Obama just appointed Ernie Moniz Head MIT physics professor

The white house just suspended tours because of sequestration.

7 people are employed to do tours.

Personally, I am all for leaving tours shut down permanently IMO.

you wouldn't have said that if bush 1 were still in office and you had a chance to sneak in there and bang barbara.

Takes a shitload of energy to heat a house and enough water for the day.

I suspect your numbers are skewed, even here in "misty rain land" a 300L solar hot water system will repay itself in less than 5 years.

Not photovoltaic or scalable to electric production. That's what "solar energy" means to most. cn

Odd, the tour I took was just a walk around self tour, we had no guide.

Couldn't we re-alocate some of the first lady's 20some odd staff?

The PV energy transformation technology is relatively "brand new"... Photovoltaics are still in the infant phase where our efficiency of converting photons to a voltage difference, resulting in flowing current, is only about 20%..

If you want to see a technology that is lagging behind, just research electric batteries... Li Ion has just made it to the consumer market as of about 10 years ago, (a 50 year old design) and we have been making batteries as a species for 1000s of years.
The only reason we don't have electric powered cars driving around everywhere is because we have yet to be able to create a cost efficient, energy dense, large battery.

PVs are great because all you need is some photons and a means to store the electrical energy (again, our battery technology is a weak link in that area)

Imo there is a basic problem with energy-dense batteries.
They're bombs. cn

Exactly we're at least a decade away "if" ever on any realistic battery operated system. Ask Airbus why they think about our current battery technology.

do you doubt the realness of the word 'if'?

or is it just that you don't know how to properly use quotation marks due to being educated in the south?

Oh wow nice effort on trolling. thanks for being a grammar Nazi on a cannabis forum your time would be better spent filling out job applications.

applications trip him up plus his main skill isn't really a skill - Everyone else in the world knows how to use a phone too... plus no one's buying treadmills anyway...

thanks for not ruining the stereotype of the ignorant, uneducated southern bigot!

how are those 16 hour days treating you, sweetheart?

You can say what you want about his online persona, but I'd definately buy Bucks treadmills, I mean credit where credit is due, he grows really nice plants.

whether or not i grow top shelf plants will be tested next year. i will be moving to the bay area of california, which is basically one of the most flooded markets in the world.

if i can satisfy a clientele there, i can do it anywhere. time will tell though.

I was looking at population data, and by 2016 you'll be in a minority in Cali.

It'll be like Christmas everyday for you.
