Also, 538 has a version plugged in to their engine, which will propogate changes from one state to others based on their model. E.g., if North Carolina goes blue, the model suggests that it would be more likely for Ga to also go blue.

Kind of a cool tool they have there, but in the end the 538 model just shakes out to one simple rule this time around: Whomever wins Pennsylvania wins the election.

And that's looking very likely to be a Biden win, right now.

What happens in a tie?

Long answer: Vote in the House. Each state gets one vote, regardless of size. Making the congressional races really important.

Short answer: Blood in the streets.

I think he takes Maine loses Arizona. And somehow Garnder keeps his seat. I see a Minnesota and Michigan Senate seat pickups

Ok what green tech can currently relapse fossil fuels ? which one actually works 24/7 and can handle the loads ?

Idiocy is pushing tech that cant even replace the old one.



For obvious reasons like energy independence.

It depends on the target you're trying to replace:
Stationary electricity, heating, lighting etc: A combination of solar, wind and hydro. Pumped storage for solar and wind, which is basically a way of converting solar and wind energy into hydro energy.
It's a matter of building that infrastructure. Also, you would keep the current nuclear power plants, while you make the transition and nuclear power plants would probably be retained in areas where you do not have enough water for pumped storage.
Natural gas would not disappear quickly but you need less and less of it.
Vehicles: Batteries charged with the above sources. Granted, heavy vehicles, farm machinery and airplanes would be most likely still run on diesel/kerosene but you can help a bit by using as much biodiesel as possible.
I guess, eventually advanced fuel cells could power planes for long distance travel.

It’s 2020. We’re going to get stuck with this after 2 months of fighting over things in the courts

Currently? If we had it already we wouldn't need to invest in it. There is a ton of promising tech. China is killing us right now and we need to keep up to stay competitive.

Maine pretty much always votes democrat for president, except for the 2nd district. He'll get one vote from Maine, Biden will get the other 3.

Hes not banning fossil fuel. Do you understand what move away from means?

When my first girlfriend made the decision to move away from me it was a ban for all intents and purposes.

 

[ultramanhyata]

Like how cars and tractors replaced horses

And had we wisely stuck with horses we wouldn't be facing the current climate crisis.

So in the end, the oil industry is gone. At least we don't use a scary word like "ban" though.

Classic right-wing projection.

 

[Fawlty]

Like we needed more proof that you're a both-sider.

I've played around with this scenario and it pretty much requires Wisconsin going red no matter what....which is extremely unlikely given that Trump is actually further behind Biden there than in Michigan.

Dang dude, I agree with all of this, save for that maybe Iowa will go for Trump. And maybe Arizona for Beijing.

That's exactly mine I think, but I have him winning Nebraska-2 for 306
