Here's a better discussion of skimmers. They certainly have their place and the Elastec design is very efficient.
Skimmers work on a film of oil floating on the surface, not so much for oil that has already gone into suspension under the water. This filter seems to fit the latter scenario better
6.4 years? Try to finance that with a 0% loan...counting interest the payback is much longer. You cannot ignore the cost of the loan, even if you have the money in the bank you are loaning it to yourself.
Looks like it was a pretty cool product, but it targeted a small and already crowded niche market with shoestring funding. So yea, cut their losses and move on to something else.
The guy we elected was smart, charismatic, capable, articulate; he ran a brilliant campaign that took out the heavily favored Hilary Clinton
None of the above. Other than those who were on Bill's payroll, Democrats desperately wanted an alternative to Hillary because they knew she was unelectable. Obama is the product of a $1B marketing campaign, nothing more.
A roof would have been a much better design. I'm not sure how many people who forget to charge their phones will remember to bring a USB charger to use while they wait for the bus. There will probably be an increase of lost phones on those benches too.
I read Google News because it gives several different media outlets' spin on the same story. But you need to be aware of which sites are listed and seek out coverage from the other side. They tend to give higher weight to liberal leaning media when the story is a topic liberals are more focused on. For example, the three outlets on today's SCOTUS decision against labor unions are USAToday, LA Times, and NBC, with a Huff Post opinion piece right under that list. One can assume that's just an artifact of Google's ranking based on page views since libs are more likely to read about the story on left leaning outlets, and for conservatives this is kind of a "well duh" decision.
CNN seems to send a subliminal message in their placement of stories; good news stories for Democrats and bad news stories for Republicans tend to be given more prominent coverage. More obviously biased outlets like USAToday, NBC, Huff Post, and Fox don't try to hide it.
It doesn't hurt to read both sides of the story. In this case it's pretty obvious that both sides are fudging the numbers; "energy payback" can be whatever you want it to be by including or ignoring various factors.
The argument is that adding a wind turbine to produce the extra 2MW also means adding a backup generator to use when there is no wind. You do save burning some coal when there is wind, but then you have excess capacity being carried at a fixed cost.
While it's true that Republicans tend to use proven facts and make decisions based on them (unlike liberals), I don't see anything in GP that supports your assumption that he encourages an unhealthy lifestyle. He just pointed out (correctly) the folly of assuming an unhealthy lifestyle is more expensive to taxpayers.
He didn't change the subject. He correctly responded that there are two sides to the equation. Germany has bought solar generation capacity, but they have paid a very high price.
why would a woman do all this given other options?
For the same reason men do...there's a deadline to be met. In my experience there are very good female programmers, and very bad female programmers, and many in between. Same as men. Your generalization has no basis.

Two samples, from India and Bhutan, matched polar bear 12S RNA—a surprising finding...
Are you suggesting that people selling books would stoop to planting white hair from a polar bear and claiming they saw a Yeti nearby???

Just ask Miss Teen South Carolina
TWC has 2.2 million cable TV, Internet, and phone customers in 1,150 New York communities, and hundreds of them have called...
I'm thinking that's not going to impress the FTC.
We're only getting one side of the story, and that side doesn't add up. This guy is an attention whore from way back.

That is the opposite of crowd funding. People want to have a say in where their money is spent.
Non Government Organizations have been around for decades. I suppose crowd funding makes it a little easier though.

All of the holdings of the National Archives...how much is that in Libraries of Congress?
They're note disputing the energy payback period

Canada will not be located in the tropics, but the adjective "tropical" doesn't necessarily imply geographic location.

As a basic hint, if you are being taught how to do things in one language, you could probably get the same results with Google
If all you're being taught is a language you need to find a new school.
Not only USA
5% is 5%, it doesn't matter how efficiently you store it.

That's true. But if you get in the habit of allowing (and ignoring) warnings you won't see the important ones.
