Ron Wagner + 643 March 28, 2023 That is good but we need to be allowing mining for all the minerals we need to continue building renewables and transmission lines at affordable rates. We also need to see China, India and the rest of the Third World match our efforts without asking us to pay for it. Coal use is still growing worldwide, or close to it. Natural gas and oil development must continue to support transportation and many other needs. Presently, the Biden administration is creating scarcity of many minerals through poor policies.

The bloc and its largest economy had been at odds over the planned 2035 phase-out of CO2-emitting cars, but leaders signalled in recent days that they were close to a resolution. Germany had wanted assurances that new combustion engine cars can be sold beyond the deadline if they run on e-fuels - a request supported by parts of Germany's powerful car industry. "We have found an agreement with Germany on the future use of e-fuels in cars," Frans Timmermans, head of EU climate policy, said on Twitter. German Transport Minister Volker Wissing said "the way is clear" with the agreement reached late Friday. "Vehicles with internal combustion engines can still be newly registered after 2035 if they fill up exclusively with CO2-neutral fuels," he said in a post on Twitter. Sweden, which holds the EU's rotating presidency, said EU diplomats would vote on Monday to formally approve the 2035 phaseout law. That would mean energy ministers could then give the law the final sign-off needed for it to enter into force on Tuesday, at a scheduled meeting in Brussels. Benjamin Stephan of the Greenpeace campaign group said the deal was a setback for climate protection. "This stinky compromise undermines climate protection in transport, and it harms Europe," he said. It dilutes the needed focus of the auto industry on efficient electromobility, he said. (Reporting by Tom Sims and Kate Abnett; editing by Jason Neely and Mike Harrison) Solar car of light year one, Germany, is into production. They might have reason to do so.... This solar car can go with wind fan in preparation when there is no sun or low intensity than the panel can process. 'o' '-' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is Hawaii the most expensive because of the Kilauea eruption in 2018? Looking at electricity generation pre the eruption geothermal supplied 31%, following only 17.6%, so I presume the plant's infrastructure was compromised?? Its a shame with all the geothermal on offer it isnt more widely exploited. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"State policies really do have an impact, even if it takes time to see." --------- Roth agreed that many policies, including ones aimed at aiding young children -- such as nutrition programs and Head Start -- are vital.

In most of those states, the researchers found, racial disparities narrowed between 1990 and 2019, with the biggest decreases seen in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Oregon.

Due to acidification of ponds, lakes, and other effects experienced in the eastern USA from "acidic rain", the EPA placed Oxides of Sulfur under regulation. An interesting economic impact that effected my State was the sudden "added value" to low sulfur PRB Coal, making it much more marketable to coal fired plants to reduce expenses with controlling sulfur emissions. Before that legislation, PRB Coals were almost worthless to them, as the heating value of PRB coal (BTU/lb) was only about 2/3rds of Eastern coals, required very careful handling to minimize dust, and had significantly different ash fusion temperature. The railroads also made money hand over fist! I hope you are familiar with that idiom. If not, google it. Coal is still king. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bloodman33 + 20 TJ March 30, 2023 South is getting obliterated by storms created by oil industry climate change. It is only going to get worse. I'm excited, and rich from my oil stocks. Can't wait to donate to AOCs race. Democrats fight commi Russian loving oil industry defenders. They got my vote. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add up the wind, solar and hydro, and they are easily in second place. EASILY! Edited March 30, 2023 by turbguy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron Wagner + 643 March 30, 2023 13 hours ago, Rob Plant said: Ron I genuinely hope you live until 90 or more, however most people dont expect to get sick and most think they will live to 90, but dont as the stats bear out! Everyone dies and everyone knows they will, but weirdly nobody expects to. Of course, anyone can die at any time but the older you are the better your odds depending on your present health. All of my organs and blood tests are in excellent shape. I am a retired Psych RN and my wife is an RN Nurse practitioner. We take care of ourselves pretty well. On the other hand, many people avoid medical care and taking care of their health. They bring the averages way down. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
