White House: 72 percent cut in clean energy research in 2019
- Thread starter CSCOTTOSUPOKES
- Start date
Why in the shit is it the government's responsibility to research fuel efficient vehicles!? $251m of the proposed cut is in that area alone. I am all for researching efficient-renewable energy, but I question whether $2b of our budget should be used for that, particularly with our deficit. The open market is doing well with it as it is..
On top of that, on Congress still has to pass it, which I doubt they will with drastic changes throughout.

Let all those environmental foundations/advocacy groups fund it.
If it is a great thing, finding private money would be easy. I’m pretty sure the Constitution doesn’t say the federal government is responsible for fuel efficient vehicles.
So let me get this straight - totally cool for the guberment to regulate markets through tarifs, not cool to invest in basic research to create national dominance in growth industries?
You want to win the washing machine war while ceding the next generation of transportation technology to China? Got it... Brilliant. Not.
Was the moon shot a good investment? Certainly better than subsidizing dead industries like coal...
I don’t like subsidizing industries. Let the market drive innovation. It happens.
I don’t think you can compare time periods. There is plenty of investment from private industry these days. You should know.
Yeah, some of this will drive greater returns to smart VCs as the research dollars will come from private investors to a much greater degree. However, the competitive landscape also shifts such that innovation will be coming from Europe and Asia more and more.
Just started an ExecEd program out of Paris and damn if they don't have their shit together. A lot of public/private money coming together.
Bad example. China is going to steal it anyway.
Yeah, who needs the next generation of battery chemistry, more efficient electric motors, or AI that would enhance safety and increase efficiency. Morons.
We certainly do, but we don’t need the gubment payroll not for it. The government is terribly wasteful and corrupt.
Help wanted. Russian Bots have infiltrated the Twitter share button. syskatine and Tea Pain alerted us to this injustice. Looking to pool our newly found tax cut wealth created by robbing poor people of the money we earned them to pay a competent Twitter sleuth to expose these Bots. Nancy Paulson is enemy number one and commands immense resources to surveil. I have qualified Twitter stalkers in mind. I just need your robbery of the poor proceeds to get this top flight help.
A tragic example of the Russian Bot Twitter share button infiltration. Any donation helps to cure this deadly disease...
Perfect example of Russian troll farms coordinatin' with far-right nutball blogs to generate #FakeNews and further Trump's attack on Mueller. Notice they are not RTs, but sent as original content. Yet, each tweet is identical. This is all cranked out by one Russian operator. pic.twitter.com/A6kI2n92l4
