    Do you think that adding "lololol" to every post makes your argument particularly pertinent, relevant, or persuasive?

    Jobs are barely going to be worth anything in the future because machines and AI will be able to handle nearly all of it and thereby require massive subsidizing by the rest of society.

    But if you're referencing energy sector jobs specifically, understand that society already subsidizes the fossil fuel industry to a much larger degree than any of the renewables.

    Because, like everything with conservatives, it's all about money, money, money. Anything they perceive as a communist plot to relieve them of their cash, they'll protest against. Even if it makes their lives better and healthier. That's how terminally stupid they are.

    Nobody knows how to store and distribute all this alternative energy.

    I say that, for once, let somebody else be the guinea pigs in implementing the bleeding edge of technology. The US has the crappiest cell phone system in the world. Why? Because we built it first! So we have a massive infrastructure of obsolete technology.

    Let others make all the mistakes and we can just copy the successes.

    So no rabid Trump supporter has said why pulling out of the deal is a good idea. So I'll predict this. If Trump decides to pull out, they will cheer it as yet another brilliant decision by the great President Trump. If he decides to stay in it, they will cheer it as yet another brilliant decision by the great President Trump.

    The power that man has over people is pretty astounding.

    Don't kid yourself.

    I know liberals (their political views) far better then they know themselves. I even used to side with them prior to my brain being fully developed.

    Actually I'd be disappointed if he kept the US in this BS "deal" that does absolutely nothing to benefit us financially. By "us" I'm talking about the private sector that actually produces the products and services that people pay for by their own choice, therefore driving the demand.

    Perhaps if you didn't chicken out of answering simple questions, you might have your answer.

    Why does everything have to be about money for conservatives? Tell me, did you support your imbecilic decision to go to war in Iraq, along with the trillions in tax dollars it cost you? How did that benefit you, financially?

    We are one of only three nations to pull out of the agreement and the international accusations have been blistering and Merkel is saying that they need to be independent because they can no longer depend on us.

    Global warming isn't about wealth redistribution its about alternative energy. Its based on a 97% scientific consensus and the scientific facts that CO2 is a heat trapping gas, it is an important part of the greenhouse effect, and we have dramatically increased the amount of the CO2 heat trapping which is increasing temperatures.

    Around 1850 is when the first quasi-global temperature record started

    I always found it quite charming that people claim the green movement is corrupt, BUT the oil industry that makes hundreds of billions of dollars a year and has polluted our atmosphere and waterways... they're A-OK! Wait, no, not charming. Idiotic. Propaganda works, I suppose.

    Yeah, you keep laughing, chuckles, as the rest of the world slaps carbon taxes on our exports and countries turn away from our products, which are already mediocre and expensive to begin with.

    Ivanka is still on board with it.


    However, the sheeples take on it is: What a wise man our leader is. He is not afraid to admit when he was wrong.

    I guess somone shouting at you out of your AM radio, or one of your clickbait blogs said that.

    It's ridiculous. But this kind of made up paranoia seems to be standard on the far right.

    Yes, it is so. China has made massive investments in alternative energy. They know they can't keep choking under clouds of coal dust. And they know that alternative energy is the future. It's also their future, since the only fossil fuel they have domestically is coal.

    China already dominates the solar panel market. They did that with agressive dumping. Of course, the right never blamed them for it because the talk radio guys who do the right's thinking for them were busy blaming Obama over Solyndra (which was crushed by Chinese dumping).

    I think the US will continue to play a leading role, dispite the stupidity of its current leaders.

    Translation: Let's Make America A Follower Instead Of A Leader.


    Do you really think that's a good idea?

    Market incentives produced by government? Very interesting.

    Doesn't sound like a market with demand.
    The funny thing about markets with demand, they make profit because there is demand, and they did it without government. You're just begging for cronies to waste your money aren't you?
