Wow they really bury the lede here. People are opposed to it because the wind farm is demanding an annual 11% return guaranteed to them. I would be opposed to that too if I operated or lived in Iowa.

I do about 100kWh/day but I have a 4000 sqft house in an city that’s 100F with 100% humidity half the year and I have two electric cars.

I see so many new urbanists saying we’ve made a tremendous mistake, and I agree. But how can we fix it? Tear down all the cities and start over?

Well since their website is unusable (never mind the fact that a nature magazine has turned to culture war) I won’t be giving them anything.

We’re arguing semantics but on a big enough scale they would eventually. That’s why you don’t just line up 100 of them directly next to eachother.

I know you're taking the piss but I worked for a Shell subsidiary for 2 years very recently and they actually take all the "green" stuff very seriously despite the fact their core business accounts for 2% of global co2 emissi

It's getting very tiresome to see big oil/right wing talking points repeated on HN constantly. You can go read the Tesla impact report here: https://www.tesla.com/impact and see that they're doing their best

It's worth keeping in mind that the quality of Xray and MRI machines vary greatly and the facility doing the scans typically won't be upfront with what machines they're using. You are the only person who is ever going to adv

You are pricing battery storage in kWh but storage is measured in kW. $50-100 kW is "normal" for installed grid scale battery. There is no realistic way to GENERALLY determine the price of the kWh coming out of a grid scale batter

You would be surprised at how many people are on board with that level of punishment in the USA.

That behavior is going to drive their company to ruin as they slowly poison their own well with bad experiences.

Airbnb could EASILY fix the issues by two tiering their market place and having a HUMAN BEING validate listings and holding hosts to a very strict set of standards. Unverified listings could be in the tier two marketplace. The problem wou

You actually don't even need to buy the well. Currently they pay to haul the brine water away and reinject it into a disposal well.

Every single pumpjack well in Texas is pulling up brine water extremely rich with lithium that could be cheaply extracted with evap pools. It just hasn’t been profitable until now. Lithium typically isn’t mined like gold, silver or diamond

I don't think you understand. This isn't supermajors welching on contracts to get free work. The work stopped coming in because of the commodity price collapsed and the only oil being produced is from wells that have already been

Oil companies aren’t silos where everything is done in house. Supermajors depend on tens to hundreds of service companies to accomplish literally anything. For example on the exploration side almost 100% of the companies who do offshore sur

This is a pretty bizarre comment section. Oil companies have a fixed extraction cost and the market sets the price of the commodity they produce. Should Google arbitrarily force the price of ads lower when the instant bid happens for ad pla

The flip side to this is to have your site hammered by bots, scrapers and worms looking for exploits (look at your weblogs sometime and see how often Wordpress php pages are requested, lol). I don’t know what the middle ground is but in sp

You should keep in mind that only one provider allowed end users to pay spot rate and ERCOT revoked their license to operate after the freeze where power rates went to $4000/MWh. The average Texan (excluding people in East Texas who a
