It's a fallacy that a 1 in 40 year event or a 1 in 1000 year event can't happen two years in a row. It's more like rolling a dice. You'll roll a 4 on average one roll in six, but you can roll three fours in a row ( or more).

It's more accurate to say that a so called 1in 100 year flood has a 1% chance of happening in any given year. Since we are in the middle of another extreme La Nina, an overall 1% chance increases somewhat.

The Apostle Paul Dealt with this one:

Romans 13:2-4 (New International Version, ©2010) 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.

Plus remember that on a starship, NOTHING is wasted. Think about that.

But if you are using abundant solar energy to produce that thermal energy, the efficiency doesn't matter so much.

LOL at Palin calling Julian Assange "Unamerican". What's so bad about that when he isn't in fact American in the first place? /can't commit treason against a country where you aren't a citizen //proud to be unamerican

Doesn't matter. My phone camera has a GPS and the ability to geotag photos.

With a regular SLR camera, if they don't like the fact that you've been taking pictrures, they can demand your film and expose it, destroying the images.

A digital camera can store hundreds of pictures on a card you can easily conceal, or send the pictures to another device before the authorities can demand your pictures.
