Why to you trust journalist to be correct? are you new? How about the writer is making gross mistakes? Did that even begin to enter you hate filled brain? At any point did you think 'this sounds interesting,. but this writer make no sense, lets find another article on an actual decent science engineering site?
NO, you did not, you immediately went to 'fraud'.
The poster is NOT defending the article, he is talking about the technology.
It's great for data centers. IT's great for any hotel. It's great on military bases.
And in this case, you could just dump the water into a cities ware reclamation system via an open and wide reservoir. You could build a system that cools the water as it enters the public supply.
You need to compare it to other energy sources. It's not nearly as bad an petroleum extraction. And it has very little byproduct waste wont the panels are made. Also, the CO2 payback is not 6-7 years. it's 6 months to 1.8 years depending on several factors.
It doesn't work becasue your costs are way off. 5 cents a KWh? I pay about 12 cents a KWh and I live someplace that power is cheap. And you fail to take into account the water and hydrogen.
a US home uses an average of 903 kilowatthours (kWh) per month. Louisiana had the highest annual consumption at 15,046 kWh and Maine the lowest at 6,367 kWh.
I like how someone points out you are wrong, so you change your variables. Why are you so desperate to show this can't work? What pert of your brain puts energy into showing it doesn't work instead of actually looking up figures and to a real calculation?
Whistleblower has a very specific definition. Obama has not gone after any whitleblower that didn't leak nation security secrets. Obama has give whistleblower more protections.
This is about people who leaked national security issues. You may think they deserve the same protection, and that's fine, but when having the discussion, bear in mind it's a tiny subset of whistle blowers.
Finally, more people have publicly leaked nation security informaiton during the Obama Administrations then any other president.
It's 1/6 the cost, and does far less work. This article is another stupid attempt to make the US government look inefficient, when in fact it makes it look better when you look at the actual projects and missions.
hahahhahahaha.. Oh man. You are hilarious. Anyone who thinks American bureaucracy is over bearing and paralyzing clearly hasn't dealt with other government. My experience with the India's bureaucracy was that it is the worst. Sudden fees(Bribes*) , being shuffled to other family members fr more sudden fees*. It's realy bad.

" Nothing anyone says will ever convince me t"
so thinking is straight out with you then? Good to know, AC tough guy.
So you want one of these:

what ou are securing as much as it's about the secrity.
I it just access to text books? then who cares. Are we worried one to many of the kids might learn?
Writing them down is fine for what we re trying to protect.
That said, it's a good time to teach them how to make easy to remember hard to crack passwords.
"Mary_Had_A_Little_Lamb_2004"
As an example.
to the post above me.
Or better yet: Contact IBM and ask some questions.

They can build them now. Their is nothing magical about this. YOU could build one now. well, noy YOU, but anyone with some skills and common sense.
If the apartment has a common heating system, then yes, these would be great. Otherwise..no.

Really your complaint is pretty ignorant.
" on gimbals with sun tracking mechanisms, maybe not so much."
which would also be used on PV.
And yes, these mirrors would be cheaper to make then actual PV

No, they are NOT horrific for the environment.
It was written by a journalist who want to put his own 'touches' on it.

Like a solar concentrator? :)
"a cloudy bright day produces no power."
false.
"I love this idea. Until the cooling system fails."
I love this idea. Until the X system fails.
So you only want systems that can never fail?
"Forget about solar in Seattle, for instance."
well, that tells me you know nothing of solar, and should be ignored regarding this issue.

Snowden could have anonymously sent all the info to members of the press.
He seems to be a narcissistic egomaniac.

I would rather live free. Maybe focus on that instead of thinking up excuse to die for?
I wouldn't be quick to judge from these people. Much f what they are saying makew no sense.
Can't get a Job at Starbucks? Toy's R Us? Because of Obama?

" Took me all of two seconds to find out this is 423 sq ft,"
so..not a problem then? Other then the use of imperial, that is.
putting food down the drain makes it more expensive to process the water.
