All Solar, Et Al, In 12 Years?

[Randolph Kinney]

Strategically, if the U.S. ever goes to war in a major way, since it does not make enough steel, aluminium, semiconductors, etc in the U.S., we will lose that war, easily.

Wasn't the intertwining's of economies done to prevent war? You wage war and we bankrupt you?

 

[Randolph Kinney]

I wouldn't call it GOOD reasons.

Yes, it is good to be green! But expensive.

It is the other way round. We are bankrupt now. We borrow the money to pay the interest on the debt which was a result from the trade deficit along with the spending deficit.

The reports come out today.
The import/export bank charter needs to be extended for it to continue to exist.
Last I checked, we had a trade deficit of like 76 million/billion, or some such ridiculously high number, the population couldn't possibly make it up, even if we all hit the lottery. But Congress will argue that it favors only the largest corporations and approve it's charter again anyway.
We reportedly lost like 270k jobs, but created 178k jobs, so unemployment is back at 5.5%, which is what they claim every time the jobs report comes out, and then revise later. The Fed is still hinting at rate increased, for two years now, and well, maybe not in September, but mostly likely in December, but don't hold your breath. There is so much lying and manipulation that it's hard to find out what the real picture is, but it aint good, aint good at all.

In the mean time, maybe someone will hire coal miners to watch windmills spin round and round as a clean job, they can count the dead raptors.

Bet that's a good pay replacement job.

What is needed is more government jobs. They pay well and they are green. They lose money (deficit spending not made up from tax revenue) and can't be outsourced to China like steel, aluminium, semiconductors, solar panels, rare earth metals, etc. Or we pay people not work, same thing.

I was reading that California government and utility companies were doing a bang up job of getting rid of indigenous workers in favor of H1B visa workers, and H1B visa spouses.

Thank the middle east for making many government workers necessary. Once we get them on board with the IMF, they'll stop their war mongering, then we could half the government employees here, and watch the country dissolve into subsidized hades.

Obama has made a much more realistic proposal to increase renewables to 28% of energy by 2030...

California has a law that mandates 33% renewable energy by 2020 plus cap and trade.

And now California will have:


SB 350 — battle rages over proposed 50-percent fuel cuts in California

Take notice if you drive to and from work each day in California. SB 350, known as the California Gas Restriction Act of 2015, (de León) requires a 50% reduction in petroleum, 50% increase in renewables for electricity generation, and a 50% increase in the energy efficiency of buildings by 2030. SB 350 will also grant the Air Resources Board significant authority to adopt regulations that will result in a 50% reduction in petroleum use in cars and trucks by 2030.

In short, unelected regulators will be able to limit how far you can drive, ration gas, increase costs, and penalize drivers for using too much gas.

that's just incentive for appraisers to ride mopeds.
