Introduced by a Democrat and co-sponsored by a Republican is a good thing. It might have a better chance of getting through committees and the Senate, even though this looks a lot like election year posturing.
If people in India and around the world would use more local wind power this wouldn't happen.
Oh really? What makes you say that? Wind power absolutely requires a grid to handle the extra power when it's generating and supply power when it's not.
Even if their power grid hadn't collapsed they're having trouble meeting demand because of the weak monsoon lowering reservoirs. Fission power should last a several hundred years.
On the one hand, it sounds reasonable to work with China now when they have a reason to work with us rather than wait until they've passed what NASA can do. On the other hand, given their history they would almost certainly learn whatever they can however they can, then cease cooperating once they've sucked away all the technology anyway. I don't see any benefit to the US in working with them.
Every consumer needs to understand that most of these gun safes are produced in China. They may look secure but they are not, for a variety of reasons, all based upon poor to non-existent security engineering practices. Their manufacturers, in my view, do not have the slightest expertise in designing these kinds of products.
Except it appears investors didn't bite, and the banks ended up holding a disproportionate number of shares which are now in free fall. Generally, insiders need to hold their shares for a certain time, so the initial price is irrelevant. Today it wouldn't matter to Zuckerberg if the offer price was $35 or $23, but the banks shot themselves in the foot by transferring their money to Facebook's balance sheet. Not that I'm crying for them.
There are many "people's" lobbies. The common perception of them is that they represent special interests, which of course they do. Think unions, NRA, Tea Party, etc. Yea, I hear the screaming that the ebil corporations are behind some of them, but for the most part they're supported by people with an interest in the subject. That's how politics works.
I was thinking more about the stories of photographers being arrested at OWS protests and claiming it was somehow wrong because they had a piece of paper on a lanyard around their neck. The fact that they were also blocking traffic didn't count, because they were members of the press!!!
The order makes a lot of sense. But I wonder why anyone thought reporters had special rights. Freedom of the press means they can print what they want, but when they're on the scene the press pass doesn't mean anything.
VA is a lot better at providing care and managing costs than they were about 20 years ago. They also have a couple of built in advantages over other healthcare providers, a large part is that VA hospitals and physicians don't need malpractice insurance because they're immune from malpractice lawsuits.
Where was the fault with the anti-fracking science that led to these regulations?
RTFA. Despite extensive testing there was never any detectable radioactivity in public water sources. The regulations were put in place because of emotion, not science.
Natural gas in well water is quite common in coal regions (e.g. much of Pennsylvania). It's also common for hydrogen to build up in water heaters. So yea, I wouldn't say "normal", but the flaming tap water is unlikely to have anything to do with gas drilling a few miles away.
As I read it, the article concludes that people who distrust authority tend to trust climate change scientists but are skeptical of nuclear scientists, while people who trust authority tend to be skeptical of climate change scientists but more trusting of nuclear scientists. The conservative/liberal angle is yours, but both groups are selective in what science they trust or distrust. From the article:
Egalitarian Communitarians possessed of high science literacy and numeracy were most likely to diverge from the mean subject’s presumed underestimation of climate change risks. Yet on nuclear power risks, those same respondents shared the mean subject’s presumed overestimation of the dangers of nuclear power. Likewise, Hierarchical Individualists who displayed high science literacy and numeracy were the least likely to see nuclear power as unsafe but the also the most skeptical of climate change.

To their credit, it was an IRS audit the reported those refunds. After the fact, unfortunately.

Probably more like "I see you didn't take the anti-psychotic medication that's part of your parole conditions..."

And this is unpublished, and will almost certainly be ripped to shreds when it gets submitted, like most of the other trash he submits
Sure looks like an attack on the man to me.

And the other 20% is from idiots who still buy banner ads.
Lobbing humans into orbit and lobbing nukes aren't all that different, after all.
Which of course was why the US developed the capability send a man to the Moon. Smokescreen for Kennedy's real agenda.

That is all.

Just wondering, in case it's ever an issue.
Yea, it's working so well for the thousands of people being killed in Syria.
She can't dictate what rights you have. But she can issue orders to the Metro Police Department. Which is what she did.

Most business owners will tell you that advertising pays. It annoys most people, but potential customers respond to it. Everyone else doesn't matter.
The Brooklyn Bridge is over 130 years old. No reason a properly designed and maintained reactor couldn't last that long as well.

He was one of several sponsors of the Senate bill that made the Internet more available to the general public.
Apparently MS got the go ahead to drive users who care to Jitsi. This way they know where to listen for the good stuff.
