Not so much of a challenge. Redwood is the biggest US company in the field and its lithium battery recycling operation is already turning a profit.

If the Supreme Court hadn't gutted the Voting Rights Act on grounds that actually ran contrary to what they claim their philosphy of limited jurisprudence is, they would never control Congress again. If they didn't allow states to blatantly gerrymander, the Republicans would never have a majority in the House again. If Florida, Desantis took the gerrymandered congressional district map proposed by the Republican Legislature and made it even more biased.

As opposed to the harmlessness of burning fossil fuel. The IMF puts the global subsidy for fossil fuels at about 6 trillion dollars per year. That's about 6% of global GDP Most of that is due to the harm burning fossil fuels does to human health. But none of the ranters consider that when they are going on about the harm that silicon panels do to the environment.

It's a good thing that planes running on fossil fuel are immune from running out. Otherwise, your comment would be pointless.

You can look this stuff up For example: https://www.kcra.com/article/counting-california-votes-from-the-election-sacramento-county-official-explains/41924837# (you'll need a vpn to access this particular site via a california server) I do think it's funny, that so many of the same people who demanded recounts by hand for the 2020 election, are now complaining about the slowness in the counting of this one. I'm sure their complaints are innocent and in no way designed to raise doubts about the integrity of the elections. I mean these are not the kind of people who, say, would see some sinister plot in the attack on Paul Pelosi. Heaven forbid! Anyway, why the need for instant gratification? Why does a week or more matter?

You mean you didn't feel the shackles falling off when Brexit took effect?

Because states wanted to give more voters an opportunity to vote. So early voting was greatly expanded.

Maybe he should be awarded the Neville Chamberlain Prize.

As you clearly are not aware, there's a war going on in Europe right now which has straitened supplies. So it's an emergency situation. The more renewable power that gets built, the less likelihood there is of such an emergency occurring in the future.

In an interview with the Washington Post before he took office, he said his health care plan would be ready in a couple of days. At any rate, Republicans have given up trying to get rid of the plan. In fact, it's so popular that in every red state that put up a referendum stipulating adoption of its Medicaid provision, it won.

Thank you for your uninformed opinion. Now for some facts: https://www.lazard.com/perspective/levelized-cost-of-energy-levelized-cost-of-storage-and-levelized-cost-of-hydrogen/

Actually, it's down to 5 million and expected to go lower as the West coast votes come in. I'd be curious to know what those totals will look like if Florida, Texas, and California are subtracted from the total. Or better yet, what swing state totals would be.

I think most of the developed nations in the EU are headed that way. But there are recessions and then there are RECESSIONS! The outlook is that the UK is headed for the latter.

What percentage of citizens of most nations are expats? That's a pretty low percentage. And what percentage of those expats earn their pay in the currency of their homeland as opposed to where they work? Most expats are actually migrant workers or undocumented aliens, and they earn their pay in the country they labor in.

The point is that most new power plants being built are renewable. So over time, as fossil fuel powered plants are retired, the percentage of power provided by renewables will increase. You can't get from here to there with a snap of the fingers.

A recent development that could allow for far greater range is the development of a new kind of flow battery. It's capable of holding a far greater charge than other batteries. The developers claim it could be treated like any other liquid fuel. So you just pump the charged liquid into a tank, the same way that fuel is pumped into a fuselage. Unlike fossil fuel though, the liquid doesn't burn up. When its charge is mostly spent, it's drained and recharged, while fully charged fuel is pumped back into the aircraft. https://newatlas.com/energy/influit-flow-battery-density/

There is a huge installed base of fossil fuel power plants. But most of the new power plants coming on line worldwide are solar or wind powered World Adds Record New Renewable Energy Capacity in 2020 Global renewable energy capacity additions in 2020 beat earlier estimates and all previous records despite the economic slowdown that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic. According to data released today by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) the world added more than 260 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity last year, exceeding expansion in 2019 by close to 50 per cent. IRENA’s annual Renewable Capacity Statistics 2021 shows that renewable energy’s share of all new generating capacity rose considerably for the second year in a row. More than 80 per cent of all new electricity capacity added last year was renewable, with solar and wind accounting for 91 per cent of new renewables. https://www.irena.org/news/pressreleases/2021/Apr/World-Adds-Record-New-Renewable-Energy-Capacity-in-2020

Frequency and magnitude count. The 2 sides are not the same. So when you write something like this: Come now, does either side really give a damn about truth and reality any longer? Honestly, I've seen little evidence of it." That shows you disagree.

So much for your prediction that if the Republicans take the House, there will be no prosecution. That never made sense in the first place.

Trump gave her a pass = no case.

Bangkok Brian is playing so unfair by using your own words against you.

Here's a generalization for you: When somebody doesn't address the facts raised, they are just bloviating.
