Idiot. Volcanos spit stuff OUT.
Now, a deep sea trench in a subduction zone might work out. Suck the waste back to the Earth's core where it truly is not a problem.
Um, I think you missed the point. The important number is the amount of energy used for ICE transport. The number and capacity of brand x electric vehicle does not matter.
I'm supposed to be working now so I won't go and look this up, but I suspect that 30% of the energy content of our transport fuel far outstripps all "alternative" generation capacity. IIRC, an article in the IEEE Spectrum way back in 1996 stated that replacing the average energy flux into gas tanks in the greater L.A. basin on a typical Friday afternoon would require about 100x the output of the Hoover Dam.
Polywell fusion anyone?
Sorry about the line breaks, don't know why they are not showing up correctly.
I keep wishing for a hands-free mouse. Taping electrodes to your face every day at work--won't, but glasses (or something using your webcam) might. Anyone seen something like this?
Tattoos are so... analog. Just get all of math encoded on a chip and have that embedded. Make sure it has an RF interface, like the modern ID tags for pets, and someday you will be able to read it with your phone or whatever. You could be the first person with their own brain-coprocessor.
I was wondering the same thing. Do the ROHS rules take into account how a 'bad' substance like lead is bound to other materials? For example, is something in an inert, vitreous blob OK?
Those of us who believe we have the right to self defence, and that the single most effective class of tools for that purpose (i.e., firearms) should not be restricted, have been fighting this sort of thing for over a century now. "For the children" is the rallying cry of the tyrant.

I own a Roku but not a game console. When my CRT finally dies, I will expect my next TV to do its own streaming.
Amen. And the fact it was Jimmy Carter who told us we HAD to change.
YIKES!! $10,000. Again... $20 webcam sounds better.
