Ahh, you are just inventing history now...no, I'm not. History of Richard Armey, Freedomworks and the origin of the tea baggers Secrets of the tea party
The tea party is an AstroTurf campaign front for Koch and Sciafe, with some money from DeVos (of Amway)
A car uses approx. 1/2 the total energy it will consume in an average working lifetime during manufacture. It follows that if we wish a lower carbon footprint, we mandate a long lived car with especial emphasis on long life steering and drivetrains Thus the used car market gluts in a decade, ending the 'trade up' value of cars. result? Even the tier 1 buyers demand easily replaced bodies to go on long life vehicles, cutting life cycle fuel costs.
Never ever tolerate good wages and working conditions, security for workers or solutions to social problems. ALWAYS find the cheapest labor without actually shooting strikers yourself. Get a friendly government to make slaves for you and then underpay THEM too Remember, the only Real Creators are Management and Capital Everyone else is a leech, demanding payment for making products, how disgusting can they be? That's the Capitalist WAY, after all!
It is not the intent of the Tea Baggers to identify with the founding principles. Remember their appearance before the American people, shouting and screaming in order to SILENCE the discussions of Obamacare in the TownHall Rush?
The really bad joke was their choice of name for themselves..until they learned the meaning of their self-identification.
If this had been in force between 1976 and 1988, no one would have dared to expose Ford in the Pinto " death for profit " scheme for fear of Ford extorting huge 'costs' onto the losers.
Loser pays is just another way of insulating the wealthier party in any dispute from any civil justice whatever.
A patent troll falls. Tomorrow it is the old lady GELDED by McD's 210 F coffee who gets screwed over for the last time.
Let's not cheer this more than it is worth. Let's think about what the Supreme Court has just done to civil justice in America.
There are perfectly good ways to nail the patent trolls without this
Instead of a Union, the Japanese have a corporate Lord who directs everything for the benefit of said Lord, like workers living 7 to a bungalow, sleeping under desks (normal behavior), mandatory FREE overtime. Small investors ripped off via Land-value swaps and Mafia style Keiritsu, Capitalism without remorse. Otherwise known as Mafia
hmm, sounds like a piece of Koch Brother's Wet Dream America
Yike! Thought I did. Hang on, I'll go look for it Damn. I seem to have lost it
HA!!

Looks like they are going for 10% NET fuel economy increase.
Looks like Toyota has produced the pinch-channel Class I V transistor in SiC with no minimum offset / gain. Seriously, holy grail for current steering. Can't find the vendor of the raw SiC so no idea about Delta-V / Delta-I limits but looks very good
10% net reduction in loss.
Digging in, I found the discussion of Otto cycle engines which puts the theoretical limit at 45% and the practical limit below 37%. Gasoline, burning cooler, in a smaller expansion space with hotter exhaust temperature, is lower, usually much lower.

Seriously, is there something about "Tuned cavity" you don't understand? Not rocket science! Put the antenna in a parasitic cage under the vehicle, switch on power only when cage over xmitter.
Seriously, you got a problem with being close to a radio station in the FM band making 50KW? MOVE, because there is one that strong within a hundred miles of you anywhere in the U.S. and they are broadcasting into open air.!
The whole point is that our 'long range' needs are predicated upon freeways not becoming recharge sources, as in microwave power pointing directly at undercar antennae and recharging on the road. Voila', no need for big batteries. Supercaps may be quite enough.
Tell me ladies, are you not very attractive, given to big glasses and serious introspection? COME TO SILICON VALLEY, learn useless coding techniques, give out buggy code and ask the nerdiest soon-to-be-billionaire to help you grow in the profession. After the divorce, you won't ever have to work again!
Batteries aren't the problem. Unelectrified freeways ARE the problem Microwave power under roadbed to provide recharge in transit as well as billing. With current technology alone we could un-oil the entire world in less than 30 years. The U.S. in less than 10.
NO, they are not. They neither suffer public control nor accountability. In fact, Charter schools performance and equal access is beyond doubt miserable by every performance measure.
Do try again.
The question always devolves back to the same old issue America, and indeed Capitalism in general, has failed to answer. Who does better work? The guy who digs a 50 meter trench 5 meters deep in SAND or... The guy who digs a trench 5 meters long and 1 meter deep in CONCRETE? As applies teachers, the highest per capita college graduation rate at schools in upstate Connecticut vs. the HIGH SCHOOL graduation rate in inner city Boston with 5x the crime rate, buildings with broken sewer pipes and textbooks for less than half the students.
THIS is what unions are trying to prevent, injuring the teachers who accomplish miracles with no resources!
They do just fine if they are large enough and hit them where it actually hurts - profit margins.
That's the problem. To a monopoly, a fine is just a rise in the price of the product they offer, nothing else. For this reason, the Japanese and the Chinese have delineated the limits of action of their monopolies. Step over that line in Japan and you, the CEO, go to a prison cell. In China, they send your wife a bill for the bullet they put in your head. Not saying we have to become that draconian or that tolerant of monopolies, but we must reign them in. In the end, I believe we must pass a Constitutional amendment to neutralize Citizens United by explicitly declaring that a corporation is a foreign entity forbidden to influence U.S. Elections in any way, either directly via campaigns or indirectly via 'educational' efforts.

"Skepticalscience.com" a Koch paid front? (www.sourcewatch.org use the search) No, I'm afraid I'll trust NOAA before Koch.

Soros the bogeyman again.
Soros is worth no more than 5 billion
The Kochs have SPENT that much on RW Thunk Tanks in just the last 10 years.
False again.
Correct. Allowing outsiders to inject themselves as spoilers into an internal race isn't fair.
The Koch brothers (and others), many out-of-state- Super-PACs and their advertising campaigns would beg to differ with your opinion.
BARK! (sound of cheese sandwich passing through my nose with laughter.)
You scored.
Christine O'Donnell. Sorry, but by example the teagaggers are insane and always cost the Republicans hope of victory.
Climatologists say no such thing.
In fact, NASA says that 9 of the last 10 years have been the hottest on record
Who has her fingers in her ears now?

Actually, Cree does it because they vend the 4H SiC used in these things.
Everyone else uses either AlN or BN or Diamond film

See above. We can install flying-recharge under the freeway surface and put an end to large power transport.
