Does a Cheater Change Science? by Helga http://sunpowereddreams.com/2009/12/07/lies-liars-and-statistics-does-a-cheater-change-science/#comment-477 Helga Fri, 08 Jan 2010 11:05:37 +0000 http://sunpowereddreams.com/?p=285#comment-477 i like the succinct nature of your post. i agree with it too. there's another explanation to this as well though. there are always two sides of a story. perhaps these researches were sponsored by people looking to specifically profiteer from the global warming phenomenon, and they therefore needed results that conformed their stances. of course, its still unethical and a slap in the face of science, but thats happened many times before i like the succinct nature of your post. i agree with it too. there’s another explanation to this as well though. there are always two sides of a story. perhaps these researches were sponsored by people looking to specifically profiteer from the global warming phenomenon, and they therefore needed results that conformed their stances. of course, its still unethical and a slap in the face of science, but thats happened many times before

I think this is a great start seeing how China is one of the most polluted countries in the world. Much worse than the U.S. but most people don't realize this. You have to visit China just to see how much worse it is. If only India would follow! I just saw the news bit about how China is beating the U.S. in terms of cutting back on emissions.

That's a 30% rebate from the government for putting in renewable power into your home. The tax credit is not calculated/effected by AMT calculation and is paid out if the credit exceeds your taxes for that year. There is a 30% tax Credit in the US, with no limit (for 2009).

Does anyone if this goes for the US as well and how much we're talking about? According to this article: http://www.solarpanelmanual.com/

“Various countries are already providing financial incentives to those who go solar, and more countries are soon to follow.”

Does anyone if this goes for the US as well and how much we’re talking about?

As of today, more than 95% solar panels are built in China. Any new product released in the market heads to China for manufacturing, but there should be plenty other higher valued jobs created if green revolution picks. I believe it is only the beginning.

And, true, I think motions that forward the use, research and study of alternative sources of energy would provide enough of a stimulus to get people more jobs and in the long run better the world's already failing health. Also, I think that more legislation should be forwarded concerning the use of alternative sources of energy- state rebates and federal tax cuts already motivate people to turn to wind, solar and hydro energy- but I think we need a little more push to get more and more people to turn to these resources.

I don't have hard numbers, but if any of you have stood under a set of track lighting/spot lights in a house, that's a LOT of heat to get rid of. As the author says, keep changing those bulbs! (Though LED is best, methinks! Hopefully cheap LED replacement bulbs are coming soon!)
