"Water vapor, good old H2O is also a powerful greenhouse gas."
If water were produced by electrolysis (meaning a source of greenhouse pollution is also the source of the fuel), the net change greenhouse gasses introduced to the environment would be zero... compared to CO2 emmisions, where carbon is coming from carbon chains in fossil fuels that were not initially responsible for global warming. The net change is huge.
Also, I thought I heard on NPR a few months ago that gasoline powered cars produce comparable amounts of water to fuel cell cars in their emissions... but I didn't go back to check.
The study shows several media outlets scoring closer to the average democrat than to the average member of congress. While the mean score for all of congress may be slightly to the right, the mean score of the democratic party is decidedly to the left. If you believe in the accuracy of the study, then its hard to deny those mentioned outlets don't have a bias.
Well at some point you want to be testing them on their conceptual knowledge base and not arithmatic skills... Or maybe just write the tests so calculators arent helpful.
I heard this argument from my friend about why he shoplifts. He figures the department stores bilk people out of enough money, turnabout is only fair play. Totally Bogus. Its never right to point to someone else's fallacies as a justification for your own.
I wonder if NASA could be using this as a very public scare tactic to put pressure on the administration to increase its budget allocation. My college once threatened to cut major sports programs unless the students passed a sports-fee increase... The fee increase never materialized and the sports programs are still there
I guess the some 60,000 US soldiers killed in vietnam just picked a bad place to vacation. Or maybe the families of the 100,000 people killed in Iraq will tell you it was "all one big misunderstanding". If you really want to get into the technicalities, we are still in a declaired state of war from WWII. Why do you think the president can sign executive orders?
Of course there is still valuable information to be gained by maintaining voyager... but I don't think there is anything wrong with asking if there is more science to gain using that money elsewhere. The public gets emotionally attached to something like Hubble, or Voyager... and that can prevent unbiased comparison to the alternatives.
FOX News is often pointed to as an example of conservative bias in the media, with good reason. But why isn't there a liberal counterpart? It's not like it hasn't been tried, look at the likes of Bill Maher, John MacEnroe... Al Frankin, Air America. All pretty much tanked. I don't think its fair to label the right's need for sensationalism as why conservative media is so much more successful that the left: there is clearly a similar liberal base who would want the same thing.
I think a reasonable explanation is that maybe unconscious liberalism (even in small amounts) throughout the rest of mainstream media has diluted demand for a full fledged liberal network. They get their news from the NPRs, big city newspapers, CNN, or even network television... where these outlets may often alienate segments of the conservative base driving them towards ultra-conservative alternatives.
Perhaps a left lean results from an establishment where liberals numerically dominate. They do their best to be fair... but their bias will undoubtedly slant their presentation. Take Bill Orielly, for example. He probably genuinely believes it when he says The Factor is not biased conservatively (compared to his radio show, it isn't). But it is clear to the rest of us this is not the case.

...unless you work for the government. Then once again, it takes effort. Try sleeping with the boss's secretary, that might do the trick.

Not to mention his highly successful business ventures. See if Kasparovchess.com is still around.
Not Fischer, who's all set for a long stay in prison.
