Mark, your comment is incoherent.
US corps are going to China because thats the new market. There will be more auto sold in China this year than in the US. All the big car companies build there, and they have taught the Chinese how to make high quality cars, so in a few years you will be buying your cheap econocar at WalMart. China has ordered many, maybe hundreds of passenger jets from Boeing, and major components of all Boeing aircraft will be built there. PPG is moving their production from HSV there very soon, with the exception of the military stuff. China is building 30 nuclear power plants right now, using tech from GE, and an American workforce, that has not even been used in the US yet, and when it is, the fab work will be done in China.
Corps are nothing but greed, that is what makes them work for the shareholders.
You've just made a good argument for more nuclear plants in the US. Of course, being a leftist, you would hate corporations. We've tried other methods with disastrous results. Don't wish to repeat those experiments, again.
I thought your belief was that China is going to be getting it's power from coal !
Actually , China is adding power capacity in wind, solar, nuclear and coal.
Your rant about leftist not wanting nuclear plants (as best I could understand that blather) is not correct. I am a Progressive and have long been a supporter of nuclear power, Obama , although not very much of a progressive, has come out officially encouraging nuclear power in our mix. TVA is currently building another unit at Watts BAr, and as I now understand it, Belefonte will be finished afterward, as a nuclear plant.
Elint, your out in the stratosphere. Call the star ship to come get you.
No, its not my belief China gets much of its power from coal. Its a fact, not a belief.
From an 11 June 2006 article in the NYT:
"Coal is indeed China's double-edged sword — the new economy's black gold and the fragile environment's dark cloud.
Already, China uses more coal than the United States, the European Union and Japan combined. And it has increased coal consumption 14 percent in each of the past two years in the broadest industrialization ever. Every week to 10 days, another coal-fired power plant opens somewhere in China that is big enough to serve all the households in Dallas or San Diego.
To make matters worse, India is right behind China in stepping up its construction of coal-fired power plants — and has a population expected to outstrip China's by 2030."
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06...ess/11chinacoal.htmlGlad you are for using nuclear power. However, if you research most of the environmentalists and NIMBYs who oppose nuclear power, you will find they are leftists.
No starship, however, a time machine is looking better and better.
