Defining good to the environment is hard to do. Making more landfills is sure not good for the environment. What we do know is consumer recycling is not profitable save for maybe a very small list of items.
1. This is just supply lag, it will catch up. 2. Electric companies would love to have EVs. They currently have to do all kinds of fancy tricks to deal with the extra power at night.
Oh noes teh scorpions! We can lose some desert just fine. Power transmission over great distances is already done today. That is what we call a solved problem.
I did not watch it since I have seen their programs before. How much would they have spent on disposal? How much did they make on selling the material? How many tons was that for 33 million? What are the numbers like when the mob is not involved?
Or we could put the panels in the desert and let the people live where ever they like. I know crazy idea.
Sure nukes have a place, but at this point they are more heavily subsidized than any other power generation method. I say that because cleanup costs always come from the tax payer. Solar thermal plants in our deserts and Wind where that fits can be a large part of our power needs. Nukes will still be needed, but unless something can be done about their high costs, coal will sadly stay in use.
Penn and Teller are fun to watch, but they admit their show is for entertainment not education. This is just like how sometimes the daily show takes quotes out of context for comedic effect.
Only if the net output of the solar cells over their projected lifetime exceeds the energy costs to manufacture them and affix them to the side of the building.
It does, get over it.
lapping solar cells on the roof of a Prius technically makes it go farther on a gallon of gas, but the difference is so trivial that it doesn't justify the cost of the solar cells.
Those are there to run the fans while the car is parked. This lowers the demand for AC when the user gets back in. AC uses lots of fuel, far more than the cost of the wee little panel over the life of the car.
Try less pontificating and a little more education. How your comment got a +5 I will never know.
You mean it will work as well as recycling? That is fantastic news. Aluminum and Glass recycling saves tremendous amounts of energy.
Considering solar panels are generally guaranteed up to 25 years and I have seen some from the 80s brown but still working these sure as hell will pay for themselves eventually.
Wireless carriers are certainly not developing the spectrum they have, either because of over-burdensome regulations associated with doing it, or because the spectrum they have is not appropriate for the mission.
Yeah, those are the only possibilities, not that they would ever buy it just to prevent competition. Oh no, they would never do such a thing. If the spectrum was not worth using, they would not have bought it.

I thought Iran was another. I know there is a huge list of things you are not allowed to sell to Iran as a US company.
The space shuttle is not elegant, unless you think camels are elegant. Design by committee does not anything elegant make.
Got to love how that station just can't help themselves but to include a dig at the president. Stay class, Fox.
Here in reality, Ares is a boondogle and we need a fresh design, not more pork for solid booster makers.

The closest to that would be wind, and is why in places where that makes sense they are putting them up as fast as they can.
To make such a change we really will have to tax CO2, but that will never happen in the USA.
I am plenty willing to look at evidence, not tv shows.
Recycling is not sham, it just does not in every case make money.
Not everything has to make money.

Speaking truthfully?
I was not aware one had to agree with something to be well versed in it.

Sorry, without some sort of actual statistics they are only giving their opinions of why that might be the case.
Damn that blind eunuchs union, if only we could remove the right to collective bargaining from blind eunichs.
They are also far more insulating than the windows they replaced.
That works quite well, until a say an earthquake rated at 9 on the Richter scale hits and then the tsunami from it does even more damage.
But then Microsoft patent trolls can't benefit. How are they supposed to become even more wealthy without rent seeking?

It might be, but why would the people in Chicago want to do that?
How about you put some of these on a high rise in phoenix if you want.

1. Please do provide some proof.
2. Stop making new puppet accounts Commodore.
Correct you are, I used the wrong term. I meant, it sounds like a market broken by these granted monopolies.

Sounds like market failure to me. Rent seeking is not a good thing.
They did not make that money in this market place, they made it in the PC realm.
MS cannot compete in the smartphone market so they fall back to rent seeking.
