    Whales are about as smart as pigs and have been eaten in many cultures.

    The guy who asserted that whales were as smart as humans was on LSD at the time. He spent the rest of his life tripping balls and trying to teach dolphins to talk...Good work if you can get it.

    We now have Functional MRI that tells us the extra grey matter in whales is for sonar processing. Large brain mystery is solved. They are as smart as pigs.

    If a photon has rest mass it has infinite mass at the speed of light. Clearly they don't. Saying the speed of light is slightly below C doesn't really help. Now their mass only approaches infinity.

  16. Re:Question is and always has been STORAGE on Solar Is Now Cheaper Than Coal, Says India Energy Minister (climatechangenews.com) · · Score: 1

    The key with all storage systems is the ratio of on/off peak costs, the energy losses and the running costs. The % loss is more important then the running costs (assuming the running costs are reasonable).

    They are just actually running the first prototype plant of this type. So no real world data yet. Should be roughly comparable to pumped hydro...better recovery but a new set of losses from the difference between drop and pickup height at both piles.

    But there are no technical breakthroughs, of any kind, required. Gravel piles, electrified railroads and regenerative braking are all well understood.

    Nobody sane thinks we're going to 100% wind/solar. I expect 'on peak' to remain daytime for my life.

    Obviously it isn't going to work without a hill that has a fairly specific grade suitable for railroads and enough height. Florida already imports a buttload of energy, one place where transmission is pretty built out.

    I see no evidence that men are less tolerant of women's shit.

    There are now women who's shit is so thick, no man will put up with it. I have no problem with that, her choice. But in the 1950s that woman would have been institutionalized (had she not grown up entirely differently).
