Yeah, but "living in a large aluminum ball in his parents' basement" doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Irrelevant. This is an idea already proven viable.
Has not been proven to be economically viable.
Irrelevant. Not the only technology.
It is the technology the solution in the ARTICLE uses. The rest is pink unicorns.
It's the Indian-Asian boundary. India is a subcontinent on its own tectonic plate which has been crushing into Asia for a long time. The place where the plates collide is in the Himalayas. Those mountains are still increasing in altitude because of that.
e.g. flow batteries:

They do that already with pumped-storage. Reversible hydroelectric. There are also some liquid batteries. Li-ion is just too expensive and maintenance-intensive to use grid scale.
Petraeus is a part of the elite. The elite don't get real punishments. Now remember who your masters are, and beg them not to punish you for your impertinence! Oh, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.
Well, thanks for showing up to tell us. It's so good of you to come on to a topic that you believe completely does not belong on
America needs people like you!
For a second I thought a member of the elite was actually going to be significantly punished, but these wise prosecutors have preserved the Aristocracy from shame!

Wow! That's like crapping out a used turd.
Oh come on, Killer Joe rocked!

And here come the psuedo-skeptics to attack anyone who even dares suggest what is in the interests of commercial entities may not entirely be in the interests of the wider society. I mean, God would never allow a universe to exist where humans could fuck themselves over. God wants unconstrained industries doing whatever the fuck they want, and we should just go and fucking kill anyone who ever even hints that maybe unconstrained resource extraction might possibly kind of potentially cause problems. Environmentalists are the only evil, and God loves money, CEOs, Koch brothers and AC's who post on Internet sites to condemn any concerns.
Oh, and Al Gore rapes bunnies!!!!!
I don't think we're poor at evaluating externalized costs. I think we're just very damned good at completely ignoring them, attacking anyone who tries to remind us of them, and undermining any kind of political or social solutions that might be brought forward. We are easily lead by the nose by those willing to tell us what to hear. We're cowards.
