Bad burn, yes, and worse thinking. But that's just it: she wasn't thinking. Her lawyer was, and McDonalds caved. If I remember from the story, McD had already offered to pay her full medical bills and then some, but that wasn't good enough.
If I recall correctly the amount they offered did not even cover her medical bills.
If they put it on the volcano then wouldn't all the measurements include the volcano emissions? In which case the increase must be from somewhere other then the volcano?
5kw,10years,4.5 average,365 days 5*10*4.5*365=82,125KWh generated 12.17c/kwh($122/MWh)
Yes it is more then the $50/MWh the generators are getting here but a lot less then >$250/MWh we pay retail.
Using just 2KW locally with no money for the excess would cost you $307/MWh for the system. The other 3KW that you export (at the $50/MWh) would get you to $229/MWh which is less then the price we pay for grid power.
OK, call me cynical. How much energy will forging the steel, making the glass, and making the cement for the concrete burn? How much energy will transporting all these new materials to site, and transporting away the demolition rubble, burn? For how many additional years could you have run the old store for the environmental cost of building the new one?
Car analogy, since we like car analogies round here. Your new Prius may be wonderfully energy efficient, but creating it burned so much energy that keeping your twenty-five year old V8 on the road for three years longer is better for the environment.
Making a Prius consumes 113 million BTUs, according to sustainability engineer Pablo Päster. A single gallon of gas contains about 113,000 Btus, so Toyota's green wonder guzzles the equivalent of 1,000 gallons before it clocks its first mile.
How many gallons does a normal car guzzles during it's production?

How much if you include batteries for the solar cells?
They do. Every single trough rotates to face the sun.
They used to be able to lie down. Now they have to be sitting.
Yes, if you have the materials to print a solar panel (I estimate it will take about 5 years until somebody successfully prints a primitive one).
you mean like this solar panel?

This article says the tide on the Pacific is 20 feet higher then the Atlantic
Why have other hurricanes not hit Manhattan?
Sure if you built a very long tunnel through a mountain.
Strangely they did not build at sea level when they built the canals but a series of locks instead.
Do Sapphires count?

A common use of synthetic sapphire is in sapphire optical windows. The key benefits of sapphire windows are:
In the end of civilization as we know it you are really concerned for your concealed weapon to be legal?
Because you want your weapon on hand and to do that means carrying it during non end of civilization times.
Not quite anyone in the country. If you are interstate only some of the stations allow interstate voting.
You don't even have to be busy, if you live more then some distance away from a station you can absentee vote.
Apparently UPS and Fedex actually use the post office to deliver some of the mail.
I think the reduction in energy returns is not due to the refining but the drilling

http://www.windustry.org/resources/how-much-do-wind-turbines-cost
Most of the commercial-scale turbines installed today are 2 MW in size and cost roughly $3-$4 million installed.
so 9-12 million per 2MW (when you figure out a 33% usage) or 4.5 million - 6 million per MW

Each ton of coal consumed at an electric power plant produces about 2000 kilowatt hours of electricity (or 2 megawatt hours)
10*24*365/2=43800tons of coal in 10 years
http://www.indexmundi.com/commodities/?commodity=coal-australian&months=60
Seems to be $100 per ton of coal
43800*$100 = 4.38 million
Cost for a new coal power station(including the coal over 10 years) = 6.18 million per MW

First it was a 50 watt bulb not a 100 watt bulb you were talking about.
http://www.gsl.com.au/240v-inverters-pure-sine-wave.html has a 82% efficiency inverter.
50/.82 is about 60 watts.
50 watts at 12volts is the same amount of power as 50watts at 110V. The thing that changes when you change the voltage is the current.
50 watts/12 volts = 5 amperes, 50watts/110V = 0.45 amperes
100watts/110volts = 0.9 amperes. Just under 1.

How many gallons does a normal car guzzles during it's production?
When you take into account the inverter it would probably be a 60watt panel to power the light bulb.
But they only have the power if the two groups of 45% disagree.
Have you ever had a President who got more then 50% of the people who could vote?
Unless you are talking about who actually voted. In which case he got 51% which is not a minority.
