just for permanently disabled.
... hey that seems to fit a lot of the folks on here. :)
The Department of Education will send letters to 387,000 people they’ve identified as being eligible for a total and permanent disability discharge, a designation that allows federal student loan borrowers who can’t work because of a disability to have their loans forgiven.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostYou don't grasp the point. The post was in response to a previous post filled with erroneous information.
The subject had nothing to do with light bulbs and gas lamps.
The fact is that renewables are still, and will be heavily subsidized by taxpayers , and in a pure economic sense, they can't stand on their own.
Two specific reasons contribute to that 1/2 the day it is dark, and the other1/2 may be cloud covered and it isn't always windy.
As you see , coal is only 2 %, but that is here in New England. But if you are so smart, tell us how your single digit renewable generation will overtake the 79 % produced by natural gas and nuclear. Physically speaking, you do not have enough land mass to support the number of solar panels what would be required, and you still have to deal with the dark, cloudy issue. Of course, you can deforest like the Amazon , but that still would leave you short.
Dream on.

I divested coal three years ago and have been shrinking oil and natural gas for the past year and expect to be fully out within three years. You are so out of touch it is comical. Btw my portfolios have averaged 12% return over the last five years. I make my clients a lot of money. I recommend that you limit your decision making to paper or plastic.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostLets keep it real
From the start, Bush embraced a governing philosophy of deregulation. That trickled down to federal oversight agencies, which in turn eased off on banks and mortgage brokers. Bush did push early on for tighter controls over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but he failed to move Congress. After the Enron scandal, Bush backed and signed the aggressively regulatory Sarbanes-Oxley Act. But SEC head William Donaldson tried to boost regulation of mutual and hedge funds, he was blocked by Bush's advisers at the White House as well as other powerful Republicans and quit. Plus, let's face it, the meltdown happened on Bush's watch.
"The financial crisis was triggered by a complex interplay of policies that encouraged home ownership, providing easier access to loans forsubprime*borrowers, overvaluation of bundled*subprime*mortgages based on the theory that housing prices would continue to escalate, questionable trading practices on behalf of both buyers and sellers, compensation structures that prioritize short-term deal flow over long-term value creation, and a lack of adequate capital holdings from banks and insurance companies to back the financial commitments they were making."
But if you are a Democrat it is important that you spread the myth that Republicans and conservatives are responsible for the economic meltdown.
If that were actually true, one might think the Obama would have taken the opportunity to convict those responsible ESPECIALLY if they were Republicans and conservatives.
Again, one only has to look who runs these companies.

Stupidity has its roots in ignorance. U aren't going to learn about these things on fox because it doesn't fit the conservative narrative

"With two-thirds of its energy still generated by coal, China produces and consumes almost as much of the fossil fuel*as the rest of the world combined.*It's also China's biggest source of carbon emissions. According to Greenpeace, authorities have issued more than 150 permits to build new coal-fired power plants this year alone, despite the government's pledges to reduce China's dependence on fossil fuel."

yeah you wouldn't touch it with a 10000 ft pole

And that doesn't even include the damage to your roof the panels are doing which is shortening the life of that roof.
BTW I know what I'm talking about as I own a free standing system ONLY made financially feasible because I paid 10 cents on the dollar for the panels.

The climatescope scores
Excerpted from http://global-climatescope.org/en/results/
As in the first global Climatescope released a year ago, this year’s country-level results portray nations rapidly advancing along the path toward embracing clean energy development – but with considerable distance yet to travel. The survey scored nations, Chinese provinces and Indian states on a 0-5 basis, taking into account 54 underlying indicators. This year, the average score across all countries came to 1.14. While this certainly represents progress compared to last year’s average score of 1.11, it is again indicative of how much additional work remains to be done. While 27 nations saw their overall scores improve year-on-year, 28 saw theirs decline.
Among the best scorers, there was consistency from last year’s Climatescope with the same nations finishing in the top five, but in a slightly different order. Once again, China scored highest overall with 2.29. Brazil again was second on the list, but did see its score dip slightly. Chile, South Africa, and India rounded out the top five.
On a regional basis, the 10 Asian nations achieved the highest overall average score of 1.40 and were clearly boosted by China’s high score as well as India’s strong performance. The 26 nations in Latin America and the Caribbean achieved an average score of 1.09 while those in Africa scored 1.06. As discussed above, China saw another record-shattering year in terms of both investment and deployment and for the second year received the highest overall Climatescope score, at 2.29. The country was the top scorer on two parameters and finished no lower than eighth on any.
As discussed above, China saw another unprecedented year in terms of both investment and deployment and for the second year received the highest overall Climatescope score, at 2.29. The country was the top scorer on two parameters and finished no lower than eighth on any.
Repeating its performance from last year’s Climatescope, Brazil landed 2nd on the list but saw its overall score slip to 2.12 from 2.17. The country’s lower showing was primarily due a sharp drop in its score on Enabling Framework Parameter I. This was partly due to slowing economic growth in the country. Chile saw its ranking rise one slot year-on-year to third with a score of 1.97, up from 1.79 due to a major jump in its Parameter I score. South Africa sank one slot to fourth but saw its overall score stay approximately level at 1.91. Finally, India rounded out the top five with a score of 1.81.
