Sorry, I don't count "because the FBI said so" to be convincing evidence.

Relevant quotes from the article you posted:

The FBI said Friday that technical analysis had revealed links to North Korean-developed malware, including lines of code and encryption algorithms.

That is circumstantial evidence. Certainly not a smoking gun.

A White House spokesman said on Thursday that the United States would consider a "proportional response" if it determined that North Korea was behind the hacking. He did not rule out an attack on North Korean computer systems.

That is a pretty important if.

This is a terrible idea. First off, the time invested in carefully pulling nails of almost any sort quickly eclipses the cost of new nails. Second, the cheap wire nails (often clipped head nails) may work decently when fired from a pneumatic nail gun, but, unless you're quite competent with a hammer, good luck actually driving them into a 2x4.

My utility certainly does not include distribution costs in the kWh rate. We pay a connection (distribution & administration) fee and per kWh. Ours is a co-op and I've actually read the financial breakdowns (I was under the impression that, as a regulated utility, these documents would be available from any power company). It really only costs about $15 per household to handle distribution costs, and that includes overhead for improvements and emergency repairs.

Granted, our area isn't that suitable for solar.

Isn't the page really the issue? If the information is wrong or out of date then should it be forced to be taken down/edited instead of removing it from Google.

Have you been following this issue at all? The the data doesn't have to be wrong or incorrect, it can also be inadequate, irrelevant, or excessive. That is quite a sweeping definition. This is relevant.

Supposedly, there will be accurate guidelines issued by the end of November.

You're seriously underestimating the cost of a retrofit like that. Commercial doors aren't cheap ($500+) and cutting through what are typically concrete walls is also very expensive. Not to mention, how would second story classrooms would be dealt with?

No, 20k - 100k per school is actually not that expensive for a whole building retrofit.
