The United States federal government should substantially increase financial incentives for the conversion of domestic weapons production to non-military spending.

The action in their evidence that prevents militarization is the removal of funding from weapons programs we do that means we solve that advantage.

OIL DA

We’re decades away from transition away from oil –massive influx of wind and  solar will kill oil prices and spark transition worries.

Decreasing prices crushes the alternative energy transition and causes climate change

major investors in clean technology and cost-competitive producers will become crucial.
What are the chances that the transformative dynamic towards clean energy is derailed again?
AND
, the probability that a clean energy transition will unfold is very high.
First, RD%26D and niche market support has unleashed a wave of scientific interest and technological creativity to explore clean-fuel and end-use alternatives in all scientifically advanced countries. The assumption that competitive backstop technologies for oil will be ready to be scaled up within the 10–20-year period is not only plausible but very likely.
Second, the institutional and policy support in favour of clean energy, while highly fragmented and imperfect, is creating vibrant industries with increasing competitive pressure for all technologies, and sustainability as an overarching core value. In brief, the trend to slowing oil demand growth appears irreversible in the absence of a ’black swan event’.
Can international oil influence the trend through price or quantity strategies, now, before

and help accelerate market readiness and market opportunities of backstop technologies for oil.

Immigration reform passage is likely as a result of Obama’s exertion of political capital – Boehner will let it though without a majority of the majority

• If you do away with growth then there can be no interest payments. If more has to be paid back than was lent or invested, then the total amount of capital to invest will inevitably grow over time.

• Therefore almost the entire finance industry has to be scrapped, and replaced by arrangements whereby money is made available, lent, invested etc., without increasing the wealth of the lender. That is incomprehensible to most current economists, politicians and ordinary people.
