  1. Re:batteries is not the answer! on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow you better go tell Nissan. And Toyota. And BMW. And Chevy. And every other car maker, because you sure know something all of them don't.

  2. $10 a gallon fuel then? Sure, lets do it and see who can stand on their own.

  3. Tesla paid back their loans with interest. The Govt MADE MONEY off them. You think $7,500 off an electric car is the same as fossil fuel subsidies? Lets remove both then and see how you like $10 a gallon fuel.

    Because the companies getting these subsidies keep your fatcat politicians pockets filled.

  5. Re:Says the man selling batteries. on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    He gave away patents for free to his competitors to better the race to end fossil fuels. He tells his shareholders that his goal is not to make money but to put an end to fossil fuels.

    Says the man selling electric cars and batteries.

    You realize he's all for that right? $8+ a gallon for fuel will make electric cars skyrocket in popularity.

  8. Re:If you know Elon Musk, please pass this along on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow you got just about everything wrong you stated. Don't post if you don't know what you're talking about.

  9. Ask them to define Capitalism first on A Majority Of Millennials Now Reject Capitalism, Poll Shows (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd love to see those answers. And then ask if they support it.

  10. Yes you can tell them to turn it off on Phone-Friendly Movie Theaters For Millennials Could Be Reality Soon (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Every teenager in the US is already well used to being told that in school and often at work. Stop making this seem like it's a brand new concept.

  11. Re:SolarCity - Tax dollars - Why this is happening on US Projected To Lead the World In New Solar Installations This Year (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe they should divert some of the 300+ billion that fossil fuels get in subsidies.

  12. Re:GOP showing true mastery of shooting themselves on Justice Dept. Grants Immunity To Staffer Who Set Up Clinton Email Server (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    GOP? This has nothing to do with the GOP. It has everything to do with she broke the law and needs to be prosecuted. It's funny how fast democrats cry that this is some kind of political game.

  13. You and me both.

  18. Elon Musk on Hydrogen: It's stupid. on UK Company Riversimple Plans a Fuel-Sipping Hydrogen Car (techienews.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2015/02/12/3621136/tesla-elon-musk-hydrogen-dumb/

    As Musk explains:

            “Hydrogen is an energy storage mechanism. It is not a source of energy. So you have to get that hydrogen from somewhere. if you get that hydrogen from water, so you’re splitting H20, electrolysis is extremely inefficient as an energy process. if you say took a solar panel and use the energy from that to just charge a battery pack directly, compared to try to split water, take the hydrogen, dump the oxygen, compress the hydrogen to an extremely high pressure (or liquefy it) and then put it in a car and run a fuel-cell, it is about half the efficiency, it’s terrible. Why would you do that? It makes no sense.”

  20. Don't be stupid OP on North Korea's Satellite Tumbling In Orbit · · Score: 1

    The very moment North Korea sets off a nuke of any time ends their regime. It is literally a death sentence for Kim and his entire crew. They know this.

    He's going to visit Hillary?

  22. Needs better logic on A Bot That Drives Robocallers Insane · · Score: 2

    Listened to some of the recordings, very cool. I can just imagine when the logic in this gets better. Like when they ask 'Who....?' 'Which....?' 'What....?'

    The bot doesn't do any answers for that, just go 'mm-mmm' 'right' 'ok'. Same with 'How are you'.

    But these are fantastic, I'd love to enter voice into this.

  23. You mean why Luke abandoned his friends? on 'Star Wars: Episode VIII' Delayed By Seven Months (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2

    Going totally against his entire character of the prior films? The Luke I know wouldn't turn tail and run and hide, so there better be a damn good explanation.

  24. Re:It is very, very bad... on Star Wars Pulls In $1 Billion At Record Speed (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    I thought it was good, simply because I was entertained by it. But I agree with all of your comments. In the end I just couldn't believe this was the best story they could come up with. A re-make of EP IV.

  25. Re:Young people moving away? on North Carolina Town Defeats Big Solar's Plan To Suck Up the Sun (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1
