My family owns a solar and wind company. Your numbers are very misrepresenting. Mostly probably because as you acknowledged, it was years ago. Take solar panels being produced right now. It takes about 18 months for one of those panels to produce enough energy to replicate itself. That...

You have some good points, but I think you underestimate the ability of americans to shop around for a better price. Healthy competition always reduces cost to equilibrium, with one caveat. Equilibrium is only reached when the consumer is making an informed decision. Call up a few...

Didn't say seamless, I said there will be a transition and it will result in a mixed market. The result will be solar and nuclear. It is the only thing that makes sense in the long run. Oil isn't King. PRICE and VALUE are king. The second alternative fuels even start to compete on...

Yes but I wasn't attempting to imply that they will go for it, but rather that it is the system that makes the most sense. Forced contributions to an HSA for every working american, that they can handle just like their 401K. They choose where they want it invested and what risk/return they...

Americans view their level of care as the best in the world. The general populace also considers the private sector more capable than the g-ment at running a business, which is exactly what the health care segment is. Most are also against any system that requires someone to pay based on...

that is always my first reaction too, but we have to be realistic about this. I'm a free market capitalist through and through, but we have a really messed up system and certain moral obligations to acknowledge. That is similar to saying that we should dismantel the corrupt government...

All of this arguing is pointless in the end. Natural transition away from oil is already happening. Soon enough the energy market will be full of competing ads that resemble the current fight between Cable and Satellite TV. By that I mean that options such as solar, wind, etc will...

Admittedly, the background leading to the proposed restructuring is a bit tiresome, but the author does do a pretty decent job providing some merit to his argument. Some stats are misrepresented as usual. But overall pretty decent. I think the proposal at the end of the article strikes a...

That'll be less of an issue next time around. The mormon thing I mean. I think Huck did himself a disservice by staying in the race against McCain. He shoulda recognized the situation and bowed out gracefully when everyone was calling him a Romney spoiler. Instead he sticks his neck out with...

Don't know about that. He's been raising funds for a second run for several months now. He's already behind the scenes, organizing support, positioning his campaign, and allocating resources. Don't forget, while it seems like the next race is four years away, it will probably start just two...

Obama doesn't need florida. He took Ohio.

I'm gonna be the first to call it. Mac wins the pop vote. Obama wins the presidency!:eek:

I don't think Obama loses, but I'm seeing the same thing you are. So far this is an exact repeat of 2004. No flipped states. Only one battleground state has reported and Mac took it.

Talk about a dead heat in the popular vote though.

I think Obama wins it too, but PA is a non issue. Kerry & Gore both took PA and lost. It isn't even a battleground state.:confused:

DITTO

It won't necessarily be a better one. It will just be a little bit different. In this latest revision DEMs gave up a bit too much of what they wanted. In the end, they couldn't pull quite enough votes. Now they will go back and put in a couple little things that the DEMs were forced to take...

We don't live in a democracy. We live in a republic. What you just described is how a republic works. IF this were a democracy, then we would all be voting on this bill instead of the elected representatives. In any case. It didn't have "something" to do with congressmen wanting to keep...

Republicans likely aren't the ones that are going to have to say "yes". They are going to present a plan that is drastically reduced in terms of money being used to buy congress support. It's been reported that Dems are demanding around $150B of it go to a failing current g-ment housing...

Super-strong?? Strong??? There isn't even average volume today!! What are you guys smoking? Quote from Briefing.com Thursday marked another low volume session for stocks...... Trading volume on the NYSE failed to break one billion shares for the ninth straight session. Volume typically...
