rather than taking the Luddism approach they should first educate the people about the difference between fracking and disposal wells. they are not the same. the media never got it right, and they passed that ignorance on to the alarmist, who ran with it.
when problems happen it's not the fracking, but the completion of the well that was done wrong. that's when you cement the steel casing(pipe) to isolate your production zone from the other formations your drilled thru. they should be passing laws to require more strict control durring this phase. they should be hiring and training more inspectors. that they aren't paying attention until several steps later tells me this probably isn't regulated at all in these states.
I get that, but RATHER than CONSTANTLY falling back on AGENDAS and CAPLOCKS, why don't we work on finding new ways to reduce the power consumption of the refineries. It would be a win for everyone. New methods could be applied to existing refineries where possible. Personally i'm a big fan of windpower. wouldn't it be ironic if you powered a refinery with a combination of wind and solar? Even he says, "Canada would exploit the oil in its vast tar sands reserves 'regardless of what we do."
Rather holding your ideological breath, find a solution and make a difference.
I like the idea, but a scaled down version of one of the 4 engine configuration would work better. redundency in case of an engine loss and better directional control. maybe a Constellation class or Cheyenne class.
The statement, "According to Hansen 'Canada's tar sands, deposits of sand saturated with bitumen, contain twice the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by global oil use in our entire history. If we were to fully exploit this new oil source, and continue to burn our conventional oil, gas and coal supplies, concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere eventually would reach levels higher than in the Pliocene era, more than 2.5 million years ago, when sea level was at least 50 feet higher than it is now.' " strikes me as an odd wording.
when fuel/gas reaches the pump it's content and octane are tightly controlled. the bitumen will have been removed as part of the refining process. this is already being done. the alowable sulfur content was tightened just a few years ago. so the fuel being burned in cars will produce exactly the same amount of carbon as any other fuel. if there is an issue then it needs to be tighter control at the refineries.
I know the feeling, but if he is a thief to begin with, don't you think he's probably using someone else's internet access? the IP address is most likely that of a neighbor.
the paradox is that the same people who are critical of this guy for pushing his views on others, are the same ones who push their views on others here at/.

A Professor of mine used to say, "I'm not going to go over the edge, i just enjoy the view".
so was Space Command. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045439/
btw, guess who was in the original?
either way, i hope it works out. even B scifi beats ghost hunting and wrestling.
Cool, but is there a law to tell if they are astro-turfing?
you're closer than most, thank you.

do what everyone else does.
buy a jamming truck from the russians.

since they still sell 2600 it'smore likely it has something do do with this:

big surprise
it was competing with Chuck Norris.
it's not a German problem, it's everyone's problem. it can happen anywhere.

the assumption that it's the Germans who were the problem is no different than blaming the Jews to begin with.
it's just a different tribalism.
so what happens when the bacteria start living in our systems. do we become immune to the toxins too?
If the Ice is down in the shadows of the polar craters, why do you power it with solar cells?
shouldn't you atleast set up rovers in pairs so one is on the rim(in the light) collecting energy and the other down in the hole doing the work?
Are there any exploits for Roku, AppleTV, LG, and others?
wasn't there a Spanish ship that was found but had to have it's cargo returned to Spain because it was in the service of the Spanish government?
Would this fall under the same clause?
Agreed but it's not as likely to get grant money or published
I know the feeling, but if he is a thief to begin with, don't you think he's probably using someone else's internet access?
the IP address is most likely that of a neighbor.
still it's no excuse for the cops to do nothing.
Thanks for the link, but I still think it's a bit of a stretch.
a little karma in the world.
very nice.
is thinking WOW, that's Awesome!
the other half is thinking, April 1st is coming up.
I have no interest in driver-less cars, but at least they have an R&D dept and are trying things.
don't they also have their hands in solar power and wind farms?
as for management killing a company, that isn't anything new.
lots of prior art.
isn't Yahoo owned by a Chinese company? or did that sale not go through?
I hadn't heard of an Apple/NSA connection, but wouldn't be surprised.
I don't boot into windows often, but when i do, i use Windows 7.
it's not so bad.
lol, no problem with that either.

even i thought that was funny +1
