Don't Worry, a thousand years from now, people will be wondering why we buried all of that plutonium fuel in the ground, saying hydrogen fusion reactors are onlt 30 years away and complaining that they still can't get a flying car.
I didn't think sufiecent resevours to do anything more than a dog and pony show in pumped storage, of course there are plenty of stories about British pensioners in fuel poverty and dying of hypothermia durring the Met Offices famous BarBQ winters lately.
I used to live near a fuel oil tank farm on the St. Lawerence that was sold for developement and I can catagoricaly say they do clean up a tanker's worth and far less. A company came in and scraped off the top meter of soil and ran it through an on-site incinerator, tested the subsoil for contamination, replaced the incinerated dirt on the site and placed topsoil on top of everything. Regulations on such matters are very strict.
Well yes the CO2 is what is keeping the planet from ice-balling, but the additional heat retention diminishes as the CO2 increases. I know some of the 38 climate models do predict increased draughts and flooding, but none have predicted the 17 years of no warming we are still having.
In the SOTU address POTUS made a lot of noise about KeystoneXL, but I think that was just a distraction for the very quite comment about increased "safe" natural gas wells, which to my cynical ear sounded like liberal double-speak for "frack Baby frack"! We shouldn't forget that Obama helped push through the permits through the EPA that lead to the Macondo blowout in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
They claim it is to be able to push it to the refineries, but if that was true, why not build some refineries on or near the USA / Canadian boarder? It would be cheaper, require less resources, and environmentally safer.
There are, we call the place Chemical Valley, near by is a town named Oil Springs which is home to the world's first commercial Oil well and Petrolia
The ironic part of your arguement is your argueing that oil that was scooped up in dirt, and extracted, would be impossible to clean up if it spilled back into the dirt!
Carbon is a solid at STP, your not going to have "lots" of carbon in the air, ever. Carbon Dioxide on the other hand is a gas at STP, but there is less than 0.004% of it in the air; confusing carbon with carbon dioxide merely makes you sound scientifically illiterate.
Windows 8 on a touch screen at a workstation is an ergonomics nightmare. The keyboard I'm using was originaly attached to an 8MHz AT clone with a 80286, so you can imagine what I think of Win8's virtual keyboard; when things work correctly I stick with them.
Too much time to think of "good" ideas to fuck it up. It happens to me at work as well, a job with a slight amount of time-pressure always turns out better than jobs with way to much or way to little time.
Yes, File selector still sucks like it always did, only different. If Gnome/GTK could just develope a good File Selector, it would be like the first ray of sunshine after 40 days and nights if rain.
Consider that the race you are calling "White" ranges from pasty white pale skin that could pass for albinoism to much darker the most "Blacks" Hindus, the White/Black doesn't work well either.
Has anybody designed a test that measures intelligence (not necessarily standard IQ tests) in which Africans can beat or at least equal Europeans or Asians in a systematic manner? Navigation, pattern recognition, memory, that you mentioned but not something that measures memorized knowledge, something that uses abstract ideas.
Since a low-land Gorilla named Coco taught American Sign Language scored 95 on a standardized human IQ test, I would expect most Neanderthals to score in the 95-105 range like any other normal Human.
The Jews that were rich were rich primarily because the Catholic Church had decised that it was unchristian for Christians to charge other Christians interest on lent money and gave Jewish Bankers a banking monopoly; After that it was just a matter of wise investing once they monoply was lost. As typical with monoplies, most were created by governmental inteference.
the employees of the companies that were using the public bus stops as their own private stops.
You say that like the Employees, who reside in the area near the bus stops, aren't members of the public! Most likely those bus stops were localted after considering many factors like public saftey, trafic flow; if you want to hear people scream bloody murder, have private coaches stopping traffic anywhere they chose to pick up passengers.

BOB cost $25M, and stores 4MW for 8 hrs, so my back of napkin est is $782K/MWhr, pretty pricey for the capacity.

Really, usually the Dems kiss the entertainment industry's ass and the Repub's kiss wall street's ass, wonder why the Repub's are rimming Comcast.
The conjecture that a hypothesis is correct because we can't think of alternatives reeks of hubris.

The EPA doesn't display much environmental expertise either.

Nobody has built a refinery in the US for a very long time, the best you'll see in the US or Canada is the expansion of an existing refinery.

Oh no, most plants are CO2 starved, increasing CO2 into the atmosphere would help those plants and therefore the environment!

Eskimos have 300 words to describe snow, I know high school graduates that barely have 300 word vocabularies.
Actually the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale was published in 1916, the Army Alpha/Beta test was developed in 1917-1918, the present Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) in 1968.

The Chitling test is alleged by some to do it.

Had my first taste of bear this year and I was not impressed.
