Yeah. I tried that first. It's what frequently works for me with mathematical papers. But thanks. At least someone who typically needs lmgtfy might get something out of this.

My county only has 4 million residents. The county library system doesn't have *any* journals available. I have a card. And a login. And I've been to multiple branches.

Welcome to 1997, AC! How was the trip back?

You are just part of a brainwashed generation that demands to have everything you want paid for AND given to you, not only for free, but with zero effort on your part.

I'm 50. Is that the generation you're referring to? I'm also 1/2 of a two-engineer household. My yearly income taxes are significantly more than an entry level engineering salary - you know, the taxes that already helped to pay for the research. Don't tell me I'm not making any effort and don't jump to conclusions about "my generation" because you obviously know fuck all about it.

But hey. You're a smart person. You know all about me. My political views. My library status. Guess what? You're just as wrong about all of them. Absolutely every assumption you made was 100% wrong. Amazing. I would imagine you must get used to being wrong a lot though.

Instead of blathering on with your erroneous, ignorant opinions, maybe you ought to take a good long look at yourself and realize you're actually preaching to yourself. Geez. What a douchebag.

He did more than just think it.

When you say "go to a library" you are implying that everyone has access to a University library or similarly large, well-funded location. Not all libraries have access to journals. Although I don't have a reference for this, I suspect that the vast majority of libraries don't. I'm fortunate in the fact that I can spend an hour of total travel time (granted, 20 minutes of this will be spent waiting for the train) to get to a major University. I envision that one day there will be a series of tubes that give us access to this type of information from nearly anywhere and not a severely limited number of physical locations.

Looks like I can deduce Fe73.9–Ga26.1 from one of the images attached to the abstract.

According to the articles, the alloy isn't particularly exotic and the processing isn't difficult. I'd love to know what they specifically used. Sadly, they published in Nature. So I can view the paper for $5 or download as PDF for $32. Or, you know, subscribe for $200. What I don't get is why I, as one of the millions of taxpayers that funded this research, don't have free access to the paper.

Yes. I know. Preaching to the choir, OA journals, etc. That still doesn't change the fact that I find this both irritating and wrong.

This are the only real free energy bitches. Magnetism and gravity

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

there's a big new market springing up here for people to sell grid stabilization services, which involves buffering energy somehow.

So, the systems working, the grid is one of the most stable in Europe. Lets face it, you're just bitter because renewables are doing so well.

fact of the matter is that the German Energiewende is on its last legs.

Source?

Subsidies are being cut,

Of course they are, that's happening everywhere because the price of solar has plummeted.
The way solar prices are falling they'll soon have a hard time stopping people from putting panels on their roofs regardless of subsidies.

projects are being scaled back

And Germany recently announced a new off-shore wind farm.

My propaganda! You seem to be the one who is against sources of energy that will lead to lower energy prices, less fuel imports, less deaths due to pollution. Renewables are also the solution to ocean acidification and global warming. So why are you so against them?

I have no idea why this isn't +5 funny. I truly despise /.'s antiquated moderation system.

For the millionth time, 100% renewables if perfectly possible, for working links see:

WRONG.

I'm not going to retype this:

Some renewables are intermittent? Not a problem: Solutions to a 100% renewable and sustainable energy supply worldwide include but are not limited to hydro-electric and pumped hydro, geothermal, solar pv, wave-power, tidal lagoons and other tidal, onshore and off-shore wind in conjunction with better home insulation, heat pumps - ground source and air source, storage heaters, solar water heating, battery storage and charging electric cars whilst renewables output is high. Vehicles, ships and trains can be powered by electricity and hydrogen fuel cells, aircraft could run on liquid hydrogen.
