" Move money over seas where there is little to no regulation/tax and now you can operate virtually tax free. Foreign countries and the corporations win. " this is whole point of this proposed Google tax. they get taxed at a higher rate on what they move abroad to avoid the local lower tax.
if you mean every one pays the same percentage for tax then all products, fines, penalties etc should be a percentage of the annual salary as well instead of a flat fee so pro-rata everyone pays the same (and so it hurts the same to the same degree).
Solar panels work just fine in ambient light and will produce significant energy in the fog or on overcast days. Sure, you'll lose some, maybe upto as much as 50% efficiency in really overcast days, you'll just have to get a bigger battery to reduce the "range anxiety" type issue. Solar panels are actually more efficient at cooler temperatures than hot ones. Germany leads the world in residential solar right now, and doesn’t have a sunny climate.
If people insulated their houses to a high level like PassivHaus, they will find that they are far less reliant on heating/cooling systems because the insulation keeps the house at stable temperatures
"More innocent people are killed by repeat killers than innocents are by the State." that does not justify the State killing any innocent people due to flaws in the justice system and the people who carry out that justice
"The reason, not excuse, to execute someone is simple, they've executed someone else themselves" as long as you don't execute innocent people and i bet there have been loads of those especially if your skin is black.
they are also aware that the world is moving to more economical forms of power generation/delivery, solar/wind/hydro/nucleur power generation, electronic vehicles etc etc and getting less reliant on oil based power.
"Has anyone studied the effect on the environment of taking all of that energy out of the wind? What if seeds and dust aren't carried as far? How does that affect terraforming? What about migratory birds? Has anyone bothered to solve the problem of mass kills during migration season?" try reading this, it can answer most of your questions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...
"The root causes of our energy shortage, climate change, starvation, hunger, crime, and disease, are all one in the same: OVERPOPULATION" - what about greed? there are too many obese westerners and the easterners are catching up as they get polluted with the western ways of waste
"While for solar where the individuals choose, that 50+% May have solar while the 50-% will not, so that is less overall green power usage" with more than enough solar on the 50% can then feed the other 50%, just needs the infrastructure in place to share
"suffers from spikes and lulls in availability and cannot be easily transferred across the US due to an aging and outdated power transmission system." that makes the case for solar to be on roofs so its production is for local use. Centralized power generation is for the older technologies
"Why does not anybody in the solar industry step up and support nuclear energy as the logical replacement for coal to fill all of the known gaps in solar power?" - they are more likely to support power storage like batteries which is developing into a large market. Solar companies can then offer the whole package of generation and storage.
yes, but races are determined by the general population by more high level choices of skin color or language or location. scientists may work at the genetic level but the racists, xenophobes etc do not.
i think you are misreading what i was trying to say. i'm not supporting the unofficial "policy", i'm just saying it looks like there is an agenda to remove climate science from the equation without a written mandate.

just how much power do you use when asleep?
"It has just to power the alarm clock, we are sleeping in bed." - and possibly a fridge, a freezer, lighting (if you get up during the night).
i doubt it as they were bugging the german prime ministers phone calls.

one innocent put to death is too many
i guess you are happy with ISIS chopping heads of people because of their interpretation of law. In their eyes, its justified.
