Valve is consistently giving Half-Life 2 franchise lovers the middle finger on Episode 3. The "joke" about them releasing Duke Nukem (Forever) is just one more middle finger to add to the collection.
I would post something insightful, but this account is only for inciteful posts.
Think (for a change), what would you rather have: H-cells powered by oil/coal/nuclear plants in 5-10 years (that's assuming they're replacing more than laptop batteries) and no research on alternative energy sources. Or, getting much more efficient solar/wind/geothermal/etc. plants in 10-15 years plugged into the power grid to get rid of coal/oil/etc. plants?
I know what I'd rather have.
And what's up with the Republicans comment? I could see a Republican clubbing a baby seal, but pumping oil into the ocean? Not without a government subsidy first! Besides, I'm scared of the corporate masters of both parties (and don't like the wackos from the indies).
And it [hydrogen fuel cell tech] will always be a fucking waste, jackass. Because the energy used to create the hydrogen fuel will be provided by gas/coal/nuclear plants that deplete finite resources and/or damage the environment (i.e. - oil, as the AC pointed out, fuckwit). How is developing hydrogen fuel systems going to help? You'll always need more energy to produce less energy. Its only use is for portable storage of energy.
The only way to get out of this mess is a sane energy policy that punishes waste and promotes RESEARCH (wow, you spelt it correctly!) into avenues that promise renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, tidal...).
I know you're just a typical Slashdot reader, but I'm sick of stupidity, so you have the honor of being my first target.
By the way, if you don't have basic reading comprehension skills, don't post replies! IOW - shut your fucking pie-hole.
