America's manufacturing has been giving up their ability. At the same time, China is in a cold war with the west and is using the very same technique that America used against USSR. This is not about profits. It is about knowing what we are up to and gleaning what information they can. It would be in the west's interest to return the military/intel back to the security that we had during the USSR cold war. That includes bringing back our electronic manufacturing and steel work. Likewise, America needs to address the massive trade deficits with China. That should be done via a scaled tariffs. Per WTO rules, once 2 nations have more than 10% deficits, then corrective actions can and should be taken.
You are also confusing the fact that off-shore winds blow pretty steady compared to on-land. IIRC, it will produce more more than 33% (which is the norm for most wind).
They are trying hard to NOT address the fact that China is subsidizing and then dumping solar cells/panels on the western market (USA AND EU). If we really wanted to tell China to play fair, then we would have had real tariffs on panels that are made out of solar cells from China. Doing 5% does not address the issues. It should be around 40-60%.
No. I think that the right thing to do is to convert the coal to natural gas. There are multiple programs underway to do just that. In doing that, it simplifies delivery, and stops all of the pollution EXCEPT for CO2 and some side reactions (small amounts of NOx, etc).
When I trailer a boat, it knocks a couple of miles off the MPG. I would expect that by adding a generator on the outside like I suggest, that it would at most knock off a couple of MPGs. However, this is not meant for the average driving. If you need a car that needs to go past your battery range consistently, then you are better off with a regular gas/diesel car. However, most families in America have 2 cars. As such, one of them is ideal to convert to electric and then have available a unit like this to power the car, perhaps for a move, or a once or twice a year vacation.
They did learn. The reason why Japan went into WWII was because they imported large amounts of energy that was easily blockaded. So, they wanted to make certain that they would never again have to suffer such issues. Nukes, done right, is a moderately cheap form of energy. Of course, the 1st gen plants from the 60's are probably not the ideal systems.
You have to have a decent power to the electric cars. I have written Tesla about setting this up with a special plug (DC in, and a data connection such as ethernet).
With the approach that I am suggesting, the unit is hung on to the back. The advantage of mine is that it simply requires 2 rails under the rear bumper that you plug into. With this approach, it is easy to deal with and will work for all electric cars assuming that you have a plug on the outside of the car.
The other approach is pulling a trailer, but some ppl will be upset about the idea.
With both of these approachs, the car is designed to have as much cargo space as possible. The only issue is that 100 lbs is added for the generator/fuel-cell/etc.
I have written to Tesla and posted here about a similar idea.
Basically, most cars are driven local 95-99% of the time. But for the odd time that you are taking a vacation, you could either attach a trailer OR a pack on the back. The pack would simply plug into the frame and have a max weight of say 150 LB. From that point, the pack/trailer contains a motor/generator, a wave disc generator, a fuel cell, more batteries, or even ultra-capacitors. With this approach, it makes it possible to rent small trailer/packs for distance without having any special transmissions, etc.
While I like your thinking, you are wrong about the dams. These are dams that already exist. For example, I grew up on Wonder Lake, IL. The dam on it is about 25-30' tall. It is perfect for adding a couple of 100's up to a MW of power. And more importantly, it is CHEAP to do.
So sad that you do not have a clue.
1) 50-100 years is LONGER than a fossil fuel plant and much much longer than any of the AE plants.
2) These dams already exists and will be converted to make use of hydroelectric.
Here in western USA, we have a number of reservoirs that do not have hydroelectric on them. These will most likely be modifed in the future to have that. Some of these will generate 100's of MW or more. In addition, it is a certainty that Colorado WILL build one large reservoir in the west. The reason is that if we do not, we will see Californa, Nevada, and Az contine to steal our water. It is a case of use it or lose it. That large reservoir (most likely 2-forks) will produce something close to a gigawatt or more.
Seriously, there is a lot of evidence that the system is being gamed to simply keep the falling companies on top. Murdoch is just one. The labels are right up there as well. No doubt if we look, we will find the *IAA's are up to their own BS as well.
The dual stack SHOULD only exist for a year or two. After that, the ISPs then drops the dual and only presents IPv6 first to all businesses, and then in another 6 months to all clients. The issue is that we need to have 1-2 years to shake it out. And it will take that long for ppl to realize what changes they need to do.
To make all this happen, the large hosting services and major ISPs should come to agreement on this. This is more true for the major ISPs in markets where they compete. For me, that is comcast and century link. If they both offer the dual stack at the same time, and then drop IPv4 at the same time, but only after giving businesses time to change their sites,
BTW, the nervana that you describe in the 2'nd paragraph is what many of us enjoyed in the 80's. I had my own class C at no costs. I got it from the university and then in the early 90's from the local ISP. The reason is that IPs were plentiful. Then it changed by '96. It will be nice to regain a decent network. I have hated this NAT bs.
I want qwest/century link to get moving on IPv6. They WERE moving to it before century link merged with them. Now, they are going backwards. We need large ISPs to move ASAP to IPv6 to free up IPv4s.
This gov. ceased by the congress of all and is now the congress of foreign gov. such as China, Illegals, Big businesses, Unions, and esp. the very wealthy. It will remain that way until we prevent politicians from taking outside money.
It will be several years before it is ready to launch on a TEST flight. It will cost 300 million PER COPY. To launch it will costs 200 million. It will last 200 days in orbit. It will hold 5-6 ppl.
The dragon seats 7, has already done its test flights, in orbit of 1-2 years, and costs less than 100 million to BUILD AND LAUNCH.
Any reason why you want a compromised craft that will not be ready until private space is actually flying regular human flights for 2-5x the costs?
Seriously, one of the hidden issues on the ISS is that the crews are split. Lets assume that SOMETHING happens in the middle of the station. That would seperate the western group from the souyz. Once the dragon is rated for cargo, it would actually be good if it got enough of a life support and seats put into place to launch a dragon up there and dock it there. According to SpaceX, it has a life of 1 year. Once dragon or any other western craft is human rated, then stop the life boats.
Pets? No. They are my responsibility, which is not much different than my pets. I make certain that my pets do not attack others. Likewise, since the law REQUIRES that my children attend school, it is my RESPONSIBILITY to get them there, with exceptions allowed (sickness, weather, etc).
Finally, as a parent, I want to make my children capable of having a happy and fullfilling life. Do you think that without an education they can do that? Seriously?
Depending on where I have worked, I had badges that I had to wand in as I entered and excited. So, work knows when I come and go. It has been this way for 30+ years.
How is this any more intrusive other than it is about parents tracking their underage kids?

which burn regardless of what man does. And many of those were NOT caused by mining. IOW, it is a naturally occurring.
Why not look at it?
It is being developed and will come along. Like any new tech, it takes time to develop.

Exactly. RootStrikers.org.
Nice thought, but they are all corrupt. We need RootStrikers.org to get done with cleaning up our politicians via constitutional amendments.

You are kidding, right? Lets see. Anti-gay laws. Invasion of nations that have NOTHING to do with anything.
