3.55 trillion in untaxed wealth

Say you taxed them 50% of their unrealized gains, and assuming 50% of it was to the US, what percent of the US deficit could be paid?

I’d guess around 2-3%?

Most homeless have mental health problems, its not really an issue of acquiring a house but them ripping out the pipes to buy drugs.

China produces all those renewables as well which is renewables own Achilles heel. Environmentalists dont want to refine material in their country, but China has lax environmental regulation.

Those employees could have made their own IP. Isnt the game industry the easiest thing to do that with?

I think I’d read the original witcher was made something similar to that.

As opposed to green energy companies propaganda that rarely even mention the need for storage? Theres a tangible reason most countries arent fully moving to it for baseload power, its not a conspiracy.

Heres a longer video on it if you can stomach the fact nuclear is better than solar/wind:

I wont even get into the fact most refining and manufacturing is done in China using subsidized coal, and is why they are the leader in solar/battery production.

The study included Germany too, did it not?

The point of the study was including the effects of intermittency and non-dispatchability, which is what makes LCOE a flawed metric.

Do you have a study then, dont just come and take a shit.

I want the study to include storage, and maintenance obviously, and any backup power required for 100% grid reliability.

Have a reputable citation?

Here’s why renewables are expensive, which takes all costs into account for 100% uptime of power, without brownouts.

Most studies ignore a lot of cost.

Total cost of power its very expensive. When you see how cheap solar is that’s just the panels, you then have to deal with the intermittency, and the backup power generation for the periods where performance is degraded.

Whats the lifetime of a nuclear plant in the first place, is it above proven current reserves?

Maybe by the time we run out then something else will be the hot new thing. As far as why countries dont produce solar its because of environmental regulations making it too costly, which is why the large majority of required material is refined in China, so runs into the same problem as nuclear.

Solar relies on China who manufactures using coal, and puts us in the same predicament. It also requires storage, which also relies on China. Nuclear can be done domestically in many places, and nuclear waste is not actually waste, we can recycle that too theoretically.

What we need is a ban on lobbying against nuclear, to decrease costs. France built them in the 70s and somehow despite technology increasing dramatically we now cant, its government created nonsense.

Ah really, same as Canada, thats interesting.

I assume its energy storage problems, and its not efficient enough to import solar and the large amount of batteries required from China yet.

Maybe if Australia keeps increasing its coal exports to China the price will come down as energy prices fall in China.

Doesnt Australia export oil and gas?
