Look, it's all well and good to say in 12 years you'll start to have an 80 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), but what the EU needs is a 2020 120 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard.
What is the difference?
Four things:
1. Eliminate all tax deductions, tax exemptions, tax incentives, and tax subsidies for all fossil fuel energy. Period. Including depreciation.
2. Require 120 percent of all net new energy use be renewables. That means for every KWHr you add, you have to remove 20 percent of fossil fuel power plants. With zero exceptions. And 100 percent of all the new energy must be the far cheaper wind and solar energy infrastructure, instead of the more expensive coal and natural gas and oil usage today.
3. Remove all street parking for diesel vehicles. All of it. In every municipality of more than 1000 people. This includes garages and malls.
4. Ban all exports of fossil fuel infrastructure worldwide. No exceptions.
Do that and you'll only have massive heat waves and flooding that kill thousands of people, instead of millions of people.
No, it really means the 23 states that are meeting and exceeding the Kyoto and Paris Accords are doing it well, and growing their GDP fast.
Like the entire West, Texas, and the Northeast.
It's the rest of the country that are failing. Both at job creation and at using much cheaper renewables, which are cheaper than both coal and natural gas are.
Adapt. Because you're the areas that get the greatest negative impacts. Most of us will be fine.
Emissions are being measured worldwide. Exporting them just extends the emissions chain, using the standard cradle (mining/extraction) to grave (use/disposal) methodology.
The article this thread belongs to talks about worldwide emissions increasing. Exporting only increases emissions.
I'm describing usage. A PS4 can be used as a network console (PSN), a game console (what most geeks think of), a media player (for movies or music), and it has built in high end graphics engines. I mostly use mine as a media player and as a game console.
A lot of this is not just game usage, but people using the devices as their Internet and TV portals. It's why the cable firms are freaking out - mass defections to high speed internet only with HDTV antennae to get local content.
Naturally, this only works in cities or places within range of decent Internet, but rural folks are just plain unprofitable to serve via traditional methods.
Pretty sure places without cop shops tend not to have it. Not everyone is big city like you are. Some of my classmates died in a massive mudslide a few years back, the nearest town in BC was 20 km away. They used satellite. For everything.
When I lived north of Kaslo BC we were on a party line. Fun times!
A lot of the areas near power generation - like hydro dams and wind farms - use the power lines to provide high speed internet, but you have to live near the power cables. Not everyone is hooked up to the grid.
Actually, some First Nations areas ban MJ stores. If you were Canadian, you'd know that.
I think you're confusing postal delivery to remote areas, which is normally by plane, and sometimes they have to airdrop the mail or supplies due to weather and ground/sea conditions.
Same things impact providing high speed internet. If it's not from satellites, it's not going to happen.

There was a reason they redirected all the streams through Russia and China.
Nobody ever said you need to own a house to get married.
Nobody ever said you need $20,000 to get married.
A basic wedding can be done for around $300. Today.
Stop believing the marketroids. Even the ring is optional. Have a park picnic wedding, it's fun!

Who do you think is exporting all those fossil fuels?
It's not Iceland.
And yet, if you actually read the report, you'll see that the impact will be most severe in the South. Try actually reading the report.
Look, nobody wants to tell you guys, but most of the US emissions are from two sources:
1. Drilling and extraction of fossil fuels from US National Parks (25 percent of US emissions)
2. Inefficient Southern States. Most of which still use expensive fossil fuels. Wind and solar are both cheaper. yes, cheaper than natural gas.
Look at the actual report, you'll see Texas and the West are already meeting and exceeding the Paris Accord goals. It's not us. It's you.
Most young people are totally disinterested in anything that has Facebook controlling it.
It was invented as a "crime" in the Deep South, as a way to imprison African-Americans, who frequently could not post bail, and force labor from them.
It still exists for the exact same reason.
Hasn't been published in a peer reviewed scientific journal, probably another fake.
America is here to be looted by the 1 percent, at the expense of the 99 percent, it's all part of the Kaiser's plan.

And, yes, I also have an xBox.
Oh.
Wait.
Hmm, maybe not.

Most likely because he's going to push the Internet over power lines solution, which runs at about that speed.
Can't let the rural folks get their hands on Internet 3 with our 100GB ports at most major sites and 40GB ports in almost every building, after all.
signifying no real broadband delivered to people for the most part

It comes with laptop maintenance, even if you don't ask for it.

Only works if you're in a big town.
A lot of people aren't.
No, a lot of phone lines are from renewable energy and diesel generators allowing satellite phone uplinks. Canada is big.
No, bigger.

Look, right now polar bears are eating people in the North.
No, I'm not kidding. They can't hunt on the ice, due to climate change, so they're eating people.
You want high-speed internet? It has to be provided by satellite. Can't run a cable 2000 km for one family.
It's part of why Yellowknife literally is running out of food. As we speak.
