Pumped Water storage is 80% efficient, energy stored only depends on the reservoir size. Molten salt solar concentrators can be designed to provide power around the clock.

But the great thing about solar is that it's production curve is very similar to our electrical demand curve. Which means that expensive solar plants can replace expensive fossil fuel peaker plants.

9 out of 10 iphone users don't know how to lock their phones or have never bothered to setup a passcode.

From TFA:
The individual nantennas can absorb close to 90 percent of the available in-band energy.

So the total system efficiency depends on how wide that band is in relation to total solar energy available and whether nantennas can be stacked and designed to capture energy over a range of bands.

I had an account on Gawker, and my password was not very complicated, better than those listed, but still very simple. Why would I be so careless about login security? Because my Gawker account had no real information.

I signed up using a sneakemail.com temporary email address which has since been deleted so the only thing the hackers got was a junk email address and a junk password. No reason to secure something that is worthless.

Actually my toyota dealer makes money installing hymotion battery packs. The vehicle warranty remains in effect and hymotion's warranty covers the battery. The downside is that it costs a lot of money to improve the mileage to 60mpg, so I am planning on keeping the prius stock and upgrading our gasser to a leaf.

I agree with your long view and forward thinking. When we bought our house we spent $300 on 80 bales of cellulose & a blower to add insulation to our attic, paid for itself 1-2 years. Over the years we replaced the furnace insulated the walls and installed new windows. Last winter we added an 80% efficient wood burning fireplace insert. I scavenge wood when my neighbors cut their trees down. Our heat bill in wisconsin in jan & feb was 100per month and we rarely need to run the AC in the summer. Yes improvements cost money but done wisely they can yield greater dividends than the stock market. Energy savings that put money back into your pocket are tax free and increase property value. But I also bought a prius, yes I am a geek and I like the new shiny and all cars are a bad investment, but it uses half the gas of my old car. At low gas prices the car will pay for itself in 10 years and when gas prices rise I wont be economically impacted. I am looking forward to being able to upgrade our 2nd vehicle to and electric car that will have half the running costs of the prius because I don't have control over what oil will cost in the future but I can take steps to reduce the the amount that rising energy costs will affect me.

The reason why they have speed cameras is because they get lots of racing fans because the town is located just south of Bristol Motor Speedway. Nascar racing fans have a general disregard for speed limits and I bet that on a big race weekend one police car could not write tickets fast enough.

Or you use the power saved in your pumped storage system.

Here is his 2003 talk on designing solar collectors.

Btw I also use the kirikae app to do task switching.

The standard iphone os is capable of much more than it allows you to do. How do you think push email works? How do you think the phone app works?

I jailbroke my phone for the extra features, I could care less about the pirated apps. I have backgrounder installed which allows limited multitasking. I listen to public radio player(c89.5 seatle, 89.9 madison) which helps me get my groove on while I browse the web, use google reader, read email, whatever.

I also have adblock for the iphone and a small hosts file which combined with iphone's lack of flash filters out most ads.

Yes multi tasking it eats the battery faster but it is worth it. I have version 3.1.2 and used blackra1n(excellent).

Humans are not monogamous. Humans did not evolve as a monogamous species. Pairing may be beneficial to raising children, but humans have a long history of sleeping around.

The nob on the human male penis was specifically designed to scoop out a rivals sperm and deposit seaman deep into the vagina at which point the penis becomes soft so as to not scoop out its own deposit.
