Sure, freeway is better, assuming your not in stop-n-go traffic on the freeway -- However in the case (like my commute) side streets are less impeded, then it makes more sense, even though time-wise it is about the same.

that is true, in addition, Europeans elected to tax gas at 50% to subsidize the development of public transit, we don't do that in the USA. They pay around $7/gallon compared to our $3/gallon.

he's got a mullet...what else did you expect?

Goes back to how most of that christian conservativeness, especially when marketed on television is a bunch of bullshit.

i added them awhile ago...is the issue that those suck too? Otherwise, there is no reason to sticky what I considered a "closed bug".

oh, sure ... instead of nuclear.

that is why corporate development will drive the cost down...billion dollar companies start outfitting their buildings with solar panelling -- it pays off for them, because they will likely be in the same office for 10 or even 20+ years....$15k to the home user, on the other hand...there is not much incentive. rebates and tax incentives can help kickstart any new paradigm shift.

I can tell you now, I won't buy it until its got a 2-3 year payback, instead or 10+ years currently before I would recoup my investment.

I also think there is a lot more efficiency that we can do, espceiclly in office space to reduce the need. like auto-dimming lights based on the amount of sunlight shining into through windows.
