Think about it.
People who've lived far from work will want to live closer or companies will want to be closer to the people. Out of this you get a construction boom (using reserves of petrol for materials transport).
People will scramble to find replacements and alternatives for petrolium products and the things that rely on them. Out of this you get a boom in R&D/investment.
People will scramble to do find ways of modifyinging or processing the things that have been rendered unuseable due to lack of petrolium products. This too will help the R&D boom as well as employ people to do the physical work of processing or modifications.
Invention and enginuity will burn with the fervor they haven't since the industrial revolution!
I really wonder why there's an F5 with the paint scheme of an aircraft from the former USSR off the right wing of the supersonic muffler tester. What, was that the only plane in the pool the pilot could get his hands on at the time?
Most electric cars would be charged during off-peak hours. In fact, they can actually help the grid by sending power back into it if there's an incredible spike of demand.
"Politically correct" is a relative term. It's just as politically correct to reject "A" because you're a "B" among "B's" as it is to reject "B" because you're an "A" among "A's"
So, stop your politically correct ranting about what you think is politically correct with respect to being inclusive of native Americans in naming planetoids.
"Unchecked capitalism" (I think you mean unfair business practices?) is an unwanted side effect, not the cause of the problem. The root of the problem is government.
The root problem is government?
One word: Intentions
If there were no intentions to abuse then the goverment would not have made any laws addressing abuses. If there no intentions to abuse then even if the laws appeared on the books out of the blue no abuse would be done.

Wouldn't it be nice if this thing had a video out port?
"Earthquake" was exactly the first thing that
came to mind when I saw it too.
Specifically I wondered "Is this a picture
of the building after an earthquake?"
Has it been that long since they've painted it?
Is it just because that paint schemme is cool?
I'd also like to add that the Hindenburg did not go "boom" at all and if it did so many people would not have survived .
True alternating current is a current that reverses polarity. The current in DC motors doesn't reverse polarity, it switches on and off.

Stop this silly finger pointing.
Blew skreen jokes r kewl.
whether leaving earth will prevent that is a totally different debate. And that "different debate", my friend is the crux of what I was expressing.
I don't know about that. Here's a better sure fire insurance policy for the survival of the human species.
1)Educate them with constructive traits instead of destructive ones.
2)Do away with all or most nukes.
3)Do away with publicised and unpublicised biological WMD strains.
4)Put fossil fuels out to pasture.
5)Profit (for the future of the the Human and most other species)!
A possible criterion? If its got an atmosphere it's a planet.
Good for talking while the teacher is talking. :-)
On another note: SlashNOT is full of mojibake.
The article says they're marketing to "SMB" which I take to mean "Small and Medium (sized) Businesses".
