    The courts already allow exemptions for nation security matters and since they will give this data out to people who apply for it who do not have a security interest that demonstrates this isn't a matter of national security.

    No I did not believe it. But that doesn't mean they didn't flat out lie in their ad.

    Kind of like the way DSL and CELL providers charge 33% or more above the advertized price on every product they sell.

    Then please name a bigger project or one that has used more power and material.

  25. Re:Oh man, this is going to suck on Green Energy Now, And On The Tide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Only if you ignore the massive amount of power and materials that will go into building 2000 to 4000 kms of power generating stations.

    This would be one of the largest, if not the largests, enginering projects that mankind has ever done and the production of it would have a negative effect on the environment.

    Nuclear power would be much cheaper and less disruptive to the environment.
