Starting from porn with more than 1 female and at least one male, many if not most pass the Bechdel test because there's generally at least one conversation where they call each other sluts and discuss sex without actually referencing a male or the penis.
Oh it's much, much worse than that. If you assume arguendo that any of the catastrophic AGW and more than half of the non-catastrophic AGW models are even remotely correct then it's far too late for any of the carbon controls to do jack fucking shit. Which means 4 options are on the table. 1. Kill off 80%+ of the human race if you want to keep the current 1st world standard of living. 2. Kill off 50%+ of the human race and reduce 95% of the remainder to subsistence living. 3. Large scale chemical atmospheric engineering. 4. Invent massive scale carbon sequestration machines to reduce the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. The hilarious part is that until recently, number 4 never even passed the lips of the vast majority of AGW believers.
Because they think that the plutonium produced(and mostly consumed if those reactors are allowed to keep working instead of being shut down to harvest it) will spontaneously get up and walk away.
The only reason that there is so much subvention is because certain people would fucking whine to high heaven if they switched to the nuke plants that could properly eat the majority of the truly problematic waste and use it as part of the fuel cycle.
And you must be one of those idiots who keeps tools around after they become useless for their assigned task. These are offshore wind turbines. That means placement area is at a premium, they can't just erect more when their power output drops. Thus, if the turbines are needed to put out X amount of power, but because of their age have an output of X - Y, you can't just easily build more, you have to scrap the existing ones and erect new ones. Now, you can probably keep the tower, depending on corrosion, but that's one of the cheaper parts. Not to mention depending on how they build them it might just be more economical to scrap what's there than to try and retrofit everything in place.
The initial agreed upon price assumed a project cost of 200 million. It went up by 50% before they've even broke ground. Final cost is likely to be even higher.
Found on my ass are significant amounts of text. Among them the following.
A modern wind turbines will be designed to work for 120 000 hours throughout their estimated life-span of 20 years. This would be the turbine operating for approximately 66% of the time for two decades. This is far more than modern car engine which is built to last for 4 000 to 6 000 hours of use. This equates to an average of 49 minutes driving a day over the same two decades.
You mean the reactor design that the company itself hasn't quite figured out how to get to work right in a full scale reactor instead of the smaller ones in Finland? That Hinkley Point? Not to mention that you managed to ignore the fact that it doesn't include maintenance costs. Or that a significant number of NG plants will have to be installed to spool up the extra electricity as needed given wind turbines uneven electricity generation, which means it'll take even longer than the 16.96 years assuming everything works perfectly. Or that no studies have been done on the lifetime of wind turbines exposed regularly to saltwater, but the probable result is a shortened lifespan.
At the average price for electricity(14.4 cents per kW/h) in RI at the average household electricity usage per month(602 kW/h) it will take 16.96 years to pay that $300 million back. That assumes no operating costs or maintenence costs. Which is obviously bullshit. Turbines have, at max, a 20 year lifespan. But of course, green energy is viable, blah blah blah. Oh, and all this assumes constant delivery, which is never the case for wind as well.
As I doubt Ford is doing so as they by and large don't play the super duper efficient emissions game, only doing the bare minimum to meet CAFE the amount I care is a big fat zero.
US investigator - "So this is all the secret software right? There's nothing else? VW spokesman - "Ja, all ist gut. No more verdammt testing software that we were dummkopfs for not disabling in a vollstandig understandable mistake."

Unlikely that Baltimore county, which is separate from Baltimore city unless The Wire lied to me, has the money for a Stingray, especially given that they just got body cameras like 3 weeks ago.
No, her warrant was a FTA for a traffic stop that included multiple issues, including disorderly conduct and resisting arrest as the components, which unless you think the cops had some Mad Max style of writing traffic tickets going on, happened after whatever they pulled her over for. Moreover, they served her only because they were already there for the guy who had an assault warrant. Her FIRST instinct is to hold her child in her lap while pointing her shotgun at the cops and you think the disorderly and resisting charges were bullshit? What are you smoking and where can I get some?
You have no right to a internet connection or access to facebook while in an armed standoff with the police, especially when they were serving an entirely valid warrant..
They weren't even really there for her. Serving her warrant was done out of convenience because they were also there for a guy who had an aggravated assault charge at the same address. But then she pulls a shotgun, gets in a several hour long standoff with the cops while using her son as a shield both figuratively and at times literally, regularly telling him the cops are gonna kill him, and then threatens to kill the cops while pointing a shotgun at them short range.
Because if some dumb bastard decides to make murder/terrorist threats using google's booth they'll be able to pull up their picture and give it to the cops.

Well, probably not California or Massachusetts.

Ah, but according to our betters those periods of warmth miraculously only affected Europe. And Antarctica. But mainly Europe.

The cause, and solution to, all of life's problems
That was the result of a joint hostile takeover with the Russians and a subsequent division of assets.
No I'm upset because anyone with an axe to grind uses the moderation system on Slashdot to attack anyone who doesn't agree with them.
FTFY. The idea that Trump and Sanders supporters are in any way unique in their moderation tactics is spurious at best.

Yes. I pulled it out of my ass. Interestingly, my ass now has a web address.

Which is what I meant and exactly what wind turbines don't do. Which is why you have to supplement the with other sources, preferably NG plants.

Perhaps they were afraid she would use her rain dancing abilities to flood their houses.
Point of order, In Bruges is, in fact, a hilarious dark comedy.

Hey look, a proper example of incitement to violence not protected by the first amendment. Bravo sir.
