Lets be real here. You have nothing to hide if you protest. You have alot to hide if you start to riot, as in, cars and property are burning or destroyed, not what CNN labels as "protest"

Renewables are a joke, see PJM who supplies most of the atlantic region and chicago: https://www.pjm.com/ Coal is not going anyways, it still supplies a healthy amount of power with gas/nuke as the top 3 sources. Renewables are nothing in comparison. We need cheaper nuclear to knock out coal, which is what most of the US wants, than move to take over gas (which is hard since a good portion of the US is drowning in nat gas. Renewables is a fake dream.

The poor get an additional $150 back in tax refutds, thats like 7 burritos they dont have to pay with BNPL. Sounds like a deal to them

The bill simply removes the green energy distinction. Its trying to promote the re-idustrialization of the US. Dont matter if you want keep putting pin wheels in farm feilds, solar panels on a roof, or build a nuclear reactor, or build a factory. Its a general tax benefit to all.

Its 1k pages, aint no one on slashdot cares to read anything beyond dumb green energy headlines.

Most of the US is broke and paying burritos with BNPL. Whats the big deal

Thats cute. You know who contirubtes to the death of the planet? Go look in the mirror. Go walk outside. Everyone is. Too many humans, need a Thanos snap.

Its not the cars' fault if you have over a 1bn people centered in highly dense cities. See china.

I currently have 600mbs/35mbs plan + Unlimited data option for $120/month. These new prices are actually better. New plan doesnt change my current upload speed (probably due to infra in my area). Im thinking of going to the cleaner 500mbs plan, plus the free 5G line for a year. Xfinity 5G cell service is quite competitive to TMO, so its hard to complain about Xfiniity now.

I just built an IMAX screen in my backyard.

My neighbor dropped his bottle of mountain dew, leaned over to pick it up and ended up in another neighbor yard

The first rover mission was $1BN, the latest rover mission was roughly $3BN. $1BN wont cover anything today. It has to be commerically led for an ROI vs tax payer funded science. Just because its led by private dollars doesnt mean science wont be moved forwarded. https://www.forbes.com/sites/n...

This is directionally correct, but not 100%. A blockade with China would be easier than a hot war. They are heavily dependent on imports for fuel/food. They cant grow food worth a dam now, the land destroyed. Blockade = you run out of dino juice to fuel a military, and within a few months people will go nuts with lack of food. EVs dont meet jack when the military runs on dino juice with the exception of a few nuke subs. You still need food, which again, they cant grow worth a dam (hence their huge dependence on imported food goods)

This is true because China cant magically make up decades of ICE experience like the other asian and western competitors. ICE is real hard, especially with emissions rules. This is also why they dont have competitive domestic miliary/commerical jet engines, too late to the game. EVs on the other side have less barrier for entry with off the shelf key technologies out there. See why you have not seen a startup go for ICE and succeed.
