I've been wondering for a while if vertical solar panels on the sides of buildings might make sense. Today (for no reason that I know of) I started wondering if might even make sense to put panels on parts of a building that don'

Other than housing the cost of living in the Bay Area isn't drastically different than other large metro areas in the US. If you're coming from London, I expect you'll find everything to be cheaper. Also the climate will be

I don't know if BamBrogan is an "unstable guy" or not. But I'm not at all sure your summary "who was ousted form Hyperloop one by the whole board and officers" is accurate based on what was reported at the tim
