Qatar has been known to fund most of Sunni Terrorism in the World. They have been caught directly giving hundreds of millions to ISIS. In Wikileaks, Hillary admonished Qatar for funding Isis and told her assistants that they needed to put p

Texas is the biggest renewable energy producer in USA and almost all is from wind in the last 6 years. Rick Perry the big fossil fuel Republican did this from a $7B unpopular at the time investment into transmission lines from wind heavy ar

In 10 years regardless of this agreement flyover country will have more renewable energy jobs than manufacturing jobs lol. Iowa, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nebraska, North Dakota and Kansas generate 25% of their total energy from just Wind and

In California we will be paying 77 cents per gallon just from taxes. So the price at the pumps would be 77cents lower. From every renewable energy we get tax credits. Yes we pay for subsidies of random things like cattle, corn, and oil, but

Most of the new renewable energy is coming from red states and it's coming not due to some moral obligation but due to jobs, demand, and price. The Wind corridor may turn Blue for next election. Farmers getting paid 10k a year to lease

Yeah so the Afar Depression would be feasible and would stop 12 years worth of ocean rises and create a lot of power, but would cause a lot of costs and issues to the area. I thought Death Valley was huge but only stops around 3mm of ocean

We could use it for hydro power. I think of these only Afar Depression would have substantial impact and feasibility. Worth 12 years of current estimates of sea rises

Great info and so many other great answers and fun reading. Okay so the Afar Depression would be the equivalent of 12 years of current sea rise increases. It would require many tens of Kms worth of canals but in return could create a lot of

Serious question, if sea level increases are so damaging and feared is it possible to build a water pipeline (like an oil pipeline) from higher coastland to a lower area and then create an artificial river to use in an artificial dam. I thi

Community College in the USA is so subsidized it costs maybe 1k a year to attend and they are strategically placed so 95% of the population can live at home and commute. Your expenses in the first 2 years where the content is exactly the sa

I wholeheartedly agree, I was deeply moved by this and loved his writing style so much and wanted to read something else by him. Shocking that he died so soon, seemed like such a good man.

$1B for non military related scientific funding, I wonder how much it is including the military. Remember, DARPA created the Internet and DARPA related grants and research helped lift off surgical robots, self driving cars, and EVs. We&#x27

For State run propaganda, there is never any alternative. In the West system I can start my own news org and run it. Huffpo and Brietbart were started in response to the monopolies of the 2 parties and were started with very little in capit

But in the West the media is not state run. The Chinese government decides what to run and clearly that is propaganda. In America the media is controlled by 2 political parties and they are either pro or anti government. The media in the We

Umm I don't think you are getting the fundamental logic here. America has pushed propaganda, but they also allow movies that make America look bad: botched CIA missions true or not, slavery, different look at revered historical figures

UoP the Bay Area's local dental school costs 160k a year...that means dentists are paying back 600k (120k undergrad) in very high interest loans for a long time. This is higher than medical school. College cost increases in every disci

LOL nothing compared to China. China partners with startups, steals their IP and then escapes back to the homeland and no course of legal action. They get all the access to the West's markets and then give almost no access to their own

This is a serious ethical violation in my opinion. Like the sjsu student in that article, I am extremely uncomfortable with people of suspect moral compas analyzing my face without my consent. As a Bay Area frequent user of tinder, I do act

In your assessment, do you believe Anthony created Otto after discussing a buyout with Travis? In other words do you think it's likely that Travis and Anthony had planned all this before? All the evidence points to Anthony being guilty

The biggest takeaway from Theranos is that investigative Journalism is not dead. John Careryu (sp?) single handedly dug up the truth in a non disparaging factual manner and went up against a team of ruthless lawyers threatening to utterly d

I am definitely very excited about this. Blanket statements like "government is too inefficient and such a waste" or "we need to raise more taxes to fix this problem" are statements that are irrefutable due to the convol

You are wrong. 5 employees saying that they were fired right before they were due to vest is a very high number and it is unlikely they interviewed too many. Judging from what else we know of the CEO, this isn't surprising at all
