for $1000)
The only way to remove drones is to cease life services for the drone operators.
Call in the SAS.
A shame, but if they jack up my costs, I'll just pull the plug and get free HDTV from my HDTV antenna at 1080p resolution.
Virtually all terrorists come in via plane and sea, the remainder drive from inside the US.

Be careful what you ask for.
My life is over!!!!!
Best advice ever: don't ever buy kids anything other than a flip phone and set it so it can't send texts
We have strong constitutional rights of privacy here.
Wonder if I should give the State Attorney General a call?

Yes, it has a winch. You need that.
