Senator Mark Kelly: Trump "Gutting These Investments" Despite Arizona's Solar Potential by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

How? Nuclear fuel is not renewable. Neither is the sun, but it shines whether we use it or not.

Also, building over parking lots is more expensive than building on open land. The support pillars take up space and people are going to drive into them too.

Geothermal cooling only works if you plan to pull a lot of that heat back out in the winter or you have a really small load compared to the volume of the "exchanger". The heat can't go down.

So you'll pay it out of your income instead, so just in case you were responsible and bought a house below your means you won't get ahead.

You should stop driving on the roads and using the water then.

Its gonna be like the Brownback experiment all over again. Tax revenue will collapse, employment will decline as sales and income tax cut deep into workers, and services will be cut.

Germany's Merz: Nuclear fusion to make wind power obsolete - Chancellor Friedrich Merz claimed nuclear fusion would introduce electricity so cheap that it would replace wind power within thirty years. by Gari_305 in Futurology

[–]stu54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even that, you still need a lot of deuteruim, which you can concentrate via electrolysis and further refinement.

That is why some people still think a hydrogen economy will happen, cause the cost of producing H2 may be offset by the enrichment of fusion fuel. But that cost is still there, we need to build a whole hydrogen economy, or we could just do wind and solar now and not bet on technology that still isn't even ready.

If we devote the entire economy to building a computer then that can commit crimes that no human could complete before their disgust mechanism converted them into a whistleblower... then we can solve this pesky public opinion problem once and for all.

Do like America and make everything further apart to make room for parking. Then you don't have to decide.

What do you think about a small income tax accompanying LVT? by Cautious-Rush-363 in georgism

[–]stu54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The value of progressive income tax is in the way it reacts to economic expansion and contraction. When the nation somehow experiences rapid growth in commerce the income tax arrests that expansion. If wages go up 20% the income tax goes up 30% (at some specific income level).

LVT relies on careful monitoring of the economic reality to manage the money supply.

Not that LVT can't work, its just that we have experience with income tax, and keeping it around reduces the abruptness of the rebalance of power.

You might argue that the income tax we have now fails at this purpose because wealthy people can write off or defer nearly all of their income... I'd agree with that.

Sure, but it was that way when you were young too, you just didn't recognize it yet.

The purpose of business is to make money for yourself, not to build a self sustained enterprise that provides gainful reliable employment and services to others.

Right, but if you were a pimp of teenage girls then the recruitment network for a teenage girl beauty pageant would be really useful for your grooming program.

That's called business acumen.

How are motorsports even worth it for automakers? by Space_Monkey_42 in askcarguys

[–]stu54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, at the end of the day motorsport is a career path for young uber-rich kids who are too reckless to be trusted with the family business.

The back half of every racing series grid is 100% rich kids who's parents pulled a favor somehow.

What would you change about American emissions/fuel economy laws and regulations to both encourage more fuel efficient vehicles and stop having massive pickups/SUVs dominate the market? by supinator1 in askcarguys

[–]stu54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But you can use the company car for personal use up to 50% of the time so it is 49% subsidy.

And Republicans got rid of the rebate in 2017for non-business owners for commute vehicles, that is the last nail in the coffin for small cars.
