That study is only reference to the existing consensus, not the actual study from the OP. I don't have the time to dig out the actual study but it looks like [1] it's originating in Canada (not NIH/USA) based on the publicati

I'm sure the 'crime' will be put under a different part of the law. I.e. Attacking a public official's property. They have different laws for them. Wouldn't change a thing.

In a PoW network (read Bitcoin), those that have the currency (satoshis/'sats') don't gain any more sats by just possessing them. The only way to gain more is from either those that have some or to mine more (until 2140)

Conk has a good response but you also have to realize that it's still too expensive to setup a battery as well. So, since the grid will be needed, you'll need conversion to be able to handle the fluctuating demand your home requir

This type of system should be able to be challenged by the citizen. If I voted without my prior knowledge, then I want my record because I never voted. This is pretty scary and I didn't know this occurred in other states.

Hmm. I didn't know this but that's a solid observation. Regardless, SolarCity probably did a poor installation job with cheap parts. They have a reputation among other Solar installers and it's not a good one.

It's 100% sustainable not 100% green. It should be the solution humanity picks, if we want to be serious about emission reduction but I wouldn't put my money on it.
