You are making things up. sodium chloride indeed is used in some systems mixed with other common salts. Sodium nitrate in others. Potassium salts also used, and you think elemental potassium is safe too? A mixture of lithium nitrate and sodium chloride can be used.
You don't understand thermodynamics either, 70 percent of the thermal energy can be converted to electricity. Sure, not the 90 percent of battery storage, but this is free solar power we're talking about, not something from a fuel that costs money.
Your choices are stupid, you make strawman arguments for a dirty polluting power source that leaves deadly waste, which is nuclear.
Delete that shit you would ignore, immediately. It will never bother you again. Worried it might be important later or something? Bah, it will get less important with each passing day.
please stop repeating that urban legend that comes from misleading hype articles.
No fusion reactor has gone anywhere near breakeven. People misunderstand the Joint European Torus firing of making 16 MW from an input of 24 MW of heating.....they totally ignore the total input of 800 MW of electrical power. That's right, two percent the input power produced and of course that couldn't be captured for any practical power generation.
might be several centuries of popped and popping power transformers and supplies, lousy radio reception, useless compass and Hall effect navigation, northern lights in non-northern places....
it's still has the best environment which is shrinking
they always did grow in relatively narrow band with the proper conditions.
I don't see them faring well anywhere else. the big trees in california are 2000 - 3000 years old, these transplants might do okay for the first century or six....
I made no claims about beauty or lack dummy-tude or talent.
Please read with more comprehension before posting. Better yet, holler up the stairs to your mommy to order you a pizza so you feel better and not so grumpy.
You are the ignorant one. Yes, e-bikes *defined* in those states, but mostly NOT ALLOWED ON THE SIDEWALK, they have to use the streets. That includes my state.
The trees used for paper are called "softwood" and are replanted. Fact, the paper industry replants more than they use. The paper industry does not destroy forests.
You are whining about logging for lumber, not paper. Different trees.
Stop being stupid, those paper towel makers are helping.
lolz no don't offer or suggest to show pics to random 54 year old guys on the internet
your face might not be as perfect as you imagine, there is nonzero chance people with that username such as yours might have inflated opinion of themselves.
It looks silly to me, especially knowing the actors' real life appearance, to see a bunch of living mannequins in a movie. Even the piled on makeup opera or play performers wear looks ridiculous, they're like clowns and I must laugh.
while there are protoype holographic television systems they are not in common use.
a couple cars that have attachments to make them airplanes are not flying cars for the masses.
we have no fusion power plants nor the technical means to make them with any amount of money. ITER (which is not a power producing design) might not even work.
there has never been a space station that rotates to produce artificial gravity
people die or are maimed by cancers that are incurable
we don't have cure for flu or the common cold, much less other viral infections like herpes or AIDS. Yes we have vaccinations for influenza that are 60%+ effective or mitigate the intensity of the disease.... but we're still stuck with waves of the disease going around the world and killing half a million a year.
we can't fix common genetic diseases let alone the rarer ones
we do not have a robot that does household chores. a roomba won't rake leaves, dust shelves and tops of frames/cabinets, scrub the bathroom or cook dinner....
That's okay, none of those things you mentioned actually use any form of intelligence, artificial or otherwise. AI is a just buzzword thrown onto algorythms and techniques invented decades that largely haven't delivered on the promise of AI.

for making a rodent healthier.
primates? who knows....

you mean free additonal bloat and lower and lower quality with each release, with added spyware and bugs.
Microsoft is moving backwards, pal.
OS Technology? pfft, you mean more eye candy and bloat. hardly "technology"
oh, you mean molten salt storage needing that rare earth sodium chloride?
we don't need nuclear any more

you mean they're an e-biker and haven't read the laws that forbid motorized vehicles on the sidewalk
get them the fuck off the sidewalk

no big pores, no wrinkles...heh......suuuuure
because young people don't have acne, moles, freckles, warts, scars etc.?
It looks silly to me, especially knowing the actors' real life appearance, to see a bunch of living mannequins in a movie. Even the piled on makeup opera or play performers wear looks ridiculous, they're like clowns and I must laugh.
I have a better idea, why don't you use a search engine and educate yourself, you lazy ignorant fuck who isn't in the field.

You might have read alarmist articles on the matter.
The serious science is this:
reversals are rapid
the magnetic field does not disappear during reversals though there may be multiple poles
no extinctions correlate with them
the solar wind interacting with the upper atmosphere would protect us from cosmic rays
so the "fun" would be technology / navigational system issues, no anything directly dire to life
https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph...
What we're missing that I imagined we'd have:
flying cars that could hover
holographic tv
rotating space stations
moon and mars colonies
undersea cities
fusion power
cure for cancers and viral diseases
cures for genetic diseases
mind/computer interface
robot to do all house chores
no poverty
You spew in ignorance.
Notable mathematicians are still evaluating Atiyah's proof. It is unknown as of now whether there is an error in it.

I was NOT speaking of most of that cost though, but of fees parents with children have to pay, via checks or credit card to school at start of year.
I'm not expecting anything different.
Modern natural gas plant emits 50 to 60 percent less CO2 than new coal plant, that's reality.
We are not going to nuclear power.
Wind or solar will take decades to adopt, if that path is pursued aggressively.... and right now it is not.
oh, overdeveloping coastlines has investments get hit with hurricanes and floods? Next you'll be telling me bears shit in the woods.
it has words "for the wealthy anyway"
which is false.
first of all, cancer rate has dropped for everyone in USA in last 25 years
the report then talks about poor countries vs. "wealthy" ones.
