If the electricity to charge electric vehicles comes from dirty sources, how are they cutting emissions?
Even if all the power comes from, say, petroleum, one large plant emits a lot less pollutant per unit of energy produced than a small source, even when distribution costs are accounted for.
The worst coal pollution events in history occurred in places like the UK and Pennsylvania, in the days when every household had its own little coal fire smoking away. When the coal is burned in one gigawatt-sized plant, it can have baghouses and fluidized beds. That is why today's controversy over coal is not black city smogs, but the CO2 that still isn't being filtered out.
Global stupidity seems a constant factor on this planet. In some social groups denial of reality is most prominent, because reality challenges their believe and there behavior.
A fungible asset is anything that can be exchanged for other assets in trade. My point is that intellectual property is treated in law as though it were real estate, not as an inalienable (cannot be separated from the original owner) personal right.
Imagine the world we would have if you could, at a time of financial desperation, sell off your right to free speech, entirely or on specified topics. The purchaser could speak on your behalf, while you would be legally silenced unless you came into money and were able to purchase speech rights from someone else. Employers would routinely force you to sign a no-speech agreement while you were at work, while the less scrupulous ones would limit your off-work speech rights too. Those non-disparagement clauses that now get laughed out of court would now be enforceable. Imagine the potential of speech troll companies..
Does such a world seem bizarrely unlikely to you? That's how we treat IP.
Yep, undoubtedly a Russian troll. We traced his IP address directly to Stalingrad.
Since the city only gets the name Stalingrad for six specific days a year in reference to its WW II heroism, this will help nail down the time of trolling, right?
You do realize that applies to almost all currencies in use today as almost none are based on any kind of resource-backed standard, where there's a guarantee that the currency can always be exchanged for a certain amount of some other commodity.
This is true of currencies. Bitcoin stopped being a currency as soon as its fixed money supply caused its exchange value in terms of what a currency trades for began fluctuating wildly every day. At that point it began being traded as a storehouse commodity, but not one whose value has been embedded in all cultures for thousands of years.
Under no circumstances should it be possible to sell a right. (In a non competes case the purchase price would be the original job.)
You also shouldn't be able to be bought off by the rich and powerful to silence your story. They can pay and ask you not to speak, but they shouldn't be able to go after you if you do it anyway.
This is why I think we should eliminate the fungibility of intellectual property. If patents and copyrights were an inalienable personal right of the creator rather than being real estate, any exploiting IP that you created would have to maintain a personal contractual relationship with you, and only within your lifetime. No more having to sign away your IP rights on employment and then having the company kick you to the curb and plug in a cheap offshore replacement. No more patent troll companies hoarding the inventions of others.
Trump is being withheld this vital slimming treatment, you sick libs? TRAITORS! I'm calling the Russians, you'll be sorry!
Which is probably a good thing. Would you want to see Trump going around naked and sweaty everywhere? North Korea would probably launch the missiles it lied about destroying.
One of the major drivers given for this warming has been hypothesized as mass ignition of coal beds, caused by either volcanism or an asteroid strike. That would convert a relatively local catastrophe into world climate change.
If you look how Chinese companies are structured, by their law, a Chinese official has to be on the board, and has the ultimate decision authority. It is equivalent to having someone from the NSA, CIA, DHS, or DEA be the deciding person on a US company's board in every decision made.
Wait until the new Congress gets rolling. This is exactly what’s about to happen.
The central premise of this article is wrong. The high price of the latest product releases has impacted sales, causing a significant drop in stock price. The new features are reviewing well, but the perception of Apple users is that an innovation like face unlock will become standard at lower prices in the future, so why jump in at this early-adopter price point?

100% of petrol/gas cars are using dirty source.
Fewer than 100% of electrical power stations are using dirty sources.
Furthermore, there are many grid power sources available that could never be used in small engines.
You mean those coal mining jobs being bought by Trump aren't permanent?
Even Trump can only push coal exports, not domestic use.

Middle-class Chinese are traveling a lot these days. Let tourists discover what despite their new prosperity they can no longer have at home.

So after a brief pause gained from a move from coal to gas in major countries, the upward march of carbon resumes.
In northern Arizona we use volcanic cinder on roads. The city of Flagstaff owns its own little volcano, which it mines for this purpose.

Aha! Australia must be getting farmers driven out of South Africa. I love coming across little signs like this.

People online will now be able to spell hold correctly again. But they will still think that the oppposite of win is loose.

Scan your Amazon code, get in, grab water bottle and snack and you are out
Then have water bottle and snack confiscated at security.
It totally is that simple. It's just that people start whining when you round them up and put them in camps.
We already do that, in Florida.

You have to compare the Apple price with the Microsoft price. AAPL is disproportionately down.

So what you meant was that only that small fraction of cancers is INITIALLY symptomatic at metastasis.
1) almost all patients are symptomatic pre-metastasis, and thus only a small fraction (~5-25%) of cancers are diagnosed at this stage
Did you mean 'asymptomatic'?
Which is way better than getting a false negative,
You'll be able to use your tablet to boil water and heat stew.
