That would be more like 7 lbs of coal a day for 24 hour operation of a 200W computer.
That's assuming 8,500 BTU/lb of coal and system 30% efficiency from the coal pile at the power plant to the plug in your wall.
You either have very small swimming pool or real inefficient computer.:)
If you were to put the electical power from burning 17 swimming pools of coal a day into an electrical load in your house, it's a safe guess that your house would burst into flames in a matter of seconds.
A real motor in a real car will be doing very good to get 95% efficiency operating under real world conditions.
The power into and out of a battery cycle has much lower efficiency than that.
Then there is some loss in control circuity between the battery and motor.
And, since the motors aren't directly coupled to the wheels, there is drivetrain loss.
They would be doing good to get 60% wall plug to tire patch on the ground system efficency.
The whole 250 mpg claim is BS too. He could have just as well made the claim based on the batteries only distance and claimed infinity mpg. The guy's a huxster.
When you;re running the gas on household electricity you aren't paying any gas/diesel highway taxes. To make the comparison fair, and valid in the long run, compare it to running a diesel on home heating fuel with no road taxes.
It's a long tradition. Children have been getting more enjoyment playing with the boxes their Xmas gifts came in than the gifts themselves for decades.
That's because the boxes are often more interesting and allow more use of their minds.
At the time the US only had two nukes available to use. Testing had consisted of one test of a device similar to one of the two available. The second nuke was a completely different type than the first and completely untested. The second one was also the more complex one.
We didn't have the luxury of going into theatrics with only two nukes.
It was going to take some time (months?) to get the next nuke. We had effectively shot our wad when the nuke was dropped on Nagasaki. Fortunately the Japanese didn't know that.
More unfortunately, they and those who suck up to them have a very significant amount of power in the US gumnt. They run the administration, have a lot of influence in Congress and are working getting full control of the Supreme Court.

Investigators expect you to bend over forwards.
Bill, we already knew that.
I expected them to use Legos.
It already is.
So is your post's rating of informative.
She said the fact that women marry men is proof of their stupidity.
My take is that her comment is the real proof.
I have a feeling that nanotube cuts will be dramatic compared to good old paper cuts.

"If you only made $125k a year you'd have a tough time living in SF proper."
It would even be difficult to live decently in SF improper on $125k.
I find the idea rather remarkable for Oregon, a state where the residents aren't even deemed competent to pump their own gasoline.

Au Contraire, the sparks would fly.
That would be unnecessarily pesimistic but still far more honest than his claims.

If over 1/2 the restaurants in big cities were fake restaurants built to look like the restaurant you were looking for, yes it would be.
It's all Greek to me.
That would be a biopoly

Nice little units for gas welding that separate water into hydrogen and oxygen have also been around for a long time http://www.spectragases.com/GasGenerators/OxyHydro genGen.htm/

A fringe benfit would be that you could host your website on a serrver with very limited bandwidth.

Not a problem. We presently work up to a full day off base every 4 years.
What problems do you expect from being up to an hour off base if everyone is off the same amount?
Will this be the worlds first /. 'd snail mail box?
