So instead, we should use LOADS more coal plants and simply allow the mercury and other poisons to dump in the oceans?
Me, I will take a balanced approach and push to have a medium amount of all of the AEs. Also, add in nukes.
Staying the Iraq is NOT going after the pubs that did this. If we want to make certain that this kind of behavior does not occur again, than ALL of the top ppl who were involved in lies, etc should be in prison for a LONG time.
I am not convinced of that, and that is the problem. We really do not know what obama will do. OTH, We DO KNOW that McCain has for the last decade fallen in line with the neo-cons. As such, I CAN NOT vote for him. They are the ones that have ran up monster deficits, invaded countries for no reason literally, and are so incompetent that when given the best military of the world AND the best advice from said military STILL botches it by believing that they are more intelligent.
we invaded and occupied a country, have allowed the pubs that did this to remain in office, and it appears that the dems are going to do nothing about it. All in all, it does not speak well of us Americans. I know that many other countries allow their traitors and criminal politicians to get off scot-free. But we are Americans. This is NOT suppose to happen. Sadly, we allowed reagan off with all that he did. Likewise, Clinton for lying (though it was a lie on a question that should never have been asked of him). And now this. Interestingly, pubs and dems made more of a todo about Clinton, than they have about W.. Supposedly, Obama will pursue this if he gets into office and has said that he will free up ALL previous president records (except those for national security). I just hope that he keeps his word. He has already broken the one about accepting public funding only.
For a start, SpaceShipTwo is simple a bigger version of an already tested craft, which was in development for longer than Ares I has. Second, Ares I is a much, much bigger vehicle. It will be able to heft 25t into orbit (not a pissy little suborbital trajectory)
Hate to point this out, but Ares I is also just a bigger version of a current booster combined with a slightly improved old engine (all had been fully tested in LOADS of production). IOW, spacex AND NASA are doing the same thing.
The real difference is that the comparison is false since it is between a spacecraft in the lowest of orbits vs. a rocket that goes to at least leo.
But I would say that there is no reason to get snarky about it. Many of us who believe in NASA also believe in private enterprise. It is not one vs. the other. I will say that while I am not sold on ares I, I am a fan of the Ares V. We will need that kind of tonnage if we are really shooting for the moon (or mars) again. In addition, it will enable us to launch major sats across the solar system. Now, I just hope that we can afford to do it.
End of the month should be fun. Spacex, Scaled/Virgin. It seems like the private world is making more and more splashes. Here is to hoping that all the splashing is good.
and big oil (or you) really care about somebody trying to get by with high heating oil/energy costs??????
Even as a Libertarian, I can tell you that it is BIG money that tries hard to create monopolies/oliglopolies, avoid the law, charge outlandioush amounts of money, and hates being taxed. I do not agree with all the tax attitudes that some have, and I really hate the feds give price supports via tax cuts, direct aid, etc. But I will say that those hippies push that .
those instruments were KNOWN to sound better when first created. I would suspect that value may go down a bit, but will stay high due to name. OTH, I would be very surprised if new instruments are not made of very finely selected wood. In fact, I would guess that new trees would be planted for just this.
Google has prevented govs. from seeing its direct user data (though google does help all govs to see derived data and of course, the feds (such as NSA) can ALL of the networks, so they already see who is making what request). And here in the USA, our courts have upheld that. But, assume that the feds want some set of data related to exactly WHO saw what (which the feds most likely can not see unless they know the IP of the person). Now, they can sic a company like viacom on Google and have the data be transfered. And yes, Viacom is all to happy turn over your data to the FBI, who also has access to the above data via W's patriot act.
CU is in trouble. Economists, not scientists, keep saying that within a decade, all KNOWN supplies of major copper reserves will be used. In part, it is because we are about to move to huge electrical system throughout BRIC and they want similar amenities to the west. Add in changing ICE to electrical (it will be happening over the next 5 years), and yes, you are looking at MAJOR reserves being gone.
I have given this a lot of thought to this very issue over the last year. I have recycled since 1967(boy scouts). Seem like the right thing. But China is now running around buying up mines of just about everything that they can ESP. the items that they have say 20-40% of world-wide reserves. After thinking about this, I think that we are making a number of mistakes.
1) We should not be sending items like disposed-of electronics to other nations. Instead, bury it in specially prepared dumps. Literally. Let nature work on getting rid of the carbon in there. This means that once an element is scarce, then we have readily available stockpiles of it.
2) Take an accounting of exactly what is trying to be cornered by any country. In particular, note when a country is attempting to buy old mines that no longer appear to have large seams in it. Good chance that they know something about the mineral AND is looking to control something in the future.
3) spend some money on recycling tech. It is what we will need to cheaply and efficiently go back to our old dumps and pull out elements from them.
4) Consider turning our recent dumps (esp. from the 70's, 80's, and 90s), from an EPA site, to a national reserve.
Who is the nut job?
The one who reads somebody's past postings and declares them neo-con predicated on it
OR the person that ACKNOWLEDGES that said pubs are criminals, but then wants to elect them predicated on the dems may or may not take the pubs down?
Not only is your logic flawed (like a neo-con), but you are a liar as well.
Thanks to this man I will never believe again, and I will vote republican across the board, even as a staunch progressive libertarian, until the democrats wake from their sleep.
And yet, looking through your previous postings, it is obvious that you ARE a republican, not a libertarian. Nice move. You are worthy of working with W or Rove.
What is interesting on the moon is that there appears to be loads of lava tubes in the poles. And that is were the solar energy can be used. OTH, using solar at the equator does not make much sense. You will have to provide storage, OR beam the energy to a location.
As to uranium/thorium on mars, I was under the impression that it has not been proven that there is any quantaties there. OTH, japan recently PROVED that several spots on the moon has very high concentrations of it. High enough that if it were on earth, we would be mining it.
It was killed by Clinton. SSC had been pushed by pubs and ran into massive budget overruns due to being built in about the worse possible location, Texas. I am guessing that you have not spent time there. Take a look at the red river. There is a REAL reason why it got that name and color. Texas all the way through to southern cal are about the worse place to dig something like this. The land is hard and difficult to dig. In fact, few homes in these areas have basements because of how hard the land is to dig. Had Poppa Bush put thing in Illinois where ALL the scientists and engineers wanted it, it would be operational.
The reason is that the Saudi's have befriended China. The chinese gov. is more than happy to support any gov that helps them (though many could argue that is what we are doing). For example, China was all to happy to send arms to Mugabe in Zimbabwae. Fortunately, that was stopped by South Africa, once it was exposed.
Within 5 years, our imports from OPEC is going to drop dramatically. This will be due to both Algae oil/gasoline( of which several companies are moving into small scale production) as well as our moving to electrical transportation (in particular, if EESTOR is for real). At that time, China MAY step in and support the house.
These ppl can not even design a decent web site. It was soo bad that google dropped them. If they are incapable of doing something that easy, how can you trust them to design a rocket. Even NASA has said so.

that was not a review and a change. Feminist mom was simply carping on a whim. There was no thought given to the issue.
If you are really 49 y.o., then you should be past taking offense at such silly items. Get over it.
And I say this as a 49 y.o. c programmer as well.

Hmmmm. A number of these plants have been around for up to 50 years. Why the concern at just this time? And what concern do you have about it?
the fact that we already have a number of these in place for nearly 50 years makes me think that we have very little to worry about.
and big oil (or you) really care about somebody trying to get by with high heating oil/energy costs??????

W. has been killing our dollar in the international world. Now, all of our coins are worth more as metal, than as money. Sad.

yeah, right. Those are SOOOOO libertarian in nature. Socialized medicine. Corporate Accountability. Yeah, thats the ticket.
Lots of pubs are calling for exactly what you call for. You are a pure pub.
the pubs allow FBI to use business to spy on ALL Americans. Now, will the dems allow the business to spy on all Americans as well?
