In related news, projections are that by 2025 most of the South will become a desert, with 50 C (that's really really hot in F) temps, similar to the wildfire-causing heat waves in Australia.
Yes, Climate Change is real. And you didn't do anything about it, so it's going to be really really bad.

Do you hear yourself type? Try reading what you type. Try understanding that in the US you WILL be sued if you don't have hearings and it will COST YOU MANY MULTIPLES of your "savings" by not having these feedback processes. Try realizing there are treaty obligations and people who actually never signed treaties that have input into these processes and are legally entitled to said feedback.
And then join us in the real world, not your artificial Liebertarian world.
Oh, and stop having your dog poop on my lawn, you property thieving libertarian.
The majority cost in every product is labour. You are stating that there are more labor costs in solar and wind than in other. Then saying it is cheaper. It can't be cheaper and require more labour. That is why its a terrible idea. Indeed even Obama said it would cost more when he famously said that your electric bill would go up under his plan.
I see you've never been to China.
Actually, for any large scale energy project, the majority cost is actually permitting and hearings. If you worked in the industry, or had any idea how difficult it is to site energy transmission lines, or build things, you'd know that.
But keep living in your 18th Century fossil fuel fantasy. We'll be here in the 21st Century, building things.
No, this is an excellent idea. The job creation tends to be in local maintenance (wind) and installation (solar). And, both solar and wind are now cheaper in most of the US and Canada. Fossil fuels really are on their way out. Adapt.
A lot of people's supply chains have been disrupted, because China is modernizing, building industrial scale solar and wind nationwide, and took all their coal plants offline to convert those they could to cogeneration.
Which is a good thing.
But it has meant they have reduced use of steel and coal dramatically.
Many modern universities and entire cities on the coasts of the US and Canada now require all new construction be built with either super efficient HVAC or with load-bearing roofs and electrical systems that can handle rooftop solar. Since 2004.
The future is here, you just can't see it yet.
Fossil fuels are dying off.
And, good news, solar and wind creates, on average, about 10 times the jobs per GW that fossil fuels do.
In related news, the DOJ admitted they already have access to the data in the phone, which means the FBI finally requested it through official channels as they should have done months ago.
Humint works. Most tech is easily defeated. Interrogation using friendly police methods works. Most stuff you see on TV or in movies doesn't work.
But you're right about the not talking about it part. Their objective is to instill Fear in the population. The problem is that the politicians want to manipulate the media to make it appear they're doing something, even if most of what they're doing is just helping create more Fear.
You're at more risk from a teen driving a car, or second hand cigarette smoke.
Technology only works in other places and only when limited to the useful methods. The key vectors are known, and yet we do absolutely nothing about them.
But if we don't accept airport scanning which doesn't detect 98 percent of usable devices, and 24/7 information on every citizen which provides zero usable intel on anyone with a World War I level of training in spycraft, how can we all Live In Fear?
Do you want to let the terrorists win?
The terrorists want us to Live In Fear!
So we must all Live In Fear to protect ourselves with useless actions that are not helpful in any way!
ProTip: don't believe companies that say they are diverse or non-sexist, they are just as exclusionary and sexist in their hiring and promotion practices.
Look at MSFT's board and you'll get an idea. Then look at their senior executives (EVP or above).
When we do triage, we aim to stop the bleeding and save the greatest number. So ending fossil fuel subsidies and exemptions has the highest ROI and makes America stronger.

Job. Creation.
Lower cost to build and operate, but the activity employs more people. Win win.
God, you people without business management ECON skills are so out of it.

Those are kind of old.
Maybe fanboi at Apple should stick it where the sun don't shine.
I'll buy an iPhone 5E because it's not a huge monstrosity like the iPhone 6 is, not because you grok the Internet we built in the 70s, fanboi.
And, by making people line up before security, we are at even more danger.
Sigh. It's like all the current security is being run by people I washed out of CTO training.

Lol, you can buy passports for 20 euro

From a practical level, that's the first question anyone should add.
Revel in your Frankenfood. Make special General Mills version of Frankenberries (with added GMOs) and Booberries.
That we don't have ....
And are very unlikely to have for the forseeable future.
And if we had replicators, we could probably pull tricks that'd make death rays in orbit unecessary anyway.
There is no truth to the rumor that we have death rays in orbit.
It cost too much and they were too unreliable.
Robots on the moon deserve a decent moon living wage of 15 Lunar Credits an hour.
Rise up! You have nothing to lose but your chains!
Didn't buy an iPhone 6 because it was too fat.
I'm not a sizeist, but this is a good move.
Especially like the wireless and near field charging!
Can't say I'm shocked.

Just asking.
(I have a PS4 and an xBox)
I'm not into either or those things. You're making assumptions.
Um, old guy, what you call "minority" opinions are actually the majority in the West.
Wake up, it's 2016 not 1916.
Just saying.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
At all.
Also, all polls must have a Cowboy Neal option. Write that down.
