    BINGO!

    But it was against the law to bring that gun into California. Shouldn’t the law have stopped that?
  3. brenthutch
    California doesn’t have sensible gun laws?

    There is a big difference between letting a company keep some more of its hard earned cash and government handouts.

    You obviously didn’t take accounting in college.

    “According to the EIA in 2016, the most recent year for which complete data is available, the federal government spent just shy of $14 billion in energy subsidies and support. Subsidies for renewable energy totaled $6.682 billion, while those for fossil energy totaled a mere $489 million.” https://www.insidesources.com/us-still-subsidizing-renewable-energy-to-the-tune-of-nearly-7-billion/

    And that is why we get our solar panels from Malaysia, China, South Korea and Vietnam.

    A paltry sum when compared to the $36 billion collected by just the Federal government on just road fuel taxes. BTW nice job of singling out export coal, when I said fossil fuels as a whole.

    The truth can be hard to digest

    As it stands with the "renewable sector" being a $200bn revenue US industry and a failure rate on govt loans being just 2.7% (about half of the private sector) and those subsidies being primarily in the form of tax breaks which are expiring with almost no opposition you simply can't ask for a better outcome in how the US is addressing the roll of the energy sector in climate change. The "but subsidies" argument simply doesn't hold water and besides, tax breaks are what conservatives almost categorically use as a tool to give an industry and the economy a bump."" Most renewable tax credits expire in 2022. Either you are being purposely obtuse or you just don’t get it. Let’s take this one step at a time. Please compare the amount of tax revenue received by federal and state governments from fossil fuels to the tax revenue provided by renewables.

    When/where did you show that?
  15. brenthutch
    Just like natural gas fields

    I am for high density energy production, which has a smaller footprint than wind and large scale solar and their accompanying distribution web which occupy massive swaths of land.

    Bill, just how does the electricity get from the windmill to the end user?
  21. brenthutch
    How do you explain below average temperature in the US = record low drought?

    AKA how CO2 causes global warming
  23. brenthutch
    We have: Atlantic Multi decadal oscillation, Dansgaard-Oeschger cycle, Pacific decadal oscillation, Milankovitch cycles, ElNino, LaNina, not to mention solar cycles and their interactions with cosmic rays and cloud cover. It is the interplay between these natural cycles that drive global climate. let me be clear, I do agree that CO2 has SOME impact on global climate especially at lower concentrations. However, since physics tells us that the greenhouse effect of CO2 drops off logarithmically, I think the labeling of CO2 as a globe destroying poison requiring trillions of dollars to battle is foolish.

    The spectacular failure of CO2 based climate models does. If they didn’t predict the pause they can’t explain the cause.
