At current energy prices ya, 2-3 years. But people are looking for a 12month ROI...... Really that dirty? Dunno what your qualifications are. Not terribly green to make, possibly/probably offset by lifetime.

I think Robinson mentioned that somewhere in "A Night On the Ground, A Day in the Open". Robinson was on the V-Notch ascent, so was certainly there at the beginning. How much influence he had, who knows. If I remember he made a few other claims in the book, or maybe in some Mountain Gazette issue, that struck me as sour grapes rightly or wrongly.

that was from a trade magazine on educating customers about the benefits (my company makes LEDs). The cost on current units is like 10x conventional bulbs

They got those hella tight volleyball-player bikini butts, too! They have a selective breeding program for asses down there. It's quite amazing

The ROI isn't there - and won't be for years. The big advantage of LEDs, economically, is in increased lifetime, and the reduced labor costs associated with replacement - which is why LEDs appear in stoplights, airplane interiors (new 787). The other big advantage is a smaller package size - why they are making big inroads in automobiles, taillamps currently, with HBLEDs appearing in headlamps in the next few years. Oh, and making them uses a bunch of really nasty chemicals like Gallium and Arsenide.

Those just bring on the pain more

ditto. obviously there's been a cover-up. they don't want the truth to get out. good riddance to bad rubbish. trask deserves an unmarked grave

I'm not surprised that the conservative finds the Yellowstone Club idyllic

Morons? Florida you say? I'd have never thought that.

Compare and contrast the business models: Company A funds your R&D costs, tooling, and production costs for Billion dollar enterprise, then you acquire technology to sell to company A. Later you use your new expertise to break into billion dollar business competing against Company A. You selffinance (or state aid) all of those costs to break into a billion dollar business against Company A

While they shovel their technology and capabilities to our longterm strategic enemies like China in exchange for cheap labour and sales today

it prefers maple walnut

trask?

canyons, canyons, canyons

I thought danes just sat around, moped, talked to skulls, and wrote soliloquies. At least thats what the men did.

Oh, how droll. He's emerged from the paneled room and Corinthian leather seats to treat us with another stellar stereotype stripped from the Wall Street Journal oped page. Jay, do tell us the joke about Ayn Rand, the Communist, Stalin and Roosevelt again!

we were? Then why did the US worry about wavering resolve, and devote such efforts to hero tours, etc. to prop up moral in 1944 & 1945?

Oh peter, what a beautiful ballerina you make, spinning, twirling, dodging, all in that beautiful dress.

someone has to make sure the missiles see, and the pilots, and the drones

Shouldn't you change your avatar name to Douchebag?

WTF do you think people post in spray?

all is better now

Hey, they could only up your reputation. If it were a famous climber I'm sure you'd be pricing out the surgery to affix your lips to their ass.

thank good for the opportunity to pseudo-anonymously spray about it though
