on medium scales, as expected. the surprise is, on the largest scales, the fluctuations are almost entirely missing. they're just not there. the cobe satellite went up in the 1990s and took a very blurry view of our horizon sphere, and this is where people first noticed that the broadest fluctuations seemed to be very weak or missing. then more recently, nasa sent up the wmap satellite, which has taken a far more precise view of the microwave sky, and again, confirming cobe's observation that the largest fluctuations are indeed missing. there are two approaches to taking data and comparing that to the different possible models. you can look at the harmonics, the overtones, and look at the relative strengths of those harmonics. we see these fluctuations, but just like the musical instruments had harmonics, the sky has its harmonics, and in different spaces with different shapes, each one has its characteristic set of harmonics. a second method is to actually look and see whether part of the horizon sphere seen on on

we used to do coal on different scales. we burned coal in our furnaces. we don't do that anymore because of the health impacts, but we actually can do solar panels, white roofs, efficiency, distributed energy, which is quite efficient for getting energy to your home but we can do it on a big scale. we need to diversify, talk about efficiency. it's the first thing we should be doing. we need to hedge against volatility by providing a much larger percentage of our electricity market from these different types of resources. there's a great anecdote i always forget all the details of because i admit i'm not appear football fan. the last super bowl there was a statement about how important it was that wind energy provided energy in the super bowl because there were concerns about rolling blackouts in texas. wind energy hedged against that. we need to invest across the value chain. you've heard a lot about jobs on the deployment and installation side. this is actually a sector where we can do early stage research and development which speakers said they support

so what cummins is going to help us do is get that scale. >> let's talk about the scale because thispmorgan heresy report here, everybody's entitled to their opinion unless i can give it to all of them. each fuel will likely be used only in niche applications. the niche -- you know, they're basically saying cramer, don't get carried away, it's not going to be that big. and there is no yet -- there's no payback yet. in other words, that when you look at the actual economics of a trucking company switching it's -- because they have a fuel surcharge, trucking companies, they don't really get hurt by the high price of diesel, it's perceived. but wouldn't this be a great opportunity? i saw that one of the big truckers has just said we want to go full bar with this. even though they have a fuel surcharge, it's still economic if they want to take share away from the other guys to go with nat gas, isn't it? >> you might say that they don't care about fuel price, but their customer sure cares about fuel price. if there's another truck fleet that shows up and says, hey no, diesel surcharge, wh

those bathroom scales are supporting you, holding you up. now when that car goes off the cliff, you looked at the bathroom scale, you wanna read the force of gravity, but what do you read, gang? you read zero because you and the bathroom scale are both falling together. and so you feel what you call weightlessness. in physics, we say there's an apparent weightlessness because there's really a gravity force acting on you, okay? it's like this. i got here this ball, okay? you're in an elevator. you're in an elevator and all of a sudden, you're holding a ball up like this and someone cuts the cable. and as you're falling down, it seems to you like someone cut the gravity off. watch this, i hold the ball in front of my face. i step off, let go and it's still in front of my face, okay? now why did it stay in front of my face? now if you wanna try this and you wanna really get the effect, jump off a very, very tall building and as you jump, --there's no gravity acting. there's plenty of gravity acting, okay? the thing is you're both falling togeth

in large scale operations we will be quickly to identify the objectives of an opportunistic adversary and impose acceptable costs in another theatre of the world. even as we rebalance the posture toward asia pacific and continue to place a premium on the presence in the middle east, we will uphold the nato commitments, including through new rotational deployments of additional ground nato forces announced by secretary panetta a few weeks ago and in other areas of the world such as asia and africa, we will continue to develop a small footprint and innovative approaches to maintain the presence, an invest in our relaktionships with partner nations at relatively low cost. the use of an austere base in djibouti for the recent soft rescue of two aide workers held in somalia is how effective such presence can be. and even if we no longer size the army and the marine corps for large scale multi-year operations like those in afghanistan and iraq, we are establishing ways to retain the key expertise and the lessons learned so that subsequent generation of americans do not have to painfully rel

( applause ) oakland city officials were feeling pretty confident about the plan. in october, at the opening of the we grow marijuana superstore, the main candidates for mayor were running hard on the economics of pot production. >> people often ask me how much taxes do we get currently? under the current system, we're getting just under a million dollars in taxes... sales tax for the medical marijuana. but when the production facilities come online, we're estimating, in the first few years, $5 million to $8 million. now, that is a sizable chunk of change. >> was the city council in the city of oakland perhaps dazzled by the great riches that were going to come our way? absolutely. they talked about it, calling it the "green rush," right, in

scale economies are important only for very, very small wind projects. less than 5 megawatts. scale and learning effects have basically disappeared for solar generation, both thermal and photovultaic. there is a smaller amount of data from the d.o.e. for solar only showing declining costs for 1998 through 2008. so if we put all of those data together, the conclusion i come to is that the assumption that their industry effects yet to be had is at best far from obviously correct. then there's the level playing field argument. and the argument basically is that conventional power generation gets subsidies. and so renewables can't compete without similar treatment. that's kind of a non se-- then ought to get rid of those rather than introducing a new distortion of the market. but that aside, if you actually look at the eia data on federal subsidies per megawatt hour, these are the numbers you come up with. 63 cents for natural gas, 64 cents for coal, $52 and above for wind and $968 per megawatt hour for solar generation. we can argue about the methodology and argue about the numbe

this is very low scale, lots of light and so on and so forth on this side of the street. what this project will do is that it will be easily very readily available and observable from the street of a large addition on the roof and it will change the character of that side of the streets significantly. what we are fearing is that we will set a precedent. this is the building of the project. as you can see, these are architectural details on the roof that were put there when the buildings were originally built to have a low skill residential feeling. according to our calculations indicates what we will see from the street once this project is put in. it will be out of character with everything else on the block. in addition, we have a beautiful deck and this is what is seen today. this has a wonderful view and so on and so forth. this is what we project. the wall will take a significant portion away of the airiness of the deck and that would be the consequence. here is an isometric indicating the scale of this development in relationship to our property that we are on. what
