>>The U.S. was the only country at the G20 summit over the weekend not to sign onto the 2015 Paris Climate Accords.

And Paris is currently rioting over the taxation results of the Paris Climate Accords. Of course, our media is doing very little reporting on this.

It won’t happen cause the Dems will ultimately call the shots with a liberal judge stepping in if necessary...deep state, deep state, deep state....the left rules cause the right has no balls.

Trump last week floated cutting GM's subsidies for electric vehicles and raising auto tariffs to punish the company if it cuts jobs in the U.S.

The Volt is one of the six cars being eliminated so I would imagine that the subsidies, if there are any to begin with, would go away with the Volt itself.

I presume these subsidies were approved by Congress. Taking it further, it sounds like Trump/Kudlow et al think they can stop Congress from passing bills that include future subsidies. Could that get through the House? Can it even get onto a House bill? Aren’t all funding bills supposed to originate in the House of Representatives?

I wonder how many countries that signed onto the 2015 Paris Climate Accords met their reduction targets, all of them, most of them, half of them, a lot of them, a few of them or none of them?

Excellent. That’s the only way to stop the solar/wind stupidity.

About ten years ago, the company I worked for supplied a solar manufacturer. Their fortunes took a serious dive when Spain cancelled their subsidies.

That’s where they sold many or most of the panels.

They went belly up not long after.

“Kudlow said he expected subsidies for electric cars would end by 2020 or 2021, according to the report”

I would love to see that statement expanded on.

I bought a low end Volt in Jan 2016 for 33K. I wanted a dual fuel car, not because I’m a green idiot. After subsidies and rebates, I got it for 26K. As much money in taxes that I pay, I got some of it back this way. Its a great car for me - I really like it. I change the oil once a year so maintenance is minimal. It gets a lot of flames here on FR, but by people who have never driven or owned on. To each his own.

There are issues with electric cars that people seldom talk about.

One of those is that in many places in this country, the electricity needed to recharge the electric cars is being generated in Coal Fired power plants.

So in that case, the allegedly pollution-free electric car is not pollution-free, because the power to charge the batteries came from fossil fuels.

Also electric cars place a big burden on our electrical grid. If we suddenly have tens of millions of electric cars on the road, it would strain the capacity of our electrical grid to recharge all of those cars. We would have huge problems if suddenly millions of people wanted an electric car.

Good!

Subsidizing some lib or mindless retard (one in the same) to drive a worthless piece of junk is an outright waste of the taxpayers money.

I’m hoping renewables includes those ugly windmills. My recollection is that our local power company once said a rate increase was because they were required to buy some of that renewable energy from a windmill. They are not cost efficient to the taxpayer or the consumer. They have got to be wonderful for those selling them and those getting kickbacks.

There is a place not too far where there are acres of unassembled windmills. I’d like nothing better than to see some salvage company cut them up for scrap.
