I cannot stress enough that Canada is a sovereign country and not under the jurisdiction of the EPA.

It’s incredible Republicans seem to develop morals once they lose their primaries or are out of office.

I only submitted it once but noticed it took an exceptionally long time. Apologies.

It’s not either/or but all of the above if we want to minimize death.


Probably close to $1,500.


I bought alpha for $4.99. Same account 16 years later is being used by my kids. I’m easily at 1/5 of a cent per hour for the game.


Excuse me?


My fear is that it’s 3x the ccs in the injection. I’d rather have three shots in three different sites than one with a gargantuan amount of fluid.


Why is “buy eventually” not an option? I’m not arranging my life around the PC launch, but I don’t need a sale either.

France already has one of the lowest carbon electricity sectors in the world thanks to its nuclear fleet. The costs would be so prohibitive that metered power will jump in price causing real poverty and killing those unable to afford to run air conditioning.
Money is not infinite and free.


Yes, the dormant Commerce Clause specifically. One state cannot unduly burden interstate commerce nor use their size to force national standards since manufacturers cannot feasibly have a California packaging, then another for 49 other states.
Sadly, there is a real chance that the suing states prevail.


This is a little misleading. There are plenty of opportunities before the 2050 US drop-off to initiate new projects or overhaul and extend existing plants. SMRs are in their commercial infancy. They need time and successful initial projects. With so many under development, the odds are quite good with the largest risk being solar + battery undercuts which is also a win.


Markets dislike the uncertainty of searching for the right geothermal conditions. Battery storage is just cheaper and certain. You also can’t gloss over the hydrogen sulfide pollution. Geothermal is not truly clean.
Maui and Kauai have small populations and are easy for wind +solar + storage. The Big Island has geothermal, but it is only going to supply 15% of the energy mix because of the pollution. They have the room for renewables for 200k people. Oahu is the challenge. It’s populous, dense, and needs approximately 1.8 GW. This is why biofuels are the current strategy.

Time for one of the wealthiest collections of humans on Earth to stop walking and start running towards climate solutions. Decarbonization alone is not enough.

There is nothing wrong with the article.
Please consider judging things on their own merit.


There isn’t a conspiracy. It’s simply that most of the older islands have cooled and the studies necessary to find the right conditions are incredibly expensive. The Big Island is where the opportunity is, and they are expanding the existing plant as part of the carbon-free 2045 plan. The state is also funding exploration on Maui.

I love the idea of geothermal, but the reality is difficult. You need to drill to find the right conditions. There’s also the H2S emissions. Solar and wind resources are much easier to confirm and build.


It is not an error. The Trump administration opposes renewable energy and heavily favors fossil fuels.
He simply speaks out more against wind as he holds bizarre views unsupported by science about its health effects.


It is bizarre how hostile to humans we build cities.
Reducing the urban heat island effect is the easiest countermeasure to mitigate some of the effects of climate change. A tree canopy is cheap with additional benefits to psychological well-being and air quality.
Sure it does. It can send help.
