I think that the pretty good case doesn't look as good when you dig a little deeper.
The page referred to in the forum you linked to doesn't seem to have the date show by google (Dec 7, 2005) anywhere in the actual page. Archive.org doesn't show anything for the site before 2015 and... the domain name has a creation date of December 2014. It looks like Google is showing a bogus date.
Gasoline engines are so inefficient, that even if you use coal to generate electricity for your electric vehicle, it's still likely to result in less emission of carbon.
Did you hear that "whoosh" sound? It was GP's point going over your head.
His stated that not all deadly weapons require licenses in the UK, because an everyday object (such as a frying pan) can be a deadly weapon. Also, knives, etc..
March this year had exceptional weather. It was sunnier than usual , so solar power generation was higher than one would expect for this time of year.
But paying to send electricity in this manner is not new. In the UK, where generators bid to sell electricity into the grid, there have been occasions where the bids have been negative. This is because the owners of generating capacity want to keep their equipment running.
Parent talks about using solar panels as a backup during power outages, which shows the lie. Grid-tied systems are designed to shut off if the grid goes offline. Hence solar panels can not be used as a backup.
Parent poster: how much were you paid to post that?
The problem with these articles is they are written by a "think tank" that will misrepresent and lie in order to promote a predetermined point of view.
FTFY.
We all need to be aware that big money interests are using every means at their disposal, including fake think tanks, to fool the public into supporting them. This is just another example of that. In this case, the bias and factual misrepresentation are quite obvious for anyone who is slightly skeptical, but still, many people will be fooled.
The United States and European Union have, at least since the Reagan Administration, differed on this point: the U.S. is primarily concerned with consumer welfare, and the primary proxy is price. In other words, as long as prices do not increase -- or even better, decrease -- there is, by definition, no illegal behavior.
But you can't measure the difference between price in the case of a monopoly and price in the case of a competitive market. One or other won't exist. Of course, that's probably the objective of using price as the measure.
, the company's last remaining director Jean-Charles Charki, said that Vertu was insolvent and unable to meet its June 30 payroll obligations of about 500,000 euros.
Right there you have illegal behaviour under UK law.
The only real way to fix it is to force last mile owners to make their infrastructure available to competitors at cost or near cost.
This is a nightmare. Or, at least it was when it was imposed on the telcos. If you know of a way to make it work, please share with the rest of us. I'm in favor of this idea, in theory. But I've seen it crash and burn too many times in practice.
Of course it was a nightmare: they stood to lose their monopoly status.
As for not working: it works in the UK and it worked in the USA until the telcos paid off enough politicians to get rid of it.
The problem is then A/C, the washing machine, dryer.
I think that the real problem for most people is winter. When there are several days with little sunlight, a battery isn't going to get you through that.
2) Solar panels produce 300 times as much toxic waste per unit of energy output versus nuclear powerplants http://www.theenergycollective... Definitely *NOT* "green".
The simple fact that that study equates a pound of waste from solar panels to a pound of radioactive waste from a nuclear reactor shows that it is inherently biased and cannot be trusted.
FIND OUT WHAT PART OF GOVERNMENT IS CAUSING THE MONOPOLY IN YOUR AREA AND FIX IT.
Yes, I'll quickly go and fix the cost of installing the last mile wiring to my house. I'm sure that I can change the cost of installing wires.
Where I live, local governments are not allowed to give a monopoly to any one provider.
The only real way to fix it is to force last mile owners to make their infrastructure available to competitors at cost or near cost. With the current makeup of Congress and the Administration, any change there isn't going to be possible for at least 4 years.

For sure, Calibri was released with Vista, but was it included in the first beta program releases of Vista?
And if what I posted wasn't enough, the image shown on the page is a PNG image. PNG wasn't in use in 2005.

The article seems to confuse two issues: the creation of the font in 2004 and making it the default font in 2007.
If it was available in 2004, but simply not the default, then the documents could have been created with this font in 2006.
My back of the envelope calculation suggests that 1W/m2 is out by an order of magnitude. I calculated it to be about .14W/m2.
As the head of this company, it is his job to motivate employees. Otherwise known as "making them feel good".
This is yet another child with money.
That website uses out of date data to make a point about the future. It also refers to more biased sites.
Biased website is biased. Film at 11.
Seriously, the Koch brothers are spending a lot of money right now to convince people that coal has a viable future.
So the TSA is explicitly looking for drugs?
That sounds like a clear 4th amendment violation, since it unrelated to the safety of passengers.
The latest studies show that renewables are not actually unreliable and the latest offshore wind projects are not expensive.
This article discusses the USA, but I think it should also apply to offshore wind:

For a short time, until they run out of money. Without oil, the rest of the world isn't going to care about their internal strife.
I guess bullets for AK47s are cheap, but they still need to eat.

There was a program which (I think) finished recently, under which you could get an almost free battery for your house.
If you cannot pay your bills at the end of the month, and other bills, such as tax payments were already delinquent, you were trading while insolvent.
Yes, calling in the administrators is the correct thing to do, but it should have been done sooner, before the company had run out of cash.

If it's in the UK, the pay period is more likely to be one month.
Right there you have illegal behaviour under UK law.
But you can't "have" a visa waiver. The requirement for a visa is waived. You don't have anything. They let you in without a visa.
You do have to have a valid ESTA, though. But this isn't a visa either.
Of course it was a nightmare: they stood to lose their monopoly status.
