Gee thanks I am sure without you telling me what was meant I wouldn't of known
Anyway seeing as I was actually around for the time frame in question and you weren't
It means exactly what was said. IE if you fund fusion it's 20 years away. Well it's been nearly 70 years
We have vastly better control systems, vastly better ways to model the magnetic fields, superconductors, far improved high temperature materials, and far superior power control and management systems.
You know there was no amount of funding that was going to make all that happen by 1970 or 1990 or 2000 and you know what else we are still far away from breakeven.
So you know what your chart tells people ? It tells people just how much you like it when people feed you shit.
I notice you aren't actually replying to anything I said. I will just point out what your premise actually says with examples
1. Problems with using horses for transport were not resolved by finding new ways to deal with horse poop bu by the automobile
2. Shortage of whale oil for lighting were solved by refining crude oil into kerosene. Kerosene burning down everything solved with electricity
So if someone was pessimistic about the prospects of horse transport, or whale oil lamps in their respective futures they were quite correct and anyone who said things like we will find someway to have less horse poop or mechanical systems to handle it, or said we could make advances in breeding whales was an idiot.
Slashdotters are in love with Solar and Wind despite their obvious problems. It's much more likely that better technologies such as Nuclear or possibly Geothermal will replace or displace them as they bump up against their limits.
No C88 is correct. It's mostly wishful thinking in play here. Slashdotter's really want to believe in a solar powered future where they don't have to pay the evil power companies, so they are willing to assume that they will happen. Fusion power is another given even though most of the people who originally claimed it was real close are dead now.
The way Google, Facebook, and Twitter have been neutral and non evil has me routing for the ISP's to launch competing services and throttle the hell out of the big three, until you get seconds per frame out of youtube, and can't reach facebook or Twitter at all.
So I am pretty glad the rules got repealed now, and seeing as both my senators are now Republicans I'll be writing them to ask them to keep it that way.
Oh my bad you are only paying three times what you used to instead of nearly 5. I bet the "SAVINGS" is from that really big battery you didn't need when your rates were 11 cents/KWH
At least they bought Lotus this time instead of their usual partner with the company and then waste it's resources till it's dead.
Real shame just the same. Lotus 123 was a much nicer spreadsheet than excel, their word processor wasn't bad not up to word but it could have been, and notes was far more powerful than Exchange right up to the early 2000s. Be interesting to see what the new owners do with it, I am betting on them mining the existing customer base hard. Once you are on Notes, it's very difficult to get away from it.
Going to be interesting to see what the effect on property values will be when people can't easily move stuff in and out of the area.
Since residents are not affected by the ban, and traffic is now lighter, it will be easier to move stuff in and out, and property values should soar to the moon.
Oh that's because the people that live there stock the markets and stores and make the deliveries ?
Slashdot Mirror
Oh so we should defund ITER now seeing as the German project is a stellarator not a tokomak
That's kind of amazing seeing as the cost of Iter alone is 20 billion +

and the NIF was nearly 4 Billion
https://lasers.llnl.gov/about/...
Pretty sure there's been more than 2 projects.
So now you have told us you aren't very good with financial or technical decisions ?

The same as it was in 1950

Business groups in the state and wireless carriers are against the proposal

You do realize your state is controlled top to bottom by left wing politicians ?
No multiple personalities.
Take a look at your phone bill the taxes are flat and a couple of bucks. Don't like the tax drop the service.
Don't want to pay the tax turn off texting. Your regressive tax has just become progressive.
Should tax people on a per character basis.
Good luck directing ads to me there
Dirty little secret, economic activity uses energy. Americans actually like having jobs, homes, and feeding our families.

Right down to not using triggering words, creating a big safe space, and and getting the customers to pay more than they should so they can be elite.
200+ Consultants ? That's either or a sign of the apocalypse, or time to find new employment.

If you wreck the grid first driving up your costs.
The way they do just about everything else ?
Any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
At least there are some nominal protections in how it's used not that the ACLU actually helps.
