Seattle should pass a law that requires Houston residents pay property tax to Seattle and then seize homes with unpaid taxes and sell them to recoop any unpaid taxes.

Why not?

"Salt as a coolant is just superior to water, once you've got the engineering details hammered out," Smith told BI.

You're missing the "engineering details" I guess

Anyone know if youtube content creators are unionized? They're a group of people who could benefit from solidarity.

You'd think this would give us some wiggle money to play with to build out new energy infrastructure. You're wrong though, there is no wiggle. We need all renewables like Germany.

Although the transition to EVs will require an enormous increase in base production capacity, it would be wasteful to build out nuclear to meet it.

$16m an hour might seem like a lot of damage, but nuclear can only exacerbate economic loss which is equally important as climatic loss.

Renewables now!

i have three costs on my bill:

  • tax

rooftop solar should only reduce the first line

But critics insist the costs of those solar panels are beginning to outweigh the benefits.

Incentive payments to homes with solar, they say, have led to higher electricity rates for everyone else — including families that can’t afford rooftop panels. If so, that’s not only unfair, it’s damaging to the state’s climate progress. Higher electricity rates make it less likely that people will drive electric cars and install electric heat pumps in their homes — crucial climate solutions.

The solar industry disputes the argument that solar incentive payments are driving up rates, as do many environmental activists. But Newsom’s appointees to the Public Utilities Commission are convinced, as they made clear Thursday.

“We need to reach our [climate] goals as fast as we can,” said Alice Reynolds, the commission’s president. “But we also need to be extremely thoughtful about how we reach our climate change goals in the most cost-effective manner.”

When I am having a stroke, I don't stop and calculate of the most cost effective treatment options. I go to the emergency room. We could have done this calculation in 1970 and acted, but that ship has sailed.

This happened to a few offshore projects in America's New England region as well. Maybe offshore wind isn't as "cheap" as I thought it was.

It means they believe clean coal is here to stay and will be profitable for awhile. I think they're right.

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.

Burkina Faso last year experienced two military coups — both triggered in part by discontent at failures to stem a raging jihadist insurgency. More than 17,000 people have died in attacks since 2015, more than 6,000 just since the start of this year, according to a count by an NGO monitor called the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED).

Maybe Russia knows something I don't?

Among the top investors, the government in Kuala Lumpur attracted over $10bn from China-based Risen Energy, which introduced plans to build a photovoltaic cell plant in Kulim Hi-Tech Park in Kedah, in the northwest of the country.

These plants will power the move away from new fossil fuel development

This article is one sided. Doesn't discuss any of the economic benefits of these actions. Only communist things like megadeaths and habitat destruction.
