It's the legislature's job to set the rules, the court's job to determine if somebody broke the rules when there's a complaint, and the executive's job to enforce the decisions of the legislature and the court. The FCC is almost continuous usurpation.
"How did you react" is past tense. To have any semblance of reasonableness, you should use future tense, because there is yet to be a good electric car.
Sorry, steam is an inherently inferior technology for motor vehicles. No amount of clever design or money applied to research is going to let steam catch up with the IC engine.
In 1968, MIT students had developed an electronic controller for use in the Great Electric Car Race against Cal Tech. Alas, the controller went up in smoke and they had to use more conventional means for controlling the motor.
More generally, variable speed motor control has been important for industry as long as there have been electric motors, and research into controls has been ongoing. Consider for example the thyratron, developed around 1920 and commercialized about 1928.
I found a news article that stated that Atlanta had only 10 vehicles to handle snow, augmented (?how?) to 22 (or maybe 68) before the storm hit. They have about 200 miles of road considered critical. The population is 432,427, but 5,457,831 in the metropolitan area.
Figure $200,000 for a big dedicated plow/sander. 500 trucks means a big hit for taxpayers. Building the fleet up to 30 vehicles is a more reasonable goal. Scramble crews early and get ramps sanded; make sure they're trained in the effective use of the vehicles.
Paying a lot to remove all inconveniences of major rare events is unwise. Paying less to reduce problems substantially and clear the roads more quickly seems better.
"Insecurity" is a poor word choice. It implies crippling lack of confidence in one's abilities, which tends discourage trying. Indeed, I can't think of a single word that seems right; what I'm looking for is something that means "it is essential to my honor to try hard and succeed." "Driven" almost fits.
Actually, those in academia who question global warming come under intense pressure: no funding, threats of firing, denial of tenure, social ostracism. Anyone who looked like he was about to come up with proof that global warming was a fraud would receive death threats: the population of college students contains a substantial number of people with no compunction against violence.
Much existing funding for climatologists comes from organizations that have a vested interest in demonstrating global warming, particularly the government which is interested in increasing its power and keeping its base of voting envirofreaks.
How many people in the first world would be alive a year later if all the energy companies suddenly stopped producing energy? Think about that before you blindly accuse them of malfeasance.
"Manmade climate change", particularly "manmade global warming", is a colossal fraud. Steyn is quite brave in standing up to the political pressures advancing this fraud, particularly since Obama is packing the courts to the best of his corrupt abilities.
Teachers and schools should be interested in teaching what the students want to learn.
So, up to 12 years old, cartoons, video games, TV, sports, adorable pet animals. After that, add cars, sex education, romance novels, and pornography.
Most youngsters are not fit to judge what they should learn, any more than they should be allowed a diet consisting entirely of potato chips, chocolate, and coke.

I'm sure you'll be happy to take the job of determining which programs have "social benefit."
Drop dead, tyrant.
General Sherman is the largest plant. India's solar thingie isn't even alive.
Front-heavy RWD cars tend to understeer unless you apply power, which allows you to control the balance.
Back-heavy RWD designs like Porsche require a highly skilled driver to handle the inherent oversteer. A dangerous type of car for the boy racer.

The only electrode that has a potential for a 10X weight improvement is hydrogen, which is difficult to store.

6. Drive extra slowly on curves
7. Keep in the tracks of the vehicles that have gone before you
Apparently your English teacher never got your attention.
I don't suppose it occurred to you to tell him that cigar smoke is usually not inhaled?

Insurance companies have such poor judgement that they also were caught in the bursting of the housing bubble.
We see so much of this, where politically funded "scientists" are refuted by political operatives. FTFY.

Can you say "railroaded"?
Carl Sagan would have had an orgasm.
Who believes that? I've seen numerous videos of animals (including dogs, cats, and birds) teasing other animals.
Sure. You're providing the funding, right?
Spelt, like most wheats, is green when young and beige when harvested and dried.
So, up to 12 years old, cartoons, video games, TV, sports, adorable pet animals. After that, add cars, sex education, romance novels, and pornography.

To buy food in a foreign country, use pointers and dereference them with money.
