RIP Russiagate
I see I was wrong there so I looked some things up.
US renewable energy = 19.5%
20.3% nuclear (clean energy)
UK renewable energy = 33%
I cannot find any UK nuclear energy percentages. I guess they don't use nuclear?
So, we produce more clean energy than the UK and 5 to 6 times the population size and people say we are lacking behind?? 39.8% us clean energy to 33% UK renewable energy. Taking note that there biggest renewable energy is wind power and they have the best location for wind power. We aren't lacking behind as much as people are claiming, they are pretty much just lucky to be in a prime location for wind power.
People don't like nuclear power, because they are scared of it, it is still clean energy, so we technically produce more clean energy than the UK and people are pretending we are far behind, how does that work??
There have been nuclear accidents which have affected a large amount of land....like Chenorbyl and Three Mile Island.
Leaking nuclear material carries considerable danger.
Yes I know, but it's not a danger for green house gasses. Plus, wasn't the island thing from nuclear bomb testing? There has only been one incident with a nuclear power plant right? I believe the main cause was from a big storm, a hurricane or something right? They can use precautions. If we want clean energy for right now, we could use more nuclear power plants. I'm sure they can learn from their mistakes and as a caution don't have the plant near people, I would say it would probably be best to put them in underground facilities, that would be much safer, and have plenty of back up generators. They just need to make them safer is all. It doesn't take away from the fact that it's clean energy.
There was a nuclear power plant disaster in Japan (Fukushima) caused by a tsunami in 2011.
One in Ukraine (Chernobyl) caused by a severely flawed Soviet era reactor design combined with human error in 1986.
One in the USA (Three Mile Island) because a cooling malfunction caused part of the core to melt in 1979.
The thing with all of these is they were very old. The Fukushima plant was built in 1967. The Chernobyl plant was built in 1977 and built very poorly. The Three Mile Island plant was built in 1968.
I'm sure we are better at designing and building nuclear power plants these days.

Nor do I hate democrats. But if they're going to portray themselves progressive pure goodness, I'm going to be more critical of them.
I have no problem with that statement, but your post seem to be pro Trump.
More like I don't agree with a lot of the criticism. Like I didn't think he colluded with russia. Not because of pro feelings, but simply because I didn't think it happened. Like Crimadella I think he will probably try implementing a better healthcare plan, but out of ego, which isn't really a pro attitude. Just seems to me that some press and some people have gone way overboard with what seems like unreasoning hatred.
If Trump has such an idea of better health care, then he's been keeping it to himself all this time.
He hasn't been keeping it secret, he has to get rid of the Obama care first. I think his ego is a plus, without the ego of wanting to go down as one of the best, he wouldn't have a driving force to do good things. That's what I noticed and got tired of, people only care about get elected, then they do a string oof corrupt activities because they already secured their position. I string of events which has made every president we have had worse than the previous. He is already doing a way better job than Obama did in his full 8 years (IMO). I know we need to work on the environment, but we need the technology to be able to do that. What I have noticed that people fail to realise by pointing out places like the UK and solar power is our population greatly exceeds theirs, our cif cities have way more people than theirs, our demand for power greatly exceeds theirs. People are trying to compare 20 million people to 350 million people. That's a vast difference. We use way more power than the UK.
Why would he have to get rid of the ACA before having a plan of what to replace it with?
Also, population size & electricity use doesn't prevent the USA from generating "green," power from renewables vs. fossil fuels. That's fake news.

Please explain why based on your own current knowledge.

You are so funny, it's called standard logic, not fake news. The bigger to population, the bigger the setup you need to produce renewable energy. Could they do a little more, yes, but people have to invest in it for that to occur. I think you are fake new. I know you are trying to copy Trump, he actually has legitimate reasoning for saying it, you'really just saying it because you don't agree.

Congressional Republicans have no idea what Trump is talking about when he says he has a replacement for the ACA. If anything, rescinding without replacing Obamacare had been the Republican plan for years, so I have no reason to think Trump will be any different.

This started out with U.S. District Court Judge Reed O'Connor ruling in December that the Affordable Care Act's individual mandate is unconstitutional and that the rest of law is therefore invalid, and the Department of Justice siding with him.
What I'm wondering is if people will still have to pay hundreds of dollars in fines when they file their taxes this year.

Strange that a District Court judge could make that ruling when the ACA has already passed through the Supreme Court.
I have no idea about your second question. Maybe they thought that the middle class tax break that Trump promised but never came would make things even out.

It's poor people who are getting fined because they can't afford obamacare.
Perhaps mandatory obamacare with huge premiums, gigantic deductables and heavy fines for not participating, was set up by the government to suck out as much money as possible from the public.

Hardly all poor people are being sucked dry of their money; in fact millions haven't had that experience.
Either Obamacare can be fixed, or we should go directly to single payer. But the last thing we should do is go back to the old system where millions of people were left without medical coverage.

Sure those who qualify for a subsidy. The millions who don't have been up s**t creek.
Obama had years to fix it, so why wasn't it fixed I wonder. What would be nice is to go back to the old system where people got their old healthcare back, and obamacare took care of the rest. But I have a feeling the kind of healthcare packages people had taken away from them will never come back into existence after having been obliterated so many years ago.

It wasn't fixed immediately because no one knew how it would become apparently flawed at the time.
I think the question you should be asking is why the Republicans have always been so dead set against healthcare for those in need. And the obvious answer is, they are firm believers in pseudo scientific social Darwinism, as well as the Godless prosperity gospel.
