Comment Why Local storage? (Score 1, Interesting) 185

Why not the far simpler and more beneficial Grid tie syncing systems? They work great and will let the power generated spread out to others that dont have the money for a solar installation. It causes the benefits to reach out further.

Eliminate the batteries, system is simpler, and benefits more. It's a win,win,win, anger republicans which is another win.

If you paid $1000 in taxes...

$600 went to buy bullet to kill people.
$200 went to pay for operation costs for government
$100 went to pay for infrastructure
$50 went to pay for social programs (Education is a social program, damn poor wanting to learn) ......

$0.05 of your taxes went to NASA and science.

As a country we value killing people way way above science.

Comment Banning cars? (Score 1) 198

How about banning all those barely running properly mopeds and scooters? Last time I was there the smell of two cycle engine exhaust was prevalent about every 5th scooter that went by.

Every single scooter I have ever seen yes even the top of the line vespas have horrible engines that blast out a lot of unburned fuel as they are never maintained right. and so far I have yet to see a moped sold that has a Catalytic converter and fuel injection, so even new ones are spewing more smog than 2 cars.

Actually that is the answer. Farmers should not be allowed to use clean water for their crops. Force them to use grey water or wastewater treated water only.

    Agri is 60% of all water used in california, if you simply make it illegal for them to use freshwater but MUST use greywater and wastewater effluent then you solve the problem.

toilets and showers are less than 0.5% of the use, so low flow heads will do nothing.

Comment Tablet doesnt matter... (Score 1) 50

It's the software on it. There are almost no applications for Android that works well in the medical field, all of them are windows based.

They need to design good open source medical software not a ebola proof tablet that can be created in 20 minutes by anyone with a standard Samsung tablet and a waterproofing bag. Oh ebola on the tablet? dip it in this bleach bucket...... NEXT!
