SSFL (Santa Susanna Field Laboratory) was also the site of the worst nuclear accident in US history.

And now here's something you will REALLY like...

In Canada's case they've barely even bothered to feed outrage. Harper clearly wants to cooperate with the U.S. national-security establishment and doesn't care to even hide it.

I think in the U.S.'s current situation it's hard to find things that even more moderate people would accept that are still big enough to produce a significant change in energy. A big hydro installation is really big, and typically requires flooding an absolutely massive area. China can pull off something like the Three Gorges project because it's heavily central planned and controls dissent, but I don't think you could get that to fly in the U.S., even if the major environmental groups disappeared tomorrow. Heck even something the size of the Hoover Dam is not that palatable to many people anymore.

Maybe if it were really in the middle of nowhere, like damming up a river in Alaska, than the average person would be fine with it, and you'd have only environmentalists opposing it. But energy transmission is expensive, so damming rivers in Alaska isn't very cost-effective.

You're talking about penises a lot.

Are you sure you're not a Republican Catholic priest?

A bit over 99% of the electricity generated in Norway is from hydro plants, because it has a ton of hydro resources.

Colonel Panic, on the other hand, just stopped.

The base $799 model also comes with less SSD space and a slower processor. That may or may not matter for you, but is worth looking at. For me 64GB of space (what the entry-level Surface Pro 3 has) is getting to be tight.

To get a rough spec equivalent to the MacBook Air, which comes with an i5 CPU, 128GB SSD, and a keyboard, you have to spend about $1100 on the Surface Pro 3, which is a bit pricier than the $899 MacBook Air.

"Facebook, acting on the concerns of random trolls, thinks you're crazy and should be locked up for your own good. Kthxbye."

I hope this article is being tagged "whatcouldpossiblygowrong".

I think what he really means is that Luna already has the internet. The tubes are there.

Glad to see that Facebook are reading Comrade Stalin's writing with such diligence.

There's nothing that stops you from coming back in the same way if you'd like.
