That's actually really fortunate, and is a big plus for solar polar.
Hot climates use more power during the day and in summer for aircon. Of course, this is when the sun is shining, and when your solar plant is generating.
Cold climates use more power during winter and night for heating. There's no sun, so your power plant isn't generating power when it's needed most.
I find it hard to believe that a capital intensive project like a nuclear power plant would have been economically viable in the 70s but isn't now. Of course this is assuming nuclear plants in the 70s were economically viable, and weren't subsidized.
To be economically viable basically means cheaper than base load coal, since both stations produce inflexible base load supply. Short run marginal cost is a far larger component in long run marginal costs for coal plants than nuclear plants.
So in a world of falling technology costs and increasing commodity prices, nuclear is going to become relatively cheaper.
Texas grid operating statistics are blocked to any non-american IP. This is boring stuff like average prices or sytem demand. It's certainly not sensitive, and every other market allows this stuff to be seen by anyone.
Luckily, I am smarter than any potential terrorist, and I have heard of proxies.
Doesn't that prove he wasn't so sure about his own results then?
If he was sure there was going to be an earthquake, then he'd put out the warning, get arrested, and be vindicated when the earthquake hit as he predicted.
Spamming is a long way down the list of crimes worthy of execution. If you're proposing we execute spammers, it's not a particularly big jump to get rid of everyone who does something wrong.
Also, is there a term to describe people are prone to use the 'strawman' phrase for every argument?
How can judges be Democrats? I thought there was a division between the judicial and executive branches of government in USA.
Is this perhaps referring to the judges' own personal voting habits? Is that relevant? Or is society so segregated into R and D supporters that it's a major factor in every case?

Solar thermal as base power? Sure, it's somewhat predictable, but doesn't output drop when you get a cloud?

So prison rape is approved by judges as a part of sentencing?
I guess we could have figured that one out, but it's nice to know for sure.
No

we'd tax what we want to destroy
Like cigarette smoking and violent videogames?
Can you elaborate on the differences between your proposal and what currently happens?
Seems likely the reporter misplaced a B with an M.
Oh and here's a somewhat related xkcd comic. http://xkcd.com/558/

Yet you still use iTunes and an iPod?
It seems slightly hypocritical to advise people not to buy from Apple and still support them yourself.
He's talking about once sea level has risen by 26 feet of course.
It's been done

Why didn't you just tell him where to shove it and walk away?

That's why.
I've always been taught that it's a literary no-no, but I'm open to persuasion.
What's the correct term for this practice? Apparently "running title" refers to something else.
at?
The fight against running titles into the body has been lost. If Ray Beckerman condones it, I give up.
Its JUST NO CHALLENGE IF YOU HIGHLIGHT THE MISTAKE.
Make the grammar police work a bit harder next time.
There's also an achievement for getting a post modded down.
Let's see if I can get two achievements for one post!

Yes! Just execute everyone who does something reprehensible. Truely, that would be a great world to live in.

Wouldn't applep.ie be more appropriate?
By that definition I learnt about it too. In this century no less.
Point taken.
