Tell me how batteries are made.

Not at all. Simply pointing out the amount of times science has missed the mark in the past on this subject

...or clearly the "science is settled" crowd has been wrong multiple times in the past.

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/climate/climate-change-has-been-a-routine-scare-tactic-since-1930s/ “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing variables of climate uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies.” April 28, 1975, Newsweek There's one born every minute...

Renewables Threaten German Economy & Energy Supply, McKinsey Warns In New Report https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/09/05/renewables-threaten-german-economy-energy-supply-mckinsey-warns-in-new-report/#3630b4558e48 "Problems are manifesting in all three dimensions of the energy industry triangle: climate protection, the security of supply and economic efficiency," writes McKinsey.

When hurricanes Harvey and Irma both hit mainland US in quick succession in 2017, critics claimed this was the “new normal.” In fact, those two storms, along with Michael in 2018, were the only three major hurricanes greater than a Category 3 to hit the continental US in the last 13 years. That’s a record low since 1900. For comparison, the average over the same timeframe has been nearly eight major hurricanes. It’s vital to consider the science. In its most recent assessment, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported that “no robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes … have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin.” Globally, the international scientific body finds “no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency.” https://nypost.com/2019/09/05/what-aoc-co-get-horribly-wrong-about-dorian-and-climate-change/

Sure..this one's OK but Snellenberger...not so much.

You would think those articles praising him for getting it done might have pointed that out.

Yes...and all of these things are in sunny California. Here in flyover land we can go a week in the fall and winter without seeing the sun. My point is your designs for the future mostly apply to California and don't take the rest of the country into account.

Wow...you know more about the subject than Snellenberger? You're going to need a wheelbarrow to carry that ego around.

I can afford more expensive juice...so can you. What about those who can't? To be clear this isn't about AGW or whether we need to address it, it's about the costs. Thanks to the heavy deployment of renewables, electricity prices in California between 2011 and 2018 rose seven times more (28%) than they did in the rest of the country (5%), while electricity prices have risen 50% in Germany since 2006. Not difficult to be less expensive than really expensive.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelshellenberger/2019/09/04/why-renewables-cant-save-the-climate/#43a9e9203526 But around the world, renewables are in crisis because they are making electricity more expensive, subsidies are expiring, and projects are being blocked by wildlife conservationists and local communities.

I'll be interested in hearing how he committed suicide. I haven't heard anything yet.

Absolutely John... please show me an economic system that's superior. Your knee-jerk reaction to someone befouling your precious green energy dream speaks volumes as to how the science treats skeptics.

To be fair it's not an election year for him anymore. He hasn't had to worry about blowback from his constituents for some time now.

I think we're missing something big here...styling. The S looks are getting pretty long in the tooth. I actually never liked the look from the beginning. Elon will have to work on the style soon. Re-tooling will dig into the profits for sure. Parking is another issue. That's one fat, wide car. Door dings abound. Current parking spaces are a bit narrow for the S

I have several FB friends who are approaching the top earner mark. They are business owners who have employees. They will never increase the overall salaries of their employees without someone forcing them. They cry about minimum wage as they sit on their boats and drink martinis and talk about their vacations. It makes me ill sometimes.

OK...that line of thinking works. But that's not the message to the rest of the country; the rallying cry of man made climate change is actually getting in the way of accomplishing the green agenda.

My take on minimum wage is fairly simple. I believe it needs to be increased however, I've never met a business owner with employees who doesn't already think he is paying them too much. The cost will just be passed along to the consumer and in 5 years or so inflation will have eaten up the gains. Also, many jobs will simply be eliminated. We've already become a nation of part time employees. I place the blame for this squarely on requiring employers to provide insurance coverage for full time employees. On a related note: the House just voted on a bill that includes eliminating the sub-minimum wage for persons with disabilities. https://www.disabilityscoop.com/2019/07/19/house-votes-to-end-subminimum-wage/26924/?fbclid=IwAR3qQuvRUgwWlSoaEYHeiYw48W7i1H9eidDGAL1jjFtav7XwWJotKbTupQA We believe this is a bad idea. The majority of people who fall into the category are not capable of working in a traditional job setting. They can, with supervision work in some areas however, there is no employer who would be willing to pay many of these individuals full pay for working at 10-25% of a normal pace. The end result will be less opportunity for these folks to contribute.

This one was over the top. I think either he drinks in the evening and drunktweets or he does this shit on purpose just to piss people off.

DO you get sand in your eyes?
