Greenpeace espouses the standard climate scenario of today's radicals, which is that all bad weather is the fault of human-emitted carbon. So if this is the case, we need to eliminate emitted carbon right away. When can we kick open the doors to Yucca Mountain and start building the new reactor fleet?
Of what shirts the guys in the control room were wearing.
What I'm really hoping for is that some woman in the control room can give the media a detailed technical explanation of what is going on with Rosetta while wearing an I WISH THESE WERE BRAINS T-shirt.
Changing California water law to end the water priority for farmers would be a powerful motivator to desalinate water for agriculture. City people are probably going to reject "frankenwater" anyway, this being California, but the flat-earth lobby wouldn't be able to stop huge desal plants being built in the San Joaquin. Agricultural usage would more easily lend itself to experimentation with new technologies that will offer lower costs over RO.
"Today we generate more electricity from non-fossil fuel than all of electricity we used to generate just 40 years ago"
And those nonfossil sources are hydro and nuclear, compared to which all the other carbon-free sources are a rounding error. If Greenpeace were really trying to reduce carbon, it wouldn't be opposing these every chance it gets.
Everybody loved Greenpeace when it was saving whales. Then it didn't just take a turn to the left, but to the radical anti-human left. Now it reflexively opposes anything that might promote humanity, like changing fuels from fossil to nuclear if, perchance, their own climate scenario were proved true.
The left did used to be optimistic (reread your London and your Steinbeck), and that was when it was popular. Post-1970, it seems to have sunk into anti-human primitivism. Remember when a synonym for leftist was "humanist?"
You wouldn't use Earthly gunite on the Moon, but something more like epoxied regolith over carbon fiber mesh. The principle is the same. The article cites the possibility of large lava tubes. If those exist, there will be smaller tubes that will be early candidates for reinforcement.
This is actually another false assumption. You see the right/left reversal because you are facing the other way when viewing the reflection. That's why up/down are not swapped also.
"What I dont understand is , whats the big deal about uber? why is everyone giving it so much publicity? "
Vast press coverage accorded to a service that most people would need about once a year. Such is the scorn of rent-seekers whose gummint granted monopoly is threatened.
What I really want to see is for the Uber concept to be applied to health care. That's when the news will get really interesting.
Can we develop an e-book reader that presents a virtual image that must be focused on as though it were at a distance? Let a cohort of Asian kids go through childhood reading from this device and see what happens to their vision.
I'm a photographer, and this is a common false assumption. The actual focus is on whatever is in the mirror. It's exactly like seeing the same subject through clear glass.
I've heard that several divisions of lawyers were ready to cross the Rhine in massed Hummers and be airdropped into major commercial centers from a fleet of Gulfstreams.
I have hiked in that very tube (about a mile long). If you had to live in a lava tube, it would be both easy to reinforce with something like shotcrete, being close to and parallel with the surface, and easy to create new entrances. It would be ideal protection from radiation.
Arizona's excess power (renewable from Hoover and Glen Canyon, nuclear from Phoenix, coal from the Navajo reservation) is used in California, which won't generate its own electricity because that would be evil.
Cars are most often charged at home at night, when grid power costs the least, even if the same home can contribute solar to the same grid in the daytime. If parking lot power is available to cars during the day at office parks, this will help also.
Some parts of the developed word need nitrogen fixation, some need aluminum refining, while others need desalinated water. Any of these can be used to absorb extra baseload energy that is being produced above market need at a given time. When New Zealand's largest renewable power project, Lake Manapouri, went online, it even paid to ship bauxite in from Australia to absorb the extra power.
Any power that renewable tech generates is good, so long as the grid can supply power when:
1. The wind isn't blowing or the sun isn't shining 2. You need more energy in one place than sun and wind can provide. This doesn't just mean steel mills; it also means high-rise apartment buildings with small roof areas. 3. The renewable tech in your area is not one of the forms favored by Greens, so your dam or tidal lagoon got canceled.
Almost all of us are the result of a genetic choice that resulted in your parents deciding to procreate and have children who were like themselves. Eugenics is the imposition of one specific genetic choice by the government.
In 1963, only an infinitesimal minority of the very rich could afford the first liver transplants. As we slid down the learning curve, the operation became more common. As soon as we can use those evil frankenpeople techniques to grow clone organs in pigs, transplants will become ubiquitous and cheap.

The biggest free market of them all is a natural ecosystem. Every human society that has ever existed is socialist by comparison.
But without nuts, it wouldn't be California.

Let us henceforth dub it the Snow Crash exploit.

Uber is responsible to global warming and the heartbreak of psoriasis in 3...2...1.

In Arizona, the heat sink for nuclear is dry desert air, not water. This would also work in other dry parts of the world, such as Australia or Chile.

That's intelligent design by us, of course. A wolf is natural; a beagle is the product of intelligent design.
