james clapper and john brennan... of course. these two idiots claimed Iraq had WMDs and had no knowledge of the arab spring. responsible for helping orchestrate millions of deaths in the Middle East with the previous Saudi order. deaths less important than MUH KHASHOGGI cause MbS cut off their Saudi sugar daddies.

Found this real quick. Imma look some more as well.

If it takes about two years for a PV panel to repay its energy, we can calculate the amount in pure energy terms.

First we have to make a few assumptions. Let’s say this is a 300W module, which is pretty standard nowadays. Larger modules are available but they get physically difficult to handle. Smaller modules are also available, but as you might imagine the overhead in materials is lower on the larger module. So we’ll go with that.

If you have roughly 700 days of sun in two years (which is optimistic, but it makes the math easy), 5 hours a day of good sunlight at the equivalent at which the panel is rated (this is seasonal, but it’s what we use in South Africa and it makes the math easy), then this 300W panel makes 700 * 5 * 300 = 1050kwh in that two years.

A barrel of oil has 5,729,000 BTU according to the second search engine result I just googled, which is 1680kwh (of raw energy). So you could say, with a lot of hand waving and generalisation, that it takes about two-thirds of a barrel of oil to make a PV panel.

Doing the math another way, there is 30MJ of energy in a liter of crude, which is 8.3kwh. So it takes 126 liters of crude (ignoring all inefficiencies) to make a PV panel. That’s 33 US gallons (out of the 42 that is in a barrel), so as you can see, with a lot of hand waving, we get to about the same number.

Of course the inefficiency in extracting that energy means it will be more, but as another answer already points out: We hardly use oil for this, we probably use coal for this. You could probably look up the energy content for a kilogram of coal and do the math yourself.

MEGA that's the quickest smartest thing I've seen on this site.

‘We Will Never Speak Of This Again,’ Says Trump To Mohammed Bin Salman As They Dump Khashoggi’s Body Into New Jersey River
Yesterday 3:34pmSEE MORE: Donald Trump



DELANCO, NJ—Crouching on the river’s muddy banks as they carefully weighed down the journalist’s dismembered corpse with bricks, President Donald Trump informed Mohammed bin Salman Monday that they will never speak of this again as they dumped Jamal Khashoggi’s body into the Delaware River. “This never happened, alright?” Donald Trump told the Saudi crown prince at approximately 4:32 a.m., jumping out of sight as headlights passed on the nearby turnpike before tossing several garbage bags containing body parts into the river and watching the forms sink into the murky depths. “Who knows what took place tonight? I don’t, that’s for sure. We never met. We never spoke. Next time I see you, we just shake hands for the cameras and smile.” At press time, Trump and bin Salman were driving home in complete silence after burning the blanket that once covered Khashoggi’s body.

Hehe, the onion always has some fun satirical articles.

Just don't take them seriously. (Especially with the thread you made a week or so ago about the NRA...)

Yeah because the last admin was so hard on them.

Like it or not they will buy them from someone like China or Russia.

Donald Trump is Saudi Arabia’s ‘Bi†ch,’ Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard Says After Khashoggi Statement

By Ramsey Touchberry On 11/21/18 at 12:42 PM


Donald Trump Defends Saudi Arabia Despite Khashoggi Murder: 'It's All About America First'





U.S.
While receiving bipartisan backlash over a Tuesday statement in which he ignored the intelligence community’s assessment that Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered at the order of Saudi Arabia’s crown prince, President Donald Trump received what was perhaps the strongest rebuke from a sitting Democratic member of Congress on Wednesday.
“Hey [Donald Trump]: being Saudi Arabia’s Bi†ch is not ‘America First,’” Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii said on Twitter.

Hey @realdonaldtrump: being Saudi Arabia’s Bi†ch is not “America First.”
— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) November 21, 2018

Rather than condemning the Middle East country for the journalist’s murder, the president issued an extraordinary statement filled with exclamation points that praised Saudi Arabia’s business ties to the U.S., bashed other Middle East countries, boasted of the administration's "America First" policy and sided with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s claim that, contrary to U.S. intelligence officials, he was not involved in the murder of the journalist.



“King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman vigorously deny any knowledge of the planning or execution of the murder of Mr. Khashoggi,” Trump’s statement said. “Our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information, but it could very well be that the Crown Prince had knowledge of this tragic event–maybe he did and maybe he didn’t!”
Democratic and Republican lawmakers were swift to offer condemnation. Outgoing GOP Senator Bob Corker said he never thought he’d “see the day a White House would moonlight as a public relations firm for the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia” while GOP Senator Rand Paul said he was “pretty sure this statement is Saudi Arabia First, not America First. I’m also pretty sure John Bolton wrote it,” he added.
Even Trump-ally and Republican

Senator Lindsey Graham said it was “not in our national security interests to look the other way when it comes to the brutal murder” of Khashoggi.
The president's statement started by saying, "America First! The world is a very dangerous place!" Trump said he believed the "crime against Jamal Khashoggi was a terrible one, and one that our country does not condone." He also mentioned the U.S. sanctions against 17 Saudis involved in the killing, an involvement that Saudi Arabia originally denied but later admitted to.


But a few sentences later, the president appeared to contradict himself.


"We may never know all of the facts surrounding the murder of Mr. Jamal Khashoggi," Trump said, appearing to ignore the continuing investigation by U.S. intelligence agencies. "In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."


Speaking to reporters Tuesday on the White House lawn shortly after that statement, Trump said the U.S. was "with Saudi Arabia" and "we're staying with Saudi Arabia.


"This is about 'America first.' They're paying us $400 billion-plus to purchase and invest in our country," Trump said. "I'm not going to destroy the world economy, and I'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being foolish with Saudi Arabia."


He went on to claim that he has "no business whatsoever with Saudi Arabia." While the president may not own property there, Trump does have a long personal financial history with the Saudi government that equates to tens of millions of dollars.
Those transactions from the Saudis to Trump include a $20 million 282-foot yacht and a stake in his Plaza Hotel in New York to a billionaire Saudi Prince in 1991, the 45th floor of the Trump World Tower in 2001 for $12 million and a $270,000 payment from a Saudi public relations firm after a trip to Trump’s D.C. hotel.



When it began to appear in October that Khashoggi had been murdered, 11 Senate Democrats demanded that the president divulge his past and current financial ties to Saudi Arabia.

well you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the US that will disagree with you. safe to say most Americans will agree that Saudi Arabia is on the level of North Korea and is responsible for funding terrorism around the world, including 9/11.

15 of the 19 terrorist who carried out 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia.

15 of the 19 terrorist who carried out 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia.

Yeah but they weren't funded and supported by Saudi Arabian govt

They were just Saudi arabians.
