20% of the annual budget in Belarus still goes to Chernobyl

Route 66 is getting solar roadways. That has the potential to springboard similar expansions in the US if proven to be as successful here as predecessors in the Netherlands have been.

That's really no innovation as far as energy needs. It's pretty much a "feel good" concept. It doesn't address what is actually needed and used by supposed "green" energy (solar). It won't and can't produce enough meaningful energy to be a solution. As I said before, any power produced via solar needs to be stored and converted to AC power before it is usable on the power grid. At best it would power the conceived led lights on the road. Try again. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
Storage of solar energy is the issue. Solving that issue ends our dependency on foreign (or domestic) oil. Offsetting our dependency on fossil fuels in any way is a good thing. Other countries are paving the path for this while we continue to fight progress.

I'm surprised the right wingers aren't more Pro renewable energy. It basically ends money flowing to the middle east funding terrorism.

Quote:<a class="bbc_url" href='http://priceofoil.org/thepriceofoil/clean-energy/'>http://priceofoil.org/thepriceofoil/clean-energy/</a> (1) Lobbying for reduced government interference in their industry is not the same as blocking other industries. There is nothing in those statements that does anything to block renewable development by private industry. (2) The Left loves to compare apples and oranges. Subsides to clean energy are in the form of direct payouts, 'research and development' grants (like Solyndra), and even cash rebates to buyers of electric cars (all of whom have to be rich enough to afford an expensive impractical toy). Those $452 billion in 'subsidies' (such an exact number!) to fossil fuel companies are almost all in deductions for the cost of taxes paid to foreign governments. In other businesses this is just called a business expense. There is also a 'subsidy' to companies that provide heating oil to poor families. This would be like the government directly paying Publix to give free food to the needy rather than hand out SNAP cards. The oil companies are really just middlemen in a government giveaway here.

I'm sure the poor people freezing to death in England when the can no longer afford their electric bill are delighted at the change. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-...-lows.html "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"

They do the same thing with certain types of freon for older A/C units. Sections of London exceeded their annual air quality limits in the first five days of the year. Breathable air is kind of important.

The pollution was probably caused by people forced to burn wood and trash to heat their homes once the electric rates skyrocketed.

The DH didn't kill "billions" of bacteria, it actually increased their numbers but also killed other species due to suffocation and reduced dissolved oxygen in the water column (heterotrophic bacteria use a lot of oxygen).LOL!

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.
