You're right about the stadium, but his point is still valid. There are things that are far easier to do with group in Cities.
" I know a lot of people that live in New York and they never go to plays, theater, shows, concerts, or anything. " Yes, the 12 people you know in New York city don't do any of the stuff. There are hundreds of museums in New York. Many of them are very busy most of the time.
"For one thing, you could commute for that sort of thing" that raises the bar and make it less likely to go there.
" you can't be telling me you live in the city to go to music concerts and football games." err.. why not? I did.
Culture, efficiency, knowledge sharing. Yes, knowledge sharing happen in cities in ways that could never happen on the internet, and visa versa.
"It makes no sense." It makes a lot of sense, actually.
"Doesn't anyone want to listen to music without having to worry about whether the neighbors will object? Doesn't anyone want a dog or a garden or just some space that is theirs?" All of which is possible in a city
A city is safer. There have been many studies on this. What economic issues? saving money? making more money? What transportation issue? everything is within walking distance.
"just lots of stuff." The only issue is you have a perception bias and you haven't actually bothered to do even basic research to back your opinion.
-It's no less efficient then coal, and we manage to generate a lot of electricity from that. - So? - You use you excess energy during the day to pump water into a dam, that you then release for fast start.
And this doesn't have to be a dam. You could pump into water towers.
Why you think it' need to be on or the other is baffling to me.
really? go back and reread what you wrote. Do you really stand by that post?
1) The point is, its 28,000 birds in a place that has a lot less birds.
2) Maybe, but we don't know that until we get more info on the cause.
3) Wrong cost benefit. No one is saying don't build the plants. They are saying lets get more accurate data, and build plants that minimize bird death.
Of course you are assuming all birds are the same. Desert bird species tend to be lower in number, and there are more raptors. Comparing that to what cats catch, mostly a sparrow species, is fallacious thinking. In fact, we need a sparrow culling.
And no one is talking about giving up solar thermal. WHat the are saying is, how do we minimize bird death(raptor). Just like we have regulations to make cars safer for people.
and it's 30,000 not 40,000. or under 10.7 people per 100,000. down from 26.5 per 100,000 in 1969.
And since you haven't been paying attention, yes, people are also concerned with dams killing fish. This is why they built ways for the fish to get around a damn.
And an actual scientist did that experiment in 1973, and it worked.
CSPs can get over 1000 F. I've seen them direct mirror to a single spot in the air, and that spot lights you. Looks like a floats 'ball' of light. It does that because it's super heating the dust particle.
I use to drive by on fairly regularly when I live in Ca. One day I just drove in and talk to some people about it. They were very knowledgeable and nice
What kind of idiot doesn't know there are difference species of birds, with different population and think cats bringing down sparrows is the same as a Solar plant taking down raptors?
"I'll pass on the latest climate change panic..." Oh, that kind of idiot.

How do you know he is from Italy?
You don't want to let him get all single family homes made illegal? YOU FASCIST.

err.. why not? I did.
"we didn't live in anything like this density."
false.
" instinctually we have no bond with practically anyone in the city."
sounds like you have issues.
I don't live in a city, but walk across one everyday. I know many people by name. I know my neighbors by name.
My only problem with cities is noise.

SInce the vast majority of in use devices run and Linux variant, I'm not sure of you point.
Chrome OS and Android are different things that have a different focus.
" needs a major overhaul"
what needs top be overhauled?
Publishing apps for Linux is trivial? Or do you mean having a company that can hold you hand?
Sure you can. You'll get ill and then loose weight from the illness.
NO ONE thinks that. They are cleaner then coal/oil.
100% eff. would be 1 Kwh per meter. So, yes it would be enough.
And yes, it would take space, but we have PLENTY of empty land.
-It's no less efficient then coal, and we manage to generate a lot of electricity from that.
- So?

Yes, the vast amount of cat owners do let their cats out.
Cats eat rodents, and Sparrows. Sparrow growth in more then waht cats kill.
You are a stupid twit.
So clearly, we should just throw our hand in the air not not try to make it better.
did you forget a zero?

Because exactly zero chickens are killed by Solar furnaces.
yes, yes, I know its very hip to make shit up about Fast Food, but don't bother with the obvious retort.

I"ve seen that as well. I'd be hard pressed to call it flying! It would be like me jumping over a fence while flapping my arms uncontrollable.
No, not owning to radiation. Is indian Point leaking radioactive materials?
"You morons are batting 0.0000"
Almost every one has been within error bars. Who ever is telling you otherwise is a liar.

"I'll pass on the latest climate change panic..."
Oh, that kind of idiot.
But we don't want to, because that waste is actually fuel; which we should be using.
No it isn't.
But they don't kill a lot of raptors. A billion sparrows when there are 100 billion sparrows has less of an impact.
