Gee i wonder how was it possible to sell strawberries decades and centuries ago without all the machinery and electronics.
Well, first of all, eating strawberries is a luxury that wasn't available in most places of the world just a couple of generations ago. Along with modern genetics you also need fast transportation and refrigeration.
But to your point, all crops were grown with cheap labor.
It sounds like they're suggesting using excess electricity to produce a liquid fuel which can be burned later.
The real question is the energy density of the fuel versus a battery. A car burning biodiesel carrying about 100 lbs of fuel should have a range of over 400 miles and be refueled in a few minutes. It doesn't really matter if it takes more electricity to produce that fuel than an equivalent electric battery powered car since the electricity was excess generation and essentially wasted anyway (and good luck getting an electric car with a 400+ mile range and recharging in a few minutes).

I would've sent them an email first. I suppose broadcasting on FB in addition to that could be useful but it wouldn't be my primary means of communication
having storage to even out the peaks means that peak demand will decrease, making the system cheaper overall.
You are assuming that battery storage is cheaper than generation capacity. I don't see anything to support that assumption, in fact I would be very surprised if it's true.
And, truth be told, they should be using these wonder-batteries to store electricity during the night so they wouldn't have to charge more during the day
Your plan would cost more than what the utilities are already doing. Doing it your way would mean they would have to charge more at night and during the day.
Subsidy just changes who pays, the total cost of the battery is still the same.
And your calculation of $13k/$50 is incorrect. Go to a bank and tell them you want to borrow $13K for 21 years at 0% interest and see what they tell you.
When you hear a company bragging about Operating Income, pro-forma earnings, EBITA, etc. instead of GAAP results you should assume they're blowing smoke. Those numbers are easily cooked and leave out too much.

Roughly two thirds of the people surveyed in the US have an opinion (or even recognize the name). You need to drill into the original survey to find that number.
Of the people who have an opinion, in the usual demographic breakouts only the 18 to 34 y/o group tends to have a positive opinion of him.
Many of the hybrids were purchased using credits from the Federal Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Now it's time to trade those vehicles in and look at the true cost of ownership of the next vehicle.

Nobody expected ethanol to save anything. Everyone knew what you said was what would happen.
A better plan would be to develop a smart charging car that can adjust its charging rate
How is that "better"? Neither of us has any numbers so we're just guessing which is cheaper to operate, lighter, safer, easier to manufacture, etc.

The same could be said about growing old.
Fossil fuel is solar energy.

The choice is grow strawberries that you can sell at a price people will pay, or don't grow strawberries.

I think there will be less hand reading so to speak, and less mind games.
Isn't that what makes the game so interesting? Any good card game involves messing with your opponent's head.

We've noticed that the slide showing the Stuxnet disassembly doesn't support Werner and Leder's comments regarding the worm and Windows 9x
It appears they misunderstood the code they were looking at. But another quote earlier in the story is more relevant anyway:
either the worm couldn't find any old Windows boxes, or perhaps the Iranian boffins were used to Windows 95 and 98 falling over anyway
Really, who would be surprised by a blue screen from a Windows 95 box?

Which is why they increased funding for Computer Science and decreased it for Social Studies and Psychology.
the "fair" thing to do would be to give the family a refund on the school district's share of their taxes
I would agree, but that opens the debate over vouchers for education. Anyone could claim the refund by stating that their child is not vaccinated.
However, I do think vouchers are a good idea in general. That would make it easier to ban the unvaccinated from public schools.

Ca a void be a structure? That doesn't seem like it would compile.
No, you can't modify the self-driving software to make your car fly. Or exceed the speed limit. Or run over small children.
Automakers don't want any more liability exposure than they already have.
