... or with a renewable energy sector that is among the most innovative and successful worldwide according to Wikipedia.
In the country where they are doing this, renewables are taken off the grid on a regular basis because of overproduction and power is regularly sold for extremely low or even negative prices (I kid you not) to European neighbors. So, instead of not producing power by stopping wind turbines on windy days or losing money selling / giving away excess power, it could be put to good use even if you chose to "burn" it in a not very efficient conversion process. Some interesting numbers here. That said, I'm off to RTFA.
Keep em coming... Whatever they are my friend.

We'll not see their like again...
My kids even know Rick-Roll and Lime Cat. Hell, I saw Lime Cat in the 90's.
What I prove is that they do serve a purpose other than a fashion accessory and a symbol of conspicuous consumption.
The original poster claimed that they had no other purpose.
I do agree but TBO, my SUV is 21 years old now so some of us keep our vehicles running for a long time.
>> They serve no other purpose than a fashion accessory and a symbol of conspicuous consumption. They're a glaring example of everything wrong with our country, and if you willingly purchase one it reflects poorly on you as a moral and thinking person.
OMG Really?
I have 12 acres that is 2 miles off the end of the last dirt road. The nearest paved road is 5 miles away. I use my 4x4 SUV getting in and out of the property. It works wonderfully getting myself + family/firends, my camping equipment, and my rifles into the property and works great getting all that plus a deer or hog out.
Besides, I guess I am now carbon negative considering I own enough land to offset my carbon usage plus that of several other families. Before anyone says anything about that, the concept of carbon credits it to balance the green land with the CO2 output. In most schemes the credit it leasing enough unoccupied green land to offset your usage.
My wife named the dog Kat.
Now when the dog gets into something and you holler at her the two cats pop there heads up and have a "What? I wasn't doing anything" look on there faces.
Thats easy, we first take a bunch of old people who still have VCR's with the clock blinking 12:00 and we ask them to evaluate the new fangled electronic voting system.
They then set the criteria of what is needed.
1) Does it power on?
2) Can I figure out how to enter my voter?
3) Can my grandson tell me how to change the votes so the "Right" people win?
The issue with this is that you are only looking at firearm death's.
First, there are close to 2.2million guns in private ownership in Australia.
The numbers you should look at are overall crime rates. Something that I cant seem to find a number on. Guns in private hands reduce overall crime, not deaths by firearm or just violent crime. From the Armed lady that stops a rape to the armed grandma that stops a robbery, all crime is effected.
There was an article a couple of years ago on
I think there should be an open source project to design a satellite that is the size of a coke can. Could be fun, maybe some arduino's, a few solar cells, maybe a miniature ion engine that runs on a CO2 canister from a pellet gun. It could be a lot of fun to see just how much you can fit inside a coke can.
Hay, I was. I downloaded the code posted to usenet and installed Slackware 0.99b
There are a few of us old farts still around! We remember when Microsoft still produced a stable OS called DOS. lol
Nothing happens.
