America has a history of invading countries that hoard their resourses.

Oh god we have one of those idiots who think America is a flipping pirate...

Combined GDP of developing countries is $44 trillion. They have money to pay for climate change.

Nope poor and developing countries should only have to pay what they individually can afford without seriously harming themselves. Also the first world has a hand in the third world's percentage of climate change.

Price of batteries that can store energy for that long is too high.

No it isn't

There are places in the US where cloudy weather can last for weeks and even months.

Yup and that has no serious impact on solar power

Wind is just as unreliable as solar.

Considering Solar is very reliable yes it is just as reliable as Solar

From talking to people who have the same viewpoint as our komrade here, yhe objection usually is that it is not always windy everywhere there are wind turbines.. To that I say, no shit, Sherlock, it doesn't need to be, and just like solar, system designers account for it by provisioning excess capacity and by having diverse generation capabilities.

Such people are useful idiots.

Right? It's not as if we don't have a grid that can supply electricity in places where it isn't generated - you know, like we do for non-renewable sources today.

Impeached Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton admitted he stopped Democratic votes from being counted on a podcast which would have given President Biden and Beto O'Rourke wins in Texas. Turning Texas Blue.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, said former President Donald Trump would have lost in Texas in the 2020 election if his office had not successfully blocked counties from mailing out applications for mail-in ballots to all registered voters.

Harris County, home to the city of Houston, wanted to mail out applications for mail-in ballots to its approximately 2.4 million registered voters due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the conservative Texas Supreme Court blocked the county from doing so after it faced litigation from Paxton's office.

"If we'd lost Harris County—Trump won by 620,000 votes in Texas. Harris County mail-in ballots that they wanted to send out were 2.5 million, those were all illegal and we were able to stop every one of them," Paxton told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon during the latter's War Room podcast on Friday.

Your evidence?!?

You need 10 times more solar panels on a cloudy day for same power output

Evidence, you chuckle-fuck. Not your opinion on the effectiveness of solar on a cloudy day.

My, but you are fucking thick, aren't you?

[Ravenshire]

So if the sun's not shining brightly due to cloud cover, solar panels won't absorb as much power?  Whodathunkit?

Bet the panels take in even less at night.  J/S

There are places in the US where cloudy weather can last for weeks and even months.

Medford Or. is a great example. Yet the VA in the neighboring town of White City utilizes a solar field that will pay for itself in under eight years. The generate enough electricity to reduce their total annual grid usage to negative numbers. Just imagine what can be done in the empty deserts of the southwest.

Maybe you should read up on how solar actually works and how efficient modern panels are becoming instead of spouting ignorance at every turn.

What a fucking meathead!

US Representative and slow reader Ralph Norman (R - SC) complained that 72 hours is not enough time to read the debt ceiling bill before voting on it. The bill is 99 double-spaced pages.
