There're things like this: Angela Merkel Suggests Germany Can't Count on the U.S. Under Trump, but really, how bad is it to not be Germany's go to for aid and does it mean that they've in turn deserted us? And is her word good?

I agree though the law is tilted against solar power and the like, direct subsidies go to the fossil fuels industries as well

Why not instead we tell Corporations to start switching to green or start ****ing off

The utilities market is so horrible right now and in most areas they are just a monopoly and you have no choice put to sign up with them and the crappy energy they provide. I don't see anything wrong with having companies that supply green energy being an option for people that want it while giving them lower rates than the area monopoly company that just does whatever they want and charges their customers variable rates based off of the seasons. Higher in summer sincr everyone wants to pump their AC and higher in winter.

It is fine to have the delivery side regulated but the supply side shouldn't be.

I think her word is pretty good. There are numerous opinion articles out there claiming she is now the leader of the free world. She has enough influence for that to actually be true.

I think you're underestimating how quickly things can change in this world.

Politically or environmentally?

Idk man, if it's the former I don't think this is the issue that's going to do it.

Yes, I heard this last night on the BBC.
It's more of a symbolic gesture, but one
that reflects badly, again, on the US
(as if the US were a reflection of this turdface).

I've never despised a person so much.

Not even Exo?

The president is not the CEO of his own company. He is elected to carry out the good of the people. Trump is only interested in what is good for himself.

I'll never understand the thought process some people had when they thought a businessman would be a good president. That's not how it works.

Obscene.

Sure, but will you deny you'd watch her walk away?

Truth bombin' from The Washington Post. Wonders never cease.
