Yet, we can have phone banks of volunteers making (like they do now) hundreds of thousands of calls, following a "script" that is proven 90% effective at convincing people on the other end to vote for your candidate. Or imagine a TV commercial. Or mass mailer. Or... How is this different than those other things?
Your inner bigot is showing! Since you're so terrified of media other than MSNBC/CNN, here's the letter plainly stating it has not been signed. But you'll probably ignore this as well, since it runs counter to your pre-conceived conclusions.
A closed mind is a wasted mind, you really should do better than bitch about the messenger. Sad.
Ahh, it's the messenger not the message? If you were at least curious to look, you would have seen an actual letter - on State Department letterhead - explaining it has NOT been signed. Proof is there - if you are willing to actually look at it. But I guess if it's not on CNN (who gave debate questions to Hillary, so you know they're fair and balanced) it's not real?
Well, given that electric rates are regulated by the same State that is now mandating new builds to have solar panels - they will be wherever the State decides is appropriate and "good" for the environment.
A "mortgage" on $10K, at 4% interest, is about $48 per month for 30 years. I live in Ventura, and my power bill runs about $100 every 2 months. So this system would MAYBE break-even if it could completely replace my entire power usage. And it never degrades nor breaks over time. And is 100% available (like the power company). Otherwise it's a cost adder.
Provided. Note this article is about 5 months AFTER the supposed signing happened, and it was the Kerry State Department which confirmed it was never signed by the Iranians.
The reality is that the Iranians never signed up. They did NOT sign the agreement. The ONLY signatory was President Obama. He (rather, Secretary Kerry) negotiated it, signed it, gave it to them, they ignored it, and he said "all right! Let's start executing on it and fully abide by it!" There was NO sign-up by the Iranians. This is a lot of angst over a wish by President Obama that literally no one approved or even agreed to.
What land war has President Trump started? We know that President Obama started a few, screwed others up... But President Trump? Seems to have de-escalated the Korean peninsula, finished off ISIS in Iraq, and actually acted appropriately with regards to Syria.
Apparently it can be economic at $50/barrel. The reality is - we do have the ability to meet 100% of our own petroleum needs for a few centuries, we choose to use oil from predominantly Canada, Mexico, and ourselves (we get very little from the Middle East; most of that goes to Europe and Asia). But we do have the resources here, already.
NK has had nuclear weapons since 2006. What's changed isn't their possession of nuclear weapons, but a US President willing to stand up to them, and their benefactor/sole supporter, China.
Yes, a SINGLE geophysicist's opinion piece in Slate magazine claims it doesn't work; let's ignore all the other references in that section that say it can, the dozens of others who say it can and even include cost projections to get it working.
Prior to the change in approach to North Korea, they were completely ignoring the agreement. War and domination of the South was the only thing they talked about, and missile launches at Japan were a regular occurrence. Now - at the negotiating table, working on completely eliminating all traces of nuclear weapons and ICBMs. Seems to me it worked - and that means our promises/threats before weren't credible - but now they are.
Lots of data about submariners and CO2 - where typical levels are 4000 PPM or higher. Not a problem if it's "only" 2500 PPM.
Now, heat? Never mentioned in this thread until now, but consider elephants, rhinos, and other large land mammals (giraffes, etc) who survive daily at 30+ deg C temperatures. Maybe they move their habitat a few hundred miles North or South, but exist - they definitely can.
OK, we've lost credibility with some of our allies; we've gained credibility with some of our opponents like North Korea, China, Syria, and others. I'm OK having Germany and France tut-tut us, if we can bring North Korea, Iran, and China to the bargaining table and solve some real issues.

Nah, it's about 2500 square feet, 3 bed/3 bath, two story, 2 car garage. Pretty normal for my neighborhood.
An opportunity cost analysis still favors solar panels. Consider that electricity rates since the 60's have grown 8% per year, on average.
So they grow about the same as the DJIA, historically. Meaning it's a push like it is today.
How is this different than a dozen different automated processes we already use, other than it does things via voice rather than text?
Your tolerance and understanding is amazing! Enjoy life in your little, safe bubble!

So where did the pressure come from? I assume you don't want to admit it was President Trump - but it was, President Trump.
Well, given that electric rates are regulated by the same State that is now mandating new builds to have solar panels - they will be wherever the State decides is appropriate and "good" for the environment.
So - the pressure was from President Obama? Or the Nobel Peace Prize committee? Peter Rabbit? Who pressured China?

Excuse me, WHO signed what agreement? What binding agreement was set with Iran?
You didn't see anything until you get that hair out of your eyes...

They did? Why do you think China has pushed North Korea to talk? Because of pressure from the current President. Why didn't it happen in the past?

Exactly. Terrible that President Obama would make a promise he KNEW wouldn't be kept...
