      The outward rationale is that it 'helps domestic production and creates jobs'. Never mind that at best case its neutral on both, while making products and svcs more expensive for consumers and likely resulting in a trade war in an unrelated industry. But likely his real rationale is to deal a blow to alternatives and give the fossils a leg up.

      From an environmentally friendly standpoint, its of course the right thing to continue to drive alternatives. But the purely economic reason...is that it keeps American innovation focused on a whole technology frontier. It gives us a sandbox to play in. And it is US innovation that is a cornerstone of what keeps us at the forefront of global competition.

        And going back to a fossil fuel focused Government is going to send all our scientists to other nations. We'll be the "dirty" country.

          At least we don't have athletes puking and wearing masks because the air was so foul due to pollution as it was last month in Delhi. (Yet?)

            We're working on it. We passed laws to prevent that years ago but the new deregulations have thrown those out.

              A not so infrequent occurrence that we like to joke about is when you tell something to a patient that is not what they want to hear and they reply "Well that is just your opinion."

              I always stay professional on the outside but on the inside I am always saying "Isn't that the whole **** point of you coming to this appointment?"

                I'm in the 34%. I would never do that to a professional. Ever. I may get another opinion, depending on what it is, but I would never do that.

                  I very frequently offer a second opinion in those cases. What it turns out to be is they just want me to tell them what they have already concluded/want, not that they think that I am wrong.

                  It is pretty demoralizing to have a decade of formal education thrown aside by someone who googled something. Or someone who "knows their body" who is forgetting that it is my job to know everyone's body. I often wonder if other professionals have this? I do not find myself arguing with my dentist, mechanic, lawyer, insurance salesman etc.

                    I'm told I'm an idiot by people all the time who have no idea what I do. It's not just Doctors. Google has really put a dent in what it means to be an expert in any field.

                      Yeah, because even older Republicans knew we had to deal with things like LA's smog. Hence Nixon creating the EPA.

                      Today's GOP crew, and those who support them, don't believe in protecting the environment. So get ready to go back to 1970's air quality.

                        Ditto. And fellow lawyers make for the worst clients.

                          Quake kinda sorta woke me up, it was a faint rumbling that lasted a few minutes, no big deal. Now, the EAS alert on my cell phone for the Tsunami warnings jolted me up pretty quick. No real big waves and the alerts got cancelled by 4 am but people in Kodiak and Homer had rough nights.

                              The one knock against some medical experiences is that they don't bring a 360 degree look...when a 360 degree look is helpful.

                              For example, I was treated for an internal medicine condition that required specialist attention. The second specialist did a great job (the first was not direct enough...and so I didn't know my problem was serious). But I had to request a simultaneous diet and physical exam regiment at the same time - the doctors did not do that. My insistence turned out to be a key aspect of the whole recovery.

                              Every medical provider should have a complete solution tree from the top down for designated hospitalization conditions...and a referral on a personalized diet and exercise regimen should be a default.

                                Hey, I trust my doctor. It's just that I like eating junk food, and sleeping in instead of going to the gym, as much as my fellow Americans.
