Right. That covers how to solve them, not that they should be solved. (But I suspect Bay Area conservatives aren't heavily represented in the climate change denialism group.)

You're spouting a conspiracy theory. U6 unemployment is at historic lows and has at no point diverged from the trend in U3. Unless you plan on conscripting children, students, the disabled, stay-at-home parents, and the elderly into jo

HMNY was up 26.7% yesterday, all in the last half hour of trading. It's now down about 8% (or 3¢) on Monday's close.

That's essentially what conventional TBMs use - high voltage extension cables to power electric VFD-driven motors. If you use batteries, you can drive them out of the tunnel and recharge anywhere.
