I don’t rely on John Oliver for technical data - I used his quip about Trump creating jobs in China which I believe stands. The US will lose the competitive advantage in the renewable energy sector.
China, Germany and France (yes, even the French state owned behemoth EDF) are doubling down on renewables.
Oh, and that question steel mills? You’re from Pennsylvania, correct? If I recall correctly, you have four answers to that questions in your State.
Have we ever had one?
To my knowledge, which I’ll be the first to admit, is lacking- we don’t.
We may come up with technological developments, but we have no solar production. Unless we can devise a way to sell sunshine, where is any advantage going to come from?
So, now Trump has taken to Twitter to throw his DOJ under the bus for the “watered down” immigration ban.
This undermines his legal team’s argument that previous (uglier) campaign statements aren’t relevant in evaluating the motive for the ban and that the court should only look to the current, less invidious motive the current ban now attempts to put in place. Guess what? Trump has made the right now motive the court should look at the same one as the one he blabbed about on the campaign trail with his new Twitter tirade (“ban all of 'em!”, etc.). The DOJ team is probably ready to throw in the towel at this nonsense.
Trump also (stupidly) suggested the DOJ seek expedited review at SCOTUS and seek a “tougher version” - newsflash, courts aren’t there to help you rewrite laws and orders. This bozo doesn’t even know how our government works at a high school level of understanding.
The purpose of the ban was that it was temporary in order to give the government some breathing room to set up stronger vetting procedures. We’re well past the 90 days needed for that process - isn’t the temporary travel ban moot at his point? It is moot on its face, and that puts the legal team between a rock and a hard place - how do they argue it’s not moot and play defense on Trump’s most recent statements saying he wanted a full ban with apparently no time restriction?
Trump is the one that signs the EO, not the DOJ or anyone else. That’s the job. If he didn’t like it, he could have rejected it and issued whatever he wanted. Now, turbo-alpha dog is whining and not taking responsibility for his own work. Who is surprised?
See this for what it is - a clumsy, impulsive statement to try a score points after the London attacks. He’s worried he looks weak with his limited travel ban, and that Trumpkins will look at he a London incident and say “yeah, well, we though Trump was going to ban these types from America, but look at his weakass ban that’s as good as nothing - he was no fighter!”.
You’re going to have to clue me in on that one then, because I’m getting nothing on it.
ArcelorMittal has scrapped their plans to build a mill in India, but may go forward with a solar plant, using 1010 hectares to produce 5 to 6 hundred MW.
When real life doesn’t fit with your narrative just make it up.
So, you have experienced it first hand. I don’t believe enough is said about how the far left behaves when they lose. And this goes back even further than GW Bush. I was at a Ronald Reagan rally in a fairly large city back in the day. The streets were lined with far left wing nuts claiming that Reagan was going to start world war three. Protesting and hollering obscenities outside the center where the President was speaking.
Fast forward to our present times and we now have many of these far left wing loons in power. Bernie Sanders is only one of them, there are others like Elizabeth Warren, the new head of the DNC and many more. They are not protesting or rioting any longer. They now control the democrat party. I am confident that if Trump does a good job that they will get blown out of the water in 2020. I don’t believe middle America will allow one of these kooks to occupy the White House. Fortunately, none that I have seen so far has the power of personality and the charisma to pull it off.
Hint - it’s a word that neither Trump nor GWB can pronounce correctly. It’s not exactly
It’s not a renewable, but leaving the Paris Accord and low gas prices killed of the potential renaissance…
I think Obama was on to something a few years back with the solar energy thing…
Oh…um maybe not…
The left wing media has been doing various forms of that for many years. They have just recently “jumped the shark” and now most everyone is on to their little game. That along with Internet news and they are pretty much history.
Loving it.
Really only interested in looking at domestic terror in America
NUCYALER!
Electric plants. Ok. I thought we were talking about solar, wind, etc. What I found in the mean time on typical arc blasts is that their power consumption is about 400 kw hours per ton.
Does anybody else here remember when nuclear power was the worst and most potentially destructive method of generating electricity? I’m surprised alternative power would let nuclear into the club.
They haven’t yet. There are still tons of anti-nuclear activists ready to cry tears and talk about the environmental apocalypse if nuclear is allowed to grow.
Sad too, because 50 year old technology was responsible for the accidents we had and barring a few areas near fault lines we should really think about expansion
That’s interesting to hear that protests and riots at the inauguration weren’t covered in the NYC/NJ area. Out West it was certainly covered, and it was nationally as well. http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/19/politics/trump-inauguration-protests-womens-march/index.html
More Than 200 Arrested in D.C. Protests on Inauguration Day
I wonder how Christians feel about letting in Muslims who will attempt to outbreed and replace them?
Trump is apparently announcing plans to privatize air traffic control
Ah, the Jane Fonda effect. The worst thing that happened to the West in the last 40 years.
By the way, China is building 20 new reactors, with more in the pipeline.
Of course, probably the biggest success story in terms of nuclear power is France, with 58 reactors:
As of 2012, France’s electricity price to household customers is the seventh-cheapest amongst the 28 members of the European Union, and also the seventh-cheapest to industrial consumers, with a rate of €0.14 per kWh to households and €0.07 per kWh to industrial consumers.[8] France was the biggest electricity exporter in the EU in 2012, exporting 45TWh of electricity to its neighbours.
Sadly, the US is well behind the curve on nuclear power, despite a laudable effort by GWB (yes, him) to start the “nuclear renaissance” in the US. The plants are old, and more importantly, the people in the industry are old. This is why Russian, China and France currently dominate the industry.
After the bare faced lie, he’s doubling down on the Khan comment:

America has solar production companies. First Solar comes to mind off the top of my head.
What’s the over/under that he actually read the whole paragraph before tweeting the 2nd time?
Zeb:
Are you saying that this isn’t the same for the “Right-Wing” media and BLOGSphere…especially now that the “Shark-Miester” himself is POTUS?
If not; you’re fooling yourself.
