Renewable Energy seems to be a peer-reviewed journal, but you do have a point. However, the fact that the evidentiary record is incomplete is not a reason to make an assumption in the other direction. You stated “though they will likely never during their life cycle replace the energy that was used to create or…

Given that it’s the blue states that fund the red, I think we’d be OK.

They are talking about deporting American citizens. That doesn’t sound crazy to you?

Wow. That is some messed up legal analysis. Did you go to the Trump University School of Law?

There is already a limit in place. It’s called the 14th Amendment.
