Your fucking cell phone won't work for shit in an emergency. Neither will your VoIP phone. Land lines will be rock solid. (Of course now, even the remaining land lines are digitized at the back end, so if that happens to be within the emergency zone, they'll be fucked too.)
Priuses were the lowest cost to own? Only if you factored in resale value, and planned to sell it within a year or two. That market can't sustain itself.
FUD? You don't live in California, I take it. And the capacity of the grid is not fixed - it's based on the number of fucking power plants running at any given time. Capacity not needed? Prices go down. Prices go down a lot? Shut down some power plants. If everyone had plug-in electrics, we'd be fucking running at full capacity non-stop. That's a lot more coal being burned. I'd also love to be in one of those wildfires in California, getting evacuated at 3 AM after the fucking power's been out for 2 days, only to have my car die after 5 minutes on the freeway. We can not support widespread plug-in hybrids. The infrastructure can't take the demand. The capacity is there - we can keep burning coal like morons, but the infrastructure can't handle it.
A 40 year old fridge in the garage will be very very efficient by virtue of only being opened when you need to move stuff to the main fridge in the house. This is the typical scenario.
Objectively better light? So there was a law that dictated what kind of light light bulbs should put out? The quality of light from a light bulb is SUBJECTIVE, dipshit. And CFLs look like blue, flickering, ASS.
Lies? Tell me where lithium ion batteries come from. Tell me what happens when they're dead. Tell me how long it would take a Prius owner to recoup the initial cost difference through saving money on gas. Tell me how long the average Prius owner keeps their car. Tell me where the majority of our electricity comes from. Tell me that California would be able to support everyone having a plug-in electric / plug-in hybrid anywhere in the next 100 fucking years.
You're a fucking moron if you can't see the simple truths in front of you. Nothing has been debunked, you've just been spoon fed some bullshit and you liked the taste.
"Citation needed" is fucking retarded. Go learn something, instead of having incorrect, biased, uninformed shit handed to you on wikipedia.
Solar cells? The manufacturing process negates any benefit they could ever provide in terms of the environment. What are they made out of? And how? Go learn something.
Wind turbines require constant oiling and maintenance, and they aren't viable for most places. The benefits simply aren't worth the expense.
A smart power grid would be great. But remember, you've got politics and corporations to deal with. They'll never let go of their vice grip on your wallet. You can't do anything until you fix that.
People are morons. They bitch about infrastructure yet they move to VoIP and rip out the copper land lines.
We push hybrid cars that cost more to produce (in terms of money and environmental impact) than old regular cars, and the difference will never be made up during the life of the car.
We want plugin electrics despite the fact that they'll put a huge strain on the already-fucked electrical grid, and will be ultimately be supplied by burning coal.
We have rebate programs to replace your fridge that's been working for 40 years with a new one that will be nicer to the environment but need to be replaced in 3 years.
We push shitty shitty light bulbs down your throat when there's not a damned thing wrong with the current ones.
Fuck you dipshit. Hammies saved the day in many cases, both helping out with relaying official emergency communications and by relaying non emergence communications ("tell my wife I'm here and I'm safe with the kids").
And your system is unstable. And your fans are running more. And your PSU has to work harder to keep those capacitors on your mobo full as they wobble. And what about your other frequencies?
Hiding behind encryption schemes is like a kid hiding in his little box fort, taunting people. Eventually someone goes over and knocks down his fort and smacks him up a bit.
I believe there's an episode of Family Guy where Stewie does this with cereal boxes, and Brian knocks it down after getting annoyed. It's a pre-cancellation episode, so it's okay to reference it.
My new app will let you know whenever any of your fiends are freed from prison.
Keep tabs on your enemies and know when to fear for your life! Get alerts for end-of-sentence release, parole and work-release programs, prison transfers, breakouts, and death.
FiendFreed can mean the difference between life and death, and you'll never have to consider witness protection again!
The democrats and Obama were the ones "betting all of the... political hay on "the economy is going to fall apart"" back during the election.
Now you say it's not true? Did His Grace, Obama save us all?
"In the end, you're betting against the American Worker, good luck with that." L O L . Shit son. The same American workers who are pissed off at being over taxed and under represented? The same ones who are bitching and moaning against Obama's ideas on "health reform", as he fucking shoves them down the country's throat? Or are you talking about the unions? Those oh-so-productive lazy fucks who caused 2/3 of the auto industry to fail.
It's a nice little feel-good phrase though, isn't it? "Never bet against the American worker!" Probably does well in speeches and at rallies. But the fact is the American worker is fed up with all the bullshit.
Housing and oil have "corrected"? We got a report last week that said 50% of fucking mortgages were under water, dipshit. New home sales may be up, but defaults and foreclosures are still climbing.
Missed 10% unemployment? Gee, where were you when we passed it? Under a rock?
Stimulus to create new jobs? Son, here's a basic fucking lesson in economics: You can't create jobs by moving money around. You can only move jobs around. To create a job you need to grow the economy. That means production needs to increase, demand needs to increase, and spendable income needs to increase. Taxing the people for a "stimulus" plan (and just to be clear, printing new money is WORSE than taxing the people directly!) just moves money around. If people have less disposable income, they spend less, and businesses shrink and shut down. You lose jobs.
You can NOT create jobs by throwing money around. All you're doing is moving jobs around.
You like regulations? You'll LOVE the democrats and their new leader!
Forcing banks to hand out mortgage loans to poor people who can't afford to pay them back? Forcing banks to take bail out money when they don't need it, in order to hide the failing banks from the public? Mr. Dictator firing the CEO of a private company?
You can throw YOUR shit and misinformation all you want, but you're a fucking moron if you think EITHER party gives a shit about you.
As to Bush vs. Obama, it seems like Obama took "can't be worse than Bush" as a challenge.
I blame all of you fucktards who didn't vote for Ron Paul.

Buy some eyes.
They're blue and they flicker.
It's maddening.
Honestly, neither Quake nor iD have been relevant for nearly a decade now.
Russia made Tetris.
Russia wins.
That's not an objective test.
People will see the bulbs in their houses.
And anyone who doesn't notice the blue hue or the flickering is simply blind.

You can't hide your identity from me, Captain Obvious!
Fuck you dipshit.

Measure at the wall or STFU.
And your system is unstable.
And your fans are running more.
And your PSU has to work harder to keep those capacitors on your mobo full as they wobble.
And what about your other frequencies?
Measure it from the wall or STFU.
Worst case is not a linear increase in power usage, dipshit.
You've got to crank up your voltages to get that high as well.
Then your fans run more.
It adds up fast.
Inalienable rights being alienated.

Housing prices have not corrected themselves.
Look at California. Still listing those "$500,000" mobile units in Santa Barbara.
The issue can't be fixed until all those people who can't pay off their mortgages are physically OUT OF THOSE HOUSES.
Growing the economy can be done in three ways:
Finding/exploiting new physical resources
Increasing productivity
Moving liquid assets (people buying shit they can AFFORD)
Yes, "buying" shit with a credit card when you can't afford it outright is absolutely retarded, and I don't fucking consider that "buying".
I fucking HATE how Google ignores my quotes.
If I put something in quotes, then I mean EXACTLY that.
There aren't enough Os in LOOOOOOOOOL.

Just like Google!
Yeah, because the server sure asks for my SSL certificate each time I order crap online, right?
You can't trust SHIT if it comes from the client.
You can NEVER verify who or where it came from, or how it was generated.
Yeah, and the trend is shitty sites with shitty security and shitty content and shitty shit.
