Homes on stilts are designed to survive major storm. Cat 1 and 2 hurricanes. What is a 1 year rebuild? Are you saying a major hurricane will make landfall everywhere, every year? Because that's what you are implying.

The great thing about living in a free society is choices. Some people might like to have 4 dogs in the same way someone else might want to have a swimming pool. To each their own and we should avoid passing value judgement on individual pr

I have a hard time believing this. What does Green Mountain use when the wind dies? Do they have a grid storage solution?

Without taking a side in the discussion, we should make a distinction between the research and the subsequent paper. The government funding is for the research. Scholarly papers are created for publication, not to meet the requirements of t

This article is so misleading. NASA is requiring that the pubished research papers be public. The research discoveries are still owned by the Universities that did the research - the Bayh Dole Act is still in effect. https://en.w

The concept did not work in San Francisco, therefore shut it down? How entrepreneurial is that? Answer: none. Is there an assumption that if it cannot work in SFO, it won't work anywhere? I completely disagree. Take your MVP to a more
