I work in Environmental Engineering, specifically Wastewater treatment. I do more to clean pollution in a month than you will do in a lifetime.

"The majority of Americans see some fairly severe environmental harms as likely to happen over the next 30 years," says Alec Tyson of the Pew Research Center, who helped lead the survey. "For example, 73% say they think a growing number of plant and animal species will go extinct, 61% say they think heat waves will cause large numbers of people to die in the U.S. every year and 58% think rising sea levels will force large numbers of people in the U.S. to move away from the coast."

Those sentiments are backed up by scientific research, which has long warned that greenhouse gas emissions would threaten Americans' health, finances and very lives.

Reducing fossil fuel consumption dramatically and immediately will help avoid even more dangerous warming in the future. Most Americans expect renewable energy to get more ubiquitous in the coming years, the survey finds, with 57% saying that they expect renewable energy will produce most of the energy in the U.S. in 30 years.

I'm not as smart as you but won't more green energy mean the price of oil will go down?

Surveys like that are worthless because they can be worded to get the results the survey sponsors want.

Plus ask them if they want to give up their single family home, their car, their air conditioning, and 24 hour a day electricity to meet the supposed "goals" of the survey.

Just an excuse for the government to tax it more so we use even less.

Who cares what American think? It is the propaganda that convinces them. And they do not learn from the past as elites always steal their resources. If we used prudent real infrastructure building and renewal, we would be far better off. And we have slowed down for many decades with a growing population in more places.

Ugh..again with this list from campaign website.

These...are...NOT..Accomplishments.

Trump has ONE accomplishment to his administration. The First Step Act. That's it.

Yeah, it’s a rather comical list. The “lobbying ban” was rescinded on his last day in office. For example...

Trump Revokes Lobbying Ban He Signed At The Beginning Of His Presidency

Administration officials who had been theoretically barred from lobbying their agencies for five years will now be free to do so starting Wednesday.

www.forbes.com

One listed is a “successful trip to Asia”. Like...really? Gee Biden had one too. As did Obama, Bush I, Bush II, Nixon, Reagan...

How about put solar panels on our roofs to start. Start there. Small but collectively significant.

You already gave up a toilet that flushes properly.

OMG is that why you want Trump back?

Trump claims Americans have to flush the toilet '10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once' | CNN Politics

President Donald Trump on Friday had a lot to say about toilets, sinks and showers.

www.cnn.com

 

[sealybobo]

The President claimed Americans are flushing their toilets “10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once” and argued that they are having difficulty with washing their hands in what appeared to be a tangent about low-flow sinks and toilets.

“We have a situation where we’re looking very strongly at sinks and showers and other elements of bathrooms where you turn the faucet on – and in areas where there’s tremendous amounts of water, where the water rushes out to sea because you could never handle it, and you don’t get any water,” the President said during a roundtable with small business leaders about deregulatory actions.

“You turn on the faucet and you don’t get any water. They take a shower and water comes dripping out. Just dripping out, very quietly dripping out,” the President continued, lowering his voice as he spoke about the drips. “People are flushing toilets 10 times, 15 times, as opposed to once.”

Increase the cost of houses, great idea in this market.

I have an older toilet, works just fine.

It's the collective attack on our quality of life over some possibly made up crisis that makes people want Trump, or at least someone like Trump back.

Getting it now?

Consider the solar panels an investment.

But I do agree with you if you are old. Why should an old person put expensive solar panels on a home they're going to die in? If the government wants to put them up for free cool. Otherwise the new younger home owner should get a great deal on a fixer upper.

In other words it's an investment.

This is a legitimate question for anyone who considers himself/herself a "left-leaning" person.

I realize that not all left-leaning folks agree with each other on all issues. Same is true of Conservatives (although I believe that we're more willing to voice our disagreements than lefties are). But generally speaking, what is it about the left's ideology or philosophy that appeals to you the most? List a few things that you truly believe the left has right as opposed to the counterpoints offered by the right.

Are you worried about the illuminati crap ? That's so 1980s.

On average, a residential solar setup can produce between 350 to 850 kWh per month. Therefore, going solar can help you save as much as 95% off your utility bill. If you live in a state with high electricity rates, switching to solar will likely be a good investment.

 

[mamooth]

Another non-answer. My responses have been cordial and on the level,

Your title was pure flamebait.

You don't want honest answers. You want to troll and insult. That's why you and all the conservatives here are insulting and running each time liberals give honest responses that you can't address.

And since you can't address that, you're going to scream more insults as a way of evading. We get it. Everyone gets it. You're laughably incapable of debating any liberal on any topic. There's no need to keep proving that.

Lots and lots of homes in Israel have solar hot water...

I am puzzled by the left's desire for the rich to do more. They hate business and corporations, and they say rich people need to do more, but this doesn't make much sense considering rich people pay most of all income taxes and businesses provide work and paychecks. I wonder if you guys could clarify exactly what it is you want the rich to do.

The social security that comes out of most Americans paychecks happens every week. If you make, I believe the figure is $140,000 all $140k has SS taken out. The $140,001 dollar you’ve made isn’t taxed. I think it would just be peachy if the rich had every dollar they made subject to social security taxes.

Of course the loop hole is that many of the ultra rich don’t really make a salary; they borrow the money they live on and sell stock to repay the loan. Perfectly legal and it gets around the income tax issue since borrowed money is not income.

The Secret IRS Files: Trove of Never-Before-Seen Records Reveal How the Wealthiest Avoid Income Tax

ProPublica has obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Warren Buffett pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

www.propublica.org

It’s all currently legal. It goes to show that the old adage is true; it’s not what is illegal that is troublesome..it’s what is legal.

Now of course we are constantly told that the taxes would mean that everything downstream from A-Z will “skyrocket” in costs. Yeah sure. We heard the same thing about the minimum wage and $15 an hour being a death sentence to businesses. Some fast food franchisees and retailers now offer $15 an hour to start.

So yeah...the scare tactics are not authentic. But they will continue...no doubt.

An investment that lasts how long before replacement?

These aren't wear part maintenance cycles.

And again, if someone wants to do it, more power to them, it the government force I am against.

Good for them. They are also in the desert, so it make sense.

Solar hot water in Maine? Not so much of a good idea.

Vermont girls volleyball players banned from locker room after objection to transgender student: Report

A Vermont high school volleyball player says members of her team were banned from the high school locker room after objecting to changing with a transgender student.

www.foxnews.com

Female students at a Vermont high school have reportedly been banned from using the girls' locker room after objecting to a transgender student changing there.

Members of the Randolph Union High School girls volleyball team were banned by school officials from using the locker room pending an investigation after some members objected to a biological male changing with them, WCAX-TV reported.

One of the female students told WCAX-TV that the dispute began when the trans student made an inappropriate comment as the volleyball team was changing in the locker room, triggering an incident between students.

Those would be banned in 2035 as well. EV only.
