Not saying that Wind will ever reach 50% of US energy needs, but states like Texas have already claimed to hit +9% of electricity generation in 2014. Even if that figure was overblown there is no way Wind power makes up any less than 7% of all of Texas's electricity needs, which is a huge...

FDI in retail would allow for foreign competitors like WalMart to setup a monopoly and conduct a hostile take-over of the market though, right? Quick term gains, but long term losses, this sort of Vikas is not in the national interest.

BJP has done wonders for Gurajat. If BJP can continue their good work at the center, then they will remain elected for the next 3 election cycles at minimum, just as Modi was x3 elected as CM in Gujarat.

I thought US Stingers were already selected? US Javelin lost the anti-tank man-portable missiles to Israeli Spike, but then won the anti-aircraft man-portable missiles with the Stinger.

Industrial solar panels don't use rare earth metals. Maybe some of the ultra high efficiency ones do, but this would also depend on the technology. Certain wind turbines do use some rare metals like neodymium for the electric generator, however it can be replaced if it ever gets too scarce...

Common taxpayers are not paying anything for this. It is LOAN, with practically no interest rates at .1%, it is a joke. This is easy money designed to permanently give Japan an edge in future Indian infrastructure projects and muscle out the Chinese, both of which are definitely good for India...

LVM3 - ISRO At 4.0 tons to GTO, it would be able to power nearly any heavy satellite into order giving India almost full independence from foreign launch vehicles. Afterwards, the LVM3 will be modified again by replaced the L110 Core Stage with a Semi-Cryogenic stage SC-160, and then use a...

1. Venezuela has the largest reserves in the world 2. America is the largest Oil producer at 13 million barrels a day 3. Oil will be on its way out as primary fuel for transportation in less than 30 years as electric cars become mainstream Not a bad video, but utterly fails to account for the...

Look at how well BJP did leading up to Bihar, and then at the end results. Civic Polls don't tell the whole story. The key to winning elections has always been about constituent math per MLA seat. BJP has practically no presence in Kerala, so any seat gains at all would be a huge victory...

ISRO is saying ULV won't be ready before 2020, assuming semi-cryogenic engine testing goes according to plan. So HLV won't be ready until 2030 by earliest then. Still, good to play ahead. Plus, ISRO is one of the few government organizations that has shown it can deliver what it promises if...

Two reasons. 1. To keep the manufacturing base and experience, which are invaluable for building a Military Industrial Complex. Those skills and technology can be applied to other aircraft. 2. Also, all military spending on indigenous equipment ends up going straight back into the country and...

Pakistan has a Navy?

Just reread it again, and your right. Must have had some cognitive dissonance after reading that headline. NDTV really is a joke, as is this @Guynextdoor2 fool.

Errrr. 2/6 in civic polls? BJP recently made bigger ground in Kerala.

Nobody is going to war over shot down planes. Russia is just going to retaliate by bombing the Syrian Turkmen and arming the Kurds seeking independence, and there will be nothing Turkey can do about it.

Solar power parks can be installed and setup in <6 months easily. Nuclear power projects go on for years. The security, insurance, land, Uranium, etc. permits take forever. And the end result is very expensive power, much more than coal, wind, and future solar. Not to mention they are extremely...

Upper stages of rockets need very high efficiency and cryogenic engines are most suited for that, however it is more expensive. Semi-cryogenic engines are better for initial stages, and have cheaper fuel costs. In the future ULV, which will be the main launch vehicle when it is ready, will use...

I don't know why F-35B is being picked up by UK, seems like the F-35C has better payload, internal fuel capacity, and therefore better range. F-35C seems like a much better overall carrier aircraft fit for the new UK Carriers. F-35B was made for special missions with American LHDs. Vertical...

Yes, but defeated and rendered useless. You will always have cults and fringe networks in any country. After IS is destroyed in Sryia and Iraq and no longer holds any lands or army they will be finished. Maybe some will call themselves IS and operate in the fringe or as Twitter keyboard...

Yes you can. Russia did it in WW2 by defeating Nazism, and it took them 9 million Nazis. You just keep killing these pigs until there are none left.
