When did natural gas become renewable clean energy? I ask because this morning on CNN to dispute Trump’s assertion that we needed to pull out of the Paris Accord to save US jobs, they put up a graphic with fossil fuel jobs on one side and it only had coal and renewable clean energy jobs on the other side and it had natural gas, solar, and wind. The purpose of the graphic was to show that we have more renewable clean energy jobs than we do fossil fuel jobs, so job protection is not a valid reason to pull out. There was also no mention of oil jobs.
Dont worry Turd I just got myself a nice new gig which quite a bit of exposure to different areas, so thanks 
Cant you conspiratards go back to the fun ones with normal aliens and grassy knolls
Ok, so let me start by saying I was all for staying in the Paris agreement. HOWEVER, I thought this article offered an interesting perspective on the topic.

It goes back to one of my issues I’ve hit on repeatedly, which is that circumventing the senate with “winner takes all” unilateral executive action like its some sort of partisan cheat code creates false progress and policy instability as it is easily reversed. This was the problem with several key policies ranging from coal to immigration. This actually goes back to the Obama administration (which I liked). The impact was not as noticeable because I generally agreed in spirit with what was being done, but now that I may not agree with much of what’s being done its becoming clear that the central mistake was in circumventing legislature to avoid compromise resulting in impermanent policies. So now we’re back to square one.
Congrats on the new gig Yayyy!
it’s cool. gotta make that paper. i have no idea what your situation is. just know until you’re the top dog, you’re expendable. moving all the way up may require certain ‘moral compromises’. i’ve seen this first hand and it’s one of the main reasons i left my jurrb.
so concentration of power is good until it’s in the hands of someone you don’t like. thanks for the revelation. maybe concentration of power is bad in and of itself. but lets keep voting the establishment in. things will change any day now.
I get a kick out of all of my kayaking hippy friends freaking out about coal now. A year ago fracking was the devil. Pick one, because a few years ago, coal was about 1/3 of electricity production in the US with Natural gas around 20%, now it’s ~35% natural gas and like 15% coal. It’s clearly been primarily natural gas taking share from coal, so pick your poison. Suddenly all the hippy haters love fracking, sheesh.
thanks ltj, and Turd I am well aware of that. Certainly would enjoy the ability to get out of the rat race at some point but gotta pay these bills until I have any sort of opportunity like that. Ive seen the moral compromises some make as well and its certainly a decision I cant imagine most people take lightly (you would hope at least) and hopefully a position I dont find myself in. However I do like to think I would take the high road and move on at a point like that and stick to what I believe in.
Actually my stance has been that the executive action in the Obama administration was the root cause and all executive action circumventing legislature has been the problem. Thus making the central issue going forward to begin on the whole addressing things through legislature once these actions are unwound. Poor reading comprehension.
I missed the post you’re referring to. What’s your new job and what’s the problem with it?
BS - he was just mocking me for working in bo. Mentioned I got a new gig which is still BO/MO i suppose but still significantly better. Will be working @ a PE/RE fund under the CFO & working with deal teams on structuring deals as well as projecting liquidity and such. Not sure there was a particular moral issue think it was just a general thing about why working for yourself is better, which many people would likely agree wit
Ah, ok.

The problem is one thats been getting worse for a long time, political parties becoming less open to compromising, and the parties having less power over their individual members.
You still paddling your own canoe Turd?
I think so? does that mean out on my own? then yes, although I’ve brought some non-managing members into my GP in order to scale up my platform. Closing a deal in 2 weeks and have a nice pipeline so things should be going well by fall…if the world doesn’t blow up first.
Good that you were able to get someone else to hustle. Most of my buds who flew solo burned out after a couple of years.
yea it’s really helped relieve the burden. I can concentrate on finding deals and they have a nice equity network they can tap. no need to thread the needle scrambling for equity once i get control of an asset.
hungry? grab a covfefe.
