Remember the idea of putting wind farms beside highways to extract the "wind energy" from passing cars? Something you said made me wonder if such farms were put at points where traffic was supposed to slow down if it would be able to boost EV's. The original story wasn't even as practical as that (pitiful as it is) and I don't remember anyone mentioning it.
Look, nuclear waste is a ambiguous term for the end product of a nuclear reaction. Just as people confuse common vernacular 'theory' with the scientific term 'theory', they (you) confuse (nuclear) waste with scientific waste (end product of a specified process) Nuclear waste can be, would be useful. The second problem with nuclear is related to the first problem. The rest are economics, infrastructure, and imagination.
burying is the wrong idea. USA should take CO2 to Mars over the next several centuries. (At least until we get off our hydrocarbon addiction.) Terraform Mars! Increase the atmospheric pressure. (Only a small step in a lot of leaps, I know.)
Now one can't do this kind of teaching in our schools. The curricula seems to be more like an English lesson than a science lesson let alone being something that inspires wonderment or encourage curiosity.
Solar cells seem to follow a different law that keeps their efficiency much lower. I love solar energy, but until they start converting sunlight at a reasonable cost, nuclear are the way to go.
Considering how sensitive animals can be to changes in their environment I doubt this would harm birds. Why? Because the birds would begin to feel the rise in air temperature long before they got to the danger zone. They would just turn away.
doesn't sound Australian. It is likely to be "Mr. Jones down the road" or Bluey, Red, Old Mate, Cobber, Jack (or Jacky Jacky) or "The Average Bastard". (Some may refer to Richard Cranium but it is a diminishingly small number.)
No, we aren't particularly independent. If we were, we would've got rid of the bloody pommies years ago. We hate grandstanding and hierarchy/class systems though, so we do tend to lean towards anarchy as a preference. However, we are very communal. For instance our national heroes tend to be antisocial criminal bastards that formed gangs. If you are willing to have a go, you're a part of the community. Self depreciating could also be a pivotal Australian charateristic.
Cobber over there may have a different opinion, although I've always had this idea in my head of The Average Australian Bastards being a fiercely independent people. I'd be sorry to hear that's not true.
Pro tip: Refrigerators systems are designed to run a particular orientation. Yes, you can run it while on its side, but it can make it ineffective... sometimes. YMMV.
If your time is so valuable, i have a technique that will enable you to use those *down* times effectively. (Not efficient necessarily.) It will only cost UK250.0 for a two hour session.
The only true way to ensure life after production is mass redundancy. If they upload the movies to torrents, we the obliging public will preserve their films for them! Unless they are undesirable.
It is energy storage capacity/weight that is the failing point of electric engines. If we could store the energy of a tank of petrol/diesel, in the same weigh and volume, (lighter would be better) electric engines would be all the go. Unfortunately, our best storage product requires combustion.
Telstra is currently a government supported monopoly. They report huge profits then excuse them that they can't afford to provide a suitable service to rural Australians because it would be too expensive. The status quo continues. (They monopoly is being broken, just very slowly.)

Sunlight isn't renewable. There is just a large amount being actively distributed whether it is utilised or not though....

no, but I sure did... *shudder*
Really? Perhaps feminist BB are just more common in Australia.
You're supposed to use the 'you're' tag. We won't revoke your geek cred this time, but let this be a warning.
That is the result of an IRA conspiracy to pull the wool over both their eyes.
If it works on lans (IP) why wouldn't it work on the internet? Unix systems are still the most common server/router systems.

Yeah, well, sorry bout that. Win some, lose some.Pro tip: Refrigerators systems are designed to run a particular orientation. Yes, you can run it while on its side, but it can make it ineffective... sometimes. YMMV.
A new operating system. Runs all know programs regardless of architecture. But then your soul belongs to the "evil one".

Why complain about being covered in pleasures? And contemptible is still contemptible.
phhhtttt. Amateur.
