You're right about US. seems half uses tracking. No numbers on China which is 30x larger market. Economics still only make sense at consumer level of $1/watt panel prices, to me, but I guess there are reasons I don't understand.

OP is the one that made comparison. Terrorism gets more attention if victim is oligarch.

The cells are super expensive but super small. They need cooling for efficiency, but if the heat moving is useful, can ignore the energy cost.

Is it a road speed limit? or a limit on bike power? If the former, it's not so much an attack on micromobility. Can take the road to pass or go faster. The cars can physically do 120mph, but have NYC speed limits.

Solution is obvious. Just spend 5% of GDP on US weapons, and give US tech tax free access to skynet spying on its citizens. Promise war on Russia to increase the dependency. 30% tariffs is actually the reward for this subservience.

at 2% leakage rates, NG is as impactful in GHGs as coal when scrubbed at moderate efficiency for SO2. Most (by small margin) coal generators use scrubbers.

US "upstream" (wells + pipelines) infrastructure leaks more than 1%, and combustion/valves/compressors, and just satellite measurements of upstream infrastructure measures at least 2% accross US.

LNG exports to Europe (less than Asia due to shorter distance) adds 40%+ to emissions just from liquefaction process, with more energy/leakage from defrosting and local pipelines, relative to domestic coal alternatives. Specialized ship building and LNG plant construction also means more emmissions in related infrastructure.

NG does make far less local air pollution, mostly because SO2 scrubbers suck, but NG is not green energy, and its emissions are not properly accounted for.

Assets, and net (after deducting debt) assets, are positive. Banks are big debt holders.

Instead, there seems to be a promise to not tax or fine them, in addition to giving them encryption backdoors on its citizens, and beg to buy overpriced Nvidia chips to give it all to Big US tech owned skynet. Reward is 30% tariffs to US sales on everything.

Doug Ford is a US agent, gaslighting us into US subservience and destruction of Canadian auto sector. "Fortress Can Am" is treason, and has no "Am" partner/supporter.

Future is EVs. Ontario/Canada can either decide to support more USMCA compliant auto manufacturing or threaten nationalization of US subsidiaries that don't invest more, or cut investment.

Development of rare earths, lithium, other metals in Canada is possible through Chinese investment. Investment in processing plants where Canadian companies naturally get all of the supply they can sell more affordably than through US reliance. Modern auto plants use giga presses for outer body. Motor and battery manufacturing also highly automated. Chinese investment should include manufacturing of automation in Canada for Canadian and international markets.

Article talks about affordable EVs. These can be made in NA and Canada especially through Chinese technology and our cheap access to materials. Just the motors and batteries. GM equinox is a good value car. Could be made at same price in Canada as in MX, with cheaper access to materials/components.

When Do-FF(Fossil Fuel or Fat Fuck)-Fo supports increasing dependence on Alberta and FFs, he supports energy insecurity. Solar and EVs, reduce our refining demand. Another area to cooperate with Chinese investment.

They ended up with Javascript trademark (afaik, because the name was too close to Java) too. Sued node.js over something related.

Can we sue Oracle back for any of this?

"12.1" is interpreted as the date December 1st, and as before for dates with no year the default is 2001 because of course.

it gets better and more coherent the deeper you go :P

China has asked/threatened Egypt to close suez canal to military ships. It has radar ships in Persian Gulf. Asked Oman to not cooperate on airspace. Flurry of diplomatic calls today including Russia readout of more committed support for Iran.

Israel is threatening Pakistan next.

Trump's single focus on Ukrainian negotiations was always Russia distancing with Iran, and a quicker victory/peace is an easy bribe for Russia to accept.

But, OP, suggests deeper Iranian miscalculation for an independent path.

Diego Garcia can be destroyed by 3 countries within range: Iran, Pakistan, China. A nuclear strike would just kill military and signal a "not fucking around" posture.

Fucking around and waiting is world's Chamberlain moment.

Whether US assists Israel's defense or attacks is a function of threats made against it.

The trade war BS gives US the power to stop that BS in exchange for G7 slave colonies supporting its zionazi warmongering genocide.

The US can bribe Russia with less Ukraine support. Can declare victory over China's fentanyl measures.

Apparently, US carrier fleet is coming towards Persian Gulf for clearly unfriendly reasons. Whether anyone explicitly/directly helps Iran eliminate it or Tel Aviv, or threatens to, determines course of war.

US retains bribery/extortion power to make world sacrifice Iran, I expect.

Closing straights of Hormuz is less precise than controlling access to that and Red sea. Exchanging military support for both access to its energy, and others.

Helping Iraq liberate itself from US is key to it replacing its US controlled treasury with new oil revenue. Europe would choose between US and Russian supplies, and so this would be yet another US extortion war vector on Europe.

KSA would still be able to get through Suez, but others wouldn't.
