You are really clueless about construction techniques here.
First off, back in katrina, we DID import some dry wall from China. We all know how that has gone. However, we stopped importing that LONG again. In addition, nearly all of it went into re-building katrina homes, not new construction.
My outside of the house is James Hardie concrete impregnanted board. TO drill through it, you need a diamond bit
plywood on the outside, not chipboard.
shingles, yes, though, I want to convert to metal when we get hit by a hail storm.
Minimum framing? 2x6 in mine. And I DEFINITELY want the metal places
Where do you live that you think that places are built that way? I live in Colorado (not an expensive place; $350-450K is the range for this neighborhood), and the average home is not built the way that you describe. However, they also do not go overboard. Engineering is such that these homes are DESIGNED and built to last 100 years plus.
But it sounds like you live in texas or Florida (both are notorious for cheap cheap cheap homes).
And the reason for the solar it because it forces homes to be upgraded, OR for many more solar panels to be installed. The builder will prefer the upgrade. So, will the home owner.
Seriously, in the USA, construction has all but died. What is currently going is high-end homes and business (including apartment).
What would make sense at this time, would be to require that all new buildings in the lower 49, to have 1/2 or more of monthly HVAC done by Solar PV. Now, that sounds like a lot, but it really is not. What it WILL do is encourage construction firms to increase insulation esp. on windows. In addition, it will encourage builders to move to geothermal heat pumps. The reason is that they are cheap to install up front, but most importantly, they have similar energy requirements winter and summer.
By requiring this, it will also make these places NOT compete against for-closed places. That later part is very important. The reason is that it prevents new homes from competing.
I suspect that electric cars or serial hybrids equiped with wave generator or even fuel cells will replace the ICE that these lasers would be good for.
As soon as comcast allows any computers to sign up for IPv6, the switch will happen QUICKLY (as in 2-4 years). The reason is that all of the other companies, client and server ISPs, will be under extreme pressure to either dual stack, or to switch.
The CHinese gov. is in a cold war with the west. They show this daily with their manipulation of the yuan, their subsidization, their dumping, etc. More importantly, there is little doubt that the crackers in China are working for their gov. This is all the while they have the largest military build up in history.
Hell, even google has been cracked by insider spies.
It is time for American gov. and ideally, western gov. to pull back all of their hardware and require that they be manufactured in friendly nations.
In light of neo-cons pushing Constellation and now SLS, as well as their constant push for big oil and coal, I am waiting for neo-cons/tea* to state that private ownership is limited to one company.
I really want to take exception to this, but I can not. Sadly, you are right on the money, with one little issue. China is in a cold war with the west. They intended to destroy America, followed by EU, than Canada. They hope to pull Australia, Japan, South Korea, and even India into their sphere.
What a stupid thing to say. China is in this to destroy the west. They have more barriers to trade TODAY (over 400 and increasing) then when Clinton made the deal with them less than 90 back then. They manipulate their money against the dollar and subsidize ANY business that is failing.
And you think that they will outsource to the USA or even EU?
Seriously?
This was expected. HOPEFULLY, we can get China to unfix their money from the dollar. As it is, they will likely try to get their Yuan as a reserve money. If so, then bric wil effectively kill themselves. Any nation that manipulates their money in the way that China has, will do so against others and seek to destroy them as well.
There is little doubt that the dollar is going to lose reserve status. China's manipulation, combined with W and now Obama doing little, has seen to that. HOWEVER, OPEC and a few other nations, are pushing, wisely, for a return to a gold standard. If that comes about, then the Yuan will have no choice but to be unfixed. At that time, China will lose all of their advantages.
You would think that he would be opposed to Illegals as well as China's manipulation of economic situation. Instead, he wants to blame IPad. Tomorrow it will be Android. Of course, later, we will find paychecks from MS or Bill gates.
The fact is, that SCO was NEVER about SCO or Unix. It was MS and Sun behind this. Now, MS has moved on to many many more targets. She is needed more now than ever. If I were in Google, I might consider ways to help her out financially.
Far less leakage, and less chance of home builders skipping putting in ethernet. All new homes should be wired and not counting on wifi to do the trick.
Nope. Totally different things. In your example, you use pretty wicked chemicals under extreme pressure to force open cracks. With what I am talking about, you pull water out as steam which drops the pressure a bit, but then re-inject the water back into it, which slowly raises the pressure back up to what it was.
What you are talking about is EGS. It is about drilling DEEP and then injecting below the bedrock. Minor tremors would be expected, but nothing major.
As confused one speaks about, you want a closed loop in shallow well. THat is not a big deal. The reason why the only small one was shot down, is that they were not injecting back. As such, they were depleting the water out of the system. That would destroy geysers all over. And few want to see old faithful gone.
While we all want to see them go after these companies, the fact is, that net sales have been costs feds, states, and of course smaller retailers for quite some time. But hey, if we roll back a number of W's tax cuts, we can get those companies as well.
We have been allowing Brick/Mortars to take it in the shorts. Instead, we need a level playing ground.
However, the real issue will be those companies that move their net operations offshore, or those that are offshore.
One approach is to disallow offshore sales UNLESS they register and then record the taxes owed. But I doubt that this will work.
Lets tap it for geo-thermal. The issue with a previous attempt is that they simply pulled the steam from it. Instead, it should be a recycling generator in which it re-injects the water back into the ground.
Have you ever tried that? Much easier to move them to something sane, rather than something that is the near opposite of what they are. Heck, many would rather be satanists, then atheists.
Stop illegal aliens and slow immigrants from going to nations where they already have a low birthrate. That will put pressure on nations who have not learned to control their own birthrates.
Then fund protestants to convert roman catholics,mormons and muslims. Once you do that, then you will get ppl to use birth control and look beyond their church. Finally, figure out how to slow down Africa.
While I think that what you are up is interesting (for starters, it will pick up more CO2), There is another choice, which is to increase the amount of soil that is devoted to a plant, by removing others. One that I see an issue with, is sugar beets. It would be quite a bit simpler to modify algae, or even Cyanobacteria to emit sucrose. With that approach, we could take Sugar beets our of production and devote the land to wheats, corn, etc.
Regardless, good luck with your efforts. Most ppl do not realize it, but we are heading towards a wall WRT food.
And yet, none of plants mentioned had their leaves eaten. Instead, it is seeds that are eaten. As such, the colors of the parts eaten should not change.
This is designed to take out missiles that you can see, but are flying at mach 10 or less. This is ideal for what it was built for, and will likely do decently.
As far as hitting over the horizons, well, there is that rail gun being worked on. They already have a 32 MJ and are actively at work on a 64 MJ and in some circles, the claim is a 128 MJ. With a 32 MJ, the shell will traveled at Mach7+ and went over 100 miles. It is expected that the 64 MJ will travel in excess of 200 miles. Both are WELL over the horizon.
In addition, a rail gun pointed downwards, MIGHT be useful.

The idea of using cyanobacteria is that we turn back into net EXPORTERS, not importers.
