And he's a giant hypocrite, he invests his money into bad companies that f**k the world up and then acts the saint trying to make the world a better place with the interest.
Lithium battery prices are halving every 6 years, solar panels on average drop by 40% per annum!! The obvious conclusion is that solar+battery is going to wipe out everything else.
Tesla aren't just going to make batteries for cars in their 'gigafactory' they are intending to make battery backup for residential solar as well.
The way prices of solar panels, batteries and associated costs are dropping, solar+battery will be cheaper than grid before the end of the decade - no subsidies required.
Apparently they spent half your pay trying to hire people. They should try not being obnoxious managers and paying a bit more or improving perks. I worked in a call centre, bad management was the reason I left. Never again.
Mess about hiding assets overseas just to avoid a speeding fine! lol, get real.
And what happens to the poor? They'd get zero fine because they have nothing and earn nothing?
If they had nothing and earned nothing then they wouldn't be able to drive would they? If they can afford vehicle+tax+insurance+fuel+parking then they can pay a fine.
Check your math! That is clearly wrong simply by taking the number of people on the planet and dividing up 3.6m miles between them, 1 average person obviously only needs a fraction of roof space to supply their power.
Math done, 3.6m miles = 1331 square meters per person, that's orders of magnitude wrong.
A liquid fluoride solar thermal plant can generate temps in excess of 800 degrees Centigrade.
You need to go back to school, Solar power doesn't generate heat it collects heat/energy, big difference.
Existing molten salt solar facilities already roast birds and destroy the desert ecosystem.
Absurd statement because of lack of quantity / perspective, have you blackened out your windows to prevent bird deaths? Destroying the desert, sounds like a massive exaggeration to me.
For comparison, the Braidwood Nuclear Generation Facility (2 reactors, 2,242 MW total output). With its cooling pond, it sits on a site 7x the size of a solar concentration site and outputs roughly 22x the power.
So solar only requires 3x the ground space of nuclear if you exclude mines, processing plants and nuclear storage. That sounds pretty good to me.
Israelis treatment of Palestinians is appalling. Good Israelis see this and leave Israel, leaving behind the worse racist Israelis. Mean Jews don't see this and emigrate to Israel.
Concentrating hatred and racism. I fail to see how this can end well.
When it's the coldest February on record, the mantra is "It's weather, not climate, you illiterate", but when it suits folks to claim a climate connection, *BOOM*.
Except there are articles stating that when the price of oil fell, SUV sales shot up. https://www.google.com/search?... Perhaps it simply takes a while.
Downwards pressure on fossil fuel usage is mostly from green policies govt or business.
I've already covered this plenty and given lots of links showing that the area is heavily seismic and has a history of large tsunamis. So, yes, see previous posts.
Slashdot Mirror
Just thinking about the accuracy level, there are old:middle:young, male:female, black:white:Asian etc
Can this system even tell the difference between two young white male people or two old female black people? What is the accuracy then?
Sounds pretty rubbish to me.
You're forgetting something:

Certainly not true in London, Black cab drivers are mostly independent and there are thousands of cab firms.

I bet the maintenance(and fuel) cost of an aircraft carrier is 10x what is would cost to set up and maintain emergency sites in 99.9% of the world.
Who the f*** is we, *Anonymous Coward*
Are Canadians forced to use those banks??????????
You forgot to log in, so I can't send you any money via slashpay.
UK FTW, we have 'faster payments' which have no fee for personal accounts and typically take about an hour to go through (using online banking).
I think someone needs to invent a method to store energy. Elon Musk is bright, perhaps he could make some of these energy storage things.

Solar + battery = fossil fuels not needed.
Other renewables systems can also compliment solar or wind to provide backup instead of fossil fuels.

Yes, god forbid we should ever make anybody feel uncomfortable.
Might want to re-word that a bit.
Ha, Take that Turkey, South Africa just out-dumbed you big time, watcha gonna do now, ban the internet worldwide?
30mpg is not good fuel economy, 60+mpg is ok.
I put that there for perspective. I didn't claim those things you said.
What was the *BOOM*, did your head explode?

Do you have evidence that they couldn't be a large Tsunami or is that an assumption?
