It’s called a self-embargo

That’s a comically high and specific %

well, at that point the numbers lose their meaning.

That comma is a mantissa separator or just an aesthetic fluff? 3 with something or 3521?

You know what’s funnier? I mean, it’s not funny, but it also kind of is. At the same time, the Trump administration is pushing coal burning power plants. Aside from the high levels of pollution, including greenhouse gas emissions that coal plants produce, no one in the US is building new coal fired power plants. Twenty years ago, coal generated over 50% of the electric power in the US. Now it’s less than 20%.

Even if they were, it takes years and a huge investment, including getting rail access to the plant, to even bring one online. Electric utilities spread their capital outlays over decades rather than years. So I would expect that convincing the industry to switch back to coal, with the understanding that they’ll have to maintain new coal fired plants for the next 40 years, is going to be a nonstarter.

All tarrifing solar panels will do is push power utilities toward natural gas and exacerbate the (actually legitimate) issue of insufficient base load generation capacity that they’ve been whining about for years. Oh, and also kill residential solar projects.

Long way of saying this action will continue to weaken our already strained energy infrastructure. You could try to incentivise domestically produced solar panels. But this is not how you would do that.

At first, I thought it was 3 point 521 percent because we use “comma” for decimal points and “period” for thousand separators.

Nvm it is over 3000 percents !! Might as try 9999 % and make a meme out of it.

FFS which world lines are we on?

And people think there’s no conspiracy from the oil companies… Maybe instead of gasoline, we should try to use oil executives to make our cars go?

Is there some kind of nazi numerology at work here?

3521% is oddly specific.
