Obama President (LOL)
Hillary Clinton Secretary of State (ROFL)
John Kerry Secretary of State (ROFLMAO)
Really you have people whose goal in life is to martyr themselves running rings around these idiots, and Russia is resurgent. Good job.
As it stands the only way I use I.E. is if my mouse hand decided to pull a Dr. Strangelove on me https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (for those that won't get the ref)
I mean what insanity is microsoft trying this time to get people to use it ? Hijacking other browsers display windows ?
i think YOU are stupid. powerful rhetoric can lead anyone into hellish rabbit holes.
goebbels, lenin, robespierre, bush YOU NAME IT.
You are accusing George W Bush of powerful rhetoric ?

Nobody recycles batteries for the lithium. A small amount get recycled for cobalt
your link
The Umicore battery recycling technology
“Product” is comprised of an alloy that’s refined into cobalt, nickel and other metals
And exactly why
http://www.altenergystocks.com...
Battery Chemistry
Metal Value Per Ton
Lithium cobalt oxide $25,000
Lead acid $1,400
Lithium iron phosphate $400
Lithium manganese $300
The batteries aren't being recycled for the lithium.
Hope you didn't put too much of your money in Tesla
I'll let you split hairs about processing vs refining.
And yes, China, along with Europe, push for the DIRTY mining of Lithium. They are pretty bad, but they want it cheap.
If it isn't cheap it's not economical.
OTOH, Here in America, we are finding the lithium from heated brine solutions down below. In particular, we are bringing up brine solutions for geo-thermal electricity and then pulling the lithium out after the fact, and then re-injecting the cleaned up water back into the hole.
Which is why we don't have enough to supply our need.

Here in America, we are recycling our lithium batteries. It is Europe that is dirty WRT to not recycling it. Sadly, Europe would rather scream about somethings, while ignoring the real damage that they do to the earth.
Nobody recycles batteries for the lithium. A small amount get recycled for cobalt That will change as the price of lithium rises, of course as that happens we are back to economics..

Friends of the earth disagrees with you.

BTW you are also wrong about the Nobel, Seeing as AL Gore got it for making statements that even the climate nuts won't claim as their own anymore, the best way is not to have evidence but just make stuff up.
Sorry the truth is painful for you.
Oh my
What a pot meet kettle moment.
To make an analogy, coal emits more radiation per megawatt during its normal operation than nuclear power plants have released cumulatively, even including the worst disasters.
All that does is demonstrate the public's innumeracy about the dangers radiation. You can say similar things about granite buildings.
Yes. Moreover, any effect it did have would be worth it compared to the benefit of avoiding coal.
To who ? You don't live in the area and don't depend on the tourist industry for your livelihood.
It's certainly not a big enough issue to make it worth continuing to use a polluting form of power generation instead!
Really, hmm so you think the need to send boats out to the turbines to service them on a regular basis will have no effect ?
So, this town's conclusion is (incredulously) that the wind farm is bad because one of the oil tankers that it renders obsolete might hit it. That's not the fault of the wind farm; that's the fault of the goddamn oil tankers!
You know nothing of ships do you ?

BTW those usage numbers are in tonnes/day.
Solar will last as long as the sun. How long do you think we will have the resources to build solar panels ?
Many orders of magnitude longer than the Sun will last.
You mean after the sun goes off the main sequence.
Well aside from the fact you haven't said anything factual to disprove my statement which logically makes you guilty of the charges you are attempting to lay on me

Sorry that I expect people to at least be conversant with the things they promote.
But it can only happen if it makes economic sense. Very few people are going to lie down big bucks, only to then PAY even more for electricity. If I spent thousands of dollars on solar panels and a storage (batteries, etc) system, I'd damn well expect my recurring power bill to plummet if not disappear entirely.
Exactly. The whole problem with most "Green Power" solutions is they are little more than excuses to pick people's pockets.
You know you've landed gear-up when it takes full power to taxi.
