“Once we start to understand that we can’t opt-out of climate change in anything that we do—it’s just a fact, a reality of how we think about the future—then we can start to really get in front of and be productive”

Interesting project. The fluid inside the reactor is at (near) atmospheric pressure, always monophase and inert to water or air (unlike high pressure water, or sodium used in the Natrium reactor). In case of accident, the fuel doesn’t flash to vapor or form explosive hydrogen, actually tends to solidifies with no…

I’d like to see the CBO analyze the DoD budget... Like I’m sure that one pays for itself...

People always ask, “but what can I do to help the climate crisis?” Use less gas is a good start and high prices are a good way to incentivize that happening.

Were any reactors ever “mass produced”? Aren’t they all made to order? Mass-produced implies being built on some assembly line.

Look man. I’m not a numbers guy or whatever. I just know this year has had some problems so definitely vote for fascist Nazis next year.

Just remember: The ~$2Trillion Infrastructure bill they just passed and everyone is howling and screaming about as “Communism!” or “Socialist Agenda!” while not perfect, is effectively spread out over 10 years. The Dept of Defense is slated for ~$750Billion PER YEAR and is pretty much non-negotiable. Kind of makes you…

I don’t know why more people don’t see that EVERYTHING this year is a reaction to what happened last year - price hikes, supply shortages, inflation...everything. 

The article’s incomplete, to the point of being misleading. The administration isn’t releasing 50m barrels from the strategic reserve on its own; the US is one of a group of countries releasing strategic reserves (including China, India, South Korea, and others).

Ya, well, we need to blame high prices anybody but the people consuming it, right? I mean, all those who bought cars and trucks as daily drivers that get less than 20 miles to the gallon and $300 to top off, they aren’t to blame for anything, oh dear lordy no. But now they need big government to come in and bail them…

Won’t stop “Fox & Friends” from blaming it on him, liberals, and anything else they think is scary.

what cracks me up is the thought that the administration- ANY administration can affect gas prices with any significance- it’s the global market that controls them, and they’re still trying to recoup lost profits from ‘20 when traders were literally selling oil at a loss, and man they took that shit personally.

I think you might be looking at it wrong, if we use 18 million barrels a day, and we want to reduce prices by 10% (A fairly large shift, and just back of envelope math) We’d need to add 1.8 million barrels a day into the mix. 10% off gas prices @ $3.80/gal would be ~$.38 per gallon.

With the release of 50 Million…

50 million barrels of oil is literally 50 million barrels of oil.

Once again the wandering morals of the GOP are in play.

I mean NC_N8 should at least be honest about wasted votes. In a first-past-the-post system, any vote not for the winning candidate is a waste, because it doesn’t matter if 2^nd place loses by 1 vote or by 1 million, they still lose by exactly the same amount.

Except that you’re wasting your vote and the Clinton supporter isn’t.

The things that the Greens, and Stein as the candidate of the Greens, that don’t align with my thoughts are definitely their worries about vaccines, their homeopathy support (though I think this is more of a concern for the Greens than with Stein), their “never ever build nuclear power plants” ideas, and their over…
