• Commented on Obama DOJ invents radical authoritarian theory to defend Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping
  Obama has voted for more government control his entire (albeit short) political career. Also, now he is getting the same security briefings that Bush was getting, thus now has access to "the big picture". Why is this a surprise to...
• Commented on Elongated skulls discovered in Russia
  I call BS! Not only is the "dig site" the cleanest I have ever seen (cleanest people too!), but the skull looks TOTALLY fake! Check the jaw (starting at 0:48): Teeth are THE hardest bone in the body (and most...
• Commented on Anti "clean coal" short by the Coen brothers
  Phikus, No coal/oil/gas here in Hawaii (too geologically young). Plus volcanoes tend to be VERY hard to harness geothermally (lava is really hard on people and pipes). Most geothermal plants are on nice, stable hot springs that have been there...
• Commented on Anti "clean coal" short by the Coen brothers
  Phikus, You are wrong about a few points: 1) There is no federal law requiring the utilities to buy back "excess generation". Here in Hawaii (Maui) the local utility will buy back power at a rate set by the government...
• Commented on Climatic Heresy: 4.
  MDH, Sorry, but if your first question was serious and valid, then I HAVE to ridicule you. NYAH NYAH NYAH. If we reprocess the fuel, then the storage facility would be meaningless. Apologies to WOMBATSAM for degrading the comment quality...
• Commented on Climatic Heresy: 4.
  MDH, Do you seriously believe the designs have not evolved? I used to work at San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and over the 5 years I was there, they implemented so many upgrades to the equipment and designs, I lost...
• Commented on Climatic Heresy: 4.
  So if "everyone" is in agreement that GW is our biggest threat, and "everyone" agrees that CO2 is the cause, can we finally start building nuclear power plants AND get rid of the STUPID law that prevents us from reprocessing...

• Commented on Unintentionally funny video challenging Barack Obama's citizenship
  #101 Bld brdg nd gt vr t. Even yr wrshpd NYT did their own recount, and guess what? Bush won in 2000 in Florida. It was probably printed on page 56 in small print. And, as you argue, the Florida...
• Commented on Arctic melt 20 years ahead of climate models
  Brainspore, The technology has existed for decades: reprocessing. It pulls the long half-life products out to be reused in the reactors while the short half-life products can sit in the Nevada caves for a few weeks-years before it is safe....
• Commented on Arctic melt 20 years ahead of climate models
  All hail Gore! I hate to be the kid who sees the king as naked. I noticed on the 5th page of the IPCC report (listed as page 27 on the copy I downloaded from THEIR webpage) there is a...
• Commented on Chart of UAW compensation compared to manufacturing average
  So if the UAW makes so "little", then why are so many of the "big three" cars being made in Canada and Mexico? Of course, if we held all trucks and SUV's to CAFE standards, then we would still have...
• Commented on Performing walrus
  Just because she is a little overweight, doesn't give you the right to make fun of Rosie O'Donnell. Yes, I'm one of the 5 people that watched her most recent show. Just don't ask me what the name of it...
• Commented on Strange and endangered wildlife
  Jim, They were definitely screwing with you. Here is a video that shows the average speed of the buggers. They can run backwards a little faster when frightened, but you could walk right up to one and pick it up....
• Commented on Strange and endangered wildlife
  I have seen these things in the South Pacific on various islands, they breed like friggin rats and can be found by the hundreds. As a member of the People who Eat Tasty Animals, and a proud holder of canine...

  Takuan: It's in the 1st ammendment, the part most people forget: right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. BHO and the house have already stated their desire to re-instate the "fairness doctrine". As long as they are...
• Commented on The TSA Does Not Like Your Luggage
  Yes, you have the right to bring one of these bags through the security line at the airport. I also have the right to leave my brand new Corvette, engine running, unattended, in front of the 7-11 in the slums...
• Commented on Lutec's perpetual motion calculations a "basic mistake"
  What some of you are confusing are LAWS of physics (Gravity, Thermodynamics, Motion) versus THEORYS of physics (relativity, etc). The first thing I noticed about the experiment is where the "input" power gauges are DOWNSTREAM of the transformer. If he...
