While reading your post one thought came to mind. Since coal regulation has been around so long, how come no regulatory capture? I read about this all the time on/., and often see the results of it in various industries. How is it that the coal industry was never able to do that? The answer might be useful for areas where we do not want regulatory capture.
"Until proven otherwise, I think we'll have to take any and all academic research with a really big grain of salt."
Ah, yes, guilty until proven otherwise. We humans do seem to like working in that mode. (As a sidebar, I do appreciate that some govts make it illegal to do that, in some cases.)
I read on the internet that AC's rape their pets. Until proven otherwise, I think we'll have to assume that any and all AC's are screwing the pooch.
wtf? An AC post and a lame gin-up of the gen gap? And getting mods, too? Come on, "O wise elders", this is a juvenile statement and not worth reading twice, let alone modding.
Try and realize the truth, there is no 'down'. And if you don't believe me, just ask an astronaut.
"Down" is an attitude, e.g."NASA astronaut Ron Garan sang the blues after learning his return to Earth from the International Space Station could be delayed..."
A little alcohol to help me drive assertively, and a little pot to get me in the groove: I wouldn't need a soundtrack, the roar of the engines would be enough. Man that sounds like fun. Moderation, of course, except for speed, of course.

Nice. I'm astonished that renewables have made it to 15% nationally. Wind already above 5% blows me away.
Personally, I'd like to leave a *little* of that stuff around, so the next civilization has some way to grow, after this one collapses.

Coal is needed to make steel for one and many other things too, so it is anything but dead..
You mean to say that you can't make steel with the power from a bunch of solar cells or a windmill? Who knew.
That remains to be seen. But, back to the OP's point...coal is an essential physical component of making steel.

Well, if the free market was allowed to operate, you know, freely, there'd be plenty of armchairs available for you.
Thanks for posting, Donald.
Yeah, that was my shiteating grin moment, too.

From the Book of Numpty, 3:16..."And they knew not their holes from an ass in the ground."

Yeah, and AC was doubly wrong 'cause the clues are right there in your name..."rubber" and "dog".

Great, all it needs is a $1000 solar panel and you are set
Solar powered does not imply solar panels. It runs off the heat differential between a sunlit top and a shaded, air cooled condenser.
Yeah, good catch. Half the numbnuts posting on this are chattering on about solar cell efficiency and cost, etc.
Not that this is bad. I come here for the tangents as much as for the articles.
Yeah, OP must be trolling. It doesn't even use solar cells.
You just have to provide the proper squeeze to the Hutts, and you're good.

Mojave desert..."a paradise of Flying and Drinking and Drinking and Driving"
No, no, they were just built last week.
One of them still has Slartibartfast's signature on a glacier.
Would this be built to the plans of Terra Mk. I or Mk. II?

Yeah, anything that's Rosetta Stonish should work. Another thought is that languages aren't changing as quickly now due to mass literacy.
