And everyone was worried that the Trump administration wasn't going to go to work until Monday.

Hopefully he signs documents eliminating many of Obama's EOs by the end of the day.

Part of the divisiveness was treating people differently because of their sexual orientation. Just HOW is removing a web page "draining the swamp"?

Being Gay no longer makes one different. We fought for those rights and Gays need to acknowledge they now are just normal Americans.

That's all they ever wanted.

Having a VP on record as favoring the use of public funds for 'conversion therapy' doesn't exactly enforce that idea.

Not true. All that solar needs for sustained economic viability is to be able to operate fully loaded at less cost per kwh as the variable cost of fossil. And they are basically there. Recent long term contracts for large solar

*********************************

An August solar auction in Chile yielded a low bid of 2.91 cents per kWh, while an auction in September for the UAE led to a bid of 2.42 cents per kWh. In bidding on such contracts, solar developers are betting in part on solar prices continuing to fall in the future. The view is that even if a project is marginally profitable with current technology and prices, deflation across the supply chain will fix that problem going forward.

As this cost reaches down toware 2 cents per kwh the future for fossil is simply backup at minimal cost.

I'm not aware of the Constitution requiring people to alter their behavior to conform with the ideas of some old phart named Leviticus yet it's not uncommon for some people to try and make that BS into law.

Were heterosexuals ever discriminated against for no other reason than their sexual orientation?

Actually they did not take the pages down they simply changed the URL..

ObamaWhiteHouse.gov

And it would certainly seem to me that is appropriate. It is now Trump's Whitehouse.

Look up the NACA and see how much aeronautical knowledge the government researched and made available to the aircraft industry, you're wrong to assume it was the private sector that took all the risks and they benefited from the NACA's work.

Either way, Trump didn't do it and yeah, seems appropriate.
