ewhanley, brilliant stuff mate. I have a degree in Geology (that I've never used professionally) and reading your comments is quite fascinating!...
Well said, Icarus mate. That about sums up my view. It's not about schadenfreude it's about the hope that we'll actually solve our problems, not...
No form of carbon based life could possibly live in the mantle. In fact, hydrocarbons cannot exist in the mantle. The temps and pressures are WAY...
F8L, there's a thread on here somewhere about fresh water vs saltwater and sea levels. I can't recall the details but it was something to the...

I remember hearing once that the EROI is around 2 years. I can't verify that or remember the source (mighta been darrel). Again, could be...

Or perhaps a lower watt incandescent. Would 60W bulbs suffice? Maybe 75W?
Most of the extra ones that I've seen are ancient inefficient pigs. That has more to do with the cheapness of electricity than the efficiency of...
You won't wanna ditch the AC. When the monsoon is in full swing the AC is MUCH nicer. However, having the option to use way less energy when...
If you can find a way to dump the AC and use a swamp cooler you could reduce the size of your array considerably.
