Build all nuclear reactors next to Yucca Mt. You wouldn't have to transport the waste. It would be easier to secure one place than a multitude. Military is close by to shoot down any straying jetliner. And depending on how big you concider your backyard, there are few of them there.
In 2003, the United States generated 3848 terawatt-hours of electricity. You've saved 20 terawatt-hours with your plan. That's about 0.5% savings.
So if you send 200 light bulbs to each household energy use would go to 0. No need for either nuclear nor windpower. How is that for a green party platform.
This is a troll if I've ever seen one. Please provide statistics that marijuana is more dangerous on our highways than alcohol. The majority of 33% is marijuana related, lol, what are you smoking?
If The United States abolished the law requiring police to obtain a search warrant before knocking down your door... everyone would scream bloody murder and gather under the banner of "civil rights"
Then you have people holding Sweden as some "ultimate" champ for liberties, just don't hold any civil rights banners when the police knocks down your door... The Swedish police don't require no stinkin warrant to enter your property. How is that for stinking civil liberties.
Global cooling is being seen as a real threat to the future of the earth. Since the total ban on fossile fuel put in place by the United Nations (News - Website) in 2014 most countries have resorted to the use of TCP (Thermal Conversion Process) to satisfy their demand for energy. TCP is blamed as a major reason not enough CO2 is being recycled back into the atmosphere. The TCP process uses bio material to convert into oil, solid waste and other biproducts. In effect taking CO2 out of the air and converting large portions of it into solids.
Harry Sweltering of Hemispheric Organization for Technology or HOT (News - Website) states, "we have seen a drastic reduction of carbon being introduced back into the air. This reduction has caused the ozone layer to become exceedingly thick. If we do not come up with a new form of energy soon we can expect our oceans to sink drastically, the ice caps on the poles extending down into the northern parts of Canada, Scandinavia and parts of Russia."
A few people in Congress is calling for drilling in the ANWR (Artic National Wildlife Refuge) (News - Website). Samantha Coolridge, D-Minn, stated "We are at a crossroad. Either we start drilling now or we will see a natural catastophy on a scale never before seen in the history of mankind."
A bill is now being sponsored by Frank Lukewarm, D-Ala, under heavy lobbying from Sierra Club (News - Website) and Americans for the Environgment (News - Website) to open up ANWR to oil companies.
"What's ironic is his shift in attitude (influenced by his advisors I believe) on foreign policy---before election, ``humble'', after ``resolute and determined''."

I Model going for $5300 + 147 if you want a bag on it. E Model just under $6000 includes three bags that can hold weight up to 75lbs., if empty you need balast.
The units have a follow mode, where you can walk infront of the unit and it will follow (duh). Guess that is how you get it up curbs and such. It does feature some suspension though, so I assume it can handle bumps and such pretty good.
Both models available immideately to corporate and/or government customers.
You have to attend training either back east or if you buy multiple machines you can have training on site. Traning cost $250.
A "train the trainer" program available to people that has completed the traning and has logged 30 hours on the unit. Free of charge. This will allow the person to train others.
After completing the training, unit will take 3-4 weeks for delivery.
As I understand there are still mounds of legal issues surronding the use of the Segway in pulic, I believe that is the reason it is only available to corp/gov customers.
If a coporate unit is used in public, the liability rest on the company.
I have read accounts of people using the Segway on uneven surface (gravel, going up one wheel on ramp and one off) and the report is that it is _extreemely_ stable, someone compared it to standing on a podium others said it felt just like it had four wheels.
Anyhow, that is about all I know at the moment regarding it.

This is ofcourse if the slide is not damaged and all people using it lands in a 2000 degree furnace. What would be helpfull, possible, is a escape tube that can be located and dropped at any point of the roof to find a clear path down to ground.

I heard an interview with the founder of Moller International, he stated that although at the beginning the Sky Car would cost as much as a million bucks. He also stated that the technology is cheap enough that if there is enough sales, there was no reason that the cost couldn't come down to the price of a new Mustang.
The Sky Car also would not allow you to have control of the vehicle, it would be totally controled by the four computers onboard. So set your destination and kick back and pull up your notepad and read some slashdot before you get to work.
Another cool thing about that is that there would really be no need to purchase more than one Sky Car per family. One goes to work then sends the car back home to pick up the kids for school etc..
Anyhow I'm looking forward to the day I can cut my comute from the 2 hours it takes me now to get to work to well under half an hour.
Thats me... I work in San Jose but lives 110 miles north in Sonoma County. Takes me just under 2 hours to get to work and about 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 hours going home... This works for a short time but doing it for almost a year takes its toll. I live down in SV for a while although I hated it. People are rude.. the drivers really suck.. to go out you have to constantly "fight" people. Next position I take will most likely be somewhere outside this area.
To keep the 2 MS companies from doing business the DOJ is betting on good "old fashion" greed. Since no officer of either company can own shares of the other they would not benefit (or so the DOJ argues) by helping the other company. Also with an applications only company that is answering to its share holders they might have to or want to start porting apps to other platforms to "pad" the bottom line. dr//\//\
If GM had the only engine (OS) that can use gasoline, diesel and natural gas (Apps) and they told Ford, who was developing a possible alternative engine, that if they did not stop the development they would not be able to buy the GM engine and thus loose all their sales. This is in fact what the judge found in the MS ruling.
It's not quite the same since the ceo of a company should have real information on the financial stability of a company. Unless the friend has financial information not available to the public, it is not a crime, just a public fact or speculation.
Insider trading is when you base your buying and selling of stocks on not yet public information. In this case he sold his shares before the company reported a loss to the public and the stock fell in price.
This actually proves that a machine can do things better than man
That was proven a long time ago when the first computer was invented (I'll include calculators). You try to multiply 1935219 * 32946214 and compare the time-response with a computer and you'll agree with me....
