Bullshit. Let's take, for example a country that has invested in renewables : Germany Germany has now a third and growing of yearly electrical production from renewables. Since 10 years, germany cuts back on nuke and on fossil based electricity. That is with not much sun, and with no big 3000km cables laid, just political will. But that's probably 80 million of tree huggers.
The alternative being labview, it seems the project is mainly about automation/instrumentation. Performance is mostly irrelevant for these kind of projects. Flexibility, robustness, simplicity, simple learning curve are the important things because often, your small amount of users are also looking or even contributing to the code.
Using plain C(++) for that kind of slow tasks with the train wreck that the Labview interfaces are, results in disaster, as soon as the requirements change often and you try to chase a moving target with a jackhammer.
I'll say from experience that python is much more adapted, and produces much cleaner code, provided some discipline.
"I think we need to send robotic machines to Mars to build railways to bring the ice to the regions where the cold is a bit less extreme. Hey, if the Martians won't do it, why not us?"

Obligatory XKCD http://xkcd.com/681_large/ It's not the same. But starting off the moon spares you only some 20% energy. So i't probably not worth the trouble of setting up an extremely complex factory up there, even if that 20% gets worse due to the rocket equations.
"Former Cisco CEO John Chambers says the US is the only major country without a proper digital agenda "
That's simply plain wrong. The USA has a well defined digital agenda it goes by, whatever the collateral problems this generates. And this agenda is contained in a simple sentence : "We Try To Collect Everything And Hang On To It Forever"

>> You're confusing all the Windows on here .. :)
Don't care, this is a Linux article
in the same time, we could get rid of summer/winter time change
HFT Kills.
Yes, it's sad.
>> HFT needs fast pipes, but doesn't really need a lot of computation.
HFT needs short pipes, not really fast pipes.
Yep.
And France gets large amount of peak supply from Germany.
Netto on a year is close to zero.
Does it run Linux ?
Bullshit.

If morons don't do it, Chinese manufacturers will do the IOT for you

Yeah. Coal or Nuke are the only options. Yep, right.
No. If the Headline is a question, the response is an obvious "No."
In this case, it's a really obvious "No."
10 people 24/7 amounts to 34 people at full working time.
What are those 34 people working for again ?
The USA usually does not bomb things inside UK.
But they thought about it.
Never say never.
>>Honestly, if any entity literally ran out of money and could no longer afford an enforcement action and simply stopped for budgetary....
it's not a law enforcement action, it's an harassment action.
Use Nukes.
Non lethal my ass.
Guns are lethal.

Sorry, I forgot to correct that other error...
"I think we need to send robotic machines to Mars to build railways to bring the ice to the more habitable regions. Hey, if the Martians won't do it, why not us?"
Corrected that for you.
No. Cows cannot say MOO on Phobos, there is no atmosphere there. So shut up :)

I agree.
Just use Linux.
