LED and CFL lights, SEER ratings, LEED certifications, Energy Stars all are having an impact. Just in computers there have been huge advances. My MacBook Pro requires about 1/6 the electricity of my 2007 Desktop, and my LCD monitor is

Seems inefficient. Fossil Fuels work today because you just suck them out of the ground and ta-da! free energy when you burn it. If you have to pump enormous energy into harvesting the carbon so you can burn it and re-harvest it, why not

1. Tesla's EVs are outselling everyone else combined, even with an average sale price that's double everyone else. 2. Tesla is partnered with Panasonic, but they're practically married with communal property. They haven'

The price has been rapidly decreasing in the last 10 years, to the point that it no longer makes sense to not have solar everywhere. It's cheaper than coal, and will soon be cheaper than all the other fossil fuels as well, and will c

I think these comparison's to other car companies really miss the mark. Those who are long on TSLA (myself included) aren't looking at them as a car company. Tesla is cracking open new markets in the following areas: - Electric Ca

It was this one: http://pressf8.deviantart.com/art/bSCATES-Desktop-2-1-19 I think there's one that's older by url count, but this was the first featured one, and I think second oldest surviving.

I remember chatting with Scott on ICQ when he was building the site at the very beginning. He sent me a link to test uploading something, which I did - a screenshot of my desktop. It's one of if not the oldest remaining submissions, an

Always amazing to think that $100 invested 6 years ago would be worth $50,000+ today.

Maybe we could subsidize decent health insurance? Raise the minimum wage? Build safety nets and expand social services? Except they just voted against all that.

I've been mixing Trader Joes Coffee Concentrate with Soylent for breakfast for months. This seems like a no-brainer.

Who lost a job because of an Xbox game? I think you could argue that software like Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office are net positive on job growth. Software can empower people to do entirely new kinds of jobs.
