That's what I was saying. The drips are the result of the manufacturing process not flow. But your quote does not take into account viscosity. Either way matrix or liquid it is not a normal state of matter.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Storm water is a pollutant depending on what it is flowing over or leaching through. In addition it can overflow combined sewer storm water systems and dump untreated waste into rivers. Have you ever done any storm water work? What county do you live in? Go try and get a permit for an acre of flat impervious surface and find out.
Not all concrete leaches C02. Make it out of geopolyer concrete a C02 sink closely related to the long carbon cycle.
If you have to invest some energy to raise the surface temp to just above freezing which then allows both traffic and restarting the solar panel it might be worth it. I don't know but it is a problem solvable by math vs. navel gazing. If you are doing ground-loop ice melt systems for driveways 55F is plenty to melt snow and all it costs after laying the loops is a small 12v recirculating pump.
Have you looked into geopolymer concrete? How does a modern freeway compare with a modern airport landing strip?
You mean the military industrial complex? Those fuckers hold onto their cash tight!

Um? WTF are you talking about? They are grid tied. Some times it take electrons to make electrons.
Look into pyrcrete (sp?) by Lonestar, it was developed from geo-polymer concrete. Made from basically pourable limestone. The inventor thinks it was how the pyramids where made. In Desert Storm we landed C-130 aircraft on them 48 hrs after pouring. The pyramids are up to what ~5k years old. That is pretty fucking durable.
Are they flush or do they rise above the surface? Just about anything that protrudes from a road is going to get beaten on pretty hard. This stuff is flat so the force is not going to be vectored but compression.
It does flow just VERY VERY VERY slowly. The drips you see in old windows are from the drawn glass process where they pulled it on plates vs. float glass today.
Your windows break every year do they?
It is so funny how little the average nerd understands the concept "perfect is the enemy of the good." e.g.
AC: Tesla can cat FIRE!
JoeSlashdot: No shit, so does gasoline. Which one catches fire more frequently and under what conditions?
AC:No man TESLAS CATCH FIRE!!!!
Or
AC: Glass be slippery!
JoeSlashdot: The coefficient of friction is an empirical measurement.
AC:Glass be slippery!
What about that wired article from YEARS ago about putting the waste in from of high energy (gamma?) ray to accelerate the half-life? Anyone?
Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
