China is doing far more renewables than any other country as well. This year they are on track to have 50% of their energy be non-fossil fuel.

you are correct. Also, we won’t do anything significant about it until at least 3 feet of sea level rise happens.

As I predicted.

I’d say direct gov or not, Hally is fa-a-a-a-t on gov money.  So that likely spreads out and bumps compensation across the board

eh, that’s less about the ability and more about the customer acceptance. The latter is only a good idea away from a *really* quick turnover of the industry.

the latest climate report says we have about 3 years to turn around fossil fuel use.

It’s the most expensive per kwh. And that price doesn’t include the waste storage for 100s of years.

Yeah, “doing the hard thing” isn’t America’s strong suit.   China sadly probably will do better at this 

Nuclear is like democracy. As solutions go it’s terrible, but it’s the best option we’ve got right now.

Exactly. They are SIDE view mirrors, not rear.

Nuclear is terrible. It’s too expensive, it has unsolved waste problems. Something that for a year of output requires active maintenance for ‘longer than modern society has existed’ isn’t a realistic solution.

Eh, OP has sort of a point. The ‘rare earths’ aren’t rare by amount but are rare in any given volume of earth. I.e. they’re fairly dispersed instead of in concentrated veins. They also require a lot of effort to actually extract.

I’d accept it if it included “..and we’re ceasing all political contributions to every politician who voted for this and doesn’t promise to repeal it”

This was perfect for the “No”  “Also No but in Yellow” meme

I wish more EVs would lower the power and up the range. Nobody *needs* sub 7 sec 0-6.

Something in Ukraine Putin can strike to screw most of Europe.

Interviews with the hostage crew that was finally let out....There’s a spot on the access road that’s uber radio active. Everybody knows to keep the windows up and drive fast through it.

similar vehicle in that condition is being sold for now

Insurance isn’t required in every state. In VA you can literally post a few *hundred* dollars bond in lieu of having insurance. Boggles the mind but it’s legal.

The whole ‘looking for survivors’ is...something.  The likely won’t even be identifiable parts of people.
