You can get data from here up to 2022, US sits at 153 vs 155, and Luxembourg at 138, so basically the same. US has large lead on second place.
@martinkroeger@mattyglesias I agree, the vibes are so strong it’s even hard to convince close friends that Americans are better off. Not worth mentioning during a debate, as it could sound like Harris is ignoring America’s imaginary struggle.
@Jef_MedEd@AlecStapp Solar is inherently an easier technology to spend R&D on. Governments have played only a small roll in bringing solar to where it is today. Companies competing to produce the best panel, best inverter, best sun tracking system, all working together has done it.
@Noahpinion I read an article about how Peskin was fighting to limit Waymo expansion in SFO. He just sounded so power-hungry. Couldn’t handle the fact that the state controls autonomous vehicle rules and wants to be able to ban them himself.
@spicy_memes4u @aifurryart@Noahpinion 3. The US had a top marginal tax rate significantly higher than we current have, and we were economically thriving. https://t.co/zImyRE5Lnn
@spicy_memes4u @aifurryart@Noahpinion 2. https://t.co/CGj7sHIYeO
Figure 6 shows that while the top 10% earners have around 3x the emissions footprint of the middle 40%, the middle 40% still accounts for a larger total share of emissions. While unequal, it is wrong to say that only the top 10% need to lower emissions
@spicy_memes4u @aifurryart@Noahpinion 1. Untrue. Most emissions are in direct support of people’s consumption, around 70%: https://t.co/HhUqCc0FGX
In the US, transportation alone makes up 28% of total emissions, with 57% of that being light duty vehicles. https://t.co/VB4PYbWzvQ
@spicy_memes4u @aifurryart@Noahpinion Most emissions come from people like us! Yes there are people with disproportionately large footprints, but there are so few of them that you shouldn’t feel like it makes your changes irrelevant. Higher taxes are the solution for excessive consumption.
@d_feldman Most people I know with EVs, to be clear. Entirely anecdotal.
But the fact that cars are parked all night could be put to good use with vehicle-to-load setups in homes and high cycle life battery chemistries like LFP.
@d_feldman Most people charge their cars at night for the price, not because it’s the only available time to charge the car. If the night becomes the expensive time to charge, how many people are going to choose to waste bunches of money?
@Hashgraphian@jdcmedlock@walkemday@zerohedge Sorry, this was mean. And to that point, the data you are commenting on is not “mean”, so unless CEOs make up 51% of the population, they are not skewing the median. Median is the exact middle value. If you have a large set of sorted data points, it is the very center data point.
@Cappyarmy I think what’s alarming is how effective this propaganda has been on the right wing. https://t.co/dpS11Qdj5e Looking through these poll results and you can see conservatives are just falling in line with Kremlin beliefs more and more. Honestly ridiculous, the party of Reagan.
@LoganSkrzypczak@Jikiyama @AsimovsOracle @Noahpinion Show us those insane profits for food producers. Record profits should be pretty standard for a country that grows at 3% per year. Record GDP every year!!
