research cost. (at this moment research into nuclear gets more money, while solar and wind get WAY less, while steadily getting cheaper and cheaper than nuclear).
nuclear power is expensive. THAT is a problem. cost studies usually forget to mention some very expensive parts of nuclear power, like insurance, building cost, storage of waste cost, demolition cost,...
That's bullshit. the energy density is NOT the whole story: how about the weight of the whole system ? maybe you should see "who killed the electric car" electric cars are very viable to bring to the markethttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSBykAngDpY
from wind power is cheaper and, as a bonus : windmills are small, microgenerators: no dependency on the corporations. In fact, it's even better to skip hydrogen and use battery-powered vehicles. http://www.gizmag.com/go/6780/ The hydrogen-installation can be left at home to store electricity.
you're making more use of toxic chemicals for a product of lower quality. Yeah, that's why preventing waste is even better than recycling(or re-using).
Recycling is a good thing, but anyone who suggests recycling 100% of materials (in this century) doesn't have a very firm grip on reality. That isn't possible yet, but eventually, we should do that, resources like copper are limited.
it produced approximately 90 percent more energy than it consumed. So for 90 units of energy produced, it consumes 190 units of waste? So, that means it's got a efficiency of 47.3%.
Even given a VERY PRECISE specification of what you want a program to do Did you ever see such a thing ? Specs are never formulated EXACT. To add the the problem: they change during the execution of a project.
Please cite some proof for this claim. http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/8Comparison.htm I said : "That is a fake argument." in reply to "financial freedom (low taxes)", so maybe you should check the figures in that article about Average Household Debt, Average Household Savings, Poverty level; oh yeah, and my favorite : Percent of population covered by public health care.
financial freedom (low taxes) That is a fake argument. Higher taxes means you can have a better educational system, a better medical system (I pay as good as ZERO when I'm ill,have a broken leg or am hospitalized, and my pay continues to be paid),... the bills are eventually paid whether the cash comes directly from you OR they come from the taxes you pay. Higher taxes means broader shoulders carry more weight : THAT is essentially the difference. SO : your choice is corporate(republican) or slightly less corporate(democrats).
what is this veto thing exactly ? As I understand, you say the president can hold back a law unless congress has a 2/3 majority? This seems a rather large breech of the separation of powers(executive/legislative/juridic).
Still it's ridiculous, if you can buy product X from company Y, company Y shouldn't be imposing restrictions on what you do with it, and that includes reselling it. It's your property after all. A free market... yeah rite.
IMHO a larger problem than making the music is getting it to the public. What with the music-industry not liking non-mass-produced originally-sounding material, they just keep that kind of music OFF the air, and pushing the next boys-band or the next Britney Spears.
I doubt you'll find a lot of support for it in Honolulu or Miami: after all, those people are going to ask, what are they getting by footing Chicago's bill? And what about the Honolulu and Miami roads ? If you reason like this, everyone needs to pay for his small piece of street, and should erect a toll booth on both ends of it... I guess that's good for unemployed people, but not for the country in general.
if greenland was truly icefree, then sea-levels should have been 7 meters higher than what we have now. Can you then explain why the Netherlands and the northern part of Belgium had cities in the medieval times, on places that are less than 5 meters above sea-level ? And, yes we have buildings here from the 11th century.
yes, climate changes, but that doesn't mean we can't have an effect on that. In fact, it would be absurd to think we can't have an impact on our planet, we are changing the composition of the air, how can that NOT make an impact ?

and if it has magic, elves and space ships in it ?
VISTA upgrade layer : Is that part of the TCP/IP stack ?
wow, that's a horrible amount of power in one man's hands, even more so than i taught.

Isn't itunes doing just that ? Apple doesn't make the music don't they ?

I still think the iphone will sell a lot, apple is still riding the coolness factor they created with the ipod.

a lot of oil + a lot of O2 --> a lot of CO2 + a lot of energy
