If you don't think there is a Musk-Trump relationship you are just not looking because you don't want it to be true. wonder what Elon is going to do when China sets up EV factories in the US.........Trump invited the Chinesse to do it...... who will buy a Tesla when you can get an EV made in the USA in a Chinese owned factories for 30 or 40 percent less????????? and Tesla solar panels ........does anyone buy them??????????????? Chinese companies will have at least 20 GW worth of annual solar panel production capacity on U.S. soil within the next year, enough to serve about half the U.S. market, according to a Reuters analysis.

The Des Moines Register Iowa Poll: Kamala Harris leapfrogs Donald Trump to take lead near Election Day. Here's how 1 day ago Now you tell me if this supports your post??????? do you think they will take down all of those wind farms in Iowa "cancer causing.......oh my who babbled that wind farms cause cancer??????" ...Or do you think the fine people of Iowa support the Green Agenda enjoy the reality Iowa is a leader in wind energy, generating more electricity from wind than any other state: Low utility costs: Wind energy is the cheapest new source of electricity generation, which keeps utility costs low and stable. Production: In 2023, wind power accounted for 59% of Iowa's electricity generation. Location: Most wind farms are in the northern and western parts of the state, where the winds are strongest. Job creation: The wind energy sector in Iowa supports over 3,953 jobs. Landowner revenue: Landowners who host turbines receive millions of dollars in revenue. County tax revenue: Counties receive millions of dollars in property tax revenue from wind energy. Iowa's wind energy success is due to a combination of factors, including: Forward-thinking policy: Iowa was a leader in wind energy before it became popular. Business-friendly approach: Iowa's business-friendly approach has contributed to its success. Collective effort: Iowa's wind energy success is the result of a collective effort. Iowa's wind energy success has also attracted companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, which have chosen Iowa for their energy-intensive facilities. Iowa is also developing its solar power industry. The state's largest solar farm, Holiday Creek Solar Farm, came online in 2022. Two additional 150-megawatt solar farms are scheduled to begin operating by the end of 2024. Edited November 4 by notsonice Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You Lithium lovers need take it to calm your brains down. There is very little "Green" that isn't as or more harmful to the Planet. Fair enough, while I support environmentalism I am not a supporter of the "Green New Deal" specifically. I fully understand that doing things with respect to the environment is more expensive than pure exploitation and polluting the earth. Nice things cost money. The fossil industry can clean up their act and even that is okay with me. I have advocated for switching coal to natural gas which is still a fossil fuel because it is less toxic.

Old-Ruffneck + 1,246 er November 5 You didn't like my answer about the Deep Water Horizon incident. I explained it carefully that while tragic, the oil was injected with enzymes so that the bacteria would eat it up. Which a year later, no traces of oil. Your response was what about the dead workers. What about them?? As an old roughneck, you know everyday you go to the rig could be your last. While I do feel bad for the families and the men, it still doesn't render my interpretation of the event.
