Anyone know how that full law works? Something about "Buy American" and it was created in the 30s.
they do this using loop holes in Union Agreements
I went thru it as a Elevator Constructor, they started using pre fab Escalators, we pretty much just had to drop them in place and plug them in, a weeks work for what use to be 6 weeks. NOw they can build pre fab 15 story buildings in China in six days

So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
