Now that everyone has commented, the monied Powers That Be will weight it accordingly, and rule in favor of the Biggest Lobbyist donations to the corrupt Congress.
What? You thought you weren't actually Serfs?
Yeah, sure.
Kind of doubting we will see space wagon trains
Technically, no.
You are bound by the treaties your country signed. In fact, they have more legal weight in the US than laws passed by your own Congress.
As an example, the US has signed Data Treaties with the EU and with Canada that give citizens of those countries more rights to privacy than you as an American would have (exception: if you are also a citizen of an EU country or Canada, you gain those rights in the US as well).
Same goes for any treaties signed for non-countries such as Antarctica (which you are bound to) and space (where those exist).
That's the law. That you choose to be a space pirate, is your own problem. I recommend wearing a gold colored space pirate outfit, with a cape and a cool helmet.
A stone's throw.... for a volcano.... maybe.
I specified the delivery, not the mechanism.
Any form of gas has that problem. Methane and gas from wells also have a high leakage rate.
Doesn't mean we don't use LNG or methane in fuel cells, though.
fairly sure Iceland maintains a fleet of Hydrogen fueled vehicles, and they're just a stone's throw from Scotland.
The question is: what is a reasonable distance? most EV have that question too.
Fairly sure the Rich don't have a lawless security state in the States, it's just everyone else.
Americans in their own country might not have privacy rights, but Canadians signed a US-Canada treaty that gives them the same privacy rights in the US as they have in Canada.
Be polite (not hard if Canadian), but don't let them treat you like an American serf.
This is not bad for Microsoft, it is bad for Apple. If people start calling all tablets "iPads" then Apple may lose their trademark on the term iPad.
No, that's the iPhone 6 Plus.
Fairly sure it was IBM that had PCs before.
Oh, wait, there's the Blue Screen of Death, my mistake.
PACCAR near Seattle makes low emission and hybrid trucks.
There are electric bus lines. In fact, Seattle has some.

There are even fuel cell trains. In Canada.
We have the technology, we just need to end all fossil fuel subsidies and tax exemptions and cheap mining/drilling and the invisible hand of the marketplace will make them commonplace.
Isn't that just for string theory, which is still a bunch of pablum dressed up as science?

But, seriously, a number of my relatives who are physicists work on military or industrial applications.
Will check with them to see if it's as bad there.
My point stands
