You know, the strap on this thermonuclear bomb looks like it might break soon.

Just saying.

Rift opens in twelve.

Hope you are ready for the Event

Actually most money made from trash is made from burning it, and from mining methane from it. Look at any large scale company that operates landfills.

It's actually fairly cheap to manufacture "plastics" that can be used as raw materials by 3D printers from compostable materials that can be used to grow food if need be.

We only use plastics that are oil-based because we have lots of cheap material and the sludge from the separator columns on the refineries needs to be used for something. We could easily replace those with vegetable based rotation crops that have oils - in fact major US research universities have the basic patents to do just that (e.g. University of Wisconsin (the other UW), WSU, etc).

I see you're new to how this works.

Coal is heavily subsidized, both in extraction and in land lease conditions.

In addition costs of pollution are rarely if ever borne by the miners or shippers.

The only thing that is being changed is the conditions under which Power Plants burn coal.

Water scrubbing has been used since (forever) to remove pollutants, including acidic CO2 and SO2 from coal but is rarely used for existing plants, and never for coal exported overseas. I used to clean the scrubbers from Tek Cominco stacks that basically operate the same way, in my first adult job.

After these minor adjustments, coal will continue to be heavily subsidized at all other levels of production and distribution, just not as much at usage.

Which will still make it artificially cheaper than wind, but not artificially cheaper than already cheap solar. Passive solar today is cheaper for heating/cooling in the US, and is near coal costs in active solar for certain applications.

Sometimes it's 10 am. Fridays it's 8 to 9 am. Next month it's 8 am.

Define Typical.

Totally bogus, dude!

I used to roll S-100 bus computers. And tune floppy drives with oscilliscopes.

Does that help, n00b?

It should be noted that not only do Canadian citizens have a Right of Privacy in the Canadian Constitution, but this overrides all agreements and treaties like the US-Canada Data Treaty so that US firms must ensure Canadians in their data have privacy as well.

Period.

One that comes, all plugs will be power cords and everything will work together.

One Plug to Rule Them All
One Plug to Bind Them
One Plug to Find Them All
And in the power Blind Them

A will work, B will work, C probably wont

Actually, while this "should" work, it won't in actual practice. The phones have dual processors, the one that tracks movement through the accelerometer can have certain downloaded "app upgrades" that you thought came from the "store" but the store was actually the NSA clone with the "activate without screen wake" telemetry burst.

We used to do this with printers in Iraq. What makes you think we care about Americans' Constitutional rights?

Well, since the World Cup is on, it's a fair assumption.

This only applies to the 11th circuit, and the NSA will continue to ignore the Constitution anyway.

Please, you think you serfs have rights?
