POPSdistraction as an energy-saver wonder how many faces it can recognise (say in a household of a family of 5)..... also, what if someone fell asleep facing the tv? would that face still be recognised?

POPSAmerican Socialism & Chinese Capitalism
We have urged China to join us in our quixotic attempt to prevent global warming. She has refused, arguing that her per capita consumption of energy is the lowest of any industrial country. Except for the leftist economists, economics tells us that we should let the prices of different energy sources determine when a new source is ready for development. No subsidy would be required if we let the market make the decision. Totalitarian China accepts this approach; free market U.S. takes the Soviet prescription. American firms are currently not investing in the United States. Net non-residential investment is barely enough to replace capital that is wearing out. Instead, billions have been wasted by corporate managers who have been engaging in such foolishness as buying back corporate stock. All this does is increase share prices that will supposedly justify management bonuses when earnings stagnate. Even banks did this throughout the run-up to the financial crisis, . . . . .

POPSThrough the Climate Change Looking Glass In Britain, it is startlingly clear that we have finally passed Through the Looking Glass with Alice. The Red Queen, like our naked emperor, is berating us to believe “six impossible things before breakfast”. But I am firmly with Alice: “There’s no use trying,” she said. “One can’t believe impossible things.”

POPSwind farms By way of example, if a two-tier reservoir system was constructed and during times of excess wind energy the surplus was used to pump water from the lower to the higher reservoir, and the water was then used to run hydro-turbines during times of lower wind energy production.

POPS"Honey, have you seen the wind turbine clicker?" Looks like alternative energy is finally going to be accessible to the average home owner via Ace Hardware stores...pretty neat. "Um, yeh...just a roll of duct tape and this plunger please. Oh, and can I get one of those wind turbines too?" ;)

POPSLet's get real about alternative energy The public discussion of energy options tends to be emotional, polarized, mistrustful and destructive. I hope that focusing attention on the numbers may make it possible to develop honest and constructive conversations about energy.

POPS"Saved Or Created" Green Collar Jobs Destroying Value All Over the Place speaking in a large hangar warmed by the desert heat. "That's the equivalent of powering about 13,200 homes during the day," he said, and it will save the Air Force nearly $1 million a year. ... The base's $100 million public-private solar power system covers 140 acres and generates more than 14 megawatts of electricity. Assuming the taxpayers' discount rate is 4.5% (based on the 30-year Treasury rate), a $1 million perpetual annuity is worth about $23 million today. Of course, that assumes the plant lasts forever. If its useful life is 30 years, chop that $23 million down to about $16 million. Did the public foot more than 20% or so of the bill for this public-private project? If so, it'd be a lot easier (and it'd make for much more entertaining show-and-tells) if the Treasury would just put our money into a big pile and light it on fire.
