Look around your city for a recycling company. Find out what they recycle and if they will pay you for bringing some in. Consider they have been operating happily on plain-old free-market capitalism for decades. That's a good sign of workable recycling.
Government recycling requires electronic monitoring and fines to be workable?
All the trouble to get oil. Ship it across the world (takes more oil). Make a water bottle (takes even more oil). Ship water bottle across country (takes even more oil). Fill bottle with piddly amount of water. Ship water bottle across a state or two (takes even more water). You drink it in 60 seconds and discard it into the landfill with no thought whatsoever.
This doesn't seem fucked up to you?
Now follow the sheet of office paper in a school: Cut down a forest....
1: Former high school football star Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) has only been on the force for a short while. 2: He's assigned to an anti-drug unit in the Rampart Division of the LAPD 3: He's shown the ropes by Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (Oscar winner Denzel Washington). 4: Hoyt will lose his innocence during the course of this single day because of what Alonzo exposes him to. 5:They encounter various gangstas, victims, dealers, snitches, and "civilians." 5: Along the way, we learn more about Alonzo's fall from grace, his morally dubious private life, and his explosive secret plan that involves Jake.
Yeah. In this corner, weighing in at "I guess it *might* not be impossible", is the Solar Storm theory.
And in this corner, weighing in at 100% certainty are the tag-team of cigarette-smoking russians, lightning, campfires, accidents, and deliberate arson.
Coal plants benefit from massive influxes of cheap fuel that is cheap to convert to electricity. The margins are high because the energy was built up on natures time, not company's dime. Pollution is cheap, for the polluter.
Have you ever run the numbers on a PV array for your house? I did. If there were no government subsidies, the system would pay for itself 5 years after I had to replace the entire thing.
Granted, a nation buying in bulk can probably get a good discount. But these guys are basically using money from everywhere else, taking property from it's own citizens, and holding back the rest of the European economy to do it.
Or will it pay for itself by the time it all has to be replaced? PV cells don't last for ever. Windmill Generators can essentially, with enough upkeep. Will it pay for the army of maintainers to be paid, cover workmans comp, cover their retirement plans?
I'd like to hope so....I just doubt it will be an actual "investment" in the fiduciary sense. Energy independence is a laudable goal, but not always a good financial investment.
Cryassing about Bush on slashdot isn't exactly a sign of courage.
Telling all your fellow Utahn's that most of Bush's Patriot act was the antithesis of Liberty and Limited Governance...which i did repeatedly...is a little bit better.
Constantly having to tell my friends they totally miss the core of the Net Neutrality issue (because Limbaugh has them all fucked up on it)....oh jeez.
Being the only person in my workplaces who: argues things like AGW is at least possible; encourages recycling and xeriscaping; and doesn't have 8 kids? All this and I still believe in limited government and the right of property? I'd really like to choke the ever-living shit out of you.

Wanna see if a type of recycling is profitable?

Think about rabies.
Now think what would happen if rabid humans were like rabid dogs.
Weird, raBIES and zomBIES are even spelled alike!
The zompocalypse is just a mutation away.
No, we did that with our copies of sales receipts.
You used them already? Hmm...well this is embarrassing.
The signals are too weak and the data is too obscure
Both of which are solvable with ingenuity, time, work, and people. Some things both-colored hats have in ample supply.
It seems you are talking about spot reduction, which has been repeatedly demonstrated and documented to be false.
Ab workouts don't burn more fat from the abdominal region than any other region or exercise.
Would be nice if they advertised something more like a CIR.
Did you assassinate humor in this future you come from?
Better yet:
An Amber-Alert-like system where random citizens can disable your car with a single phone call.
Yep. That's exactly what I was saying: no police officer in the world has ever done anything wrong.
Or: i was enjoying the "make up a scenario" game.
Ooh! I got a scenario:
1: Former high school football star Jake Hoyt (Ethan Hawke) has only been on the force for a short while.
2: He's assigned to an anti-drug unit in the Rampart Division of the LAPD
3: He's shown the ropes by Detective Sergeant Alonzo Harris (Oscar winner Denzel Washington).
4: Hoyt will lose his innocence during the course of this single day because of what Alonzo exposes him to.
5:They encounter various gangstas, victims, dealers, snitches, and "civilians."
5: Along the way, we learn more about Alonzo's fall from grace, his morally dubious private life, and his explosive secret plan that involves Jake.
And all the federal bailouts of city and county governments?
plenty of police departments do this. at least facebook saves the taxpayer on hosting.

assignment or equality?

we should have trademarked "Internet".
Then, make it a condition of selling "Internet" be that it is neutral.
People can make dirty net deals all they want, but have to sell it as "AOL" or "Compuserve".
Well, the part about her being a hot piece of ass are true.
Actually, the US Government was a limited social contract to secure Life, Liberty, and Property.
....when you use taxpayer funds to bail out UPS and the Teamsters Union.
All morality is relative.
The moral thing to do...
Thanks for illustrating my first point.
And all the moral relativists come out of the woodwork to suddenly embrace right and wrong.
Companies don't go to heaven. So companies get NO credit for doing what is right. They only get credit for doing what is necessary to survive.
Vote with your dollars...but people will still buy whatever product they like best.
What's interesting is that someone has a job where they can just go grab the latest and greatest intel chip whenever they want to, for free.
