But why is it that everyone rushed to hear Al Gore speak at universities, or to see "The Day After Tomorrow", knowing that he sat to benefit financially from carbon credit exchanges and "green energy" companies?
Wow... I haven't seen that kind of threat of violence since... yesterday, when the Michigan union bosses promised "there will be blood". Does the left have to physically threaten all their opponents?
When I was in college around 1993, my girlfriend brought her dad's 386 PC to school. It had 16 MB of RAM, which was easily more than any PC on campus I knew of, and at the time 4 MB of RAM cost about $150.
You note that the European Common Agriculture Policy is impeding progress, yet blame it on the "free market"? It was short-sighted individuals who caused this mess, but clearly the socialist policies aren't fixing it. And tossing away the right to own property in the interest of the "common good" would be rash and cause long-term hardship. If you have great ideas for saving this land, why don't you draw up some plans, organize, and lobby for the government to purchase these neglected lands through a more democratic process of eminent domain?
I have to point out that the deforestation of the eastern forests was done by the native Americans-- just in case someone wants to turn this into another "hate whitey" diatribe.
I thought maybe he was taking advantage of recent GPS units that, when the map is up to date, know where all the speed zones are in case you miss a sign (or the sign is missing).
What you have said is utter nonsense, and I have to call you out for it only because some moron modded you up. I don't understand why Dick Cheney is your figurehead for some gun violence; I presume it's because of one hunting accident that resulted in moderate injury. I mean, do you think he was trying to murder the man under cover of a hunting trip? You're insane, and you need some introspection to decide why you have some sick fascination with Cheney.
A shotgun would be great for these, but the Australian fascist movement since the 1990s has ensured that pump action and semi-automatic shotguns are nearly impossible to get.
Fisker backed out. This can happen to any company-- some industries demand that you put in a lot of capital with only a few large customers and take on a lot of risk initially. But these are not the kind of companies that the US government should be subsidizing. The problem is that we have a lot of progressives who think just throwing a bunch of money at anything ensures success. Or maybe they know this, and think that throwing a bunch of money at a bad business is good evidence against capitalism.
It's not that the current regime thinks more regulation is good-- that's not enough. They are purposely using overreaching regulation to create an environment ripe for corruption so that it can be said, "Look-- we tried to work with the 'free market', and it didn't work. We'll have to take over the in the interest of the general welfare."
In the picture with the article, there are five gallon buckets. Not approved containers, although they do have lids. I would have rather had a pump and a lot of hose, myself.
It also doesn't vaporize at room temperature like gasoline does. A spark can start a gasoline fire, whereas diesel fuel needs to be atomized. Geeks should know this.
I assume your first argument is the standard "appeal to tradition" and the second one is a special pleading for the "green energy" industry, that it's "hard". It's "hard" to safely and effectively survey new oil and gas deposits, drill wells, pump it out, ship it, refine it, and distribute it without breaking any government regulations. I won't even go into what is required to build coal or nuclear power plants.
The fact is that government should not be talking about "investing" and other words that refer to free market capitalism, which is anathema to government. Government is supposed to spend money on things that are in the public interest, not necessarily those things that would make a profit. But when we see them throw money down a hole like this, it looks a lot more like crony capitalism.

No, unfortunately, because they elected to use a 386 CPU.

That would be my pick as well.
Got brain damage; better drink my own piss.
Happy?

Here in the US, we try not to drink and drive.
You don't know how to use the shells?

There's definitely a lot more oversight with a power plant. Where was the oversight with A123 and Solyndra?
If productivity is dropping, where is the profit increase that funds these CEOs coming from?

Please try to crack a history book.
Tinpot dictatorships have one vote, same as countries of hundreds of millions.
SO... change for the sake of change, then? Sounds Progressive, all right.
Why don't you start a vegetable farm if you need those carrots so bad(ly), boy(?). Your insult is stupid.
