They were asked, and Trump just gave blather which didn’t respond to the question. Biden responded to his blather
Not entirely though actually getting anything past the courts is going to mean something like expanding the court to disempower the Republicans there.
That’s probably become increasingly untenable. So he just responds with nonsense instead of a meaningful answer.
But what does “has to” mean anyways? The reality is motivated judge can rule pretty much anything as “ambiguous”
Sorry, but the judge is hoping for a gratuity
That’s the idea: extract the oil, pay out everything as dividends or share buybacks, and then sell the well to a doomed-to-fail company which can declare bankruptcy and leave the public responsible for cleaning up the mess. The oil industry has a long history of taking advantage of inadequate bond requirements for oil wells to do exactly that.
Which is why I’m going to do what I can to prevent that: I care about policy, not about how the candidates look or anything.
It’s about the voters’ views, not the elected officials.
Yes, they’ve been updating the vaccine every year to match currently-circulating virus strains. This is about an additional update coming out this fall.
Pretty much the same thing is done with flu vaccines, where you need a periodic update for it to be effective.
No, not yet. There will probably be one in September or October.
Basically: the US isn’t the only country in the world, the things he’s doing are going to cut emissions in the long run, but only making a modest difference as yet, and CO2 accumulates over time
I absolutely agree.
Vehicle sales remain below pre-pandemic levels
I don’t deny that conventional concrete is still being used at scale. It’s something like 1% of US emissions.
You can use a different chemistry to make a hard substance. There are a ton of options which look good in tests, and pretty much nobody uses them.
There are tables of that elsewhere
The problem hasn’t been “you can’t do it” but “architects and engineers don’t have enough experience with it to trust it, so they don’t use it” — a federal government purchasing program can fix that.
Which is why the federal government is trying to buy concrete made in different ways that don’t cause those emissions.
It’s not at full scale yet, and won’t be for some years. but it’s how you actually solve that kind of problem without making peoples’ lives worse.
