Probably because that gas was coming out anyway, as the wells are tapped for the oil in them. The only thing the natural gas plants do is reduce the overall need for the oil (by taking up some of the load) and convert greenhouse gases into weaker greenhouse gases.
Cuba ought to be a really nice place to live. It's a tropical paradise for goodness' sake. Somehow, though, many would rather be HomeSec prisoners than live on the other side of that fence.
Canada on the other hand has no business being a nice place to live. It's cold for much of the year, and in some places it's dark for almost half of it. They have to send supplies to their diamond mines and oil fields over a dangerous frozen highway during a three month window in the dead of winter. Yet, somehow they manage to export delicious bacon, entertainment, and fast food restaurants.
Please explain how global temperatures can be increasing if the warmest year on record is either ten or eighty years ago, depending on how you look at the data?
So, piling up radioactive waste at hundreds of sites or transporting it by train carries less risk of the state department using it to furnish terrorists and terror-supporting nations than just burning the stuff till there's almost nothing left?
Fission very well could be, but half-vast fission we've been saddled with as a result of the Carter administration's (the one president who should've known better, btw, what with his degree in nuclear engineering) machinations.
Things tend to cost a lot more when you throw away (and have to devise elaborate means to protect yourself from) 98% of your fuel as "waste" because you don't want terrorists to be able to make nuclear bombs.
Pfft. Real programmers just think really hard, choosing the proper universe such that electrons happen to tunnel at just the right place and time to affect the magnetizer.
Even better ones choose the universe in which the atoms of the proper hard disk spontaneously tunnel into just the right configuration from across spacetime.
Is that correct? An unsubsidized iPhone is going for almost $800?
An unsubsidized iPod touch goes for $300. Is the "cell phone" part really worth almost twice as much as the whole rest of the phone? Something is very wrong here.
Having attended both private and public schools, and driven on private roads, and also in areas with privately-run fire departments and security, as a user of FedEx, and video rental stores, project Gutenberg, university libraries (and having read books which were researched with LexisNexis)..
Yeah, I can honestly say that the government-run versions of these have all been inferior.
They don't want to nuke Taiwan. The probably don't even want to nuke US.
But they do want to absorb Taiwan, and discouraging outside support through the same kind of vague threats that saw us through the cold war with minimal casualties seems like a pretty logical move on their part.
What was the point of landing on the moon? Advancement of humanity, or inspiring the nation? "Propaganda benefits", you could say. We just really, really needed to prove that we could beat the Soviets.
None of the above.
The moon landing sent one message quite clearly:
The US has the ability to fire a rocket at the moon with enough precision to land two men safely on it's surface, and not only that, but a rocket large enough to contain a smaller rocket which itself has enough precision and power to safely return those men to the earth. Consider what that implies about the size and precision of nuclear weapons delivery systems that the US also possesses.
The People's Republic of China's main goal with their space program is, very likely, the Republic of China.
No, they'd much rather have those 10 years worth of payments up front, so they can invest or re-invest it.
You seriously don't think people would pay more for a week-long cure than for a week's worth of "treatment-in-perpetuity?"

I'm sorry.. are you arguing for or against overbearing parentage? Your last paragraph kinda threw me.

Uh.. Huh? It's not necessarily important that you shield your children from "everything that's bad" (however you define that.)
But it's certainly healthy for you to have a policy of:
Not allowing your own children to do certain things.
Not allowing guests to do those things when visiting, even if they do them at home.
Enforcing your children's friends' parents rules when they are guests, even if briefly you must forbid your own child something that they are normally allowed
Disallow your children from visiting friends whose parents allow things you forbid
Just because you're 22 and only just now paying attention doesn't mean that other 22s weren't paying attention four years ago, when they were also eligible to vote...
Ugh. Your post is incredibly depressing and cynical, and I completely agree with it.
I like to believe that it's at least possible for a genuinely passionate candidate to energize the populace toward his own, strong positions, although certainly easier for limp-wristed vaguely non-committal candidates like McBama to skate by mandate-free.
This is why graphics for linux is adequate, but not great: the developers think $300 is a good price for a graphics card, and get tired of them and upgrade when they age to under $200.
The camera is good enough to take pictures after that fender bender you get in. Plus, you know where it is, and it's charged up because you use it every day for everything else.

We're already in the universe, fool. The rest of us don't get to create it.

Price gouging: Not enough of it.

40 years ago you could do that, too. You just had to use the phone instead of a computer. What's more, many more people had a subscription to milk.
Of course, there's a reason the job of "grocery deliverer" was something people would actually consider...
Two words: "Social Security."
It doesn't matter how much money is in the "trust fund" If there aren't enough people to pay to do the work, anyway.

It works, but you have to worry about your karr going all evil and trying to kill you or rob banks.
None of the above.

The problem with "third candidates" is that you still don't get to vote for Lisa. The best you can hope or is Ralph, or Lyle Lanley.
