B-Man Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 A quick refresher course to remind us of previous global warming/cooling scares. IT’S AS IF ALL THE GREEN PANACEAS ARE FAILURES: Driving electric cars won’t make a dent in global carbon emissions, and may even increase pollution levels. You know what works? Nuclear power and fracking. PEOPLE WILL NOT STAND FOREVER FOR BEING TOLD THEY MUST STARVE IN THE DARK IN THE CAUSE OF SOME NEBULOUS “ENVIRONMENTAL GOOD”: Ten observations about the French protests. .

Don't forget that the only way to stop climate change is to radically redistribute the world's financial resources. If we had only learned that lesson over the past 10,000 years (or so) of human civilization. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Quote About two-thirds of voters are concerned about the recent federal government report warning of potential dire consequences for the United States due to climate change, according to a new poll. A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll published Thursday found that two-thirds of voters are either very or somewhat concerned about the findings of the report. Another 58 percent of voters also agree that climate change is caused by human activity, the poll found. https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/419998-poll-two-third-of-voters-concerned-about-trump-administration Ya, ya. They will care more about having to actually do something, like pay higher gas taxes to try and make even a minimal dent in the problem. Nothing is going to change until Florida is destroyed or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Gal Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 California Becomes 1st State to Require Solar Panels on New Homes. Here's How It Will Reduce Utility Costs The California Building Standards Commission on Wednesday unanimously upheld a May 9 decision to require solar panels on homes up to three stories. The requirement goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020. Currently, just 9% of single-family detached homes in California have solar panels. But as the state pushes toward decreasing greenhouse gas emissions—and with a 2045 goal to transition to a fully renewable energy grid devoid of fossil fuels—this rule will help accelerate that progress. Aside from energy efficiency, solar panels reduce ozone-damaging household emissions, most of which come from natural gas-generated electricity. </snip> The fine print in a different article: California officially becomes first state to require solar panels on new homes Nobody spoke Wednesday in opposition, but the commission received about 300 letters opposing the mandate because of the added cost, the Orange County Register reported. Energy officials estimate the provisions will add $10,000 to the cost of building a single-family home — about $8,400 from adding solar and about $1,500 for making homes more energy efficient. But those costs would be offset by lower utility bills over the 30-year lifespan of the solar panels, officials said. </snip> Homeowners will have two options that eliminate upfront costs of adding solar: leasing the solar panels or signing a power purchase agreement that pays for the electricity without buying the panels, said Drew Bohan, executive director of the energy commission. One solar-industry representative said the net savings from adding solar power will be about $40 a month or nearly $500 a year. </snip> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
