Comments by "Dan A" (@DanA-nl5uo) on "DW News" channel.

  1. The county which is driving a 60km convoy of weapons into Ukraine complaining that Ukraine is being flooded with weapons. Priceless
    787
  2. Funny how there is never a lag from crude prices going up at the pumps but there is always a delay on the down said. Profiteering means they always keep the prices in their favor
    253
  3. Caplistist spent the last half century outsourcing to increase profits. Why would anyone be surprised that building manufacturing capacity in Asia has resulted in their economy growing? Anyone who doesn't understand this fails to understand how capitalism works.
    212
  4. About time the German government steps up to maximize the transition to renewable energy. Energy security is best achieved through local renewable energy.
    173
  5. Maybe depending on 3 factories to make 90% of all micro chips was a bad side effect of globalization
    168
  6. Too big to fail means too big to exist. No company should be allowed to grow to the size where failure endangers the economy at large.
    162
  7. Proof we don't have 40 years to fix the problems we face today.
    157
  8. Oh no the companies will all move to Mars now...
    152
  9. We need to breakup these huge banks into small enough to be allowed to fail. These mergers are just increasing the moral hazard and the leverage these mega banks have over governments to force bailouts
    136
  10. Time to build more local renewable energy so no country is dependent on foreign countries and ff.
    128
  11. This is brilliant if the USA allowed voters to vote on politics like Medicare for All instead of Congress we would live in a much better society
    115
  12. This is what happens when you deregulate and put your safety in the hands of the board of directors at the power companies. Their profits take priority over your wellbeing. One of the Oil industry CEO even said this crisis was like hitting the jackpot.
    111
  13. What good does the face mask do for those first people with it on their chin?
    75
  14. Seems like the EU would realize that gas isn't green energy...
    62
  15. Democracy dies in darkness. When the government holds their own forces to a separate standard them the avg citizens you are moving into an authoritarian police state.
    60
  16. This is the cost of intellectual property rights and profiteering off a pandemic
    59
  17. Tax rate 2016 35% Tax rate 2017 21% Tax rate Biden plan 28% Companies still get to pay 7% less than in 2016.
    57
  18. Imagine being in your 80s as the head of a political party that for your entire political career has fund raising off this issue and failed to pass legislation. We need rank choice voting and more parties to end the duopoly.
    56
  19. Criminals reject accountability by the courts. Shocking.
    51
  20. Unfortunately it is a banana republic with the worlds largest military. If the USA falls to fascism like Germany did in the 30s the military industrial complex has already built enough weapons to kill all life on planet earth many times over. So we have to take the rise of fascism in the USA as a deadly threat to all life on planet earth.
    49
  21. This is what climate crisis looks like
    46
  22. When you can't sell your assets they are not worth more than your debt they are not assets they are liabilities at that point.
    44
  23. How many Darwin awards will be earned by these "tourists"
    44
  24. So much for the saying no one is above the law in the USA. That does explain why the former president hasn't been brought up on chargers for his crimes by the DOJ.
    44
  25. The climate scientists warned us all decades ago and we continue to build oil pipelines. This us the denial of addiction.
    42
  26. Next question for DW is water wet?
    40
  27. 3 of the last 4 decades have proven that foreign military force is not the answer. It is time to leave Afghanistan to the locals to sort out.
    39
  28. Unlike a decade ago we now need to force Texas to join the national grid and winterize their infrastructure.
    38
  29. Comparing attending school to eating out at a restaurant is a false equivalence. The government mandates that all children under a certain age are required to attend school. There is no equivalent mandate that all citizens eat at a public restaurant. Exposing yourself to risk eating out is 100% your own personal choice.
    34
  30. 3 of the last 4 decades have shown that outside military forces are not the solution. These troops better get out the us citizens and come home with them
    34
  31. I am wondering how they plan on getting Russia to supply fuel for NATO'S war machine when they go to war.
    33
  32. Sorry but as an American I don't believe the price charged by drug companies has anything to do with the cost of manufacturing. Their prices are set by their greed.
    33
  33. It seems to me Strawberries might not be the best crop adaptation to the climate change.
    32
  34. This story is everyday life in the USA. The largest cause of bankruptcy in the USA is medical bankruptcy
    31
  35. Leave it to the United States Senate always money for war never money to help the citizens. Their priorities couldn't be more clear as they also shoot down a one time payment of $2000 for struggling citizens during a global pandemic.
    29
  36.  @harukrentz435  we have a government designed to protect the status quo
    27
  37. Well the drone was more threatening than Chinese ballons and the Russian fighters didn't need millions of dollars worth of missiles to shoot it down.
    23
  38.  @ctbsancho2516  actually it is the job of the government to protect the health and wellbeing of the citizens it is their only job
    22
  39. We call this system capitalism. Those with the capital get to use their wealth to hord resources.
    21
  40. The temperature wasn't the route cause of the crisis though. Deregulation and refusal to join the national grid was what causes the crisis. There where about 400,000 people in Texas who never lost power because they are on the national grid and their power plant was winterized. This is a failure of leadership. The GOP convinced Texas they where safer depending on corporations that put profit over people to protect them than government regulations. We now see the failure of that blind belief in unregulated markets.
    21
  41. Renewable energy is how you solve the ff problem not finding a new source of ff to commit genocide with
    21
  42. Welcome to the new normal. This situation brought to you by the ff industry
    20
  43. Corporations paying 15% wow I wish humans only paid 15%
    20
  44. Trillions of dollars for the military industrial complex, trillions of dollars for wallstreet, $600 for working class Americans who are $5000 behind on rent and facing eviction during a global pandemic without any health insurance. That shows you the priorities of the GOP.
    19
  45. So will the electricity just be a payment on the weapons or is NATO going to donate weapons and pay for electricity?
    19
  46. Aid that flows back into their own companies profits. How generous.
    18
  47. If only we cared half as much about our own homeless here in the USA as we do about the war in Ukraine we could actually end homelessness.
    18
  48. Sure as long as they stop asking for the American taxpayers to fund them... let God handle their needs not Americans.
    18
  49. One more reason to accelerate the building of renewable energy solutions.
    18
  50. The better question is should corporations be allowed to have a monopoly on technology, and intellectual property developed with government funding?
    17
  51. Remember the Hindenburg? Hydrogen pipelines are as equally a good idea.
    16
  52. The caplistist class is profiteering like always.
    16
  53. High ff prices only adds more incentive to build renewable energy
    16
  54. More wealth people literally using the entire carbon budget for the rest of their lives to have a 10 minute joy ride. This is a crime against humanity
    16
  55. This will only get worse as the climate crisis caused drought results on crop failures.
    15
  56. It is long past time all troops are brought home. Leave the entire middle east and use the military budget to build renewable energy. The last 2 decades of oil wars need to be left in the history books
    15
  57. Billionaires racing to space while the working class struggles to figure out how they don't lose their homes in the USA with the comming eviction crisis. I can't think of a better example of caplistist society income inequality.
    14
  58. This story brought to you by the greed of intellectual property rights
    14
  59. Almost like globalization was a bad idea...
    14
  60. All the US had to do was not veto every other resolution and stop shipping weapons to Israel. So long as the US ships the weapons they are not for a ceasefire
    14
  61. What we achieved with the middle east oil wars was profits for the ff industry and the military industrial complex. Oh and a climate crisis.
    14
  62. Or call yourself Americans. Remember President Bush called needing 3 jobs to get by uniquely American.
    14
  63. The person saying covid 19 is no more dangerous than riding the subway made me glad I don't ride their subway.
    14
  64.  @signumcrucis71  wow you sure do love your authoritarian leaders. Dictators the world over thank you for your support.
    13
  65.  @alchemist7412  the karma is for a world that selfishly keeps burning ff knowing it is causing the 6th mass extinction event.
    13
  66. So what is your point? Do you think we should build a time machine or just give up on a planet that supports human life because the problem can't be solved overnight?
    13
  67. Americans who have the resources to live over seas have the skills and resources to relocate.
    13
  68. The future of food security looks more like the victory gardens from the past
    13
  69. New flash for the caplistist class you can't have infinite growth with finite resource on planet earth...
    13
  70. Unfortunately as long as we have a society that values capital higher than humanity we won't do any of the suggestions in this video to save lives. We currently pride ourselves on valuing capital not humanity it is right there in the term caplistist society.
    13
  71. All these stories of manufacturing facilities exploding in 2021 makes one think decades of deregulation and profiteers might have been a bad idea after all. I am willing to bet the share holders won't be held accountable for any of it though.
    12
  72. Just think how much faster this would have happened with the intellectual property rights wavers
    12
  73.  @danielhutchinson6604  sorry but when those soldiers settled there they where no longer Russians any more than the Russians who settled in the USA a century before. The reality is humans move to new areas and become members of that nation to try to claim your alliance to the nation you moved out of is what causes the conflict. We are seeing the same thing the world over. Israel is an example of people moving to a country and then declaring the people who live there as the enemy and locking them up in the worlds largest open air prison. Much the same you would not respect Palestinian rights to the land they lived on in the same time frame in history as you claim we need to respect Russian rights to Ukraine.
    12
  74. Never forget all but one Republican senator voted to keep trump in office after his impeachment. This was the foreseeable outcome of making the president above the law. We need to hold them all responsible for their role in what has happened.
    12
  75. This is the cost of intellectual property rights for big pharmaceutical companies
    11
  76.  @SerginhoPMoura  don't worry they have a big military industrial complex to make more
    11
  77. It is almost like the Justice system for political leaders needs to be faster then the election cycle if they are ever to be held accountable for their crimes.
    11
  78. This is what happens when intellectual property is more important than lives. We know how to end the pandemic but the caplistist want to maximize profits not end the pandemic.
    11
  79. I suspect this cop will impact things just as much as the last 26 have. The ff industry still owns too many of the leaders at the conference to see any difference results
    11
  80. This is the price of intellectual property rights and profit motives in healthcare
    11
  81. This will make owning an EV look really good just plug it in when you get home.
    11
  82. 2^33 is 8.5 billion. So doubling every 2 to 3 days gets serious pretty fast.
    11
  83. It is time to accept that the fire fighters are buying time for people to evacuate and save their lives. Lives need to be the focus not property
    10
  84.  @smartandhandsome  you are only about 20 years out of date on your view of China. Over the last couple of decades they have built a high tech engineering college program and graduated engineers. It isn't the 90s anymore when we where shipping production lines over to asia only to have to send our engineers over to do routine maintenance. I know because I sold production equipment to them in the 90s through about 2010. Those decades saw a huge change in their skills.
    10
  85.  @jeanninepoulin5285  wow what BS the variants are comming from populations like south Africa where they don't have access to the vaccine. Which proves you wrong.
    10
  86. No point approving a new pipeline when Russia can't deliver the volume needed to fill the existing pipelines. Time to build a new renewable energy economy.
    10
  87. Corporations are the ones who set prices. The cause of inflation is corporate greed.
    10
  88.  @solomonreal1977  you might not want to depend on someone who literally flooded the entire planet. God probably thinks humans are just finally living up the the example he set. The bible is full of examples of god commiting mass murder
    10
  89. Yup that is what fascism looks like the ends justify the means.
    10
  90.  @PHlophe  well it is nice to know you are worried about the profits of the ff industry not their committing genocide to earn those profits.
    9
  91. I thought those ff companies where good caplistist who believe the markets choose and that they didn't need government handouts in the energy sector.
    9
  92. In the 1930s Texas choose to not be part of the United States energy grid because they didn't want to pay for a hardened system which would withstand this type of weather events. This is the direct result of deregulation and dependence on companies to do the right thing. The energy sector in Texas put profits over people and is now trying to socialize the cost of their profits onto the rest of the country. They need to be held financially accountable for the harm they have done and forced to fix the underlying problems not being on the national grid and not having hardened infrastructure.
    9
  93. Maybe the USA should stop turning grains into fuel for vehicles.
    9
  94. Maybe the automotive industry shouldn't have focused so much on just in time inventory. There are plenty of other companies getting chips for all those new web access points that we all use working at home.
    9
  95. Intrest rate based "control" of inflation is based on making it harder for the working class to afford goods in the hope that the caplistist class will charge them less for the goods.
    9
  96.  @bobdylan9117  they did decide their govenor asked the federal government for my tax dollars. That gives me the right to demand they join the national grid and winterize their infrastructure.
    9
  97. How is saying that the USA NOT sending in troops a push for war? Biden has literally done the opposite he has just sent the message that he is not going to invade to protect Americans who leave themselves in a pending war zone that we will not get drawn into the war.
    9
  98. It is called man made climate crisis for a reason
    9
  99. Depends on how quickly it collapses our healthcare systems.
    9
  100. The world doesn't need to build more stranded assets we need to build renewable energy infrastructure.
    9
  101.  @Gumpmachine1  you are confusing our modern technology with caplistist society they are not one in the same
    8
  102. "Every region is responsible for their own region first" Did he just tell India to stop shipping out vaccine to the rest of the world and vaccinate their 1.4 billion citizens first???
    8
  103. Someone should place a phone with GPS tracking in the engine room of each train and have a simple ap that tells the engineer when there is another train on the track. I mean it is 2021 it won't cost billions of dollars to simply not drive two trains into each other on the same track. Not very many variables to account for speed and direction are both easy to know with a train. The track only runs one place.
    8
  104. You can thank the caplistist class putting profits over lives for this. We need to nationalize the drug companies and get 100% of the global population vaccinated. Or the pandemic will never end.
    8
  105.  @floydjammer6395  oh triggered by a young lady how sad
    8
  106.  @VonTyrant  the youth are always the foot soldiers in war that is nothing new.
    8
  107. Sure exnore the 100% government funding.
    8
  108. Or find ourselves living in waterworld.
    8
  109. If only the global governments had a conference of the parties they could all address their emmisions before the climate crisis become an emergency endangering the human economy and life. Oh right we have tried that 26 years running and only now that we have drought and wildfires do they understand it might be a problem needing solutions.
    8
  110. Yup and big pharmaceutical companies will be talking about the profits of booster shots sold to the wealthy nations
    8
  111. It is really hard for workers in this situation where they cannot afford to live in the society they work in too.
    8
  112. The way to end bank runs is to set a withdrawal limit on uninsured deposits
    8
  113.  Christopher Meisner  sure blame the government for the results of half a century of caplistist ff consumption. Sounds reasonable
    7
  114.  @Gumpmachine1  we produced more food than society needed every since we learned how to grow crops regardless of the form of society we had. Slavery was a great way for the Roman's to expand their empire and grow more food than they needed so was the feudal society in Europe but that doesn't mean those where great societies to live in
    7
  115.  @smartandhandsome  again you are living in the past. We do have more medical bankruptcy per capita but healthcare sorry but Tiawan and China both stopped the pandemic while we lead the world in deaths. Wealth? They have their billionaires as we have our. They don't buy American debt and American buildings because of a lack of wealth. China has lifted more people out of poverty than any other nation in the last half century. While millions of Americans are now homeless you see them in all our major cities. In America living in your car is now a thing it wasn't before 2008. Infrastructure give me a break ours has a D minus rating needing 4 trillion dollars worth of work for the roads alone. China has spent the last 20 years building new highways. Google china belts and roads. Check out the massive machines they have that literally drop entire road sections in place for their highways. My best friend works for the highway department rebuilding the highway here in the USA. His entire career for the last 2 decades has been one expansion project on one highway in NH and he has said he expect to retire in 15 years time when he Hope's to hit the mass border. China is so far ahead of use on how to build modern highways it is crazy. I sent my friend who works on the highway here the video of their machine building the highway and he replied that would do in weeks what we do in a full year.
    7
  116. A one time capital investment in solar panels and wind turbines vs continues flow of money to Russia for ff. The two are not even close to the same thing.
    7
  117. Saying no one could forsee this comming is dishonest. The climate scientists have literally been telling us for decades this is what is comming. This was brought to you by the ff industry. But Germany keeps pushing forward with their new ff pipelines. So expect this to continue to get worse.
    7
  118. Time to build 100% renewable energy. Tell Putin you are stuck with stranded assets.
    7
  119. Don't worry the GOP is full of stock traders as well
    7
  120. The problem is where do the move half the planet is on fire the other half is suffering flooding events.
    7
  121.  @ytcensorhack1876  wrong it is far more likely that a monopoly will crash the economy than all small companies in the same sector crashing the economy through bankruptcy. You definitely don't understand how diversity and redundancy impacts markets.
    7
  122. Billionaires burning the last of our carbon budget as a species for a joy ride.. this should be considered a crime against humanity.
    7
  123. Atleast the IDF didn't shoot this time.
    7
  124. Funny how the building of ff infrastructure and the climate crisis are placed at opposite ends of the reporting. Almost like DW doesn't want you to think about how the new oil pipelines will become stranded assets as we transition to renewable energy. The world doesn't need to build any more ff resources to become stranded assets that is just wasting resources and money.
    7
  125. Apparently it isn't enough to get you to switch to an EV. Meaning yes it isn't enough to make you worry about the future of a planet that support human life over your desire to drive a gas vehicle today.
    7
  126.  @Skoda130  indigenous communities are often not based on growth. It is why there are native tribes who lived in harmony for centuries before modern civilization kicked them off the land. So no not all societies are based on growth. Just the ones we as members of like to call advanced.
    7
  127.  @Unix_Based  10 time trump's lawyers have lost their court cases because they had to admit they didn't have any evidence of voter fraud. Also the trump lawyers have admitted in court that even if they could prove their case it wasn't wide spread voter fraud that could change the election results. Just like the claims trump made in 2016 about voter fraud and then disbanded his own committee investing it with no fraud found after over a year of digging. Someone should have read the boy who cried wolf to trump because the rest of us know how this story ends.
    7
  128. Why would they run away? They still get to pay 7% less taxes than they paid in 2016. Those same companies where happy enough to keep their businesses here in 2016
    7
  129.  @Capsensor  wow you realy are belittling the loss of the the dead here just to rationalize your dependency on the ff industry. This is the behavior of an addict.
    7
  130.  @gvi341984  wrong the prices went through the roof because the billionaires are greedy see the quote about hitting the jackpot.
    7
  131.  @jaimejimenez4199  you mean a mess that took over a century to make didn't go away in a single year??? Wow I am so shocked.
    6
  132. DW is showing their main focus as corporate media is companies not citizens. After just a moment talking about the citizens the rest of the story was how can the government do more for companies.
    6
  133.  Oliver Jones  if you don't understand why freedom of the press is important to democracy you need to do some research
    6
  134.  @ctbsancho2516  this isn't a natural disaster it is a side effect of our consumption of ff. But as to how you handle flooding look at the flood control dams build in the USA during the great depression. They have stopped flooding for a century where I live.
    6
  135. This is the price of intellectual property rights
    6
  136. Time for Texas to join the national grid and winterize their infrastructure. It should be a requirement before spending funds from the rest of the country to fix the problems caused by deregulation in Texas. We can't allow the power companies in Texas to take all the profits and socialize all the losses onto the rest of the country. We need to have a commitment to fix the underlying problem first.
    6
  137. This is an illegitimate appointment as the vote to advance her to the full senate was illegitimate. The next Senate should remove her on those grounds alone. Graham screwed up when he held a vote in violation of his own committees rules.
    6
  138. Who needs a planet that supports human life when we could have space tourism? Priorities...
    6
  139. The same thing can be done by taking out the road or a bridge with any explosives
    6
  140. Next time you stop at the gas station remember this flood is the price society paid for your transportation.
    6
  141.  @netiturtle  wrong prices are set to the maximum the consumers will pay. The companies have a fiduciary obligation to maximize profits which means they are obligated to seek out the lowest costs at any means regardless of the sales price. It has nothing to do with consumers it is 100% about meeting the obligation to maximize profits for the owner class.
    6
  142. Sounds like a good reason to have a waiver of intellectual property rights and mass production of vaccines to vacillate all people on planet earth not just the most profitable.
    6
  143. Atleast that is 1.3 million less new pieces of ff infrastructure. Hopefully the automotive industry will continue to focus their efforts on EV technology while they slow down their factories.
    6
  144. The title of this video proves people have forgotten what MAD ment in the cold war.
    6
  145. Better than their dependency on ff.
    6
  146. So lack of sailer and supply chain problems will put up costs. Followed by shrinking supply chains to more local production will bring up costs. So basically she is saying expect to see inflation but don't worry making things more expensive won't dampen demand because apparently German consumers have excess money to pay higher costs???
    6
  147. Wrong nuclear is the most expensive form of new energy generation
    6
  148. One more reason the world needs to decommission all nuclear power plants and replace them with renewable energy
    6
  149. Hopefully the district of Columbia will hold trump accountable of his roll in the riots as well. It would be fitting to see them call out the partisan shame of the Republican senators
    6
  150. If Europe wants to strip Russia of the ability to use energy as leverage the solution is simple announce a new push to become 100% renewable energy powered.
    6
  151. As the effects trail emmisions by a decade and half of all ff ever burned has been burned in the last 2 decades time ran out while the governments delayed action at 26 annual COP meetings.
    6
  152.  @TheRedland284  while I agree we spend too much on those things in this case the state of Texas in the 1930s choose not to join the natural grid because they wanted to put profits over reliability. There where about 400,000 people in Texas who never lost power because they are on the western grid in the USA which requires their infrastructure be winterized. This is purely a failure of depending on corporations not government regulations. The citizens suffer and the entire country gets to pay for their losses but the billionaires in the energy sector hit the jackpot this is disaster caplistist at it's best.
    6
  153.  @italy5153  it isn't a question of build quality no one designs for a months worth of rain in hours.
    6
  154.  @italy5153  nope I don't care for city life at all. But you have a serious issue with the concept of climate change and normal design limits apparently. Not everywhere planned on becoming venice italy when they built their cities.
    6
  155. From an economic perspective all the crop land and natrual resources including lithium reserves in Ukraine it would be a great deal.
    6
  156. There are only what 3 or 4 nuclear power plants in Germany that have not been decommissioned already. This isn't a solution to the energy problem.
    6
  157. Following heavy floods brought to you by over a century of burning ff. There I fixed it for DW
    6
  158.  @shadowlord1418  then only in select cases. The british definitely didn't give independence to all their subjects without conflict many Americans died to gain their independence.
    6
  159.  @bill8711  or you could do like I did and install an off grid solar system. Mine cut my monthly bills in half. The home equity loan is literally half what the power company wanted before they raised the rates as I left. But you do you.
    5
  160. The only nuclear power plant the earth needs is located a safe 8 light minutes away and has over 4 billion years of proven continuous operation. We just need to finish building our collector network.
    5
  161. The problem with interest rates is globally all of humanity has hight debt burdens. Increasing the intrest on that debt won't help increase the resources available to the debtors to buy food.

  162. Solar and wind is the cheapest form of new energy generation today.

  163. Getting your energy locally will increase your GDP it is a huge part of your economy that is now domestic. So infact renewable energy is the answer not the problem. You only see it as a problem if you sell ff.

  164. When using the products of the ff industry has changed the environment making it harder to transport those same products there is a message being missed by those worried about how to keep burning ff.

  165. The entire GOP really. Look at how the Senate failed to pass any legislation that helped the American people get income needed to survive the pandemic. Look at how deregulation just crashes the power grid in Texas while making record profits for the power companies who caused the grid to collapse with their recklessness putting profits over reliability.

  168. 8 Democratic senators and all Republican senators making $1054 per day just voted down $120 per day minimum wage by 2025. They feel that the current minimum wage of $57 per day is all the working class Americans should be paid. These senators literally make $1000 per day worked more than minimum wage plus benefits. Priceless

  170.  @ytcensorhack1876  you fail to understand that governments lack the ability to regulate companies that are too big to fail. I never said the people working in the banking sector where evil so don't put words in my mouth. I said they have leverage over governments and lack moral hazard because of their ability to hold the economy hostage and force their losses onto society. In 2008 we saw 6 million Americans become homeless which wasn't considered too high a risk to the economy but the handful of banks that owned that debt where allowed to merge into bigger banks their debt forced off onto the government. The result has been that they are repeating the same bad loans to the corporate sector now. We see zombie corporations in 2020 at an all time high as the banking sector extends them credit safe in the knowledge that the economy can't allow the bigger banks to fail.

    5
  175. Yup so take away the one that funds the other by switching to renewable energy
    5
  176.  @Spartan-jg4bf  the people in Texas blamed wind turbines for their outage when the gas plants froze too. If there was no renewable energy the demand for ff would be higher and the market price would be higher with more demand. You don't understand simple supply and demand when you blame the thing lowering demand for not lowering it enough to keep the price of a limited supply low.
    5
  177.  @Leifthrasir  really it is cheaper to hire someone to run a nuclear power plant and buying new fuel every 18 months than just letting solar panels sit out there in the sun on my lawn? Because my ground mount solar system costs me exactly zero dollars every day to operate so tell me how is a nuclear power plant operated at less than zero dollars per day because those are some pretty bad paying jobs for the workers and poor prices for the suppliers if raw materials to run the plant.
    5
  178.  Wo Laiye  unfortunately they just privatized the profits and socialized the costs onto the rest of the country. That is what declaring a national emergency means that we all pay for the barrons of industry to keep their profits from the last decade when we told them they needed to winterize their infrastructure.

  194. What a great way to waste money on the most expensive form of new energy generation. Wind and solar plus storage will come on line faster at a lower cost
    5
  195. One more future stranded assets as the ff era ends.

Wow those streets looked way to narrow for that type of mass evacuation. Have you seen the photos of the highways made one way when there is a hurricane evacuation in the USA? I really dought even if the military was there organizing it that those communities could have evacuated in under 30 minutes like you think

  203. Renewable energy to replace ff will create jobs not cut them.

  205.  @bill8711  living in the USA I know full well how much the ff industry subdies and wars cost us. Over 5 trillion dollars in the last two decades of oil wars alone. I would rather invest our tax money in renewable energy then bombs and ff to kill life
    4
  206. Correct. A real opposition party would have said the last administration cut these taxes by 14% so I will raise them 14% above the pre cut level to raise revenue. Let Congress start at a tax proposal above the 35%. This is a way to insure whatever happens companies win. Expecally since the bought Congress will negotiate it down to 23% before this is over and call it bipartisan.

  207. We don't need carbon taxes we need to end tax subsidies for the ff industry and build renewable energy infrastructure.

  208. Nuclear power plants take decades to bring online. They are the most expensive form of new energy. Only a fool who wants to waste time and money would build new nuclear power in 2022.

  219.  @maxjakcker3273  with that additude you might as well just roll over and join the dinosaurs as you won't end the 6th mass extinction event that has already started. I will hold out hope that as a species we are smart enough to avoid our own extinction. But then I am bias I want to avoid death a little longer.
    4
  220. @Amatya Ucran because the rest of the world outsourced our manufacturing and those our carbon footprint to Asia. Caplistist hard at work chasing profit over all else. Not to mention that per capita the USA still has a worse carbon footprint. But compare 360 million to 1.398 billion humans. I mean the fact that they have more than 1 billion more people living in china might mean in raw numbers they would use more energy than the USA
    4
  221. They are using all the nuclear power plants that have not been decommissioned.
    4
  222.  @ytcensorhack1876  the goal post didn't really move it was a poorly chooses word. The fact remains the same a single large company that is able to hold the government hostage with no moral hazard because the government can't allow them to fail is far more dangerous than many smaller companies. The bailout of the financial sector in 2008 proved this fact. That you have connections in the sector who held the government hostage doesn't lend credibility to your argument.
    4
  223.  @ytcensorhack1876  the issue is large banks have zero moral hazard because they can not be allowed to fail. It is also impossible for governments to regulate large industries that hold them hostage as proven the the total lack of regulations that resulted from the 2008 financial crisis. You fail to understand how power works in a caplistist society.

  230.  @susutag  the wealthy 1% of the global population accounts for more emmisions than the bottom half (3.5 billion) of all humanity. This is a lifestyle choice. If you don't approve of the carbon footprint in china stop outsourcing your carbon footprint there by buying chinese goods. Because the reality is they only built the energy grid they have to build your imported goods.

The oil companies own the fuel in the tanks and set the price the stores don't buy the fuel in bulk they simply process the sales for the oil companies. I know because I discussed it with several store owners years ago. There are very few independent stations that buy the fuel in bulk.

  256. There is no normal until we stop emmisions and the climate stabilizes. The effects lag a decade behind emmisions and we burns half of all emmisions in the last decade. This is just the start of things to come from the ff we already burned not to mention the ff we are burning now.

Offshore wind is literally less than half the cost and comes on line twice as fast. The free market has spoken Nuclear power is too expensive

  297. The best way to get through to the oil exporting countries like Russia is to simply announce that the result of their increased aggression is a faster transition away from ff. Germany should announce new incentives to install heat pumps more solar panels and wind mills to power them. Let Russia know the demand for the gas will be gone forever if they invade any other nation.

Before Reagan we had the golden age of growth from the 40s to the 70s. Top marginal taxes where 90% and companies put money back into the company higher wages and new manufacturing facilities because it was wiser to invest in the working class and the company than to pay taxes. Reagan and half a century of trickle down economics removed the tax penalty so the earning where extracted from the company and paid to wallstreet

  315.  @Spartan-jg4bf  by the way since your self interest blocked your understanding of the Texas comparison I will make it really simple for you. It is the same deflection technique of blaming the renewable energy sector for the failure of the ff industry
    3
  316.  @Spartan-jg4bf  wow the chicken and egg argument now to defend coal. Amazing you assume people you don't know are ignorant. There is also a company making wooded bases for windmills so the steal makes up a small percentage of their design. You should look them up they are pretty well know in the European energy sector. I am willing to bet you know who it is but wanted to make a bad faith argument assuming you would go unchecked on it.

  317.  @MrZozue  you think they would have better luck maintaining ff infrastructure than solar panels when the economy collapses? The mantaince on my solar panels is absolutely nothing at all they just sit there and make electricity for me. Why would you think that is harder to handle than a power plant that requires a constant flow of raw materials to operate?

  318. Another story brought to you by a century of ff industry profiteering.

  319.  @freddy4603  when the UK can build a HVDC line from northern Africa plus install solar wind and batteries to supply baseload electricity from 100% renewable energy at half the cost of Hinkley Point Nuclear power the free market has spoken nuclear power is dead. 100% renewable energy is the future. XLinks is showing the way in the UK.

  320. Half of all emmisions have happened in the last 2 decades and the effects of emmisions lag a decade behind the emmisions. It will get much worse over the next decade as we see the impacts of the ff we burned from 2012 to 2022. We need to end the ff era ASAP and get to real zero not net zero in half a century.

  321. Desalination will be necessary in a lot of places going forward but it would also cause massive spikes in the cost of food. It is very expensive to replace free rain water with desalinated water.

  325.  @johngablesmith4671  nope the GOP was getting what their donors wanted the entire time. The equivalent of $32,000 per US citizen was transferred to the wealthy business owners with their pandemic response. Ask yourself would you be better off if the federal government had given you $32,000 per member of your household than you are now, that they gave that money to your Boss? Because the government did give that money to wallstreet and cooperations in 2020.
    3
  326. Yup because in 65 a controlled explosion was state of the art technology. One step better than the coal fired steam engine.

  327. Looks like china might have to write off those infrastructure costs as simply the cost of doing business. If you have the goods and want to get them to market you might have to build the road to the market at your own cost.
    3
  328. What is needed is the green new deal. Renewable energy infrastructure jobs for the working class not neoliberalism forcing more taxes on the working class hoping the magically free market will fix things. The caplistist free market is what made the climate crisis in the first place. You can't expect a system that created the problem to fix it.

  333. Being that the climate is less stable it is difficult to predict where and when. Higher temperatures in many areas means less rain and forest fires. In others more rain. So yes hard to predict. It would have been easier to avoid but we are addicted to our ff even knowing it is causing the 6th mass extinction event

  334.  @EB-du3vh  what kind of a strawman argument is that? I asked how they calculate the baseline tax when different countries have different loopholes like private jets in the tax code and you ask if I want the government to take over the means of production? Tell me how you get from tax code questions to government run production. Because that is totally not related to if Amazon should be able to write off a private jet for Jeff Bezos from their taxes.

  335. Simply end all subsidies for the ff industry and charge them a fair rental price for the public lands they use. Meaning a price that reflects the wealthy they are extracting from the public off that land.

  336.  @MikeLiteraus  the courts had already heard the case. The members of Congress where taking part in trump's sedition trying to overthrow the government by throwing out the results of the constitutionality conducted and certified election. Remember the courts heard over 60 cases going all the way to the supreme court. There was no evidence of wide scale voter fraud able to change the results of the election according to not only the courts but William Barr the trump appointed head of the Department of Justice. To refuse to accept the ruling of the supreme court and try to overturn the election is sedition. By the way William Barr is a life long Republican and the majority of the supreme court judges are Republicans so you're argument about one party rule falls flat on it's face when you look at the facts.

  342.  @kaltenburg2637  but to answer your question we got to 8.5 billion ish people because food was cheap with ff driven mass production of poor quality food. It wasn't the outstanding healthcare of people living in the slums of India and China. In those slums in India the lifespan is something like 35 years old. That is the cost of your modern society.

    3
  345. Do we live in a democracy? Look at Bush v Gore. The supreme court handed Bush the election based on a coup started by his cousin and the GOP. The supreme court said in the ruling that it was a narrow focused decision. That means don't use this ruling to determine other cases in the future. Well fast forward to 2020 3 of the members of the Bush league team are now on the supreme court. Kavanaugh just used the Bush case as grounds for one of his rulings in direct conflict with the ruling itself being narrow in scope. So the issues with the electoral college aside are you so sure we live in a democracy? I have my doughts at this point.

  348. Storing it in waste pools on site that are extremely dangerous. Or moving it to dry flask storage that is equally dangerous.

  349. Gas exploration is not short term. It is faster to bring wind solar and storage on line then to build new ff infrastructure.

  351.  @JDGuitar82  this doesn't push the envelope we made orbital fights in the 1960 for far less cost. This just wastes carbon emissions we don't have for a 10 minute joyride. How many homes could have been powered by renewable energy for the same cost as this joyride?

  352. Because it was more profitable to just match demand to the current supply and charge more for the end products.

  363.  Internet Research Agency  I already have off grid solar and wood for my winter fuel needs. You choose the wrong person to say that too.
    3
  364.  Internet Research Agency  not any more so than in northern parts of the USA where I live solar is fine you just need to size for it the lattidude. As to wood since I burn wood off the same wood lot my family has for over 120 years and I burn dead wood stoping it from producing methane it lowers the greenhouse gases from my wood lot so no it is better to burn it then let it rot. You really need to get off the internet and get real life experience
    3
  365.  Internet Research Agency  oh and ofcourse one solution doesn't fit all with renewable energy. Some people will use hydro power some people will use off shore wind. You really doesn't deserve a handle about research your ignorance is amazing
    3
  366.  @chepyB  you can fear a vengeful being who lives in the sky. I will believe the scientists who proved it was our burning ff which caused this and stop burning ff. This is a man made disaster and the solution will come from mankind as well if we are to find one.

  367.  @stormelemental13  in other countries where their isn't large scale hydro dams the grid will be stabilized by storage technology like liquid air. The future is here now.

  368.  @shadowlord1418  It would require an in depth study of the population of the British empire to see if you are correct. I honestly don't know but suspect you are probably wrong. History definitely shows that those in power don't willingly give up that power without first using force to keep it. Look at the civial rights movement in the USA or any history of peaceful protest it is often if not always met with state sponsored violence. The 21st century is full of examples of state governments using violence against their citizens when the citizens demand change from the government. It spans from Asia through the middle east and North America. Be it the Hong Kong protest the Arab spring or the BLM movement the seens from the streets of citizens having chemical weapons band from war by international law used against then are the same.

  374. @DolphinsWIthIgloos the new deal definitely fed and housed millions of Americans during the 1930s. It also built renewable energy infrastructure that has powered a large percentage of this nation ever since and provides the resources needed to build the post war boom. The new deal and war time government spending is what put the USA on footing to be able to capitalize on the rebuilding of Europe and Asia post WWII. It was government funding of technology that made the advances during the war and it is government funded research that had created the tech boom since. Starwars under Reagan funded the microchip revolution which made computers possible. DARPA funding developed the technology of flat screens and micro chips that made cell phones possible. Even the technology to make the vaccine today is patterned by the us government. The reality is both Jeff Bezos through his cloud computing service and Elon Musk through his reusable rockets are dependent on government funding to build their wealth. Those are also the two most wealthy people on planet earth. Government funding has driven our economy since the great depression not corporations.
    2
  375. @DolphinsWIthIgloos printing money? So how much money did the federal reserve print as the buyer of last resort and pump into wallstreet to form the V shaped recovery in 2020? 20 trillion dollars or 10x the money you are worried about spending on actual jobs and roads. Yet I don't remember seeing you complain when the federal reserve became the buyer of last resort in 2020 for the first time in history. You need to study how our financial system works before you complain about printing money. Try googling Dylan Radigan on the topic.

  381.  @quantuman100  it also leaked out of the pipes used for natrual gas alot easier as it is a much smaller single structure. Much harder to transport and store.

  382.  @VFAHSN  what makes you think I like methane?
    2
  383.  @VFAHSN  actually I do collect my own wood off my 270 acre wood lot. More then enough natrual dead wood to heat my house. But I would highly recommend geothermal heat pumps for those of you who dont have your own wood lot. Or you can install solar thermal plus storage. There are plenty of alternatives to ff.
    2
  384. Yup but they will just call it once in a generation forgetting to mention they mean mayfly generations.

  391.  @cowboyx9380  you mean the golden age of growth after WWII in the USA when the top marginal tax rate was 90 percent? Nope that was horrible from the 40s to the 70s. What changed oh right we switched to trickle down economics in the 80s... Lower taxes and the companies stopped reinvesting the earing in the company and gave them to wallstreet instead.
    2
  392.  @SafwanNet  wow you have no argue against putting back half the 14% rate so you try to make the case that someone is arguing for 100% taxation. Amazing how poor a strawman argument that is.

  393. Could this reporting have any more corporation bias???
    2
  394. Amazing how the only tool they think will accelerate the transition to renewable energy is the market. But Germany didn't wait for the free market to build the new LNG port the government was able to figure out how to accelerate that ff energy infrastructure project

  400.  @chuckdawit  have you followed the cost reductions in renewable energy over the last decade? You might as well give up on the ICE because the first prototypes of the Model T failed to meet modern standards If you mean that the German government lacked the political will to end ff subsidies that only proves we need to have better leadership.
    2
  401. Can we end the ff era yet? Or do we need to wait for even more damage to the climate before we act?
    2
  402. Sounds like a good time to double down on renewable energy and storage technology. The fact that the expert things Russian oil wells are depleted doesn't look good for the future of the ff industry as they are one of the largest exporter in the world.

  409.  @GabidenZhazylbekov  billions of people in the Chinese army you say. Very impressive for a country with a population of 1.393 billion people. How did they get nearly twice as many people in the army then they have in their entire population???? You are a clown pulling your facts from your back side is how.
    2
  410. The problem is we are already over 1.3C increase and any new ff infrastructure need to be a standard asset if we will stay below 2C we don't have decades it needs for any new investments to make a return for the investors.

  411. You can't bomb fires. Don't feel embarrassed we had to tell trump he couldn't nuke a hurricane too.
    2
  412. Trump Tax 35% to 21% lost government revenue 1.9 trillion dollars over a decade. Biden 21% to 28% tax increase = 2 trillion dollars funding for infrastructure over 8 years. This must be new math when you get all the gains with have the tax increase.

  413.  @adelinrosca6649  but his policies including the tax cuts for the wealthy didn't expire when he left office unfortunately. However I suspect you are smart enough to know how laws last beyond the term of the president who signs them into being.

  414.  @adelinrosca6649  what do the spending habits of people have to do with corporations and their taxes? When we cut their taxes they just used the money for stock buybacks.

    2
  416.  @cowboyx9380  you can't find wind turbine technicians jobs in the rust belt? You should take to the local government in Ohio about why they are fighting the wind farms they are doing great in other states and the rust belt definitely has wind.

  419.  @cowboyx9380  please do tell where you got the 6 to 1 number because the ff industry definitely owned the gop. ExxonMobil literally put their CEO in the last administration Not to mention the self proclaimed billionaires businessman president. Pretty clear who runs the gop and it isn't the working class

    2
  423. So just like Paris they agreed to something that has no teeth and protects the status quo while acting like they are doing something. Or as Greta said more bla bla bla
    2
  424. Given that we are not seeing the effects of any ff we burned after 2012 yet those wars will be short lived as the last of the water goes away. Deserts are already backed into our climate from the ff we have consumed as half of all emmisions have happened in the last 2 decades

    2
  432. Too bad the same owner class peoblems exist the world over. Taxing the working class isn't the answer. Government funded renewable energy infrastructure and jobs for the working class is the solution. But global neoliberalism means what we get is taxes on the working class
    2
  433. The free market is suppose to provide a solution to this when the alternatives are less expensive. Off shore wind contracts in the UK are now the least expensive form of energy generation costing 1/4 that of gas powered electricity

  434.  @davezad  sure they spoil but to think that there is no other way to have shipped them is silly
    2
  435.  @MikeHunt-no2kt  people said the same thing about trump and the Republican party
    2
  436. Nuclear is literally the most expensive form of new energy generation. It would be crazy to build the most expensive form. Wind solar and storage are cheaper and the future based on ecominic alone.
    2
  437. All nations need to do all they can to be 100% renewable energy. The global nature of the climate crisis doesn't care who emits carbon.
    2
  438. Hopefully there will be a class action lawsuit against the ff industry for damages caused by their actions since they knew this was comming for over half a century and continued to pump oil anyway
    2
  439. Someone just learned how the advance of time works.
    2
  440. The Chinese government is why solar is cheap now. They literally spent a decade or more building the manufacturing capacity at the government costs. I was in Tiawan when the program ended. The Chinese government had literally covered all costs to setup solar factories and cover one years labor costs for any company that could get contracts for solar manufacturing production lines.
    2
  441. The free market has spoken the future is wind solar and storage. It is the cheapest form of new energy generation today.

  445.  @ytcensorhack1876  lol the great depression that is your argument when greed crashed the stock market that isn't even close to a small business problem. Talk about bad faith arguments or a lack of understanding of history. How many small businesses are listed on the stock exchange?
    2
  446.  @ytcensorhack1876  the funny part is you have turned this into a discussion about the banking sector when I made a simple point about large businesses not banks in particular. You must feel guilty to make this about your sector. Have a nice day

  447. Join the people's party and the fight for rank choice voting. We need to atleast vote 3rd party to show the two party monopoly that they are losing authority. They don't care about the half of all Americans who don't vote because they have only given their power to the ones who vote. Rank choice voting and more parties are the only way to take power from the monopoly

  449.  @jennifercuddy5663  go to the people's party YouTube channel and follow the movement it is about much more than a single person
    2
  450. Not really. 2 trillion would only fix our current failing infrastructure if 100% went to roads and bridges. This is a half measure that fails to rise to the challenges of our time. But it is what you can expect from the current political system. If you want a plan for the future you need to fight for rank choice voting and the people's party

  451. Apparently the humans did it strawberries are the priority in a drought.

  452. If only there was an alternative some way to put sheets of glass in the sun and get electricity without burning something. Or maybe something that you could hand outside on a windy day to spin and make power...
    2
  453.  @RazorMouth  the free market has spoken nuclear is the most expensive form of new energy generation. Wind solar and storage are the cheapest solution for the power grid.

  454. @Rod Williams the money is comming from the government. Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk both made their fortune off the federal government

  455.  @Legyun  don't worry they can find other work just like the factory workers in the rust belt...
    2
  456.  @JJS_11  but the truckers are they have one of the highest turnover rates in the USA about 6 months is all it takes to burn out most of them.
    2
  457.  @tuck295q  lol sure he need them to crush Detroit so he can gain market share at the moment
    2
  458.  @tuck295q  Elon is getting more fleet orders for his semi than he can hope to fill. The independent truckers are not an issue when it comes to selling them. Pepsi, Budweiser and Walmart are among the early customers. Those are volume sales where they can afford the mega chargers. Good luck getting a charger for a semi at your home in rural America

  459.  CRAM MARC  last time I checked it was illegal to obstruct traffic so you should have a good case get the police to impound them
    2
  460.  @darkdan3379  the real answer is the barrons of industry being good caplistist see all labor as a cost to be minimized. I was at the large group meeting in the early 2000s when the CEO of Osram told that to his own employees. It didn't improve moral at the plant.
    2
  461.  @stevedevice1866  same point that it could easly be fixed.
    2
  462.  @tjmarx  no they will have a second empty pipeline. RT had an article the other day saying the reduction in exports was to insire they have supply for domestic needs as they expect a cold winter with high domestic demand.
    2
  463. One more reason to build more disturbed solar. No power lines or power plants to be targets in a war.
    2
  464.  @cccc2740  you are still deflecting attention from those with the power to do something and blaming those who are powerless. Individual actions won't solve a society wide problem alone.
    2
  465.  @cccc2740  I mean you throwing away 19 pairs of shoes won't end the climate crisis. Individual actions alone won't fix a society wide problem. Seems like you are trying hard to miss the point
    2
  466. Agree to return to the post WWII map with the USSR and the USA locked in a nuclear cold war??? That is the good old peace you are talking about. Only make it a 3 way cold war with China and Russia in a mutual defense pack. Oh the good old days somehow they where never as great as you remember them.
    2
  467. I love how replacing demand from coal would be easy but gas is hard per her comments. It seems to me that replacing electricity demand is the same regardless of what power plant made the electricity in the first place.
    2
  468.  @fredkrause4509  so homes don't have electricity power lines to power other hot water heaters??? Or is there a shortage of plumbers to install them? Seems swapping out appliances is something we understand well in our modern society we replace them every 7 years anyway.
    2
  469. Good thing this wasn't a balloon those require millions of dollars worth of missiles to shoot down.
    2
  470. @Mohammed A why make the false choice between two evils when we have renewable energy plus storage at a lower cost?
    2
  471. @Mohammed A the only issue with renewable energy plus storage is the lack of political will to build it.
    2
  472. @Eric who said I wanted to break water? Pumped hydro doesn't involve splitting water.
    2
  473.  @Korovkin_Pavel  lol Russian Nuclear Plants sure you can build them cheap if you don't kind the occasional nuclear meltdown.
    2
  474.  @Korovkin_Pavel  oh as to when the wind stops blowing. Too funny you have never heard of energy storage.
    2
  475. Because 8 millionaires in the Democratic party and all the Republican millionaire in Congress know they are wealthy because the deny the working class a living wage. We need rank choice voting and a people's party or the millionaires will continue to increase income inequality forcing more Americans to literally live in their cars or on the streets. 20 billion dollars would end homelessness in America. We just passed our second almost 2 trillion dollar package in a years and created 20 trillion dollars in new currency yet out of all that money no member of Congress fought to say put in the 20 billion that will end homelessness for our most at need citizens. Tells you everything you need to know when Elon Musk getting billions to build rockets that blow up after landing is more important than ending homelessness.
    2
  476. Time to buy a Tesla they are the most American made auto and not dependent on the bridges in question as the factory is no where near it. This will ironically help the EV automotive industry grow and the ICE fall.
    2
  477.  @ArawnOfAnnwn  the biggest issue with beef can be solved by diet that helps them break down methane. But honestly the climate crisis wasn't caused by cows because they never added one molecule of carbon to the biosphere your car did that when the ff industry pumped it out of the wells.
    2
  478.  @newyork2021  millions dead. Your denialism is a disgrace
    2
  479.  @mirekslechta7161  look up Mutually Assured Destruction you will learn something as clearly you didn't understand what winning wars between nuclear powers looks like.
    2
  480.  @jakeg3126  India literally made and exported most of the vaccine used in the USA. Your ignorance of how outsourcing works is amazing
    2
  481.  @0dyss3us51  people once thought the same thing about building war machines. But the government mandated that corporations build what was needed and the allied forces won WWII
    2
  482.  @BonsuBigWhale  so how many decades ago did they start working on the vaccine for a virus that didn't exist before 2019??? Your argument doesn't pass the sniff test when the virus was only discovered months before they vacillated the first people. Just to help you with the math if it takes decades plural to develop a vaccine for covid 19 we would see the first clinical test trials in 2039 as it would take 20 plus years to develop the vaccine by your theory for a virus discovered in 2019
    2
  483. One more story brought to you by the ff industry.
    2
  484. @Coffee Lover without putin there would be no war to watch he is the one who invaded a sovereign nation and threatened nuclear war.
    2
  485.  @qhuizatlantis8484  so now ExxonMobil is your god??? This is a direct result of the ff industry products used over the last century.
    2
  486.  @sync232  clearly you are clueless about the project to get 100% renewable energy baseload electricity to the UK or you would know the current source of electricity isn't the point it is the future I am discussing. We can today build 100% renewable baseload power for half the cost of Hinkley point nuclear power. That is a game changer and nuclear power is done.
    2
  487. You start by naming the countries which are "doing just fine" with a global pandemic.
    2
  488.  @AA-td1yw cases of covid per world meters info online which has been considered one of the better websites for the last year USA 34,420,284 India 30,002,691 Now technically we have more cases but if you think the numbers are off you should consider what percentage of the poor in india where never reported as covid moved through there slums. I am willing to guess that even besides the fact that we have vaccinated a higher percentage of our population that India has had more deaths. Of course per capita we will have failed worse so far because we have a far smaller percentage of the global population but mostly that is simply do to our country getting off to an earlier start. Brazil is also right up there with us per capita and they lack the vaccine adoption rate that we have. So just wait the rest of the world will continue to suffer worse not that I am happy about that. I believe non of us are safe until all of us are which is why I think we need to end profiteering off the pandemic and make enough vaccine for the global population

  489.  Shayne Meidle  funny because all she did was hold mic and let the Israeli citizens speak
    2
  490.  Shayne Meidle  watch the video it hard to see what context would make the answers acceptable
    2
  491.  Shayne Meidle  but do tell in what context is saying you want to commit genocide acceptable? I will wait while you rationalize when people should call for genocide because I don't know a single time when it is acceptable it is a war crime and crime against humanity that those Israeli citizens called for on camera.
    2
  492.  @Justagamerhere1  you think corporations don't use all the available loopholes already how cute.
    2
  493.  Joe Xavier  why these companies didn't offshore in 2016 when they paid 35% so why offshore in 2021 at 28%
    2
  494. Maybe Germany should invest 2% of GDP into renewable energy and geothermal heating as apposed to F35 fighter jets and other weapons systems.
    2
  495.  @MoireFly  I am pretty sure NATO has a robust military without investing more in the profits of the military industrial complex. I suspect the combined NATO "defense budget" exceeds the GDP of Russia let alone their military budget.
    2
  496.  @Spartan-jg4bf  you claim to be in the European energy sector and don't know Vestas is working with Modvion the swedish firm making wooden bases for their wind turbines. So your comments about ignorance where pure projection.
    2
  497. XLinks has done that 100% renewable energy baseload electricity for the UK at half the cost of Hinkley Point.
    2
  498. It would be below the cost of any US for profit hospital
    2
  499. Can't see any reason from history to think Germany sending tanks to fight Russian troops would end poorly...

  500. Last time I checked the sun didn't send a bill for my solar panels.

  501. @sam rut when you go against science and the limits of our technology you are a conspiracy theorist. The media has nothing to do with it. Tell me how do they put 5 micro chips into one vaccine bottle so small they fit through the eye of a needle but extract them with a syringe one at a time and know who gets which one??? Crazy town is where anyone lives who believes we have the ability to do what you suggest.
    2
  502.  @billyjoesmo8251  so you are a defeatist got it.
    2
  503. Money left over???? You are kidding right $1400 in a one time payment for Americans who are upwards to a year behind on rent and mortgage payments won't come close to meeting the needs. 1 in 3 Americans will still be looking at eviction.
    2
  504.  @AndresMenard  the vast majority of cities are on the coast offshore wind is the logical solution for them. The renewable energy future will not be a one solution fits all world it will depend on what your local resources are what is the best answer. But there are many good renewable energy sources to choose from.
    2
  505. @sam rut one in the same thing. The conspiracy theories against this vaccine is the same as those used against all vaccines.
    2
  506.  @needmoreramsay  your freedom to choose ends when it endangers someone elses life in our society. You don't have the freedom to choose to murder people with a loaded gun or to physically assault them. You don't have the freedom to choose to get other people sick with a deadly virus either.
    2
  507.  @deezimmo4814  you need to not get your "science" from the Hollywood move the day after tomorrow.
    2
  508. I am pretty sure buying an EV will do both as they have far fewer moving parts and fewer repairs plus they get rid of that exhaust system that is expensive to replace and pumps out CO2
    2
  509.  @jrocks6969  keep rationalizing your roll in the 6th mass extinction event. The ff era will end one way or the other the question is does all human life on earth end with it or do we move on before we take our place along side the dinosaurs in the architectural history of this planet.
    2
  510.  @danbo967  the OP is pointing out that DW does the same thing. They don't run stories about topics the French government and their corporate sponsors dont want run either.
    2
  511. Spoken like a modern dinosaur watching the 6th mass extinction event.
    2
  512. Only so long as the ff industry gets to control how goverment spending is allocated. WWII showed how quickly the world can change manufacturing capacity if we choose.
    2
  513.  @davidhynes  wow someone worried about a failed oil state crushed under the weight of US sanctions all to get cheaper crude oil for Koch industries refineries.
    2
  514.  @gdiwolverinemale2745  who drives on their rooftop???
    2
  515. They clash with all of humanity as you want to keep burning ff that is causing the 6th mass extinction event
    2
  516.  Internet Research Agency  neither do trolls but this is bigger than the environment. Funny that someone who calls themselves research agency doesn't know what mass extinction means.
    2
  517.  @bill8711  and half of Canada and Russia, oh and the Amazon. In a few months it will be Australia again. Probably totaling a land mass greater than Europe where you live but sure just downplay it to just California if that helps you sleep.
    2
  518.  @yumbam5546  40% of the USA corn harvest isnt suitable for human consumption? That is pretty unbelievable.
    2
  519.  @calvinhoward3808  since the war started before we planted we should have planted different varieties. But most all of the verities can be made into edible flour. I raised cattle corn for decades and while it might not taste great or was perfectly edible for humans.
    2
  520. And yet his administration keeps issuing thousands of drilling permits for the ff industry. The USA needs to ban all fracking and new ff infrastructure peojects and switch to 100% renewable energy. We need to act like this is an emergency not just say it is an emergency and continue the status quo that caused it in the first place.
    2
  521.  @doylecastanie1903  yup because neoliberalism has endless money for the weapons of war to ship to Ukraine. But money to help farmers would never get approved by the same elites in the USA who with bipartisan support spent 58 billion to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.
    2
  522.  Konsta T Pashion  it was government funding that made the vast majority of all new technology in the last century. Solar panels are from NASA needing energy for space exploration. Made cost effective by the China government funding manufacturing capacity. The amount of technology that comes from DARPA is almost endless including the cell phones and flat screens. Ronald Reagan's star wars program funded the micro chip revolution. So tell me what solutions are you thinking of that the private sector developed without government funding? Because I can't think of any.
    2
  523.  @GnosticAtheist  if you don't know about the climate crisis and 6th mass extinction you are half a century out of date on your information.
    2
  524. History teaches us no government has ended its authoritarian abuse of their own citizens without the rebellious citizens taking extreme action. Study the history of democracy. The French revolution and the American revolutions where not peaceful processes. The arguement that the oppressed should be held back from acting out against their oppressors only reinforces the power of the ruling class.
    2
  525.  @daybyday-365-4U  wow you get a gold Q award the conspiracy theories are winning with this one
    2
  526. Correct the green new deal is how we end the oil wars.
    2
  527. If it is so hard to ship maybe they should do small scale distributed manufacturing. Oh that would make it harder to protect their trade secrets and maximize profits.

  530. The gulf of Mexico was on fire this summer too fire is hotter than norm water temperature also a fun fact I guess...
    2
  531.  @MelkorPT  so you give away weapons of war and pay for electricity from the same people. Odd sence of ethics
    2
  532. You have to live in the society you want to change. But nice try at deflection
    2
  533. We will hold them accountable by passing the green new deal and ending the ff era making SA nothing but a valueless desert.
    2
  534.  @EB-du3vh  funny because I thought it was called stock buybacks after the trump tax cuts.
    2
  535.  @EB-du3vh  for regular citizens the USA has an alternative minimum tax. I know I paid it one year. My question is simply is this 15% going to be calculated the same as the ATM for citizens or do they get to use the loopholes and tax accountants to avoid paying the 15%. Why is that hard for you to understand as a valid question?
    2
  536. Shoppers need to be more flexible in what they buy for food and accept it will cost them more too. So long as there is a demand for lemons and avocados but not for olives the farmers will have no choice. They shouldn't grow crops that they can't sell and earn a living on. Not to mention that lemons are a multi year investment in the orchards. Not an annual crop you can change every year.

  540.  @dacadz  so you think there was no way to move 2 senators when the entire relief bill was in the ballance. You know it will never pass alone but you don't care. Got it
    2
  541.  @MrZozue  wrong a lack of supply of ff is causing the high prices the lowering of demand with renewable energy will lower the cost. You failed basic supply and demand economics

  542. Time to replace those gas stoves with electric induction stoves no one should be cooking on gas in 2022.
    2
  543.  @andrei-lucianserb1771  jeff Bezos just tried to get 10 billion dollars for the moon landing alone from the federal government. The senator from Washington state did get it passed in the Senate but it was removed from the bill in the house. That same 10 billion dollars would provide tinny houses for half of all the homeless in the USA. Tell me do you think Jeff Bezos moon landing something the federal government achieved in the 1960s for far less than 10 billion dollars will employ more people than building homes for half of the homeless in the USA? If you do you definitely need to provide some figures to back that claim up. As AOC has said there is no shortage of work that needs to be done with the Green New Deal what we lack is the political will to do it. As to advancing technology lets advance batteries and renewable energy not rockets and weapons systems. Because don't fool yourself those rockets double as supersonic missile systems it is why the defense department funds both SpaceX and Jeff Bezos rocket company which lost the free market bidding and begged for government welfare.

  553.  Joe Xavier  these companies didn't leave when the tax was 35% they won't leave when it is 28%. Because 28<35 which means they still get to make 7% more profit than they found acceptable in 2016.

  557.  @redwhite_040  are you in love with wasting the most money on the most expensive form if new energy or just the transfer of wealth to the caplistist class? Because those are the only advantages to nuclear power.

  566.  @algirdas6012  poor political planning. That is your argument? This is the level of argument you get from adult children of alcoholics which is fitting as you defend your addiction to ff.
    2
  567.  @algirdas6012  you argue about funding for development of renewable energy than complaining about the one country that drove the price of solar panels down over the last couple of decades making bad choices. I think you are the one who is off course.

  568.  @bobdylan9117  giving someone money definitely gives you the authority to set the terms of the agreement. That is fundamental to how our entire economy functions.

  570. Nuclear power is the single most expensive form of new energy generation today. No one should want to waste money on this technology.
    2
  571.  @garry8390  you are the one with a shallow understanding of nuclear power as you have no clue what a peoblem half a century of nuclear waste has left behind.
    2
  572. Funny how you hear people take about debt when it comes to politics they dont like but never when it comes to the military spending the same amount of money on their "Ferrari" of fighter jets they only want to fly one day a week. When the military came asking for another trillion dollars to make the Lamborghini to park beside the F35 their own generals called a Ferrari the right wing just said sure please take trillions from the tax payers and build another military fighter jet you dont want to fly.
    2
  573.  @paulschmidts5429  why the false choice? I would rather we all install more wind turbines and solar panels they will being us power far faster than any nuclear power plant. Probably faster then rebuilding a decommissioned coal plant as well.
    2
  574.  @marinaclarasanchezsuarez2905  while there is no going back we need to do everything we can ASAP to limit all future damage to the only biosphere that supports human life in the entire universe. I know am fully aware that the effects lag emmisions by a full decade and that half of all emmisions have happened in the last 2 decades so things will definitely continue to get worse for the climate emergency than we see today. However that is a call to act with urgency to end the ff era. To do otherwise is to embrace the 6th mass extinction event already in progress on the only planet that supports human life
    2
  575.  @bozo8894  it is safe to bet that there will be opportunities to rebuild just look at the photos. .
    2
  576.  @KennyNGA  is there a really good example of democracy today? The globalism of capitalism has pretty much insured oligarchy is a world wide form of government. Just look at the current elections in the USA our "choice" was neoliberalism or fascism. We could choose the continuation of the trump administration or the return to the administration that gave us trump. Either way I am reminded of Warren Buffett saying this is class warfare and my class is winning.
    2
  577.  @canto_v12  have you been to Tiawan? I spent 18 months living there. There are some good things about their society for sure they did much better with the pandemic response then the USA. But they definitely suffer from the class warfare of neoliberalism and globalization. I got to see first hand how the owners of the company live compared to the workers. So no not really a good example of how democracy should work in the interests of the working class over the wealthy minority.
    2
  578.  @nntflow7058  you trust the same industry who said the old technology was perfectly safe when it as new technology. How cute.
    2
  579. Yup stop electing millionaires to government if you want that to change. Fight for rank choice voting and join the people's party.
    2
  580. You should try listening to the video before you comment it will make you look like less of a paid troll for the ff industry in your denial. Then lean how renewable energy is actually produced and stored.
    2
  581.  @PistonAvatarGuy  plenty of places have huge hydro. But the nice thing about electricity is the ability to store it many way. Storage isn't a problem. I use batteries for my off grid solar system. Some places will use grid scale thermal mass or liquified air storage. 100% renewable energy is completely possible and the future no matter how much you try to deny it or say it can't be done the world is changing.
    2
  582.  @PistonAvatarGuy  like I said the single most expensive form of energy. You must love over paying for things. Nuclear power is the single most expensive form of new power generation
    2
  583.  @nemo4evr  agreed but mostly they are determining what percentage they need to bribe politicians like Joe Manchin with.
    2
  584. ​ @adriangutierrez8657 so they don't deserve a wage equal to the cost of living in society? I am guessing since the start of the war in Ukraine their cost of living has grown much faster then their wages. But apparently you are not one of them so it doesn't matter to you that their standard of living is declining.

  592.  @tonyvu2011  well if you are volunteering to be part of the 6th mass extinction event you can definitely do so but I choose to live. If you want to call keeping a planet that supports human life selfishness then you got me. But I would say to do otherwise is suicidal.

  593.  @michaelmcfeely6588  well the solar system I installed at my farm has allowed me to be 100% off grid and will pay for itself in 9 years with a 25 year warranty on all components except the batteries which are 12 years. So what going renewable has done for me is save money for me and make me energy independent. Does that make me one of the special interest groups the left loves the American small farmer?

  594. Because in decades of trying humans can't match a tree at carbon capture and it isn't possible to scale those to the size we need to offset our emissions. We need to leave carbon in the ground first not try to catch it after we release it

  596. The federal reserve has literally printed record levels of currency for 2 decades. With no inflation problem. There are decades of evidence to prove that talking point wrong. This is corporate greed. Companies set the price of goods they are the ones who are raising their prices.

  597. We failed when we believed the wealthy business owners who put their profits over all else. The GOP in Texas literally said people will have to die for the economy we now see what they ment was half a million Americans and counting. We also see that Texas had put profits over reliability in their power grid and that it is less reliable than the power grid in Afghanistan.

  598. It probably has to do with a lack of ff resources. The countries which don't have a profit motive to keep the ff industry alive will be the first to leave in on the past.

I mean if they vaccinate 100% of the worlds population and end the pandemic how will they continue to make a profit off the technology next year? This is about protecting a profit center not saving humanity.

  601.  @mr.chuckleteeth4382  your comment makes no sence at all? Are you celebrating the fact that the ff industry has knowingly caused the 6th mass extinction event and set in motion the end of life on the only planet which supports human life? Because it sounds like you are calibrating genocide

  605.  @matthewgibbs6886  putting batteries in the building site that would store onsite power for days or having backup generators on site with stored fuel on site would keep the power on so long as the building itself stood. After the building fails there isn't anything to plug in. But it is more profitable to not invest in backup generators and storage but to depend on the grid. So no there are solutions that are reliant to the winds in question just that good caplistist find it cheaper to hang wires on wooden poles and replace them after the wind blows them down. After all it won't be the caplistist class who suffer they hope into the trump tax write off private jet and fly away until after the grid is back up.

  607.  @johnwattdotca  you need to study the post WWII monetary system if you don't understand how the USA is able to keep increasing our monetary system without deflation of the dollar. It has to do with being the stand for international trade. Oil is just one of many things that are traded in dollars. Solar panels and wind turbines would work just as well.

  608.  @hemanshuchudasama3535  in the USA both the house and Senate have to pass the same legislation before it becomes law. 6 members of the house could stop this bill from becoming law same as 8 members of the Senate stopped the house version of this bill from becoming law because they wanted to deny Americans a living wage. But neither the house or the Senate can pass law on their own. Our system is designed to protect the status quo.

  632. Why waste money on the most expensive form of new energy generation? Wind solar and grid scale storage is the answer far less expensive than ff or nuclear.
    1
  633.  @quirky-smooths  as to your complaint about infrastructure building a pipeline from Russia that they don't fill has worked out so well for Germany you should definitely keep investing in Russian gas to have them cut your supplies off as apposed to renewable energy inside your own country you control. Great idea
    1
  634. Nope it is the single most expensive form of new energy generation. Nuclear is a dead industry. Wind solar and storage is the future they already win on the cost so the market has spoken ff and nuclear lost.

  637.  @EQOAnostalgia  where did I say guns were not a problem?? As to cows that is funny because you don't even understand enough of their digestive system to know which end the methane comes out let alone that a simple dietary supplement will stop the production of methane and improve their health. But sure blame the cows not the ff industry which pumps carbon out of the ground and leaks methane all of which was sequestered before either cows or humans evolved. The scientists are clear this is a human caused climate crisis causing the 6th mass extinction.
    1
  638. Of course the US government is arguing for all the wrong reasons. This like all oil projects will cause more flooding and more forest fires. This is why future generations will have to deal with even more climate crisis problems

  639.  @VFAHSN  you need to do your homework. There are plenty of plans for a pathway to 100% renewable energy on a global scale. Google can help you find them. We don't need ff and in fact if we want a planet that supports human life we can't continue to use it end of story. By the way I am at 42 north lattidude and have a off grid solar system which provides enough electricity for my entire house including electric stove hot water. I am planing on installing subfloor heating and a thermal mass to store the excess solar thermal energy for heating my house so I dont have to do the work of getting wood. So sure maybe in the artic circle the solar system won't work in the winter wind will by the way the north sea has plenty of wind. Cities are a resource issue no matter how you slice it. But I ask you do you want to be part of the 6th mass extinction event? I personally dont so I am doing all I can to avoid it

  642.  @fedcoin1602  you need to study why Hydrogen is a bad idea in pipelines. If you did you would know it is far more likely to leak and then burn or explode then natrual gas which also leaks out of those pipelines. Both are bad technologies. We have much better ways to make and store electricity in 2020 to meet our energy needs
    1
  643.  @fedcoin1602  in the case of the story the entire dream of a hydrogen economy is a pipedream or gaslighting us. Trying to convince us that this investment in the ff industry won't simply be a stranded assets as we transmission away from ff to avoid the 6th mass extinction event caused by the ff industry.

  649. 8 millionaires in the Democratic party just stopped millions of the least paid Americans getting a raise. I wouldn't be too impressed with that accomplishment. $1400 one time payment interchange for a raise from $7.2 to $15 per hour is a very bad trade for the working class Americans. But it was a great deal for the 8 millionaires who get paid $1054 per day by the American taxpayers and got to keep paying those taxpayers they employ $56 per day worked.

  655. You know the GOP rushed her onto the court because they know they will not have the votes to even keep control of the Senate. There was no other reason to hold an illegitimate vote in the committee breaking the committee rules. She should be removed by the next Senate on those grounds alone. Graham and Mitch McConnell broke the senate rules to get her appointed that shows how scared they are. It also shows you they are fascists who believe the ends justify the means.

  656.  @onestepaway3232  Seven Members of the Committee, actually present, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of discussing business. Nine Members of the Committee, including at least two Members of the minority, shall constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business.  Senate.gov › judiciary › about › rules Committee Rules - Senate Judiciary Committee The senate can not vote on a nominee until after the judiciary committee holds a vote to advance the nominee to the full senate which requires a quorum that Graham didn't have so his vote to advance her to the Senate was illegitimate making the Senate vote to appoint her to the court the fruit of the poisoned tree.
    1
  657.  @onestepaway3232  you can feel free to try and find the rule that the Democratic party violated by not attending the vote. But you will find there are non requiring that senators show up for votes. So they didn't break the rules. It is a valid method of delaying a vote same as Mitch McConnell used to make sure Obama didn't fill court appointments including a supreme court nominee. As far as I am concerned turnabout is fair play the Democratic party didn't do anything that Mitch McConnell hasn't already done.

  659.  @onestepaway3232  it is telling that you think it is impossible to get enough support from the other party to get 2 members to show up for a vote though. It proves that you believe the majority should have full control of the Senate

  661.  @Dustie1984  nice deflection but the fact remains the first problem is that intellectual property rights have limited the manufacturing capacity so we do not have the 16 billion vaccine shots to give everyone on planet earth. Everything after that fact is a distraction because you are distracting from the fundamental supply problem caused by caplistist profit motives. In the USA we proved when the government provides the vaccine for free it is easy enough to get everyone who is willing vaccinated in a few short months we got over 60% or the population atleast one shot.

  664.  @zoomzoom3950  as a caplistist you should look forward to the increased profit margin of installing the cheapest form of new power generation today which is renewable plus storage. Nothing leftists about wanting to use the most cost effective solution and conserve a planet that supports human life. That seems pretty caplistist and conservative to me.
    1
  665.  @jasip1000  we can switch much faster if we make it a priority. History has shown us how to do that and I for one wish the USA my country would send solar panels not troops and bombs.
    1
  666.  @zoomzoom3950  it looks to me like those depending on ff energy are lacking it and paying more today. So much so that the UK has shutdown their fertilizer production plant. I think you are just scared that you won't make money when renewable energy become a sustainable resource. Hard to profit off selling people energy when they collect it off their own roof and property.
    1
  667.  @zoomzoom3950  lol wow when you resort to calling me a communist I know I hit a nerve. You are definitely showing that you fear the day you can't use energy as a commodity because too many people like myself have invested in our own solar power plus storage.

The reality is the avg person doesn't know or care if their power company burns coal or uses renewable energy so long as the light switch turns the lights on and the stove cooks dinner Renewable energy is now the cheapest form of new energy and EV have the lowest total cost of ownership.

  691. Ofcourse it was a sucess the response from NATO has been increased spending on military budgets which drive oil sales. A failure for Russia would have been NATO commiting hundreds of billions to renewable energy to end the ff era. Instead we are spending hundreds of billions on more ff based infrastructure and technology which will insure the higher priced ff continues to be in high demand for the next half century. Job well done by the ff controlled government of Russia.

  694.  @faber7507  nuclear waste will kill humans for over a century. We know for a fact that in 80 years time there will have to be a 3 containment building built around Chernobyl. Not to mention all the spent nuclear waste in the USA sitting at the sites of all the dismantled nuclear power plants. It is a disaster waiting to happen and a burden left on untold generations yet to be born. Nuclear power was a bad idea when it was first dreamed up and a worse idea now that we have less expensive less dangerous alternatives. Dumping money into nuclear power is the definition of government waste and fraud.

Nuclear is dead the free market killed it.

  698.  @VFPn96kQT  solar panels are not an exclusion zone they are roofs. Chernobyl and Fukushima are exclusion zones because people die from the radioactive waste there.

  715.  @ksztyrix  I think a business profits tax is paid from the profits. The history of the USA proves this point from the 40s through the 60s we taxed corporations and the wealthy. There was a golden age of growth for the working class. In the 80s Ronald Reagan and trickle down economics flip that to taxing the working class not the wealthy and we saw the creation of the rust belt as the barrons of industry took their tax cuts and built factories over seas.
    1
  716.  @ksztyrix  taxes on their profits force them to reinvest those same dollars into the company be that labor force with better pay and benefits to improve the worker satisfaction and performance or to reinvest in the company itself in the form of new equipment which means more economic growth for the companies supplying the new manufacturing equipment. This is proven in the history of the USA. We saw more growth when it was in the companies interests to provide for the workers and invest in the company or pay taxes to the government. We lowered their tax burden in the age of Republican trickle down economics and saw the growth of billionaires and stock buybacks while workers pay stagnated and jobs where exported. The history is clear we tax the wealthy they invest in their workers and companies we don't tax the wealthy the take the money for their own greed. You just refuse to learn the lessons of the last century.

  723. @noazucar why do you think Charles Koch wants a competitive free market? He wants a monopoly in his refineries like all good caplistist who have won in our caplistist society. Caplitsam is about getting a monopoly so you can maximize return on your capital. The free market is a fairytale sold to the working class to make them believe that inequality is somehow good for them as companies now have the highest profit margins in 70 years. Sad you don't see through that yet.

The we won't accept a reasonable profit margin so you have to allow us to have a monopoly and price gouge or we we will close shop. I say ok if the private sector doesn't want to exist in the medical field we will simply nationalize them and let the government hire the scientists. There is no place for a profit motive when someone's life depends on getting the cure anyway.

But in the lifetime of the children in school today our greed and dependency on ff will end the ability of this planet to support the lifestyle we depend on.

  752.  @Joe-yh7eb  you can't compete with their lower taxes either we spend more than the next 10 countries combined on our military that money has to come from somewhere. Which is why your approach is a race to the bottom. As we have seen with unfettered capitalism over the last century

    1
  754.  @chiefearthhealer8099  so why do you want to spend more more to get those things? Nuclear power plants is literally the most expensive form of new energy before you get to the waste disposal issues. Wind and solar are literally the two least expensive forms of new energy. Why would you push the most expensive form which also requires storage as it doesn't ramp up to meet demand curves. We developed pump hydro dams in the 60s because nuclear needed the storage. Wind and solar also make more jobs per megawatt and they are good paying jobs. Oh and small waste that is radioactive for longer than humans have existed as a species isn't really a good feature of nuclear power as we already have nuclear power plants that are decommissioned with their waste pools left all over this country with no way to actually clean it up. Thanks for reminding me of the technology problem with the most expensive form of power.

  761.  @Joe-yh7eb  oh your waking up from your dream. Maybe you will also learn that corporations never paid the 94% tax you accused FDR of putting on them. That the only tax that was ever in the 90% range was on income over what the avg American could earn in a lifetime earned in a single year. No one needs more income in a single year than the avg American earns in a lifetime. Oh and you are decades too early for that tax rate and with the wrong political party. So beside that sure.

I mean do you think we get fuel for nuclear power plants or the cement to build them without mining? Do you think we have endless amounts of water for thermal power plants to operate on which isn't needed for wind solar and storage? You seem to believe the current technology doesn't require resources.

The Defense production act actually gives the government the right to take the entire company and nationalize the production lines not just use the intellectual property. Trumped signed the authorization of usage of the DPA with respect to covid so the stock holders should be happy their share price didn't drop to zero

  816.  @manumano3887  if you believe that share holders need to be compensated for their loses you need to read the fine print.

Sorry if you didn't understand that simple fact when you made an investment.

But that doesn't change the fact that federal government has more authority than state government in our constitution. At the moment it falls to state laws because there is no federal law once Congress passes federal law it will become the law of the land regardless of what the states rule same as the federal court ruling in Roe applied to all 50 states making the more restrictive laws in the states non enforceable for the last half century because the states rights are limited by the federal government not the other way around.

Only by looking at the per capita can you see that it is a lifestyle caused peoblem.

  839.  @littlefinger4509  you are intentionally missing the point the problem is the top 1% who generate more pollution than the bottom 3.5 billion humans on planet earth.

Today in a global pandemic you believe profits are more important than lives how sad.

  846.  @eduwino151  millions you say.. wow that would be impressive if we didn't have 7.8 billion people needing two doses each of the vaccine. So you are excited that we will have millions of doses to fit a demand for 15.6 billion. Last time I checked billions are several orders of magnitude larger than millions. India alone needs 2.8 billion doses for their own population. But heck dont worry there will be millions to meet the needs of billions.

As to fertilizer Nitrogen makes up the bulk of our atmosphere. I have a small farm and haven't used chemical fertilizers or pesticides in over 30 years with no harm to my crop yields. The ones dreaming are those who think we will continue to live the Petro chemical lifestyle in the future. The end of the ff era is here now or the end of life on planet earth. Seems like an easy choice to me but then I already made it decades ago and have been reducing my consumption as much as my budget will allow for decades.

  885.  @edix1673  what you must do at home is push for a structural change to the political system that will build the political will to act. In the USA that means fight for rank choice voting to end the duopoly. In France it means protest like the farmers and yellow vest movements. In the UK it means Join XR because they are the only thing I see from the outside standing up to the establishment and putting political pressure on the politicians.
    1
  886.  @cccc2740  the hippies tried to end the climate crisis in the 1970s through individual action. If that approach worked we never would have burned more than half the ff ever burned as we have done that in the last 2 decades after over half a century of trying to solve the problem with individual actions. To fail to understand that is to willfully blame the powerless and let those with the actual power to solve the problem off the hook.
    1
  887.  @cccc2740  no by all means live the best you can I am trying to lead by example. I grow my own food and can it in the same canning jars that my grandfather used and have served my family for generations now. But I don't go around telling people if only they lived as frugally as I do we wouldn't have a climate crisis. Because I know the truth is the US military is the worlds single largest consumer of ff and no individual actions will end their burning ff just like no one choosing to stay home and not fly to Disneyland won't end the airline industry or replace it with renewable energy powered high speed trains. It will take collective pressure on our politicians to pass legislation to end the ff era and keep a planet that supports human life. So by all means live frugally but it won't fix the problem it will only drive people away from your cause when you tell them they have to sacrifice their luxuries whatever those might be.

I would focus on wind solar and geothermal heating. Also increased building insulation in places where it is lacking apparently that is a big problem still in the UK according to the insulate Britian movement anyway. But as oil is a global market all of NATO should make a war time effort to transition away from ff. If we did this globally we could easily replace the demand that Russia produces.

Carbon from plants to animals is the natural carbon cycle and not the problem

  959.  @dimitrivisser27  I wonder if you even realize you are making an argument for socialism.
    1
  960.  @dimitrivisser27  the government employing the contractors is definitely socialism. We socialized the defense production because there isn't a profit motive for companies to stock pile weapons on the hope that the government might some day choose to invade a country and need a new fighter jet. So yes the defense budget is socialism. We have a mixed economy. I didn't call it communism because I actually understood the meaning of the words unlike people on the right who use them interchangeably. But I noticed you avoided the fact that those same workers could be better employed. Or do you think that my two best Friends having PTSD and 80% military disability from their role in the 2 decade old oil wars was just a jobs program with an acceptable side effect to keep those military contractors employed? I happen to believe it was a needless destruction of the lives of two very healthy happy young mens lives.
    1
  961.  @dimitrivisser27  you still haven't told me why it is a good jobs program to have my two best friends 80% disabled and suffering PTSD. Or why we need to spend more than the next 10 countries combined on the military? How is that a good investment?

  963.  @dimitrivisser27  oh and please explain why the population of the United States is relevant to a discussion about the military budget? Would there be less of a military threat to the United States then say China simply because our political is less than 1/3 of the population of China?
    1
  964.  @dimitrivisser27  China has a land area of 9.3 million square kilometers (3.6 million square miles), which is 2.2% larger than the US land area of 9.1 million square kilometers (3.5 million square miles).Apr 14, 2018 So by your logic we should spend 2.2% less than what China spends. With a population of 1.43 billion people, compared with about 329 million in the United States, China has a population that's more than four times the size of the U.S. population.Dec 23, 2019 If we go by population we should spend 1/4 of what China spends. China's annual military budget is estimated by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute to be about 1.7 trillion yuan. ... Using market exchange rates, China's annual military spending converts to about US$228 billion. By comparison, the US military budget is US$649 billion – or 3.2% of US GDP.Oct 1, 2019 Yet we spend nearly 3x as much as China does. So tell me again why it is 3x as expensive for the USA when your argument shows you think we should spend far less????

  965.  @dimitrivisser27  I don't think the army has been on horse back in over 100 years so try again.

    1
  987.  @justmr9553  you are the one who thinks the USA needs Israel because you think we need the middle east. But everyone knows the only thing that is exported from that desert is oil. So yes when the ff industry ends no one will care about that desert any more than any other desert on earth.
    1
  988.  @nazarakopyantc514  funny that we proved single payer healthcare for Israel while telling Americans that the United States can't afford it. There is definitely a benefital relationship it just goes one way.
    1
  989.  @justmr9553  it doesn't have to be totally stopped to make the middle east more trouble than it is worth. In a few years time the automotive industry will no longer run on ff and will make the demand drop so far we don't need SA.

    1
  994.  @evaldaszmitra7322  those are funny numbers but I will stick with the solar panels I have instead of living near a nuclear waste plant. We keep all the nuclear waste at all power plants in the USA because we can't dispose of it. We have made enough of a headache for future generations with that mess.
    1
  995.  @Leifthrasir  funny because nuclear power has made electricity the most expensive in the USA here. We literally pay higher rates than other states because of the Seabrook nuclear power plant. And that is because we talk about the burden paid by future generations guard our nuclear waste.
    1
  996.  ea  all you need to do is over build which the power companies already do with redundancy and include grid scale storage. V2G technology is one option of many for grid scale storage. But we learned in the 60s that we need storage we have pumped hydro storage because nuclear power can't ramp to meet demand. We have peaker plants because coal boilers can't ramp to meet demand. You act as though supply and demand load balancing is new but it isn't. We already see that batteries are lower cost and better performance than old school gas peaker plants. We know pumped hydro is good for 24 hour energy load balancing thanks to decades of the nuclear industry. This is nothing new. I have off grid solar and batteries it works great I never worry about electric my solar is far more stable then the grid which drops out in wind or even sometimes for hours at at time on a perfectly calm clear night here in the USA.

  999.  @Leifthrasir  if you think nuclear earns back its cost so quickly just think how fast wind and solar which are cheaper to install and operate will pay back. Not to mention cheaper to decommission. When your solution is more expensive at every phase of it's life you shouldn't argue cost
    1
  1000.  @evaldaszmitra7322  doesn't mater why nuclear power is the most expensive form of new energy after over half a century it has remained expensive. The market has spoken we have less expensive alternatives

  1002. But for decades these same economists where telling us don't worry the higher price is a free market signal and new alternatives will be found to meet the market demands with the price increase. Now that we are seeing that market correction of supply and demand all the sudden government must step up to fund the companies that the market has priced out. It is almost like the capitalist class was lying to the rest of society all along and the free market doesn't solve problems it only transfers wealth upwards in society in all situations.

  1009.  @schlafcomandanten  🤣🤣🤣🤣 the last century we depended on only ff so clearly one source isn't really the problem. Besides last time I checked renewable energy came from many sources. Wind, solar hydro, tidal power geothermal just to name a few off the top of my head. If the sun burns out or the tide stops comming in we will have much bigger problems as a species than the power grid being down. But if we continue to burn ff we are forcing the 6th mass extinction event. Ask your nearest dinosaur how it works out living through extinction events. I will wait why you find a T Rex so along as you remain silent while you search.

  1010.  @schlafcomandanten  you should stop using gas if you are worried about cobalt. The oil industry is the worlds largest consumer of cobalt. As to mining being harmful to the environment that must be why you are apposed to those coal mines correct? Or the tar sands and fracking wells? The ff industry has done far more harm to the environment than anything else.
    1
  1011.  @schlafcomandanten  I suppose you don't think it takes time to build more ff infrastructure.
    1
  1012.  @schlafcomandanten  oh good news for you in the last few decades we made the investment in innovation. We already know how to make solar panels I know because I own an off grid solar system. We know how to make storage again I know I have the batteries in my basement. We know how to make an EV Tesla has already made half a million of them and counting. We know how to make offshore and on shore wind turbines. So all that is left is implementing the solution we innovated already over the last few decades. We also know how to heat with geothermal energy the Roman's actually figured that one out long before either of us where born.
    1
  1013.  @schlafcomandanten  so you think ff is bad but you are ok with investing billions of euros into infrastructure for the ff industry which will lock them in place in the energy sector for the next half century. Interesting.
    1
  1014.  @schlafcomandanten  are you purposely trying to miss the point? You would rather i pointed out that BYD has built hundreds of thousands of electric Buses? The point is the same that the EV is proven technology that will over the next 5 to 10 years replace the ff industry in transportation. WV has said as much in Germany. I could care less who builds the next generation of EVs the point is simply that BYD and Tesla have proven it is technically possible and profitable.
    1
  1015.  @schlafcomandanten  oh and as to the live by personal example argument I walk to work everyday as I work at home on a small family farm powered by solar panels. So congrats on giving up your car 12 years ago I hope you are pushing your public transportation sector to use renewable energy to power those busses you ride. The reality is we can't solve a society wide problem through individual actions alone. If we could have the hippies would have put the ff industry out of business half a century ago.
    1
  1016.  @schlafcomandanten  so you think not building a new pipeline is equivalent to turning off all ff today. Wow

  1019.  @schlafcomandanten  so your argument is that Germany didn't build enough energy storage and you believe pipelines with a half century lifespan are temporary. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
    1
  1020.  @schlafcomandanten  well so long as there is a bigger consumer Germany definitely shouldn't take action

  1021.  @schlafcomandanten  is wind and solar better than gas and coal? See two can play that game.

  1022. The future of nuclear power is to use the one nuclear power supply located a safe 8 light minutes away. Anything built closes is too expensive and too dangerous

  1024.  David  wind turbines work in the north sea. It is the lack of winterizing that is the problem and why the ff industry power plants in Texas when down frozen solid. Also only 12% of the grid in Texas is wind and only half of that went down. So by your logic only 6% of the entire grid in Texas went down. Clearly you are wrong

  1034.  @d2nd21st  wow do you struggle with English. Owning an off grid solar system isn't an idea it is a lived reality.
    1
  1035.  @d2nd21st  owning something definitely impacts your understanding of the cost. My monthly bills dropped in half paying the home equity loan instead of the power company and that was 2 years ago before the last two years of increased energy costs. So you seem to be the one struggling to understand the conversation.
    1
  1036.  @d2nd21st  we use old technology because we own it not because it is more efficient to use a ICE that is about 30% efficient compared to an electric motor that is 98% efficient.

He had to pass it and the Democratic leadership knew Mitch was between a rock and a hard sport thanks to Trump. But being paid to lose they did what their donors wanted and screwed the citizens. A few days delay on the military budget wouldn't have ended the grift of the military industrial complex or the deaths for oil but it would have made a real difference to the American working class 1 in 3 of which are looking at eviction.

  1056.  Konsta T Pashion  how does building the lowest cost new energy which is rapidly becoming less expensive than using ff going to drive up the costs? Wind and solar are less expensive because there are no profits for nature like there is for the ff industry. All the profits for ExxonMobil and the coal mining companies are reduced cost when the wind and sun doesn't bill you for raw materials. I know I have an off grid solar system because it cut my energy bill in half compared to my for profit power company.
    1
  1057.  Konsta T Pashion  which is why I was able to name government funded solutions and you where able to make vague peopaganda statements about how great the profit based system is. Got it.
    1
  1058.  Konsta T Pashion  we have these things called batteries to stabilize wind and solar they work great in my off grid system my power is more stable than when I was on the grid. But Texas has recently showed us that ff based power grids are not stable in mildly cold or hot conditions under deregulated caplistist management. You know those for profit caplistist companies that turned up people's AC temperature to 85F to keep their profits maximized during the heat wave instead of building more reliable infrastructure
    1
  1059.  Konsta T Pashion  how can people not afford to save money? It isn't too hard banks are more than happy to loan home owners against their assets and in my case it lowered the bill in half so I couldn't afford not to do it. Because I was literally paying the power company more that the bank loan.
    1
  1060.  Konsta T Pashion  wow you are full of bogus facts. Did Rex Tillerson tell you that there where not enough minerals on planet earth to make grid scale batteries? Because only a person with a vested interest in the ff industry or someone totally ignorant of what elements on planet earth can be used to store electricity would make such a wrong statement.
    1
  1061.  Konsta T Pashion  you seem to have a hard time understanding that being off grid and paying back the bank has cut my monthly bill in half. So no it isn't expensive today to be off grid it is the financially responsible thing to do unless you like paying more for your electricity.
    1
  1062.  Konsta T Pashion  to give you some perspective on the batteries. An EV has 10x the battery capacity of my home storage system. The automotive industry those caplistist you admire are rapidly switching to batteries 10x the demand you don't believe we have enough raw materials to make. Clearly they disagree with your assessment of raw materials

  1072.  @thatsnotagoodidea  where did you get your 10 years to ramp up manufacturing of solar panels? I have spent many hours talking with the engineers installing those manufacturing lines in Tiawan and can assure you that your estimate is off by an order of magnitude. Not to mention that we literally have more solar panels manufacturing capacity today than we have sales volume the factories are not running 24/7 today some might be but definitely not all.

Because in capitalism you set the price of goods and services at what the market will pay. The price of a produce has nothing to do with the cost of production only on how much you believe the public will pay for the product. If the cost of production goes up caplistist are forced to accept less profit or stop making the product and lose all profit because they already set the maximum price their customers will pay. Either you fail to understand the basics of capitalism or you are making a bad faith argument to protect the owner class.

  1119.  @MikeLiteraus  the case you speak of was thrown out because the constitution of the United States clearly states that each state has the right to control their own electoral process. You know the document the right claims to love granting state rights that the right claims to love as well. The reality is the AG in Texas only took the case to the supreme court because he is a criminal under FBI investigation looking for a pardon from Trump. That is the swamp at it's best. If you where so worried about every American getting to vote you would call for Texas to redo their election as they eliminated voter polling stations in certain neighborhoods and had people waiting for hours in long lines. They removed the ballot boxes. It is the GOP who doesn't want everyone to vote. I personally think we should have rank choice voting and multiple parties. But we have the system that we have and it was followed as defined by our constitution. If the members of Congress don't like the current constitutional election process they can pass an amendment. They can not simply toss out the results of the election to keep their own party in power.

  1124.  @Flamdring  I agree but at this point I think all you need to do is end the subdies for ff. Wind and solar are already the cheapest new energy generation. I can see using government funding for building infrastructure like charging stations and HVDC power grids though. I always think about what an impressive depression era project the Hover dam was. That had real return on investment both by employing people and by providing a century of power.

  1138.  Carl Olov Andreasson  7 years is zero effort made simply allowing the old appliances to age out. It could be done in under a single year if we put the effort we put into building war equipment during WWII. That is the point. By the way it will take time to replace the Russian oil regardless of how you do it. Just as it took years for Germany to build Nord stream 2 the latest stranded asset of the ff era.

I cut wood to heat my home from the same woods my family has since the house was built in 1901. We always harvest wood that is dead. Burning it actually releases CO2 instead of leaving it to rot and release the much worse methane into the environment. So by heating my home with wood I actually lower the greenhouse emissions from my forest.

  1167.  @santkumar5973  except that in this case the manufacturer was rewarded up front with government funding. The covid vaccine was government funded. We the citizens paid for the innovation not the stock holders. So the companies shouldn't have the intellectual property in the first place the government should it bought it up front. Which is also true with most medical advances. The reality is most medical research is funded with government grant money. That means money the government gave the company and didn't get paid back. Any research funded by government grants should be government intellectual property not the corporation which took money from the government to do the development work. In that case the company was paid same as anyone who worked of the company. You don't see the engineers and doctors who developed the process getting a percentage of every pill made to protect their intellectual property rights. We don't apply that standard to labor because we accept that labor was paid for their work upfront included in that price was the value going forward. It is no different when companies take money from the government to do a job. Same as when the employee take money from the company to do a job. In both cases the paying party should own the intellectual property. Not the paid party which in the case of covid is the company who was paid by the government.

  1168. 2 decades of profits for the military industrial complex and the ff industry. Plus the global climate crisis what is what we achieved with the 2 decades of oil wars.

Our government has allowed companies to focus on the personal wealth of the caplistist class instead of the the worker class. Don't believe it look at the changes in the tax code from the 40s today you will see how the central planners your term have changed our society from one where the caplistist owner class made 20 times the earning of their employees to one where they make thousands of times what they pay their employees.

  1244.  @peterfireflylund  the entire history of nuclear power shows that it will never be cheap. Solar wind and storage have shown just the opposite in recent years. The path forward is clear for those paying attention.
    1
  1245.  @petervojcek7043  so your argument is that they haven't installed enough renewable energy already? I think that was the entire point to my comment that it is time to kick the install program in high gear. Wind solar and storage is the fastest and cheapest way to do that today
    1
  1246.  @jerrythompson5967  we are already flying electric planes. But I would use rail and sea much less energy demanding
    1
  1247.  @peterfireflylund  it isn't regulations in the energy maket that made installing solar panels and batteries at my house less expensive than being on the power grid. That is just free market comparison and who gets to keep the profit margin.
    1
  1248.  @jerrythompson5967  what question I only skimmed your bad faith argument that you didn't think we could end using ff tonight so you think it is impossible to ever end it

  1249.  @jerrythompson5967  lol you sound like someone who would defend Steam powered trains a century ago

  1250.  @peterfireflylund  the ff industry gets 5 trillion dollars a year in subsidies you want to talk about a perverted market?

    1
  1255. Not when you consider the damage all that ff will do to the environment. Or the damage done along other pipelines by leaks. Continuing is called throwing good money after bad. The best thing to do is take the lose today and start building renewable energy infrastructure. Your first lose is always the smallest
    1
  1256.  @dairebulson7122  that is a poor reason to pollute new routes with half a century worth of ff leaks and dependency on ff infrastructure. The world shouldn't spend any more money on stranded assets of the near future for the ff industry
    1
  1257.  @MrZozue  how do you get from 100% baseload renewable power to the stone age?? What a poor strawman argument
    1
  1258.  @MrZozue  oh for the record I did pay for my 100% off grid solar system it works great and hasn't forced my home back into the stone age as you fear. It has instead made me self sufficient and removed my dependency on the power grid that isn't stable where I live. Now i watch my neighbors loose power and offer them warmth when the grid fails.

  1259. divide and conquer. Doesn't take 5 minutes to figure that out.

  1260. You can't build nuclear power plants as fast or as cheap as you can build new energy generation with renewable energy plus storage. The fact is renewable energy is the cheapest fastest form of new energy generation

  1261.  @cloudpoint0  yet you are apposed to setting them all aside. Funny that.
    1
  1262.  @FranFerioli  wow so glad you know more about early stage technology than the companies developing it. Not to mention how you have no clue how many technologies for batteries exist. Someone 100 years ago was saying that oil isn't everywhere it might work in texas but their is no way it will work everywhere we will alway ride horses we can feed out here where their is no oil. That was ment to the orginal poster YouTube put it in the wrong place
    1
  1263.  @PistonAvatarGuy  you should visit Canada they provide an insane amount of hydro electricity to the USA. You know that country you said is gluten for energy. But you are intentionally missing the point that renewable energy isn't a one solution fits all world like the ff industry.
    1
  1264.  @FranFerioli  sorry that post went to the wrong poster. YouTube does that sometimes
    1
  1265.  @PistonAvatarGuy  🤣🤣🤣 wow you total missed that we share a power grid with Canada and point to the fact that the ff industry has caused drought as a reason we should keep using ff. Amazing.
    1
  1266.  @PistonAvatarGuy  so if you are anti renewable energy and you are not arguing for the continued usage of ff how do you propose we power society?
    1
  1267.  @PistonAvatarGuy  you do know nuclear power is the most expensive form of new energy generation correct? Why would you say follow France and build the most expensive form of new energy today???

  1269.  @matt1sullivan318  wow so 500 million doses which is 250 million people out of what 8.5 billion people on planet earth. You seem to have failed math if you think that is the USA paying to vaccinate the entire world.
    1
  1270.  @matt1sullivan318  I am saying we need to set aside the profit motive and let these other countries have the technology they need to make their own vaccine. Or as the bible saids teach a man to fish.
    1
  1271.  @matt1sullivan318  I am sure there was absolutely no way the USA could have changed the minds of any of those countries. I mean we only elected a president who claimed he knew how to negotiate and whose wife claims foreign policy is his strongest area. So sure there was nothing we the USA could do. 🤣🤣🤣
    1
  1272.  @beautrice1202  wow you are brainwashed by American exceptionalism. The vast majority of our vaccine was produced in India not the USA. They could produce much more if the law allowed them to. Your argument might have been true in 1921 but not in 2021 a century of outsourcing has ment we did teach the others how to make modern things

  1273.  @matt1sullivan318  wow the only first reaction you have is to declare war??? I guess the concept of soft power is lost.

    1
  1275.  @matt1sullivan318  no asking political didn't work that isn't soft power that is throwing your hands up in the air. Also how many of these companies have the patterns in the USA? Because under the war powers act Biden can use any us patten. How many of these drug companies are currently receiving Grant's from the government? How many of these drug companies took pandemic loans from the government already? I see all kinds of ways that Biden could pressure the drug companies. That is before getting to things like simply announcing that he is signing an executive order to allow Medicare to negotiate drug companies. Late the courts fight that one out. Or simply use his emergency powers to extend Medicare for All for the remainder of the pandemic. Those are all ways off the top of my head to cost the drug companies money once you hit their ballance sheets hard enough they will listen. You could simply announce that the IRS and Congress are looking into stock options as being taxed as normal income. Or taxing the total compensation package of anyone making more than x dollar per year. You really lack creativity in how to make the wealthy CEO want to go along with the government.

    1
  1283.  @graveperil2169  which is why you should install solar on your roof. I have an off grid solar system and the biggest reason I did it was because the power company here can't keep the lights on when the wind blows let alone when we have an ice storm.

  1292. Gas as a bridge fuel. Obama tries that in the USA. Biden found himself at the end of the bridge Obama build begging Saudi Arabia to pump more oil. The solution is renewable energy plus storage. Wind solar and storage is the cheapest solution today. Nuclear power is the most expensive form of new energy a half century on.

  1304.  @dge5348  in 50 to 100 years there will be no Europeans or humans left if we don't stop using ff now. The 6th mass extinction event has already started. If you don't understand what that means ask the first dinosaur you see to explain it to you.
    1
  1305.  @KoushiroIzumi85  I don't see a solution to avoid the 6th mass extinction event in your reply so I guess you are ok with joining the dinosaurs because it is too hard to avoid in your mind
    1
  1306.  @KoushiroIzumi85  less developed countries are not the problem the vast majority of ff energy is burned by the top 10% of all wealth wise on earth
    1
  1307. 3 decades of military occupation of Afghanistan should be enough to prove to anyone that there will always be another bombing and another peace conference. The Russian learned in just under a decade that it wasn't a place that will be brought to a peaceful society under a foreign military. It is time for the US and NATO to realize this is just a way for us to waste money and lives. You can't force peace at the end of a gun.
    1
  1308.  Internet Research Agency  wow you are so wrong. First off the carbon from ff wasn't in the biosphere. With my wood lot, the dead wood I harvest doesn't rot producing methane. So I convert natrual methane into CO2 reducing the greenhouse effect by 80%. Second the ff industry is pumping 100% of it's carbon out of resources that where taken out of the biosphere before the human species evolved. So when I burn wood off a sustainable wood lot the trees on my wood lot sequester the carbon back in the form of more wood producing oxygen in the process. When you burn ff the oil well doesn't sequester the carbon and pump it back into the ground so no sorry burning ff is 100% worse because 100% of the emmisions from ff is added to the environment from source that where literally sequestered before humans evolved. You are obviously a bad faith actor. You clearly fall into the category of it is impossible to convince someone of something that their livelihood depends on them not understanding so have a nice day. Hope you enjoy your role in the 6th mass extinction event. Ask the first dinosaur you find what that means because I and done educating you.

  1309.  @olivermj69  read the guardian article about the carbon footprint of these flight it is insanely high

  1310.  @Astronist  you watched too much sifi and I like sifi. It is far more important that we keep the one planet that supports human life supporting it than we try to turn a lifeless rock with no biosphere into a place for humans to live. We don't need to worry about leaving earth for longer into the future than our species has walked the earth into the past. The sun will still support life on earth if we avoided the human caused 6th mass extinction event we are currently living in. The solution to that isn't a coloney in space it is saving the only environment that supports human life.

  1311.  @zapfanzapfan  where did the hydrogen come from and how much energy was used to put it in the tank. The blue hydrogen myth is a great way to increase CO2 emmisions from the ff industry.

  1317. So taxes are the only cost to a business? Guess your company is 100% run by robots off the power grid and has no environmental impact that could be regulated. The argument that controlling any one cost will end outsourcing is crazy the greed will demand that caplistist move to the lowest cost of doing business regardless of what cost it is lowered it is still profit. This is a distraction from the failure of capitalism.

    1
  1320. If you don't end up on a ventilator or oxygen than the vaccine worked. They clearly told everyone it won't prevent 100% of cases but it will prevent the the worse effects of getting covid. Meaning you will probably not die or end up in the ICU. Not to mention no vaccine is 100% effective.

  1329. Expecally as the outsourced the manufacturing of the vaccine to those other countries. India is the world's largest manufacturer of the vaccine. The cooperations just demanded that it be exported to countries with more wealth. Canada literally doesn't have a single factory to make the vaccine but they have a higher vaccination rate and easier access than india.

  1334. @Question Everything please show how I am wrong show what I omitted.

  1339.  @Milo_1368  why push the most expensive form of new energy which becomes a weapon during war time. There are better options with wind solar and storage that are all cheaper and faster to bring on line
    1
  1340.  @jasonsimms8251  the French subsidies the nuclear industry and the USA subsidies the ff industry. Wind and solar don't need to be backed up by ff they just need enough storage and to be properly sized. I know this because I am living off grid solar. I installed the system and left the power grid because the grid cost more then the home equity loan to buy the solar system and be energy independent. The only ones who win with nuclear are the caplistist class who want to keep you as a customer using energy to transfer wealth upward and income inequality in our society
    1
  1341.  @jasonsimms8251  you have to work in the ff industry. Because Katie Porter crushed the ff CEO when he tried to say they didn't get special subsidies and tax cuts. He looked scared when she offered to introduce legislation to make his words reality
    1
  1342.  @jasonsimms8251  as to the subsidies for the solar industry that is a good one compared a new technology to an industry over a century old. Tell me when does the ff industry mature enough to be self supporting and not need government assistance?

And because so long as the product of the vaccine is limited we will never end the global pandemic. 57 years to vacillate the global population will be great for the drug companies but it will cause a global depression for everyone else. Also the governments paid in advance for the vaccine research and development so why should the company they hired get the profits the employees hired by the company didn't get to keep the profits.

  1358.  @zbynekII  insulation is the cheapest way to address energy costs. Solar and wind are the cheapest forms of new energy generation with zero operating cost for rooftop solar after the install. My system paid for itself in 9 years and is rated for 12 years on the batteries and 25 years at 80% of the rated output for the rest of the system. So these things save money.

  1366.  @anubizz3  funny question it implies that people who live in apartments can't buy electricity from off shore wind farms or solar farms.
    1
  1367.  @anubizz3  no everyone needs to work together to get 100% renewable energy and grid scale storage. I don't live in the UK I live in the USA and left the power grid not because I am wealthy I am a peasant farmer who saves money being off the grid because the power grid was twice the cost of owning my own solar system. My system pays for itself in 9 years and has a 25 year warranty. That said I am more than willing to stand beside anyone who is still on the grid as they fight to get the power company to install the least expensive form of new energy generation being wind and solar. At the moment everyone owning an ICE is 100% held hostage by the ff industry. The way to find freedom from that is an EV because their are many way to produce electricity. So no it doesn't make people hostage to the grid they are already hostage to the barrons of the ff industry. EV gives you an option the power grid can be powered by different resources and is far more stable than the ff industry. Or you can leave the grid and make your own electricity you can't make your own gas.

  1370.  @flyinghigh2000  they need to add liquid air storage to their wind farms that will allow for storring the energy on site and pumping it out when the wind is low on the same grid. The biggest thing we can do without any grid upgrades is match demand to supply which EV with V2G technology and grid scale storage would both help do. There is a video about the pilot plant for liquid air storage on the just have a think YouTube channel. I mention it because it uses all proven technologies and is very easy to scale up.

  1373.  @Gunslinger65  the "cold war" wasn't a war it was a sales campaign for the military industrial complex. But it was highly successful the USA lacks things which would help the citizens like single payer healthcare thanks to the cold war.

  1374. princess what is your point that the USA funds Ireal so they can provide single payer healthcare so long as we cover their military budget? Because it seems a very weird random example I mean ever other developed country has single payer you could have just as easly said move to Canada.

  1380.  @FPfreddyyy  it is advocating for the most expensive form of new energy that continues the transfer of wealth to the caplistist class. I know this because I live with off grid solar and saved money over the power grid. I like keeping my money not giving it to the caplistist who profiteer off energy
