Separate names with a comma.
I bet the heat lost through mid-ocean ridges absolutely dwarfs what we'd be extracting each year.
Daniel's right. Panasonic got in trouble with Cobasys for the batteries that they produced for the RAV-4EV. The patent expires either in 2009 or...
Instead of oil, use coal. Oil is generally not used to produce electricity (there are notable exceptions) but coal, of course, is. I think only 3%...
Of course. And long before that happens the planet will get baked by the swelling sun. And it's going to run out regardless of whether we develop...
Right. So the Earth's core is theorized to be liquid iron that convects. We know this for 2 reasons. First, S-waves (which are a shear wave) don't...
Xcel is raising their rates 28% here, citing NG costs. Buggers are also increasing windpower 36% to "better reflect the true costs". So since when...
Wow, I didn't realize coal had jumped that much. I know that demand for it is increasing pretty fast, but didn't think that fuel costs would push...
They were disposing of some kind of waste, probably pretty nasty. I don't know what. Anyways, it was triggering small but quite measurable...
the radioactive decay of Uranium, Thorium, et al. No spacemen needed. Of course it would... but I'll wager you couldn't even measure it. It is....
The same amount that gets there now... 0%. :p It really makes no sense. I'm guessing we'll see a change in the next decade or two. From an...
OK, now I see what you're saying about "sinking". I presumed you meant sinking into the mantle, not being covered by water. Actually, during the...
Which it's crazy ain't it? Check out NM's water law though just to be safe. Western water law is old and it's fundamentals predate much of what we...
We're not going to cool the earth's core with geothermal. First, we won't extract enough energy to do. Second, we're not drilling anywhere near...
The projects that are being proposed are almost certainly CSP, not PV. CSP is considerably cheaper than PV, is currently more efficient, and...
We've only a 1.5 car garage. It houses an aquatic, wind-powered, racing machine in the main. We also have a climbing wall, lots of stuff we need...
Big negative, esp in arid areas (where they seem to proliferate). The water use alone is bad enough. The massive amount of runoff is the other big...
Here's the link to the article if anyone's interested: Can you own the rain?
Actually, in NM all of this sort of thing could be illegal. In Colorado people have gotten into trouble for capturing rain water. In fact, there...
And power won't stay the same. Inflation alone will change that. Meanwhile, your loan will stay in 2008 dollars, plus, you can probably deduct the...
Apparently you can't really run any kinda sprinkler system with barrels because you can't reasonably get the pressure you need. Other than that it...
