Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

There's still lots and lots of coal, ita, that would get us most of the way there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Then again, maybe not: Peak Coal - Coming Soon?

In particular greater detail has been added regarding future US coal production, noting that the US has now switched from being a net exporter to a net importer of steam coal and arguing that total (volumetric) US coal production will peak between 2020 and 2030.

You guys have heard about the hydrogen-cell Honda, right?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Uh, so, Burrell -- was it our Victor (poet Victor, not new-ish Victor C.) who decided to spread these terrifying LIES?

Yes, it was our Victor on his LJ. I just assume he's always right about these things.

Allyson, you are indeed a wonderful auntie and your niece and nephew are lucky kiddos. Also if you are serious about getting the nephew a space suit it may be useful to shop around. We found Isaac's space suit at the Observatory for like $50 and later bought the same one online for much less. Also the space suit is sold in white, orange, and I think blue so make sure you get the right color.

As I commented when I first read about the fuel-cell Honda, now all we need is an efficient way to generate, transport, store, and distribute hydrogen, and we'll be all set!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yes, it was our Victor on his LJ. I just assume he's always right about these things.

Hmm. Damned journalists and their facts.

<makes plans to hoard coffee>

You probably don't want to announce that on a public forum, as that will lead the coffee-less zombies right to you.

OTOH, when the coffee apocalypse comes, we can all get tips on how to structure post-apocalyptic society from the Mad Max movies....

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's hard for me to get excited about fuel cells until it doesn't take a boatload of electricity to make hydrogen.

In terms of power, the answer is nukes. No CO2 emissions and the waste is small and contained. And, as a guy from a hazardous waste company once said in an interview, "I love nuclear waste. If you lose it, you can find it again."

If mankind had to start from scratch, I think it would have to live off the remains of this civilization, since we long ago mined the stuff that's easy to get to.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'm tearing up about the books.
