This quote does not appear to have been written by Albert Einstein. He has said something similar, but it is more likely that this quote comes from someone who was paraphrasing Einstein or some other person like William of Ockham or Bertrand Russell.
1. No, we aren't seeing blackouts in California due to a lack of power generation facilities. California has been quite proactive in planning its energy needs.
The vast majority of blackouts in California are due to wildfires and weather events.
2. The site you reference is from the Institute for Energy Research, an organization started by Enron’s public policy analysis director. It is an advocacy organization and a fossil fuels lobbying organization. It has an agenda.
I never heard of Pepe the Frog before the Left branded it a "hate" symbol. The Alt-Right gets all its needed publicity from the Left going nuts over it.
Political Version of Streisand Effect. By publicizing how awful it is, you're given them more publicity than if everyone simply ignored them. Good Job
Yeah, the "just ignore it and it will go away on its own" argument. Let's see how your argument sounds when applied to an earlier reinterpreted symbol:
I never heard of a swastica before the Left branded it a "hate" symbol. The Nazi party get all its needed publicity from the Left going nuts over it.

This has the smell of something the Macron campaign released to blame on LePen.
Someone wanting to help LePen would have released it earlier and given people a chance to examine the documents.
You have an *exceptionally bad* sense of "smell" and clearly no idea how a smear campaign is done. The document release was deliberately done *one hour* before a French law that imposes a media blackout on election discussions, preventing Macron from refuting the legitimacy of the documents in the document dump. Macron was way ahead in the polls--it makes ZERO sense for Macron to poison his own lead. The document dump has all the hallmarks of Russian election tampering that has happened both in the US and in multiple European elections.
Like you're the only one who figured that out. So much for my quick & dirty wikipedia cut & paste job. Crucify me.:)
2. Are you telling me they can't put it in a tank designed to store liquid hydrogen?
Read my subsequent post about what that tank would be like.
3. OK.
Yeah, Ok.
4. So what, it's not like having a 4x bigger tank is a problem, or by factor of 4 did you mean 1000x as it could be read.
Your post seems to be trying to say it's not possible without actually having any good reasons why.
Read my comment below about size & weight requirements for the tank. At best hydrogen is tricky stuff to store and tends to be most practical when done at large scale. It is bad enough working with hydrogen gas...cryogenic liquid hydrogen is a whole different level of crazy. I can't begin to list all the problems in a reasonable amount of time. Even seasoned NASA engineers have problems dealing with the stuff.
Large, heavy duty, high pressure cryogenic storage cylinders storing low density, near absolute zero temperature, dangerously volatile combustible gasses with an exceptionally low flammability limit (4% concentration in air) tend to be somewhat armored, therefore thick and heavy. Given they are also large that multiplies the weight factor.
Compressed liquid cryogenic hydrogen would probably be a reasonable choice for a large rail locomotive. But I'd be concerned about having a similar hydrogen storage tank on a truck on an open highway.
1. Liquid hydrogen boils above 20.28 Kelvin/423.17 F/252.87 C.
2. It is impractical to store liquid hydrogen on a truck.
3. Hydrogen is typically stored as a compressed gas or as a metal hydride.
4. Liquid hydrogen has less energy density by volume than hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline by approximately a factor of four.
1. I wrote my comment from information taken directly from the Wikipedia page for Accenture.
2. I was a Senior Consultant at Andersen Consulting for 5 years after the split from Arthur Andersen and know what I wrote to be true.
I defy you to identify any inaccuracy in my earlier comment, Anonymous Coward.:)
Accenture is the current name of the former Andersen Consulting, which was originally the tech services arm of the accounting company Arthur Andersen. Andersen Consulting split from Arthur Andersen into a completely separate business unit in 1989 and subsequently broke all ties with Arthur Andersen in August of 2000. Andersen Consulting then changed its name to Accenture in January 2001.
In summary, Accenture split from Arthur Andersen 13 years before Arthur Andersen's June 15, 2002 conviction in the Enron scandal.
It seems they use sex to sell everything, so why not use it to sell autonomous cars? We barely have enough free time anymore to have sex in the usual places.
And if horny people provide greater incentives to make car guidance and accident prevention more reliable who am I to complain?

Because an egregious violation of someone's privacy that's can be traumatizing as a sexual assault is a minor thing.
Revenge porn is a sexual assault? Seriously? Do you also regard the iCloud compromise as a sexual assault?
His premise that revenge porn "can be as traumatizing as a sexual assault" is not in any way the same as saying "Revenge porn is a sexual assault.". What you did there was to twist his words to create a straw man to attack, saying his statement about traumatization was instead claiming actual assault. Re-read his statement and you'll see he never said what you claimed as his premise.
No, the point is that atheism isn't a faith. There are no atheist doctrines. There is no atheist holy book. Faith means believing in something. Not believing something (like existence of a God) doesn't constitute a faith. Lack of faith is not a faith.
Anyone can be a zealot about anything...jogging, vegetarianism...you name it. Not relevant to the discussion.
No, all the NATO countries count as being "aligned" with the US and are therefore first-world too. Even a whole bunch of former-Warsaw Pact countries that joined in 1999/2004/2009 are now "first-world" instead of "second-world."
Anyone who goes around saying that Albania and Bulgaria are first-world countries will get a good laugh.
Really? And what of cable television? What revolutionary new technology has come out since the industry started that forced the retirement of the expensive bits of their infrastructure? The answer, of course, is "none".
Looks like someone didn't notice the transition from analog to digital cable television.

Please provide the source of your attribution...my preliminary search leads me to believe this quote is misattributed to Einstein.

False. Every "faith" will eventually have it's zealots. Even if that "faith" is athiesm.
So what is the holy book of atheism?
