In some locations, we have underwater hothouses, due to a lack of arable land (e.g. mountain states and provinces in the West). In other places, there's not a whole heck of a lot of sun, so using the energy from nearby wind and hydro, you can easily run LED to grow plants in seasons where it might not otherwise be viable.

Buildings can be built to grow things. Here at the UW, we have many buildings with green roofs and green walls, and some have entire bioenvelopes.

Depends on which state or province.

Walking is not one of the necessary things for robots to do.

Crawling more than suffices. In fact, having wheels is a feature, not a bug.

No, the SNP won it.

Just use spam terms in the body and it still can be received but the stupid software says it's not what it is.

Only non-techies think spies are good at what they do.

And, conversely, we have always known the A-10 Warthog is a good plane.

Time to call it a day.

About time someone realized what needs to be done.

Next up: Bank Execs.

High speed rail doesn't make much sense when you have continuous density, but does make sense when you have dense cities every 1-3 hours drive apart.

Which is the I-5 corridor.

It takes time to get the trains up to speed. Japan uses them for the same reason.

Um, 25 percent of the US population lives within 100 miles of the I-5 highway corridor in the West.

I think it does make sense. Just not in the tax-subsidized empty states.

As we all know, humans are not capable of traveling at speeds faster than 30 mph. It was common knowledge in the 18th Century.

Obviously hyperloops can't work either.

Now burn a Confederate flag to celebrate and let's move on.

In case you wondered.

RTFM. Try looking at pictures of any US city 100 years ago.

What do you see?

That's right. Bikes and streetcars.

No cars.

Not here. Advanced tech cities are ditching cars. Cars are a 19th Century solution using an outmoded power source.

If people know there is an 80 percent chance they will be stopped, forced to park their car, and not able to use that car for three days (72 hours), or any other car, they will stop doing certain risky things.

The certainty of an immediate penalty is more important than the severity of the penalty.

Stop molly-coddling car drivers. Most of the urban roads were built for bicycles and pedestrians originally.
