The coal mining activity ended in 1884, when a labor dispute at the mine ended with a group of miners sending a burning coal car into the mine, igniting the coal.
Wow. Sounds like these miners really should have read the Centralia page. Er, wait...
Consider that a single cubic meter of granite contains thorium and uranium with the energy equivalent of ~500 barrels of oil, giving granite almost 100x the energy density of oil.
This is just screaming out for a [citation needed]. I would assume that getting it out of the rock, even if this is the case, probably uses up 80x's worth of the profit or something.
Oh, you were talking about the deorbiting happening repeatedly. That was kind of intentionally misrepresenting the issue as we were only talking about doing it once in the first place, but whatever.
It's rather unfortunate though that as (presumably) the risk of incident approaches 1, so also does the value of purposely not guarding against it increase.
Trying to keep us dependent on a fuel supply that is being steadily exhausted when alternatives exist is objectively bad. So yes, I'd be opposed to these actions if it were a Democrat doing it, too.
Democrats sell us out to media conglomerations. Republicans sell us out to oil barons. Vote third party.
There's also the Supreme Court making decisions lately that say things that are clearly unconstitutional, aren't. So what I'm clearly implying is that your definition of "capital" is double-plus ungood.
I suppose if it was a daily dose that kept you youthful, the drug companies would be shitting their pants in delight at being able to sell it to an ever-growing number of people, too.
She actually got bricked into a house and lived for another 4 years after that. Lived to be 54, which was pretty good for the 1500s, wasn't it? Unless you were thinking of someone else.
Not that I would really want to purposely deny the opportunity to anyone, but I think Doctor Who for once nails it on the head with, "900 years is too old." After observing all the foolishness of humans for even half that long, how much optimism do you think you'd still have?
While I won't outright dismiss your viewpoint, I would point out that "come up to Mass and pledge our rifles if need be" is the definition of vigilantism as you've framed it and guaranteed to end up in the lynching of an innocent person sooner or later.
You're working on the assumption that blaming the victim is always unjustified. We seem to suffer a lot from "that's a fallacy! BOOM--conversation over, you lost, instant Godwin!" around here instead of actually listening to the argument for five fucking seconds.
Knee-jerk pop psychology. Crack out the book of fallacies--there's one in here for everything!:D

So every time we ever complain about an issue with political connections, we have to mention that we hate another thing across the isle?
Meh, okay. Doesn't sound too hard to do.
Time to get cracking on that spaceship to Alpha Centauri.
Some of us are able to see beyond "what gives me the absolute lowest price and fuck everything and everyone else."
Too bad Objectivism doesn't scale, huh?
It still annoys me that she managed to get the word "objective" rammed into that name. Gah.
Well then we might as well kiss our asses goodbye and crank up our coal burning to 14 then (11 isn't enough), right? Fuck everything!!

Since they're also decommissioning all their nuclear plants, I'd be interested to hear what they're planning to use. Hydro and solar?

NO U
Well if that's the definition, we could just use "serendipity" to describe it with a word people actually know. Added bonus of not being a Godwin.

About $180,000 shot directly into the bloodstream, actually. Just ask Magic Johnson.

And with a worn-out mind? How good is your quality of life with advanced Alzheimer's?
It's not a dichotomy, and he's being pragmatic. Saying "some point in the future" doesn't help ME if I'm already 80. Optimism doesn't pay the bills.
Now *that's* a disturbing picture.
I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even five hundred would be pretty nice.
Uggh...hang on, the Spartans are invading again. It's 2750; you'd think they'd give it a rest.
