If flyash disposal, mining, carbon emission, and fracking were equally regulated then these regulations create incentive to R+D nuclear technology, making it more affordable. The results of a rigged race don't prove anything.

Your cost analysis neglects replacement, disposal costs for batteries, long term costs of carbon emission, and coal flyash disposal. The only reason nuclear is losing to gas and coal is because the externalities of the mess they make are du

The Gambler is probably the easiest to understand Dostoevsky novel I've read. It's a character analysis of himself written quickly to pay off his own gambling debts. I'd recommend this first, then Notes from the Underground,

Yes, insects are meat. The kernel of a nut is called nut meat, even though it is not made from muscle fibers. I think the line is drawn at poultry and fish sometimes because the input costs are so much lower than mammalian meat. CO2 taxes w

They aren't in a three letter agency, they are low level public servants. Individuals in such a position must be held accountable for their own actions. The system of police unions protecting them is a different matter.

No, GPA is not uniform and seems like essentially a courtesy score - a way for teachers to rank how easy you made it for them to grade your work. I would hire based off metrics related to depth of knowledge in the field, experience, and cre

Really? It seems pretty easy to fall into a group dynamic where one person gets the technical debt dumped on them while the other handles the non technical aspects. This is because it is easier to not communicate and just do everything you

Yes, I certainly think we should follow basic logic. I worked at a greenhouse. Historical data is obviously not based on current plant genetics. Do you think people use a greenhouse in midsummer? There is clearly a maximum temperature that

CO2 is one variable of many. Temperature is more important because it determines what enzymes can work efficiently. It's unlikely that current plants would survive the accompanying temperature changes that would occur if CO2 significan

Lowering tire pressure widens the base of the tire, changing the contact area(A) and adds some shock absorbing. The fundamental equation still applies to static conditions. Figure 3 on page 279 explains it. https://www.researchga

This is especially true for clay type soils that don't rebound as quickly or fully when compacted. When compacted beyond a certain pressure, the roots can't break through any longer. Small robots won't cause this though, it r
