Isn't that the purpose of voter registration? Your right to vote should be verified when you register and your registration card should be all the ID you need.
It's as if each of the States had its own language. What a CF that would be. I will admit though that I have trouble understanding some guys from Boston.
Herding Native Americans on to reservations is another form of internment camps, much earlier than anything in WW2. The slavery of Africans was another form of internment. It's been a pretty common thread throughout our history.
But I guess it's easier to denigrate every federal employee as a rich, do-nothing "busybody" who drives home to their "mansion" after "throwing the poor under the bus" than it is to see an obvious solution where the poor are healthier and more comfortable for less money than we're already putting out, and everyone breathes less soot.
Do you think those counties around DC are rich because of federal employees or could it be that all of the highly payed lobbyists and lawyers that DC attracts have something to do with it?
Coal has sat around so long that the climate and biological world forgot it existed. Re-exposing it to the active carbon cycle will cause some painful adjustments that will take thousands of years to play out.
It actually diminishes the power of peoples' legitimate right to vote when cheating is encouraged or allowed at the polls,
If there where any evidence that the kind of cheating* that voter ID laws would stop was anything more than so rare as to be almost nonexistent I'd be more sympathetic to them. From the evidence I've seen since 2000 there haven't been more than 10 or 15 cases across the whole US , most of them being spouses or other relatives trying to vote for a recently deceased or sick loved one.
Maybe you're just trolling but as someone who spent 23 days rowing a raft 270 miles through the bottom of the Grand Canyon I can say what is in the Grand Canyon is magic. My trip was over 19 months ago and I still can't think about it without "being" there.
Sometimes I think we'd be better off if Congress was selected by lottery from a list of registered voters. Yeah, we'd get some duds but at least they wouldn't be tied to their big campaign donors.
Iceland is by far the most profligate with electricity so much that I had to leave them off the graph below to avoid too much skewing.
Iceland has so much geothermal and hydro power they have electricity to burn and no place to use it but locally. Most of the resource has not been developed because there's no place to use it.* It's not reasonable to compare them to any other place. The closest might be New Zealand.
*They're in talks with the United Kingdom about building a high voltage DC link to transmit excess power there which would cause more development.
Small, local wind or solar power plants may be individually unreliable but many of them spread out over large areas are far less so. Solar cells still produce power when it's cloudy, just not as much as in full sunlight.
Vote every single one of those pricks out of office over the next two elections. The next president should meet a house and senate with no incumbents at all.
It feels good to say that but unless you force all of the lobbyists to be just as inexperienced as the incoming Congresspeople it could be a disaster.
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
Is it really all that surprising that well established web sites with well established update procedures are easily updated? A lot of it probably consists of collecting any updated information and running some script to update the web site. Someone is no doubt tasked with doing this as regular part of their job.
Better recheck your calculations. The lowest elevation in Kansas is 679 feet and maximum sea level rise if all of the great ice sheets were to melt is far less than 300 feet.
You don't think pictures and videos are real time data? There is a wealth of information that can be gleaned from them. If we compare the real world results to our expectations of what they would be they provide a reality check on the science that led to those expectations.

The one that's been getting to me lately is break vs. brake. That's more than a single letter that you might type unknowingly kind of error.
"The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want."
(I'm agnostic but I couldn't help throwing that in there. It works for a lot of people.)

The shoe fits, wear it.

And they're both corporatists.
I would love to know which gas / propane / electric company bought this rule.
It could have something to do with the fact that 7 states sued the EPA over it.
Oregon, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Vermont plus the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency contend the EPA's woodstove emissions standards violate the Clean Air Act, the state justice department said in a press release. The agency has also failed to review the appropriate limits for woodstove emissions for 25 years, despite a requirement to undertake such a review at least every eight years.
I'm not entirely against this rule, but I think it should be a local law not a national one.
I think that wood stove manufactures may prefer one national standard to 50 state standards or even more local standards.

*In person impersonation of another voter.
Woops before gas power there was steam and electricity.
And if you think a gasoline fire is bad you ought to see what happens when a steam boiler explodes.
Failure to invest in the future is really a plan for extinction.
Exactly.
Coming down from Mt. Bachelor in a 1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper Van I hit over 80 mph. Got the speeding ticket to prove it.
Pittsburgh ok but what's in the grand canyon?

Solar energy is a nearly ideal source for air conditioning power since generally when you need it the worst the Sun is shining brightly.

I call Clarke's first law on this:
When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

Better directional accuracy because of an improved detection system?
