[rightwinger]

How about for every Executive Order Trump issues, he must revoke two?

 

[JoeMoma]

How about for every Executive Order Trump issues, he must revoke two?

So for each Executive Order Trump issues, two of Obama's will be revoked. No Problem.

The orange clown is childish as well as psychotic. His stupidity is going to result in an impeachment proceeding before his first 100 days are up.

We have paid far more for the lack of regulations.

Smog Deaths In 1948 Led To Clean Air Laws

The mill town of Donora, Pa., seen Jan. 1, 1948. On Oct. 27 of that year, a smoky, lethal smog killed 20 people. The air was polluted by local steel plants, railroad yards and zinc works.

Sixty years ago, an environmental disaster in southwestern Pennsylvania shocked the country. It forever changed the way Americans think about industrial pollution and their health.

On Oct. 27, 1948, the people of Donora, Pa., woke up to a thick yellow blanket of smog. Charles Stacey, who was a senior at the local high school then, remembers his walk to class that day.

"The smog created a burning sensation in your throat and eyes and nose, but we still thought that was just normal for Donora," Stacey says.

Back then, smog often hung on until late morning in Donora, a small mill town about 25 miles south of Pittsburgh. The town's zinc plant and steel mill belched out endless streams of toxic smoke.

But this smog was different. It darkened the valley for five straight days. That week, Stacey listened to the radio and discovered that the ever-thickening smog had turned lethal: 20 people were dead, and half the town was sick. He says everyone was overwhelmed by the havoc.

And many of the survivors had shortened lives.

The Acting Attorney General just stated that no attorney from that unit will defend that EO, as it is not legal or Constitutional. So will the orange clown fire her? That kind of action was what started Nixon on the road to impeachment. There is a very good chance that the orange clown will be given the same choice, resignation or impeachment. And, as happened with Nixon, that choice will be given to him by the GOP.

Low Costs of Solar Power & Wind Power Crush Coal, Crush Nuclear, & Beat Natural Gas

1. Wind & Solar Are Cheaper (Without Subsidies) Than Dirty Energy
The first point is the very basic fact that new wind power and/or solar power plants are typically cheaper than new coal, natural gas, or nuclear power plants — even without any governmental support for solar or wind.

Not only are they typically cheaper — they’re much cheaper in many cases.

For slightly easier viewing/comparison, here’s that chart again but with some orange lines added in on the low and high cost estimates for utility-scale solar:




The dramatically lower price of utility-scale solar power and wind power compared to fossil fuels and nuclear power should be evident to everyone today. Click to embiggen.

Yes, these are levelized cost of energy (LCOE) estimates from Lazard based on various assumptions, and they are averages for the US as a whole rather than prices for specific locations within the US, but the lower estimated costs for these renewables are reflected in the real world as well, where solar & wind accounted for 69% of new capacity additions in 2015, 99% of new capacity additions in Q1 2016, a large portion of new capacity additions in Q2 2016, and probably ~⅔ of new capacity additions for 2016 as a whole.

But these estimates in the charts above are actually unbalanced in favor of fossil fuels! Some of the assumptions are quite conservative, and some very real costs are left out.
