I thought I was on Slashdot... but apparently I'm on the ONION.
Or Slashdot editors have just given up all pretense about being impartial news reporters.
Why is this appearing on Slashdot now? Especially with such a misleading headline. The kkk ties were debunked last month. He actually spoke to the Jefferson Heights Civic Association. The kkk associated group used the same conference room later in the day. He had already left by then. And all this is from investigation done by Slate which is a super liberal news blog.

You're right, the Leaf most directly competes with the Volt or even the Prius.
Leaf's biggest problem is their thermal management is under-engineered. Both the Volt and the Tesla have much more thoroughly engineered thermal management systems. It may use up some of the range keeping the battery warm/cool depending on outside conditions but it does a great job keeping the battery from losing half its maximum capacity after only a year.
Why is this marked insightful? Mod this down!
Fish gills separate oxygen that's been dissolved in water. They do not separate oxygen from the water molecule!
I remember Coca-Cola looked into credit card readers for their vending machines during the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the credit card fees back then made the concept completely untenable. I'd be willing to bet a buck that this has more to do with their Coca-Cola Freestyle fountains which automatically phone home whenever a flavor cartridge is low or empty. There might be a ridiculously huge rollout all at once of the machines, like at McDonalds. So far they've only been installed at a few test McDonalds and a few other chains that don't have nearly the coverage of McD's.
So when you run out of hydrogen, driving around looking for a non-existent hydrogen fuel station, you're somehow not going to have to pay that $300 for a tow?
I'd done the research myself already. Wood is way more expensive than natural gas unless you grow your own... and Trees take a lot of space and time to grow. And thats an awful lot of work to plant them and then harvest them.
I've seen systems that use pellets made from the sawdust swept up from sawmills. That is a lot more cost effective than cut wood.
His information is a bit out of date. He said 4K Blu-Ray was still in development. However, you can already buy 4K Blu-Ray players. You can also buy a very limited selection of 4K Blu-Ray discs like Ghost Busters. That being said, the prices for all the equipment required is still going to be overpriced for at least a couple more years and there still won't be a whole lot of content available for a couple more years. So wait a couple years before buying into 4K.
Obviously there are subsidies to encourage buying solar panels. However, whats really burning the utilities is how the pricing is worked out in Germany. The utilities have to pay top tier price for small scale solar power (ie if you have solar panels on your roof, generating an excess). The way the ends up working is that each kilowatt hour your neighbors put into the grid, the more you have to pay to pull power from the grid. More solar power drives the price up.
I don't see how this can last long term. California has a much more common sense approach - equal pricing. The utilities have to pay you back equal to what you would pay.
Most other US states, the utilities can pay you back less than they charge you.
I used to spend a LOT of time tweaking settings in Win 98 to get ancient DOS games working right, getting the sound working, getting strange types of DOS era "virtual memory" setup. Even for a lot of Win 95 era games, you'd have to change your Win 98 colors back down to 256 or things like animations wouldn't work.
DOSbox has made things so much easier.
I would bet it would run on the VIC-20. Maybe not the.C64 disk image but the source code. VIC-20 had only 5K RAM but it had a full 6502 CPU. Although they have entirely different video chips.
Using "Democrat" as an adjective is a Republican smear campaign that is partly perpetuated by Fox News
I assume then that you don't have any qualms with the constant use of "Repbulican" as an adjective on MSNBC and the endless claims of all republicans being rich old white men... and the unceasing claims that being white men makes them automatically evil.

I think its amazing that you don't know Google still owns Motorola. The Lenovo deal isn't finalized or approved yet.
You're forgetting about the whole sticking your head on a spike part.
I've been using a pair of LED lightbulbs from GE for 5 years. In my master bathroom so they get plenty of use. Bought them at Sam's Club.

Moses Lake, Washington has a 2.5 cents/kWh industrial rate. Commercial rate less than 5 cents. Its all hydroelectric.

None of the companies mentioned are owned wholly by international banks. Each of them are publicly traded companies. Anyone can own them.

A fuel cell is just a different type of battery.
Give me coal any day, what have you got against the hillbillies working their butts off in Appalachia? You insensitive clod!
It can't be that far off, they've already got an EV that's similar size, luxury, features and price to a full size luxury car.
You foolish mortal. Properly formatted tags are invisible.

So what did you do today?
Oh nothing, just flew 1000 MPH completely blind.

They did release their own OS, a crappy one based on Ubuntu. Nobody uses it.

Where did you get that targeting a religious group is acceptable from?
If you have an iPhone you could get a mophie case. It adds durability and batter
From this point, I'm going to assume that you were in a stasis chamber during the last election run-up.
