And Venezuela is a Short Plane Ride....

Posted by Arielle83She was just elected to the US house of representatives. Only roughly 14% of the people in the district she represents voted, and the congressman she unseated didn't make any effort to campaign against her because he thought his seat was secure.
Who is this?
I’m not into American politics
She is a former bartender who was known to steal tips from her coworkers.
She gets a lot of media attention.
She went to an Ivy League school, but watching her in an interview, I came away with the impression that she is one of those educated well above her level of intelligence.
She is currently getting attention for proposing what shes calling a "Green New Deal", which if actually passed into law would probably destroy the US.
You want a person who represents the negative stereotype of a Millenial, she is it.
She reminds me of this phrase from Dickens "A Christmas Carol" (yes, it's a little out of context from the story, but it fits oddly here):
"This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both,
and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy,
for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased."
I find hilarious that you bring venezuela in that tittle, using 100% solar energy would be more feasible in a country with so much sun uptime and no seasons, hard to say that about 75% of the US states lmao

Are you saying that America doesn't have warm temperatures for half the year?
Most states on the bottom half are bristling hotclick to expand
germany is generating almost 20% their energy from wind, solar energy only produced close to 7% , hardly enough to maintain a state, quite a contrasting difference as both projects started at the same time
PV installation figures are dropping rapidly in Germany. The 2014 total was 1,899 MWp, falling from 3,309 MWp in 2013, according to a report by EurObserv'ER, some say that after the Renewable Energy Sources Act [EEG], there was a market collapse that resulted in a loss of more than 80% growth, germany is not meeting any development in the solar energy field
"Are you saying that America doesn't have warm temperatures for half the year?"
are you going to have energy only half the year?
"Most states on the bottom half are bristling hot"
but those states cant sustain the entire country, also most of those states are busy using their land for farming.
farming and wind power is a good mix, but the US is way to big to pull that out
US need nuclear fusion energy, theres no way around that, and development is going strong.

Nuclear has way too many risksclick to expand
@Black-Mamba
"Don't they have electricity maintenance areas, That half a year can generate for a full year"
you mean like energy storage? kinda, but battery technology sucks, and produce a lot of toxic waste, so most people who want to go green avoid those, and they are good for household most of the time, specially with led bulbs, anything in the industrial sector just consume too much power, however solar panels DO produce energy during winter, but is less than in sunny setting, not even going to talk about cloudy days.
"Even half is better than none"
now that is true, but that's why the deal is just going too far, is like when bush said that we were going to sent "missions to Mars and to worlds beyond" like easy there girl, we are still figuring out how to not run out of energy.
the deal proposes 100% green energy in a 10y frame, no concessions.
"Nuclear has way too many risks"
but that's the thing, nobody is explaining that theres 2 type of nuclear energies.
we have fission, that produces a huge amount of toxic waste, and is quite a mess.
and theres fusion, that we are developing, and would put near-limitless supply of electricity on the grid with no real drawbacks (that we know of)

Y’all act like solar power is the only green power source out there.
Of the total sources of power in the US, 62.9% are fossil source, 20% nuclear.
The remaining 17,1% is "renewable", which includes hydro, wind, and solar.
As for fusion.....please provide where fusion is at a scale where it supplies a city block with power. I'll wait.
Hydro, solar, and wind only have limited application. Wind affects wildlife, and hydro has been attacked by environmental groups.
Same with tidal.
The green new deal sought to eliminate nuclear, even though molten salt tech is already available, and a much better alteranative, but good luck getting that going.
But, carry on.

It's not really about 'green', the whole bit is a mechanism to force socialism on the US.
Occasio-Cortez site took down the proposal based on the reaction among the public.
So much for having the courage of one's convictions.

But if you want the facts go read the New Green Deal thread that was made a few days ago. I'm not going to repeat myself everytime some ignorant person goes on a tirade over a non-existent issue.
Posted by elllleYeah, sure.
People are so afraid of her. I love it.
Its what she represents. Arrogance and ignorance.
And it's not fear. But if that gives you some sort of comfort, that's cool.

Yes, because Venezuela hasn't been sabotaged by the US who created the economic crisis and then blamed socialism isn't now also setting up a puppet candidate to get control over their oil.
You do realize Chavez was elected by the people of Venezuela, and so was Maduro (at least initially)?
And the US created nothing. In fact, Chavez was lauded for his brave steps by elements in the US, and so was Maduro until those videos started leaking out.
But I suppose neither were the "right people" to usher in Utopia.

what do you mean by "limited applications"? I know I extrapolated to a degree but I wasnt aware of more problems with solar than the uptime and the storage part.
socialism in the US would be crazy, your capitalist system is already mega corrupt, if you people go red, how more corrupt could you get lmao

that's the best thing she could do, it was a stupid proposal.

Limited application is with respect to that solar is roughly 1.6% of the power supply to meet consumption needs in the US.
As far as the new green deal, I came across something from an NGO and I'm beginning to wonder if there isn't some sort of collusion going on:

Anyone with a job that can be done from home who lives more than 7 miles away from their workplace must work from home 2 days a week from 2025
For short trips less than 3 miles, the standard should be “soft transport” (bicycle)
Every garden must be converted to produce food
Every building permit must include vegetable garden rather than parking spaces
Meat consumption to decrease by 10% per year from 2020 to 55 pounds per person per year in 2030 compared to about 200 pounds today.

Progressive ban on substitutable processed food (sodas, all junk food, hamburgers, pizzas, pasta, chicken nuggets…)
Quotas to limit the consumption of imported products. Especially coffee, chocolate, exotic fruits
Ban on all flights outside Europe from 2020 onwards unless duly justified
Two round trips long distance flights allowance limit per young person aged 18 to 30

Ban on the sale of televisions over 40 inches
Creation of a single 5G network
Prohibition of online advertising on websites
Video stream must be reduced by a factor of 3 by 2030
Limit to 2 pounds of new clothing on the market per year and per person from 2022
In 2026 oil heating devices will be illegal in houses. Natural gas, electric convector-type and electric heaters will be gradually replaced.
New single-family-home construction, except trailers, prohibited. New buildings must be exclusively condos with a maximum per capita living area of 320 square feet
Immediate implementation of a 4° reduction in the average home temperature
In 2025, a thermal curfew will be created, carbon heating systems will be switched off between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. to reach 62 degrees average in the homes
The space used per person must be reduced by 20% by 2030, from the current 430 square feet per person to 344 square feet per person
Specific uses of electricity: sobriety in consumption, gradually decreases from 4 to 2 kWh use of electricity per day and per person.
Creation of a tax to ensure that everyone has access to the 1st kWh, and to discourage the use of more than 3/4 kWh of electricity per day
