Instead, we should be working on a new small power plants that can burn the 'waste', and then bury what remains. The fact is, that there is loads of energy left (hence the long half-life). So, if we burn it up via IFR or some other process, then we need just a little storage site. In addition, if the reactors are designed small, they can be manufactured and shipped to the site, loaded with the 'waste', and then simply burn it for the next 50-100 years.
And like McDonalds, it works great for the little ones. Sadly, my kids love it because of the playground and toys. Other than not being healthy and employing loads of illegals, it is not that bad.
Well, the same is true of javascript. Stanford can use it to teach coding fundementals and still allow the kiddies a much easier transfer to say java, C++, and C.
would be to have the ability to drop a circle into another. IOW, the ability to create friends, family, and then 'friends & family'.
So, it still requires work. But overall, I think that we are going to drop facebook (like anybody ever can) and simply switch to google plus.
None of the employees or execs are allowed to own regular sold stock. This is stock available ONLY to the employees and is not available to the general public. IOW, pump/dump or break it up, has not use to the employees/execs.
This model takes it back to pre-reagan (i.e. no regular stock by execs), but still leaves an avenue for employees/execs to share into profits. This actually drives companies back to long-term profits, rather than short-term stock run-ups.
Could not agree more. THat is why I push the idea of employee stock that is all that employees, including execs, can own. With that approach, the ONLY thing that they get is if the company is held together for a long, long time. IOW, they get future bonus/dividend if they help vote in decent managers.
We need to remove the incentives for execs to break up companies.
We need to continue hitting inside of pakistan. The fact that AQ is attacking Pakistan gov. is because they are upset that we are destroying them and pakistan gov. has been helping. Always keep in mind that AQ has the same mind set of neo-cons (two sides of the same coin): If you are not with us, you are against us. Simple as that.
actually, shareholders are SCREWED by companies today. The ones coming out ahead are the execs. They break up companies and make sure that they get their money. What is needed is to return to the days when execs are not allowed to own regular stock. What is needed is a new type of stock that is ONLY owned by ALL employees and can only be sold back to the company. When bonuses are paid, it is paid to that stock and everybody gets it based on that. What this does is push companies back to bonus/dividends over a LONG PERIOD OF TIME, rather than artificial run-ups of stock values.
Seriously, we should not have sold off chrysler and simply bailed out GM. The problem in America is that America's business school are in charge of far too many of our businesses. These are basically neo-cons who think short terms rather than long-term or what is good for everybody. An engineer who is in charge would keep everything local so that they can deal with issues quickly. An American MBA has no real knowledge so they trust that others will botch everything and they can pass the blame.
Actually, it is not. All of that runs in virtual lans, going over the same physical cables as the net inside of ATT, Verizon, Qworst, etc. Worse, many of the VLANS are using Chinese made equipment which makes it all prone to cracking. Simply put, we need MULTIPLE PHYSICAL infrastructures. We have loads of dark cables. Does not matter where that is made. However, the electronics absolutely needs to be western made.
To take this further, the equipment on it should be done in the west ONLY. We need to know that it will not be taken down by China when they finally decide to attack.
The west, not just America, needs MULTIPLE networks. In particular, there should be one for DOD, another for utilities such as Power, water, etc, and other for general commerce. The DOD and utilities should NOT be connected in any fashion with the general internet. In addition, the DOD one should be limited to friends, only.
Seriously, far far better to spend money on R&D rather than providing subsidies that push planting corn, while having other subsidies that says to take fields out of production. Makes zero sense. We would be better doing the R&D and then keeping the companies local rather than selling them to Chinese companies (that makes ZERO sense).
1) THis is the HOUSE's bill, not CONgress. This is the side of CONgress that is under control by neo-cons and tea* (more of the former). It still has to go through the Senate which is under Dems control.
2) The bill attempts to pretty much kill earth Sciences esp. that devoted to Climate Change.
3) The bill attempts to pretty much kill Private Space efforts esp. CCDEV (which is about launching humans into space).
4) The bill attempts to pretty much kill interplanetary space efforts.
So, what will there be?
THe SLS. They want all of the money to flow to the Communist Jobs bill called SLS, otherwise, known as Senate Launch System. Needless to say that this bill will die as it sits. But it shows where neo-cons/tea* are coming from. They prefer putting money into their friends pockets, rather than allowing true competition to exists. The USA will be damned if they control CONgress and WH ever again.
Actually, we have not hit peak hydro. That is why Chu is pushing this. Several studies show that we can increase our hydro output by 50-75%.That is a huge jump. It would take us from 7% to 10-12% of total power. Now, does that compare to potential in Canada, South America, or China? Nope. Not even close. However, this is easily reachable and relatively quick to do so.
Well, that is why I like the idea of Great Point Energy. They want to convert Coal into Natural Gas (syn fuel). What is interesting is that it will produce a CLEAN stream of CO2. The process even scrubs the rest of the chemicals into SEPARATE elements. All of these are sell-able. Now, you might not think of it as such, but there is a LARGE demand for CLEAN CO2.
Shortly, it will form our plastics, rather than using Oil. That will be amazing if they get it working.
Finally, it can be sold to inject into the ground to extract natural gas and even oil.
And of course, GPE gets to sell the methane as well.
Smart operation.
You really need to read.
Coal today is less than 45% of American electricity
More importantly, the question is what is the trend, Look here
You will see that coal use rose through the time until 2005. Then it started falling. Now, part of that COULD be the neo-con's recession. But it is not. Look at the other energy sources. THey all rose except for one year with AE.
Coal is withering. Heck, here in Colorado, we are going to tear down something like 5 coal plants and replace them with natural gas and AE.
Coal's only real chance is to convert to natural gas by using GreatPoint or other means and then piping it around the nation. Likewise, you then pump the CO2 underground, or sell it for chemical use (for example, sugar beets need it for sugar production).
Plenty of medium size projects around the USA. We no longer have LARGE 10-12 GW hydro type projects, but we have plenty that are 100-500 MW sizes. And 1000s are available in the 50-100 MW size. Interestingly, there are many dams that require a re-build and can be turned into a hydro-generator at the same time.
If AMerica goes through with Kyoto, all of the other exempted nations (basically none western) will decide to compete against China in getting companies to move there. They will follow CHina's lead. ANd considering that China is the most heavily polluted nation on this earth and now accounts for the majority of the pollution around the world (and increasing it constantly), it is a bad example to follow.
Absolutely it is. However, the bulk of manufacturing in the world from 50-late 70's was America. America still remains one of the largest manufacturers in the world. The issue is that the patents that I have seen are for items from the 50-70's. And all of the examiners were foreigners. They obviously had not seen these items and more importantly, these items were obviously not patented. Back then, it was expensive to pick up a patent, so most ppl just skipped doing them.
Now, these foreign-born have no clue of the wide variety of items that existed so they are giving HORRIBLE patents. They are making a bad situation WORSE.
a Bigelow unit added by 2013/2014. Seriously. This could be used for commercial space by private space companies. They could put up more astronauts for short visits.
What did I make up? Have you worked with USPTO? I have. As I said, I am now dealing with the issues because these ppl did not have PRIOR ART KNOWLEDGE.
As I said earlier, having knowledge of PRIOR ART is needed. The patents that I will have to fight now, are because these examiners have ZERO PRIOR ART from our earlier times. Keep in mind that during the 50-70's, America WAS the main manufacturers in the world. Bar none. But many of our products were made and sold HERE. There are many many products that never made it overseas. As such, if you were not in this nation, and did not see the items, then you have little experience with the PRIOR ART HERE. And please show me where I have said 'those foreigners took ur jerbs'.

Exactly.
Odd, that he has not apologized. KIlled paper and wants to get rid of all evidence. Yet, he has not apologized. Worthless POS.

Cisco IS a chinese company. Their top ppl are Americans, but all of the manufacturing is done in CHina. So, this is just China spying on Chinese.
