But that's the point. They haven't apology for stealing his work. Only the means they used to get it. The underlying motive here was to get they hands on his work to get control of it. They didn't care one bit about his or many other peoples sexuality regardless of importance. They didn't care before the war, they didn't care during, they didn't care after until.... Someone realized the importance of what he had done.

Comment Re:Actually, it would take 6 windmills (Score 4, Interesting) 510

So the Skystream at 3.7m and 5 Euro/kWh produced enough energy to power 2/3 of an average house. So how close does that come to powering a full remote house who are use to being careful about power. So remote farmhouse in Australia where the neighbour aren't close enough to share a single tower it sounds like this might be an ideal product. Add say gas or good old plain timber burning to cover demand load like cooking and heating a small generator to cover shortfall or emergencies and you have a solution this product suits. Yes wind in built up areas isn't a solution. Yes small turbines when you have distribution density to work with ins't a solution. But doesn't mean these products are useless.

Well yes now. But last time the caps melted it was a vast salt water sea turning the country into a big U-shape. Not good for South Australia. Adelaide might become a small island nation in it's own right. The Maldivians could live on the inland coast. Although it might be a few years between their current home going under and the sea lapping at the door of their new home. Just have to be careful they don't buy too low or this future history may repeat it self.
