Certainly don't tear anything down. Mothball those plants in case they are needed in wartime, during unprecedented weather activity that disrupts solar production for long periods, etc. Maintain a reserve of fuel for them in the bargain. Coal is great for this because it's great at lying around. You certainly don't want to use it if you don't have to, but it would be foolish to dismantle it. It's worth paying to store it.

No, this isn't a thing. It's either being increased or reduced. The USA is doing worse by increasing, but we also need to be actually decreasing the use of fossils.

What customers need is information, so Apple has decided to bury some, because customer needs run contrary to Apple greed.

I had a B&W G3 with the Rev.1 logic board defect which caused data corruption on UDMA transfers. Apple elected not to include their page on remedies when they brought the old TechInfo Library into their new Knowledge Base, because instead of replacing the defective hardware, they told you to buy an expansion card and use up one of your four slots for it, at a time when literally the same card was $20 for PC or $100 for Macintosh.

Hiding information is what Apple does. That's how people can think their hardware is high quality.

I put WiFi 7 in my PC for twenty bucks, counting the antenna. They've got WiFi 6 that can only reach 24'? What year is it?

Increasing the energy demand is their problem, though. We can and should build societies in ways which use less power, like designing them to not need commutes. China wants to call itself Communist, let's see some Communism! Let's see them Commune! But the best they've managed so far is to do some minor riffs on the western strategy like building their big square skyscrapers with bamboo. (Yeah they have some amazing buildings, so does everyone else, let's not get into a dick measuring contest because that would be too ironic.)

As you say, the west is totally repugnant in this regard. The USA exemplifies this. But it makes me sad to see others repeat our mistakes.

There's no fair measure, there's only equivalent ones.

Measuring per-capita is only fair if the capita is making the decisions.

That's not a "but", if anything, it's an "and".

Learn to read. Five months of deflection is not due to a single employee. It's due to a single employer.

"Huang is being investigated, Trump reached out to him directly (not the investigating bodies, the subject of the investigation), and asked his friend"

fuck this posting delay on desktop is so stupid, only the absolute lowest-wits need 20 seconds to think of something to say on this turd

"Their prophet married a 6 year girl and raped her when she was 9. In the west we shit on (child) rapists while Islamists celebrate and pray for them."

But no, you don't. If you did then you could claim some moral high ground, but you support the marriage of children to adults under Christianity which is going on in the USA right now, so you are factually in favor of child rape, and you only complain about Islam because of your racism.

Since then they have been exploited by the US, Russia, and China.

If you knew anything about anything it would be a miracle.

No. Water is not food. YOU should avoid it at all costs.

Of course there is. It's very easy to verify that I exist. It would be even easier, but the Nazi trolls have chased the users who know me in meat space off of this site.

Oh, so what you're saying is you have sock puppets for moderation? This is my surprised face.
