Keystone would have made those sands more economic, however, lowering the price threshold under which extraction would be cost positive. Are we so sure they are going to be exploited in the current oil price environment?

Would love to hear from someone that has some idea of this, as opposed to you just throwing out the assertion that the ship is typically empty in one direction is faulty.

When computing costs of recycling, it’s not really fair to say it costs X amount of energy to ship these things to China. In many cases, those are ships that really only transport goods one way (from China to here). Loading them 1) makes them more stable and 2) gives their return trip some economic value.

I’m confused how to masturbate to this.

What about Taft?

you are right. oops. but I stand by my comment as well.

Yeah, completely agree. What’s the warranty on these bad boys? I’d pay $10 more for less likelihood of breakage.

That also seem remarkably like two planes to London and one plane back.

My favorite part of this HR is that the pitcher ducked like it was coming right for his head.

Why? Unless you’re planning to bring someone back, it’s more fun having a roommate anyway (assuming you like the person). I’m over 3o and could certainly afford it, but for $150 I’ll spend the night in a separate bed.

I have no doubt that this guy is in the pocket of Australia’s coal lobby, but to not mention that in most cases renewables require government subsidy to be cost-competitive is a bit misleading.

To be fair, most renewable tech is government subsidized in order to be cost-competitive (assuming externalities are not priced in) with conventional thermal generation.

I was on the “B” team in high school, which was for the kids who were either too talentless or too talented but didn’t give a shit enough to even be on the junior varsity (this was a small school where you had to play one sport, I was in the former group). We regularly scrimmaged the women’s varsity and I don’t think…

Don’t sleep on batteries. Wind and solar together work pretty well. If we could get decent battery capacity at a reasonable price they could be enough in some areas.

What’s the max height for someone to consider this car? Is 6’2 with long legs completely out of the question? And if so, what’s the best sports car for tall people?

Should have specified whether antiperspirants are welcome as well. It’s a different ball game. I’m pretty surprised how few deodorant only choices there are at the local drugstore relative to those with antiperspirant.

I think you forgot the most populous continent on Earth, where women’s soccer is going pretty strong

Congrats! My favorite Chopped moment was when my friend served one of the judges “beef curtains”. How this made the cut I have no idea

This is why not everyone should be allowed to have civilian nuclear programs (and maybe nobody should). Maybe American (or French, or English etc.) companies wouldn't have done any better, but if Japan couldn't get its proverbial act together around this cleanup, does anyone have any faith that India, Ukraine (43% of…

You forgot
