It's a fund raising pitch from a guy who sells aerial photography drones. He doesn't seem to have any relevant engineering training.

Cars don't stay in a rental fleet very long. If they are installing them today they must be looking at activating them in about a year; by then the entire fleet will have them installed.

The project was started in 2005, when Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and the White House.

There are two sides to every argument. Obviously the NYPD changing these entries goes against the terms of use. But if someone from Al Sharpton's National Action Network created the entry in the first place it seems like just as much of a violation. I wouldn't expect accurate information from either side.

I don't see anywhere on that page where you got those numbers. Solar is sometimes cheaper than battery storage or diesel, but nothing else.

Democrats could have enacted a serious climate policy if they had sat down and negotiated. But they tried to do it unilaterally and got stuffed. Same with health care reform; the Republicans wanted to be at the table and work out a solution - but Pelosi locked the door.

Apples and oranges. Percent increase is not the same as amount of electricity generated.

The way this star is flashing reminds me a lot of how a fisherman twitches a lure to entice a fish to bite. Maybe we should investigate this a bit more before getting too close.

You've obviously never lived in a small town. Everything is everyone's business, like it or not.

There's also an interesting social impact of this. I was talking about arranged marriages with a co-worker from India. In every village there was someone who knew everyone's background. There is a strong incentive to maintain your family's honor, otherwise your children will be rejected by the family of a potential spouse. She felt that it promoted a more orderly society.

A couple of generations ago this was also true for most people. In a small town everyone knew you, your family, and everything about you. It some places that's still true. You did (and do) have the option of moving away; but that meant you were starting out in a new place with no timeline.

You are not correct. There was never any hydraulic fracturing in the vicinity of the flaming faucet in the first "documentary". The second "documentary" didn't even bother to find a well with gas in the water, he just connected a propane tank to the garden hose.
