Shame we couldn't keep it.Americans have expressed themselves and the Federal government listened. Fifty-seven percent of Americans are willing to pay $1 per month to save America from the effects of excessive greenhouse gases, but at a higher price, there isn't majority support. Americans also want the price of gasoline lowered by $1 per gallon. The majority of Americans got both desires fulfilled by bipartisan politics. https://apnorc.org/projects/is-the-public-willing-to-pay-to-help-fix-climate-change/ The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/two

You want to fix it, you'd better come up with a REAL fucking way to do it that is going to be affordable for the 50% of Americans who make less than $35k per year. Unaffordable Coal burning cars that will make the price of household electricity skyrocket that can't possibly be supported by the current power grid infrastructure that is barely making due without tens of millions of these things on the road every day is not a legitimate answer. Maybe you could figure it out if you weren't sending hundreds of Billions to Ukraine and Trillions to Rayethon and Boeing to make better killing machines, or enriching Pfizer to make more boner pills and happy pills that turn regular people into monsters.

Good. It's keeping down electricity costs for all the sensible people. Raise that yearly registration to $1,000 per year. -------------------------------------------------- Growing up in a Republic was nice... Shame we couldn't keep it.

Quote:The price for what’s called “core procurement” that goes to residential and small commercial customers is set at the start of each month. The price soared to $3.45 per therm (a unit of natural gas) on Jan. 1 from $1.05 in December. In January 2022, it was 84 cents.

Quote:Originally posted by second: China invests $546 billion in clean energy, far surpassing the U.S. E&E News reports: China once again topped the world in clean energy investments last year, a trend that could challenge U.S. efforts to develop more homegrown manufacturing. Nearly half of the world’s low-carbon spending took place in China, according to a recent analysis from market research firm BloombergNEF. The country spent $546 billion in 2022 on investments that included solar and wind energy, electric vehicles and batteries. That is nearly four times the amount of U.S. investments, which totaled $141 billion. The European Union was second to China with $180 billion in clean energy investments. China also dominated in low-carbon manufacturing, accounting for more than 90 percent of the $79 billion invested in that sector last year, according to the report. The findings come as the U.S. and Europe work to expand domestic manufacturing capacity. The United States has begun in recent months to roll out the benefits of the Inflation Reduction Act, which is packed with $369 billion of incentives aimed at building up the U.S. clean energy industry. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-invests-546-billion-in-clean-energy-far-surpassing-the-u-s/ The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Now he's using Bidenflation to make you feel bad about our War Machine budget.You didn't even click on the link so you could see the graph of defense spending as a percent of GDP. (It is 2.7%, which is as low as it has ever been. Most recent peaks were 4.5% in 2010 and 5.7% in 1985 and 8.6% in 1968 and 11.3% in 1953) The percentage keeps decreasing because the economy keeps growing, but that is too complicated for you.
