How far along are they with the development of lasers? The British were supposed to have one ready for trial several months back but haven't heard much since.

which taken together makes Canada one giant carbon sink sequestering far more CO2 than we could possibly produce. The figures floored me. CO2 Absorption: With 594.7 billion trees absorbing approximately 14.87 gigatonnes of CO2 annually, Canada’s forests are a formidable carbon sink. National...

Which introduces another factor: the farmland, at least that around Brampton and Milton was at one time green belted. It was superb growing soil. If we are going to keep feeding more people we have to look at building where the land is of poor quality which is the exact opposite to where our...

sad, how many years was it before Hungary was able to rise above the 56 put down? And truly, have they ever really broken free? Same thing.

wasn't it 40% of those surveyed which is a lot different. But the article on rail traffic efficiencies spells out the problems quite succinctly and it seems to boil down to the difficulties and costs of trying to satisfy government bureaucracy and satisfy all the requirements for consultation...

With just the two categories one a year would provide the last River around 2040 by which time all the AOPS would be due for replacement and the first of the Rivers would be leaving its final mid-life. A little hurry-up wouldn't really hurt all that much and historically, you cannot expect to...
