So you will probably want a database and you also mentioned requirements suited to a GIS. I would set up PostGIS. PostGIS is Postgresql with an add-on for assisting in the storage of geographic elements. And it's all open source! GIS used to be a messy prospect with lots of files in different formats in lots of directories. Now that PostGIS has arrived, you can store all of your data in the database. This is nice because you have the power of a relational database to manage what you can view. You can do queries that result in Maps. Others have mentioned QGIS. QGIS plays nicely with PostGIS.
You can start with the database, add in QGIS and later if you need to create a website you can add on open source Leaflet which lets you create interactive maps using JavaScript.
Homework:
1. How many acre years of soy does it take to provide enough fuel for a 777 at normal gross weight to fly across the US.
2. How many people would have been fed for a day instead?
Looks like Sweden and Finland are trying to create demand for electric vehicles. The combined population of those two countries is ~15 million. This would be great for increasing demand for batteries that work well in cold weather.
With Norway going electric, there will be increased demand for batteries that work well in cold weather. Remember that the northern part of Norway is north of the Arctic Circle.
With nuclear, they don't use electrolysis to split water, they use heat. Not sure what efficiency but much better than electrolysis. Process is called thermochemical water splitting. It's efficient because it doesn't require generating electricity as a step in the process, rather it uses the reactors own heat directly to fuel the operation.
Trump is not right, Trump is not wrong. The only thing Trump really does is the opposite of what Obama did. "Obama did that? I better undo that." "Obama didn't do that thing? I better do that thing!"
Wrong, secretary is not safe because regardless of operating system, the 400 joule jolt stored in capacitors in the thumb drive just fried said secretary's computer!
The purpose of solar energy is to suck in photons and produce electricity (or gather heat). They are not designed to flood airline pilots eyes with glare as that is wasting energy. (That would mean they are doing it wrong)
How do magnets seize again? I must have slept through that part of my physics class. Also, why 20,000 RPM, when 200 R.P.M. gives you 50+ megajoules of power to draw from?
I can see two clear exploits:
1) Set up a personal 900 number
2) ???
3) Get on a PA system and broadcast the ultra-sonic message to call your 900 number
4) Profit!!!
The other exploit is step 3) just broadcast a normal audible message to call your 900 number
If you have a thermometer, some dry ice, a heat source like an incandescent light bulb and an enclosure like an empty aquarium and a sixth grader you can ask the sixth grader to verify for you that the CO2 greenhouse effect is, in fact, real. Further, you can also develop a model of the effect of more and less CO2.
If the atmosphere in the tube is the same as at 200,000 feet, that is enough air to operate a scramjet which is an air-breathing supersonic combustion engine. Although it may seem backwards to do this, it may be an option assuming the vehicle can go fast enough for the engine's operational constraints. The evacuated tube should also be of interest to NASA as an alternate means of testing scramjet technology.

I liked retraining better.

Yeah an' an' zombies!

And what's to stop the gloom and doom projections from happening? Clearly there are profits to be made so let the profiteering begin!
Yeah, people who want to try out no-government ought to check out living in Somalia for a couple of months.
Is this a new SEO technique? "Note to self: Ask the government to help me increase my page ranking"
Yeah and there were no doubt a few thousand solar panels in the area of Fukushima but NONE of those made the news after the eathquake/tsunami.

It's like if you had 1 cubic meter of dry ice. If you let it warm up and sublimate you might wind up with 164 cubic meters of CO2 gas.
There's a career in professional wrestling waiting for this enterprising young fella.
Was this a study that they planned to do, or was this something they did on a lark?

Did you try turning it off and turning it back on again?

It was on the internet so it HAS to be true. Amirite?

This. The coolest part of this hack is jamming the gun remotely with RF.

Must not be doing a good job of trying to hide it--I've observed OTV4 (most recent mission) in orbit about four or five times.
