Are you guys pleased so far with the Infrastructure and CHIPS Acts??

Sure. Are you happy with inflation and the idea that household appliances in the US are somehow responsible for climate change?
I heard a new one today. “Climate justice.”
What dumbfckedly contrived bunch of horse shit is that?
The CHIPS Act is seemingly the one thing this administration hasn't fvcked up.
...but there's still time.
If you're cool with the slow march towards socialism and the loss of personal freedoms, then you should continue to bend over for the American left.

No. It’s not possible because Mt St Helen’s ( 1000s of other geothermal events)?released more combustion byproducts in 1 second than in all the history of humanity since the discovery of fire.
I have stated my opposition to manmade climate change and homosexuality for 20 yrs here. Just in the last two years - you have forgotten that.
I’m opposed to coal burning plants because-I know PERSONALLY from working with the Southern Services lab in 1978 as an intern what poisons are in coal ash - and the lobbies that try to keep it secret.
I haven't forgotten. Just wanted to remind you that the Dem party doesn't agree
Tell us about how clean your solar power is. I’ll save you the Google trouble.
After about 15 years, solar panels lose their effectiveness and are no longer useful, after which they go to waste.
However, this waste is not like ordinary garbage, it is incredibly toxic and poses a significant risk to the environment. In fact, solar panel waste is 300 times more harmful than nuclear waste, and its disposal requires a costly and specialized method. Unfortunately, many countries send this toxic waste to poorer nations.
This issue is only going to get worse as by 2030, we will have 8 million tons of "green" waste, and by 2050, that number will balloon to a staggering 80 million tons of solar panel waste that will likely have reached the end of their lives.
I'd rather not have mountains of coal ash too. Options? Nuclear and natural gas at this point. The green stuff isn't an option because it can't possibly replace the capacity and it's not economically viable.
So yes, coal ash is bad. So is nuclear waste. But going without power would be far worse. Many more would die from a lack of access to reliable energy than will die from coal and nuclear waste.
Weren’t most of the coal plants converted to LNG during g the Bush ( Cheney) administrations? Check and see.
121 coal plants were converted to burn other fuels between 2011-2019. 103 of these burn LNG. 220 coal plants remain in the US.
So the US has 220 coal plants. China has 1,118. India has 285.
Number of coal power plants by country 2022 | Statista
China has around five times as many coal power plants as any other country in the world. India and the U.S. each had more than 200 plants in 2022.

Just to be picky, I’m pretty sure the number of coal plants converted to “LNG” in the US is 0. Perhaps there’s a couple out there, but I’ve never come across any.
Please list what activities and changes have occurred under the CHIPS act.

Sure talk about CHIPS while I wait on Briben to cure cancer as promised and as interest and inflation rates climb like a howler monkey with his azz on fire.
Bump! Meant to do this two minutes after the original post
