I propose a novel approach to fight global warming. We'll remove all the filters from coal power stations and emit all that marvelous dust into the atmosphere so we can block out the sun's rays and hence reduce global temperature.
The algae farms have several issues. The difference between now and the 1980s is that the current efforts involved genetic engineering of the algae proper. See work done at UC Berkeley for example.
Still, yes, they have issues being grown in large quantities.
You know how you can reduce corruption? You have to punish both the corrupter and the corrupted.
You have to make all transactions more transparent. For example in New York's case, Amazon wanted to do a closed doors negotiation, while the local government wanted to make it public. So who was the leading agent for corruptive practices here even in a city like New York?
Oh and their location near Washington, DC is there so they can lobby the government more effectively. Think about that next time you claim that it's the polician's fault for them not being taxed properly.
There are three reactors of the same design still in operation in St. Petersburg. You know where that is right? The EU paid money to Ukraine to shut down the reactors in Chernobyl which were still operational. Otherwise they might even still be in use. And Ukrainians would have less dependency on Russian gas. Even though those reactors should have been retired like a decade ago at least.

Monaco can also pay for government expenses with their casino.
Back then the US government could make money selling Indian lands. Well, guess what, most of the good lands are gone.
Retarded lame ass excuse by Amazon. It's not even her district. It's like me saying I don't want to move to NYC because Trump Tower is there.
They pay a lot less in sales taxes than the brick & mortar stores they killed like Borders.
You are assuming Amazon's proposition wasn't a bait-and-switch to begin with.
Paraphrasing John D. Rockefeller: The good thing about investing in land is that all of it was already created when the Earth came into being.
World's richest man needs handout.
WeChat has had mobile payments for yonks.
I beats pointless cryptocurrencies i.e. wastes of electricity.
I think his "amazing products" will probably be gold plated iPhones with encrusted diamonds or some shit like that.
Except Russia, unlike China, does not have a firewall or filter global Internet access.
I remember a Chechen leader who was using a phone sat. The Russians tuned an air-launched missile to the frequency. You can guess the result.
But no, I guess it would depend on what happens.
If you would read the news their main concern is people sending data to the satellites not the opposite.

Salter is, like, the Buzzard of wave power.
I wouldn't take his claims to produce usable power to the letter.

Except it is enshrined in the US Constitution.

Amazon supposedly said they would not be searching for another location after the announcement.
Which makes me think it was a bait & switch deal on Bezo's part to begin with. Probably to squeeze more money out from Washington State as usual.
Try reading about Trump's own argument about how Amazon is a net drain on the USPS's coffers.
Remember Doubleclick.com? The lovely people behind those "Punch the Monkey" animated ads a couple decades ago? Guess who bought them.
