Turbines in a river - not exactly a new idea
The web site you mentioned is rather bereft of details
I have done a couple of basic calcs and have come up with each generator being able to generate roughly 250 watts (1 metre turbine, 5kph river and 50% efficiency)
250 watts continuous for a whole year is a bit over 2MWh, to get 2TWh will require nearly a million of these things in rivers. No wonder the site was bereft of details
I can imagine the NIMBY arguments being rather loud when it comes to rivers littered with these things
Ahh memories
I remember seeing that photo and gasping at how much larger MIR was compared to Skylab
There were a lot of details about Skylab in the press but very little details about MIR for some strange reason.
Surely if they have broken a beta version, they would be better to wait until a few weeks after the production version is released and thus maximise it's usefulness.
Telling everyone also tells Apple where the weakness lies and beta is relatively easy to fix
Fox News? Sounds a little too much like The Republicans to me. I don't have any interest in listening to what a bunch of terrorist sympathizing talking heads have to say.
OMG, That sounded to bad to be true so I had to google it
I have never heard of that story and I wish I hadn't searched it.
Heck, I wish it went to Goatse or something
Have you ever seen anyone on Speed? They are maniacs
While people high on Downers might not be aggressive, they most certainly are when they are going through withdrawal.
Questing takes on a whole new meaning for people who need to get high again.
It is becoming obligatory that half the news stories have half arsed irrelevant comments from Facebook or Twitter
Unfortunately I suspect our journalists will find a way around minor obstructions like the French promotion laws.
Your lack of cynicism is awe inspiring
Which story would sell more papers
"North Koreans get scholarship to study computing abroad" or "North Korean CyberWarriors being train abroad"
Only information that agrees with a predetermined position is useful (in politics anyway)
Case in point, the information from defectors that formed the Iraqi National Congress.
All the information was in complete disagreement with the UN weapons Inspections - Guess which group was denigrated?
yep the one that disagreed with the predetermined position
There are many other examples I could choose (creationism anyone)
Basically, if you don't know the underlying reason for a statement, you have no chance of determining the probability of truth
My bias is simple, I hate the term cyberwarrior
(Cyber anything = tabloid shit = don't trust)

Sounds more like a stupid chain letter to me

Defector says something host country wants to hear
Who would of thought such a thing would happen? . .
