Yes. A little bit. We're still stuffing diesel into truck engines, though. It's a bit cleaner, but it's not that much more energetic.
Those "common" feedstocks you're talking about have a tiny fraction of the energy density of petroleum, each deposit of which is the accumulation and decay and concentration of hundreds of millions of years of biomass. There's no way we're turning out the same number of kj/hectare every year. We'd need to farm every arable planet in this arm of the galaxy to keep up.
The war in the Pacific was started over oil, and turned on fuel supply.
In the end, Japan was using biofuels made from the roots of pine trees, which they had a lot of because the trees had been felled to be burned themselves.
It took 100,000 pine tree stumps to make one tank of gas for a Japanese fighter jet.
Biofuels are an overrated source of energy.
Once the oil begins to run out, heavier-than-air airraft are going to become scarce.
And yes, you're overestimating the new stuff, and underestimating the old stuff they chose.
You're also not recognizing that the new stuff is far less widely read than the old stuff. SF&F is rarely bestseller-list material, and spreads through osmosis.
Being over the hill has absolutely nothing to do with casting.
There is a vast difference between A-list and the rest.
And even then, those women have to make additional effort to get work, or have a special relationship with certain people who have a frequent use for the irony of putting a famous old woman in a movie.
They haven't discriminated against her yet, so she has no injury, so no grounds to bring suit.
She does, however, have grounds against Amazon, because it didn't protect her privacy like other websites would. Display of the birthday should be opt-in.
Of a sort. The only reason to watch one of his movies is to masturbate over him. Certainly there's not a single other redeeming quality to his presence in them.
Date of Birth is one of those privacy-related items that is generally opt-in for display on websites you sign up for.
IMDB apparently confuses fame and privacy, so it puts DOB out for everyone who has an entry.
There are millions who have IMDB accounts who don't have entries. If you have an ordinary account, you don't have to show anything, not even your name.
And yes, the last several redesigns seem to be making its usefulness implode.
No need. She's fighting the wrong battle. It's easier for a 40-year-old woman to get consistent work in film than any asian. Other than James Hong, of course, who's in everything. He's probably the voice you're reading this website in your head in.

I don't like Libertarians standing in the way of my right to solve problems that require the structure of government to be solved.
>"What you want" is not grounds for legal action.
It is when you make the effort to put it into law.
Nor do many of its viewers.

I found my way to Silicon Valley.
And discovered it's a crowded, underbuilt swordfest.
No girls, no sunshine, no warmth, crappy food.
And all the computer stuff can be done from somewhere else (which is why much of Silicon Valley moved back to India).
Seriously. Plow it under and put the fruit trees back. Silicon Valley is done.
He isn't.
He's actually getting the job done.
He's not just pretending to do it to generate business for his cronies.
I was beginning to worry that politics and journalism and business were all there was to /.
I mean, seeing as he doesn't need it any more...
This sounds like more of the cowardly irrelevancy that you're well known for producing.
Sorry. I said "fighter jet" when i meant "fighter".

So is your birthday. Do you want your bank/employer/Facebook displaying this "public record" just because you entered it in a box on a form?
So you already work in Hell.
How did you arrive at that conclusion?
Show your work.
William Gibson is on there.

It's not looks. It's age. She probably looks 25, but they'll assume her headshots are photoshopped and toss her packet when they see 40 on it.

From the only side from which it can be approached.
Unless she's made of neutrinos or something.

Not if publicity about her age causes more producers to know her age and drop her resume' from the pile.
