Interesting, but trees are the #1 MOST RENEWABLE resource on the planet (unless you count grass). I can see tossing the paper back into the paper mill with the wood pulp, but making a product 100% from the stuff? What's the point? Hug a tree, but then cut it down and make something fantastic out of it because you…

Wow - I'm literally amazed. This is the FIRST actual valid reason I've heard so far to get an Electric Car. :) That is all kinds of awesome. It still isn't good enough to make me want to pay 54% more for a car, but I likes it.

I think it is far better at showing the comments of left wing Prog-Lib-Dytes and thier willful ignorance and slavish adherence to liberal talking points. Honestly, it defies parody. :)

That's not Fox News. That's just a basic, simple statement about what Obama promised versus what he's actually accomplished.

"The ... Big Oil Cartels have the power ... to push technology to new boundaries within months ... but they are far more interested in their short term profits"

Well, I wasn't arguing that Domestic Oil Production = Cheap Gas Price. I was stating that Obama has not been an "All the Above" president by any stretch of the imagination. That much is pretty conclusive. And I would argue that if the US lifted all the shackles off of domestic oil production it very much would have…

To start with, the opinion piece starts with a flawed premise. The Obama administration's policy has not been 'All the Above". That's a line he's desperately been pushing in an effort to staunch his poll numbers from bleeding as gas prices go above $5 bucks a gallon. Obama's policy is more accurately described as a…

Hydrogen cells as land-locked, fixed power generation for permenant structures is the only viable use of hydrogen fuel. As of yet though, the process is still massively expensive. Hopefully they will figure something out but, as the article says, this is not new technology. Humans figured out fuel cells over a…

This.

We all knew it was as choreographed as a professional wrestling match, but I still liked the duel in Phantom Menace. Honestly speaking, it was about the ONLY thing in that movie I liked at all. Too bad it was chopped up and interspersed with the awful Gungan battle, the awful Anakin space fight, and the awful Throne…

And wasn't it just a couple months ago that there was an article here that talked about how all the "evil" Big Food corporations were putting cellulose (OMG WOOD PULP!!!) into foods as a means of - uh - I don't know - being "evil"? One minute they're doing it to make us healthy... The next minute they're doing the…

OK - I'm just going to call a spade a spade here. This guy is just trying to find a 'nice' way to say that he wants to butcher a few billion humans in order to advance the political objectives of radical environmentalists. Not even the crazed Reverend-Moon Greenies want to just come out and put it that way though,…

Cool - but they'll need to make those panels cheaper still before they're a good option for residential power.

I work in an industry that occasionally has to deal with California's regulatory environment. To put it simply and bluntly, California is a joke. Thier legislature for years has been bought and paid for by environmentalist lobbies who push the most ridiculously stringent rules through. Bringing a product up to…

Farm subsidies in general need to end. If you can't make a profitable business without the government shovelling money at you then the model is unsustainable.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal. I know people who were skinny Americans and then went to France and got fat and diabetic because they pigged out on crepes, cheese, and wine. It isn't the food. It's how much you eat of it. But yeah, US food does tend to be way salty.

I was going to say - sounds like a load of hooey you hoser, eh? :) I've done blind taste tests with Throwbacks and Regular sodas. The only difference is the Throwbacks don't have as much 'bite' to the carbonation, and they have a slightly smoother mouth-feel. To hear Shaun you'd think drinking a Regular soda is…

Devil's Advocate... "Artificial"... That's a term that gets mis-applied a lot. Just because a food is processed does not make it artificial, and too many foodies go on and on about 'all natural' like it was some magical thing. Brass tacks - unless you grew it yourself in your own dirt with no pesticides or…

I like the Throwbacks. I wish Coca-Cola would do the Throwback thing with its drinks. Real sugar sodas have less of a 'bite' to them, and have a smoother taste and mouth feel. Plus - as you say - a bit less sugar... :)

There is some truth to the Meso/Ecto/Endo morph position. People do have body types, and it is not like everyone can just exercise thier way towards looking like Charles Atlas. However, it is entirely possible for even an Ectomorph to use diet and exercise to improve health and appearance dramatically. Just be…
