There's a big FedEx distribution center in CA with a 40-something thousand sq ft flat roof that gets about 85% of its power from solar and sells its excess back to the power company. But it takes a big investment with an eye to a breakeven point years out. I'm not so sure the aggregate investment for each proletariat hovel installing their own solar makes economic sense. It might but I'm not convinced. It smacks of Mao telling everyone to build their own tiny steel smelting furnace in the back yard in The Great Leap Forward.

When your world is the same 100 people on 10 different blogs screaming to each other how the Revolution Must Not Fail, you tend to get a distorted view of the world. I'm afraid most Americans never did, do not and will never care. I bet 3 out of a hundred can name their Congressperson. Voters don't hate Congress, they hate the endless nonsense spouted at them from the TV telling them to hate Congress or hate Bush or hate evolution or a million other things. But your opinion, here, is just an echo chamber. It's like years ago when Howard Stern called himself "The King of All Media". Guess what, he did it long enough so that everyone else started calling him that too, and they thought they had come up with the slogan to boot. Congress is a failure but it was a failure before. It didn't actually do anything. It's inaction before lead to the same policies and results. And before Bush Congress spent 6 years crucifying the President which ALSO lead to zero actual political results on anything at any time.

Congress has been useless for 30 years. Everyone knows that. You elect your flunkies and the good ones either yell to execute gays like you wanted or they suck Federal money into your district. The bad ones have 'ideals' which are all bullshit anyway. We might as well be one of the more popular South American Communist or Fascist dictatorships. Makes no difference/

Get over yourselves. And anyway, if you did, you'd rush right out to elect which ever demagogue promised you whatever you want to hear.

You crow about how wonderful shows that portray Americans as retarded rednecks are, then you review (typically) Survivor. I think you're the fucking retard, Heather.

It's a right actually. But let's not imagine more than 2% of them have any talent at all. Because they don't. They're the equivalent of ink stained hacks of Fleet st of a hundred years ago.

Are from people who are nearly as ego maniacal as Mailer was. Never let it be said that Brando and Gore Vidal didn't first and foremost rub their self professed genius in everyone and anyone's face.

Or were all these offensive posts addressed to handles? Because as much as I'd gleefully sodomize with power tools some of the letter scribblers here, I doubt their handles identify them in any real way and so there's no actual harm or threat to them even if I said it out loud. I've received death threats on line and I don't pay it any mind - It's not as if you can look me up in the phone book. So if the women identified themselves in a real world way and now they piss and moan that the big bad peoples are saying nasty things about them, then who cares? Maybe the law students need to pull their heads out of their vaginas for a second and stop sniveling.

Is this article. Grab a Strunk & White and have a whack at it. Please.

Why there is a perception that water is wet. But thank god Glenn Greenwald won't write that else there would be 400 posts screaming for attention about how water is wet and it's some fat white neocon guy's fault.

I would hope they'd post where they plan on taking the bar so their potential clients can steer wide of them. They've exhibited behavior which is not only idiotic, but as near-lawyers we can hope to see their careers short circuited by disbarment, ethical lapses, malpractice and the like. Not even the BAD lawyers I know are this incredibly fucking stupid. And some of THEM are in prison.

See the problem, anonymous (if that is indeed your real name) is that making a test case is a wonderful thing. Activist lawyers are everywhere. But a lawyer who makes him or herself their own test case is dumber than a bucket of tampons. And if you're defending them then so are you.

I'm a tool of the devil. And you're never at the meetings.

It seems short sighted for you folks to squawk in lieu of real cooperation and possible solutions. But, if you'd rather create a 'complaining about the environment' industry, have at it.

There are many people, who live in rural America who are professional farmers, ranchers, and such who not only have first hand close contact with the environment but also have some sane propositions about managed growth and sustainable cooperation between people and nature, and they happen to vote rightwards. You'd be better off forging a bond with them than alienating them. Otherwise what YOU want will just be tossed out of hand because you're a bunch of whiny urban agitators.

With a cheery yet almost insane smile of an Ira Levin inspired micromanaged nanny state. But more of the same, all the same. If you think that after 40 years the Democratic President is going to solve healthcare, the economy and foreign relations, you have been smoking too much weed.

Uses about 1/7th the power of a standard air dryer and works in 10 seconds or less.

I had one in France, an A-160 that got about 50mpg give or take. They say the diesel model gets 60. It's about the size of a Fit or Yaris. And you can get it serviced at a Benz dealer and not a San Fran Tofu shack and car repair shed.
