Uber price gouging

mardi 3 avril 2018 à 02:00

It appears that Guber gouges frequent or regular passengers by charging them more.

Space weather high-tech threat

mardi 3 avril 2018 à 02:00

Extreme space weather, which happens randomly once in a while, could destroy the power grid in the affected region.

Our capacity to repair large industrial systems is limited to a certain number per year. If one blows out, it can be handled soon. If 10,000 blow out, they may have to queue for years -- after waiting for the systems needed for rebuilding to function again.

The good news is that distributed renewable generation capacity, which we need to avoid almost certain disaster from global heating, is most of what we need to prevent this problem.

VW diesel regulations

mardi 3 avril 2018 à 02:00

Volkswagen has been forced to buy back 300,000 diesel cars, whose emissions levels it lied about and disguised from tests. These cars are sitting in the parking lots of various facilities that are not in operation. However, Volkswagen wants to sell them again someday -- not by modifying them to emit less greenhouse gas, but by modifying the regulations.

You can convince a government to fool itself, especially a planet-roaster government like that of the US. You can't do that to the climate.
