I don't like every article on Slashdot either, but don't go in and bitch about it. Then again, i'm not personally offended when people aren't spreading propaganda. Stalin did what's best for his people, too, just like Bush.
When was the last western plant that "killed thousands".
I'm not saying it happens, just that it might. Just like you did.
As for fears about windfarms.
Thank you. Here's the relevant part, you might want to note that 80% of the Indian population lives on a dollar a day:
Farmers in the central Indian state of Maharashtra have forced an inquiry after claims the 1,700 windmills in the region have contributed to a drought by chasing away the monsoon rains. Last month protesters tried to sabotage several turbines.
Do turbines chase away the clouds? UK experts are very sceptical One theory is that the blades' magnetic pressure draws in clouds only to "slash through" and "fragment them" before driving them away.
Industry insiders in the UK say the theory is "bunkum" and some observers believe the inquiry has more to do with local politics than science.
The British Wind Energy Association (BWEA) says previous research shows rainfall marginally increased downwind of tall buildings. In addition, taking energy out of the wind increases precipitation says Alison Hill of the BWEA.
I'd like to add to that, that trees are great for shading. They're leafy in summer, and barren in winter. Thus regulating the amount of sunlight/heat reaching the house.
Solar - majorly toxic panels, if theres enough to cause a difference there's an increase in the earths reflectivity changing global climate
Use plants, those are safe and can be yummy, too. Some can also be used to produce more than 25,000 products, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane.
Wind - changes rainfall patterns and global climate
Please back up those "facts" with the relevant data. Besides, a turbine farm blocks less air than a few skyscrapers.
Tidal - changes sediment flow rate causing erosion elsewhere, and reduces velocity of water which might affect global currents, changing global climate
And nuclear plants might have nasty accidents that kill thousands and sneaky goings-on that kill too few to get as much attention.
A parallel would be decentralised p2p telephone system. It could probably be done too, but it won't be (for consumers at least) because the suppliers of the status quo would be obsoleting themselves.

They ought to loose some goats on kudzu.
Oil tankers. ;)

Too bad those starving people don't have enough money to pay for it, as they are being exploited and/or don't know how to live sustainably.
Solar cooking of good ol' grasshopper pie is a good start.
Where no man has gone before. :)
Tap water varies wildly. I prefer the tap water in my home to bottled Spa water.
But isn't cubical growth just exponential growth where k = 3?
It all depends on what you irradiate. Like fire.
Cthulhu a slug? Maybe you mean Glaaki, he reportedly lives in England.
Speaking of paper lifespan, hemp, and maybe algae paper last much longer than wood pulp paper.
This is the first time i've heard it. Those evil creatures!
It's not an ultimate weapon because it affects both sides. (And any neutral one.)
Isn't lead highly toxic? I think a lead lined coffin would be more dangerous in the long run than a radioactive corpse.

Lotsa official maps here, but i didn't see # and intensities of tests.

That's Free as in Universal. For beings with limited lifespan (presidents, etc.), eating the lunch and not paying the bill, will be "Free."
Isn't the moon receeding because our oceans are acting as a slingshot?
In that case, use tidal power and the Moon will come down on us!
On the bright side, this will save time & fuel in getting to it.

That's why Skype isn't made by the status-quo.
I'm not sure whether light counts as sub-atomic, but biomass and heat are energy solutions.
Water is used as a coolant, but propane can be used to turn turbines, too.
That's drinking, and inland water. Due to population growth, wastage, pollution, and stripping of nature's natural sponge action.
You're joking, but should read this.
All life uses energy, and sustainable life doesn't create negative spirals.
Plague
Non-zero chance, and increasing as the climate gets nicer for mosquitos and such, as seen recently in NY.
It might be a right wing extremist brainwashing streak. ;)
