The difference here is that he cannot charge over and over for the same stupid food. Not unless he gets it back from his patrons when they are finished with it. that alone makes this comparison void. A label or copyright holder does not have to work to reproduce or distribute the music every time it is played.

Okay, I'll bite and reply to AC. Notice I said energy needs, not electrical needs. Germany is a much smaller country, transport energy requirements for both electrical transmission (minimal) and goods transportation are much less.

Can the USA do better, of course we can, and should. However, sticking your head in the mud and screaming no nukes is shortsighted at best and idiotic at worst.

The odds of any person being harmed by a nuclear accident are probably less than getting struck by lightning while suffering a shark attack.

As it currently stands, neither solar or other renewables can come close to providing the energy needs of a 1st world country, and as more of the world develops, this need will only increase. That leaves fossil and some form of nuclear. Or, reducing energy usage. Get rid of everyones appliances, vehicles, heat pumps, exotic out of season foods trucked from halfway across the globe, etc, and you may come close. Do you want to be the one to force that on people?

Washing is ultimately useless. Once one wallet in the transaction chain is known, then all of its past activity is known. With a few small information leaks, enough computing power will track it back. Even if not, the concepts involved are enough to make most judges/juries rely on the 'expert' testimony and got to sleep.

All it takes is an expert with enough jargon and some numbers (we identified the holder of this wallet to a precision of 1 in 300 million), even if not true, and convictions will be garnered.

I have poor diet and a flatulence problem. Want to carpool? Ideally, the mass transit apps can let users ban co-riders and will allow matching similar to dating sites for rider compatibility. you don't want a tebagger homophobe riding with Ms Jenner.
