US Pulling Out of Paris Climate Accord

he should move to california!


if the leadership of clai is so good, why do people vote with their feet and leave cali for texas and other "climate denying" states

Uhhh almost 40 million people live there. They added a quarter million last year alone. I might have moved to California years ago if it wasn't ungodly expensive.

so what who the **** cares about subsidies and tax breaks!

i am a libertarian! i am against most forms of taxation! and against any and all government subsidies

taxbreaks who cares! it is not the governments money!

A tax break is a subsidy. Oil companies get massive subsidies. Solar has a 30% tax break.

If you don't know about this stuff don't comment on it.

I would sell my home and try my hand at ranching/farming if not for the fact that my wife would be miserable.

Agreeing on a definition of terms is the most basic condition for a good faith argument or even just a civil conversation. Instead of simply asking for clarification, all too often past slights and petty grievances run everything off the rails with insults.

Anyway, my understanding is that a subsidy is direct aid or some kind of monetary allowance provided by the government whereas a tax credit is a reduction in taxable income. That’s an elemental difference. Maybe it’s too simple and I’m missing something because it is true that subsidy and tax credit or tax break are often used interchangeably as a matter of course by many publications and commentators.

Still, there are economists that make a real point of not conflating them. Here’s an article that elaborates on the difference:
