While geographic and weather conditions trap the smog, there is little excuse for generating it in the first place, and stopping or reducing produciton its the only effective way or reducing smog. This doesnt neccisarily mean cutting back on energy use, it just means mandating cleaner exhausts and chimneys.
I dont like nuclear power - there is a reason people largely stopped building nuclear power plants, After mining the fuel, refining it, using it, seperation and reclamtion, reuse, and SAFE dispoasal of waste, your spending allmost energy as you are extracting, its only economical if you have a nuclear weapons program, and guess what, the US aint building nukes anymore.
Not only are hybrid cars ready, theyre quite nice, and cheap to run.
also, the alaskan tundra is notoriosly delacate, and Caribou
The simple fact remains, that once the costs of mining, and disposal of radioactive materials are accounted for The ONLY WAY that a nuclear power program is economical, is as part of a nuclear weapons program.
Also, while the powerplants can be considered comparitively safe, in operation. The whole chain - mining, production, transport, use, transprt, disposal. is NOT as low risk as initially considered.
I think Im much safer outside the US.
People dont hate me just because Im american.
I dont need to be secure, and I dont make people hate me more by trying to be.
the option for click through the headphones is there on my 4th gen 20gig. bit loud though, and it feels like its sounding inside your skull, rather than from the touchpad.
Efficiency of a heat engine is a function of the difference between the inside and outside temperatures, BUT, spoiling the path between them is the same as raising the outside temperature. you are efectively reducing the temperature difference.
when you burn fuel in a heat engine (any heat engine, stirling cycle, IC, steam, jet turbine) you get Energy and Anergy. Energy is the total output energy of the presumably chemical reaction driving the engine. Anergy is the Usefull fraction of energy, that can actually be used for motive power, or whatever. To get more Anergy for the same Energy you want to get the difference in temperature between the inside of the engine, and the cold side heat dump as great as possible, and the conductivity between them as great as possible. therefore, to create a more efficient engine you have one goal. a higher operating temperature.
Exhaust gas recirculation is used to make sure that all fuel products are completely consumed. Particulary to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide.
That has solar panels on its roof,
It has a sign in front showing how many houses it is generating power for, on cloudy days, 5, up to as much as 12.
Thats a fairly large amount of power, from a fairly small roof.
Einstien rejected his cosmological constant when he formulated relativity. this was an extra function that did much as you say.
I understand he did it for largely aesthetic reasons, but dont you think some very smart physisist have been all over his notes. Im sure its been tested.
About the stargate thing, 1, if its doing what you think its doing, how big it is is unlikely to matter. 2, read the book. Its not doing what you seem to think its doing. the only thing sent anywhere is an electronic duplicate of Bowmans mind, and it takes its sweet time going anywhere. i think it was a 9 year round trip?
about the influincing of the apes. Read the damn book. It used flashing lights to hypnotise them, then had them perform various tests, and then got them to breed how it wanted them too.
the entire star child thing was admitedly wierd, and youre right, there is barely a concept of what that represented. but it was meant to depict something millenia beyond us, effectivly the birth of a small god.
about HAL, I feel as you do, and am undecided either way. but that was how computer science ws going back then. It seemed perfectly reasonable.
the cost of doing that would be, well, astronomical.
much better to build a few sky scan telescopes, ayt good locations. that way you can trust the data, and its contolled enough that the relatively small number of astronomers can analyse the data.
the bigger scopes can also see much fainter stars.

sub miles for km's, Certainly for ss1,probably for the shuttle orbit hights as well.
(congratiulations, you just hit mars at a couple of hundred m/s)

and so long ass there is enough sunlight down the bottom of the chasm for it to recharge and fly out again.

SO SO much better than Itunes.
Especially because the iTunes music store doesnt work where I live.
dont need it, dont want it, cant use it. Goodbye.

Actually, of all the golf based cars, the golf has the lowest reliability rating.
According to the top gear reliability survey.
so, dont buy a golf.
Good luck pulling any power from a fibre optic cable though.
I want my liquid helium cooling rig...

Fast forward really comes into its own when browsing Forums and galleries

allready covered by GST, in most states anyway.
It certainly would be here.
The biggest problem I had with HaloPC was the lack of Co-op.
The graphics and performance were a dissapointment, but co-op was the killer.
his original hip couldnt handle the pressure
Its CofM is slightly above geostationarry orbit, and tension from the wieght of the bas station on the cable holds it down.

You obviouslyt watched it. - more than once
I cant have been that bad...
