Dag -

Solar power has and will come a long way since it's conception. Remember this is an industry just coming out of its infancy.

The issue about batteries deals with the storage of the energy produced, not the actual production of energy. The currently most popular energy storage device is the battery (which the technology seems to be advancing every year), but there are alternatives to that including: hydrogen gas (a converter splits water and stores the hydrogen gas for later use - either heat or electricity production), compressed air (some energy production facilities use underground caverns pumped full of compressed air and then covert that into energy when needed), or simply a lack of storage by people that tie to an existing electrical grid.

Dannym is quite correct on the new production techniques have advanced. Currently there is a company that has been able to produce solar powered sheets of plastic. They have taken the advances of nanotechnology and applied them to this field. The conversion rate isn't great, but the cost of production are much less than traditional methods. The idea is that it can be made into siding for houses, roof tiling, etc.

I haven't read about the Thorium reactors. I can safely assume that there have been advances in that field in the last 30 years as well. I will look into that. Thanks for the link. I used to work in reactor plants, but had no desire to continue that work in the civilian world. All the nuclear plants in the US are east coast, california, or stuck in the midwest (and a small one in colorado.) I love the pacific northwest and had no desire to be anywhere else. It just something about the mountains and water... and looking across the water to see more mountains. Part of my soul is here and I'd rather not leave that. Oh yeah, a point - I haven't looked into newer designs. And I will look at that information and try to withhold my predisposition towards doubt as I personally think that solar is a much better way to go until we crack the fusion problem. I think that solar should always play a part, even if it is as simple as facing your house to true south with windows and building a trombe wall, eutectic salt chambers, etc. So much less energy would be spent if we focused on a little bit of good engineering in the housing market and conservation.

a touch of east coast, a touch of SoCal, a heap of whiney doe eye, a good helping of guido wop, a distinct lack of body hair, a lot of rich boy douche, and if thats hardcore dancing?.... i dated this. it ended badly.

True dat, we do share the same frightening demographics...You guys have another dynamic going for you as well, the concentration of crusty,due-by-date, east-coast oldsters-and the shell-shock of impending doom being on the front lines of storms what with yer ass-end hanging out there waiting for the next pummeling...each year of multiple hits sends more exhausted Floridians our way!

You know me, I love to bust balls and stir up the rabble....I am not so Texas proud anymore-Quite frankly, I'd rather have Cubans here than half of Mexico with the other half hot on their heals-However-I would love to get the Mexicans on the same page with people who are tired of the corporate restructuring of the planet-They are only here doing what they know out of desperation and by insidious design.:(

^Enoch(Biblical name)^Watch it buddy!...Texas is not the only state where common sense collides with assholes making the rules, y'know...In Fact, "Texas is the shizz-nizzle, motherfuckers!"...There are still more hipsters here per sq. ft here than in all your poncy states combined!!!


hey man,i wasnt hatin on texas.im in florida.which is just a wet version of texas.
a lot great people here..sad thing is there is also a huge retardo community we have to share space with.
texas is no different but at least you guys have waaay more space.

I thought she was just dumb as a rock until she said the east coast believes in slavery.

Now I want to believe this is a clever satire.

But I can't :-(

I hereby call upon all of the canadians of videosift!

Today, we march down and take america back for the commonwealth!

While they're all enjoying their watered down beer and "Am-ur-eh-kin" beef, we shall strike!

The nation will be completely wasted in their celebration, and be seeing double. We can use this to our advantage and have our army look twice as large as it actually is.

Depending on the level of their drunken stupor, we may be able to pretend we have a form of weapon of mass destruction if we all yell "BOOM" Loud enough, and at the same time.

We'll catch them off-guard and take new york first, and write graffiti on the statue of liberty if someone can ask to borrow a boat. (Remember, they're drunk, odds are they won't mind.)

We will then move across the east coast, taking them individually until we get down to texas.. They can somewhat hold their beer down there and have guns, we should probably just leave them the fuck alone.

After we've taken the entire east coast, We'll probably be quite tired and will have lost track of our goal, so I say we just detour to Disneyland and call it a day.

After we're through at disneyland, odds are they'll have taken notice, and the only way out will be to Canoe across the Atlantic, and into our British motherland, who will then hopefully protect us until everything back in north america has cooled down.

Happy 4th, ya bunch of rednecks.

Surf at the front steps of the Capitol... Makes me wonder how much of the east coast would become scuba-divers if that were to happen.
