Is sailing the high seas in search of music actually illegal there, rather then a civil offence? Where I am, every time I buy a blank cassette or CDR, the *AA get a cut, supposedly to share with the musicians and writers, therefore the courts have ruled copying music for personal use is legal.
Sharing movies does mean you can sued for the cost of buying it on a DVD.
What the law does come down is counterfeiting others IP and selling it.

WTF, it is America that is threatening other countries with annexation. It is America who is currently waging a war on the other side of the planet and fucking up the whole worlds economy. it is America that is run by a real estate developer and a bunch of lawyers who have their heads up their arse, rather then engineers like in China
China's bad but America is looking to be worse. I feel much more confident with a Chinese router then an American one spying on me, especially as it is America waging economic war with the goal of annexation. And the way it is looking, the average American should be way more worried about being spied on by their government then a government on the other side of the world.
Fix your fucking country. You're forefathers gave you the 2nd amendment to take care of fucking bad government that is anti-freedom.

Yea, I remember when they had to rejig the pumps to half gallons as they couldn't handle more then a dollar a gallon, people said it was temporary. Same thing when they had to rejig the pumps for over a dollar a litre, a temporary thing. With the stupidity of the Americans, I wouldn't count on it being temporary.

They don't stop them, rather feather them and the swarm of bats shows up on radar at a bit of distance and is only a worry in some spots.
Do you have any idea how much energy it takes to ship something to the Sun? Just getting to Mercury is harder then getting to Neptune.
Anyways, best is a mixture of sources with natural gas as a backup. Even here, the natural gas plant needs to be fired up at least once a decade for those really cold nights to supplicant the hydro. Wind would would do a way better job of supplicating the hydro, solar too.

For a long time Apple had the education market to get people hooked, both students and their parents who bought what their kids used. That seems to be mostly gone so now they have released a relatively cheap laptop which is a big seller. So they do seem to agree with you.

Alberta is sorta like Texas, but stupider. They traditionally don't believe in interconnects and have mostly banned new renewable builds as it blocks the view of all the abandoned oil wells. BC of course has lots of its own hydro and wants to interconnect to Alberta, who has already built a lot of renewables. Hydro + wind + solar works well together.
We also need interconnects north, BC to the Yukon and Alberta to the NWT, lots of mines planned up there that need cheap power.
