It'd be better to go around playing sounds of animals that could be there but probably have gone extinct. Watch them go around looking for tigers, birds, or whatever animal you choose. Even better as you go around placing the devices plant the occasional footprint or feather just to really convince them.
Why should you think strangers should die? I didn't say kill the people you know for saying something. I said they should be the first ones to be killed if it gets implemented. There's a huge difference.
It's like a politician who's all for going to war with another country. They might feel differently if their child or other close blood relative had a high probability of being killed because the war started.
There should be a law that says that anyone that proposes removing (killing) people as a solution to climate change then the first ones in line to be removed should be their family and friends.
It doesn't use energy from some other source. Geothermal heat pumps use either vertical holes drilled into the ground or large loops of pipe that are buried under the ground deep enough so that the temperature is constant. When you want to heat your house cool liquid is sent through the pipes and draws heat from the ground. To cool your house warm liquid is passed through the pipes. There is no other energy added or removed from the ground.
Yes, the geothermal energy originally mentioned is energy from the Earth's core but I wanted to point out that it's not the only source.
It's amazing how parents knew anything that was going on in the school before computers and cell phones were introduces. It's almost as if they had to talk to their child or something. Maybe even the teacher once and a while. Thank goodness technology has put an end to that!
So you've dumped your investments from the US too as they've been moving in the wrong direction on human rights these past couple of years. (Well more than that but it's sped up specifically these past two years.)
You can use geothermal heat pump to heat/cool a building and it's much more efficient than using electrical, natural gas, or other types heating. Those involve creating the heat by burning a fossil fuel or electrical resistance. Using a heat pump the electricity is being used to transfer the heat from one location to another. In the case of heating a building it takes heat from the ground and brings it to the building. When you want to cool the building the process is reversed. It can also be used to heat water.
Geothermal heat pumps can be used in most places as they don't require the extreme temperatures that are used to create electricity. I looked into it for my house and the only reason I didn't go for it was the cost (about 5X the installation cost of natural gas) and I would have saved between $1000 and $1500 a year. It would have involved drilling four or five holes up to 1000' deep. Right now it's an option for people that don't already have a natural gas connection or one easy to connect. Some condo towers in my city use this system. So much energy would be saved if all towers were forced to use this system. If houses were the prices would come down because the manufacturers could scale production up.
There are also air source heat pumps but in my part of the world you need to install an electric backup for the days that are too cold to extract any heat from the air. As it looks just like an air conditioner my neighbours would definitely be wondering why I'd be running the A/C in the middle of winter!
You're essentially asking if a politician thought about the consequences of the legislation that they voted for. They barely get time to read what they're voting for, let alone think about it.
Companies look at the work that needs to get done, the money they have, they billing they expect and from there decide how much manpower they need. These companies are not going to hire people to sit on their thumbs doing nothing. So if they have to much manpower, they layoff.
I just have to ask if you were able to keep a straight face when you wrote this or did you just leave college?
Somewhere along the chain of command, usually multiple levels, a managers power and/or renumeration depends on the number of projects or people that report to them. This leads to a survival of the fittest environment within the company with each manager looking to scoop up the next upcoming project along with the associated resources. Or, as in one company I was contracting at, where the number of people reporting to a manager determined their level, the manager just went out and hired butts to put on seats in order to give himself a promotion. Never mind thane of the new hires was a fresh out of university software engineer who couldn't actually turn on the computer when I asker them to. (So I guess you have done that step with the network people that I need done. Thanks.)
And groupings of people get turned into silos where you don't want the system administrator to look at the networking stuff or the database stuff because it might step on their toes even though it might save them some time and effort.
Mail volumes haven't dropped because of the raise in prices. They've dropped because of technology. The drop in mail volume and requirements for the pensions is driving the rise in stamp prices.
You see this with the electricity industry when people put solar panels on their roofs, at least in some areas. The power company makes it so that the home owner is better off adding batteries and cutting the power cable. In response to the lost revenue the power company increases rates which makes more people think it's a good idea to install panels and batteries. It just ends up being a death spiral.
It's also happening with public transit in some places including my city. They keep raising the fares and insist that the drop in ridership is due to the economy. Meanwhile with every increase more people decide to switch from the bus and go back to their car for the daily commute.
In addition to it being peak Apple there is a backlash against things American since Trump decided to start his winnable trade war with China. The iPhone is no longer the status symbol it was six months ago. The Chinese brands, which typically use Android, are seeing a huge surge of interest, especially Huawei.
It wasn't that long ago that the US Government came out with the "report" that Huawei's telecom gear had backdoors in it but they couldn't say what it was. So far Germany has only come out and called their bluff. The other day Apple comes out with a warning about China and Trump's Trade War impacting their upcoming results. So now the White House comes out with a vague statement about China stealing Apple's technology. This is all a smokescreen to get you to forget about the damage that the trade war is causing but there's going to be a bunch of other companies with disappointing financial reports soon because Trump doesn't know the first thing about economics.
All that is being banned is government support of coal mines. If a billionaire wanted to run a money losing coal mine they are more than welcome to. They just won't get any help from the government to keep it open like they would have up to today (2018/12/31).
Closing mines doesn't mean anything, except for impacting the people working there and in the town nearby. The power plants will just get the coal from the mines that are profitable. When the EU is closing the coal fired power plants and replacing them with something that generates fewer emissions then they'll see the reductions that they are seeking.
It has do to with emissions because it depends on how the base load power is generated.
In Ontario it would lead to a lowering of emissions because base load is generated by nuclear and hydro. Someone with a battery would be charging the battery with base load electricity and using it during the peak times when gas fired generating plants come online to pick up the extra demand.
In many places in the US base load is still being met with fossil fuel. If you use your battery during the afternoon peak price when it's possible that solar and wind are feeding the grid then you have increased the emissions by using the battery.
In both cases you are saving money but only in one are you reducing emissions.
Chinese firms will ship tech to countries in defiance of a US trade embargo.
It's almost as if they are from a country that isn't the United States! How dare a company in another country not follow an American law. It's unfathomable!

Depends if they use Hollywood accounting or real world accounting.

I'll spend 7 hours in the tin can so I can spend more time of my vacation actually doing my vacation and not travelling there and back.
But monitors are not TVs. If you look for televisions on there they go up to 85" with the associated astronomical high price.
It's in 8K video now?

But you won't have engineers exceeding the speed limit causing the train to derail such as this one where the train was going 80 mph in a 30 mph zone.
